As one of my friends stated: the title is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There is something there, something that can be interesting. A gem of potential, if you will.

Unfortunately, the writing itself leaves a lot to be desired. I'd recommend getting a proofreader or two, probably an editor as well.

You qualify for a Warren Peace review. Prepare yourself...

Right off the bat I can tell you two things: stay in school and get an editor and/or a proofreader (both editor and proofreader are links to choice groups, by the way. Use them!). If your description is this chock-full of errors then your story is going nowhere. A story's description is one of the main hooks that will grab your readers and entice them to read your story. No one is enticed by improper capitalization and poor sentence structuring. Even with the fixing I've done above, you still need to put a lot more into that description to make it passable. A bad description is the harbinger of a bad story, and nobody likes a bad story.

As well, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with a chapter count of only 1,062. Sure, it's passable for the site, but only barely. Aim for a minimum of 1,200 words per chapter.

As a final pre-story note, unless you drew the coverart it's common courtesy to credit an artist in the description.

Now, onto the story!

Author's Note:
Hello everypony! this is my first book i I have ever published here so please don't hate me if it's terrible! :twilightsheepish:

We don't care and even if we did, that's no excuse. All writing this does is entice more people to hate you for falling back on the old adage of: "it's my first story, don't hate it." Unless it's good we are going to hate it and writing something like this only draws in trolls like vultures to carrion. Get rid of it.

His eyes were drooping & and his back was slouched as if he was a zombie.

Don't use shortcut signs like this. It takes next to zero effort at all to write 'and' instead of '&'. Using the & sign just looks lazy.

A thing that was very alien to Twilight, It has had been many years.

Don't play around with tense like this. Previously you'd been using past tense (words like 'was' and 'said' instead of 'is' and 'says'), don't change randomly to present tense like this.

"It worked...." Twilight mumbled., then spoke up to the creature, "Hello, son, can you speak?" She asked

If it's the same character speaking, you don't start a new paragraph. As well, there's a plethora of mistakes here and there; mostly "its vs. it's" and random word capitalization. These can be fixed rather easily by an editor, which you should get. In addition, description is tame and lifeless and this makes for a dull read. For example:

She went to a metal table, rust and blood all over it.

Versus:

She trotted over to a metallic table set in the corner of the room. Its surface was patch-marked and stained with creeping rust and browned, old bloodstains.

See the difference? And to be fair, a lot less telling and a lot more showing would also make this a far more interesting read. For example:

It was filthy and unorganized.

Versus:

Long-abused books and old crumbling scrolls lay littered like the careless droppings of some wild beast. Both shared the filthy floor strewn with old garbage that hadn't quite made it to the trash bin.

See the difference? This isn't something that one can just pick up. An editor and proofreader can be of great help here as well, so be sure to grab a couple. Additionally, reading can be of a great help if done in excess.

Rotten flesh Flesh wasn't really a cold blooded killer, much less like seeing the sight of blood.

Why is she taking her Frankenstein monster out for a walk if he just said he couldn't use his legs? Throwing him up against a band of what I assume are armed and dangerous ponies is a fast way to get her monster killed. Logical flaw detected: she ought to start smaller and work her way up to real combat. Hell, she could grab another lost pony and force him to kill it, using torture or whatnot to get him to do so.

So yeah.

The writing was boring, unimaginative, and quite weak. At no point did I really get a solid mental image of the scenery or characters therein. You could create a much better story if you had Twilight condition Rotten Flesh into being a killer through torture and mental mind-fuckery. Just having him go into 'psycho killer mode' whenever the story demands it is a cheap shortcut. As said before, the story does have some interesting potential, but it's wasted here with poor execution. Get some editors and proofreaders to help you make the story shine, and perhaps try a few practice stories while you're at it. Stick with one-shots and canon characters, just putting them through some conflict or situation to get ahold of how to write a proper scenario.

Questions or concerns? PM me. Otherwise good luck and farewell...

If Rotten Flesh was overtaken by a sudden urge to kill other ponies, why didn't that instinct kick in when he saw Twilight?
