Based on Leo Tolstoy's story called "the old shoe maker", Cobbler, our old Horse-shoe maker meets several ponies who need his help.

For reference, the story takes place before the show starts and during the winter after fluttershy falls from Cloudsdale.

Cobbler is spelled with two Bs. Also having canon characters appear doesn't make much sense, as they don't share any continuity and aren't particularly evocative of their show appearances. Also, references to Christianity in Equestria don't make much sense by themselves, and have to be put into context. It isn't enough to just copy a story and insert ponies.

I do belive everything else you critiqued the story on possibly negates your last point... But regardless. Thank you for the review!

Finished reviewing for the Goodfic Bin (since I read it a while back, I decided to get it out of the way quickly). Due to reasons I've explained here, I'll be rejecting it from submissions.

Even though I knew where this was going...I still felt emotional and a few tears were shed. Thanks for adapting this. 👍

If more people had your perspective I might not have left the fandom. Thank you for your kind words. This was one of my first real attempts at writing something with actual skill. Now i'm a professional and published author, looking back on these early days is kind of wild. Both in a good and bad way.

Again, Thank you.
