Just a man who enjoys the show (especially Derpy and Dinky) that also has a thing for writing sad/feelgood stories, usually about baby ponies.

Ever since her birth a few days ago all Dinky has known is nothing but darkness, a never ending hunger pain in her stomach, and her so called "Mother's" cold and cruel personality. Perhaps leaving her foal abandoned in the end was the kindest act The Great & Powerful has ever performed for her daughter. At least now some other kind pony might rescue Dinky. (story based on the cover image, a panel from a comic)

This story has a tough row to hoe, focusing on darker-than-dark subject matter and portraying a fan-favorite character in the most negative light possible. But it did a good job of building sympathy for Dinky and antipathy toward Trixie. Poor little Dinky. :fluttershysad: Horrid, awful Trixie. :flutterrage: I'd like to know more about why Trixie is so much more awful here than we see in the show; alternate interpretations can be good, but I just want to see more depth underpinning her decisions.

There were some mechanical issues that I felt kind of disrupted the flow. The statements you put in parentheses definitely did this, though they also added to your explanations of what was going on. The opening paragraph was also very, very dense; it might've helped pull more people in if Trixie's decision-making process could have been part of a dialogue with one or more nurses in the hospital, rather than simply being told to us.

Probably my favorite part in here was the action and description that you used to establish the inside of Trixie's trailer. It feels like a cold and lonely living-hell.

You mentioned that the art is a panel from a comic. Could you link to it?

You also said something in the author's note at the end about there being other stories showing Derpy finding Dinky in the dumpster. I haven't been around as long as some in the fandom, but I haven't personally seen any stories like that. Could you add a link to your favorite? That would help make this more of an unofficial prequel for that story. As it is right now, it feels like the beginning of something that ends right as it's about to start getting really interesting.

6674048 Thanks for your feedback. I added the link to the comic strip and this is my favorite story of dinky being found by derpy in the dumpster.

Trixie did what to Dinky...?

This begs for a sequel where Dinky is discovered and suitable punishment handed out - something along the lines of being covered in woodchips and shoved in the forest for the Timberwolves
