Oh my goodness
Sequel please.
What it turn out that the choosing stone was just Queen Chrysalis waiting behind the the choosing stone for the pony who would want to know who their soulmate is.
When in Hearthbreakers was the Choosing Stone mentioned? I watched the episode, but I don't remember it being mentioned.

Igneous Rock mentioned it to Granny Smith when they were searching for the flag.
Who say it have to be a pony?

I'm gonna start on the sequel right now. I'm really pumped to write it.
Oh my Celestia please a sequel to this masterpiece !! I loved every moment of this story

Thank you so much!
And yes, a sequel will be coming in a few days or so. I'm halfway through the first chapter, so it will be published very soon!
I'm glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! I wouldn't say "masterpieces" are coming, but decent stories are on their way! I'm not the best writer ever, but I'll say I'm improving!
Thank you for the kind words!
Interesting, very well presented description of the traditions, if a little OOC for Igneous and Cloudy, but the archaic language structure they use is not for everyone. Thumbs up for you on this.
Well, isnt that just a nice little tidbit?
Its too bad that something like the Choosing Stone isn't real in our world.

I know, right? That would solve so much depression!
6835625 And all the divorces that keep happening across the USA too.
I think Maud is the eldest, but aside from that a good start. Why do I see the Choosing Stone going in reverse order having Marble getting engaged first just to screw with Ingenious Rock?

Well, in this article, it states:
7008557 okay, it was just that the dialogue in Hearthbreakers lead me to infer that Maud was the eldest but with her working on her rockerate the farm would go to Limestone.
This had some really good world-building to it, and I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait to read that sequel!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the sequel!

I like to think that Limestone isn't always all angry when around her family. I think she was with the Apples because she thought they were forcing their way into her family. She seemed happy and kind when she accepted them, so I think she is just VERY protective of her rock farm. (I mean, that's just how I perceive her
)
And I thought she was the oldest at first also. However, this Wiki informed me that Limestone was the oldest of the sisters.
And I hope you enjoy the sequel!
I read this story because I was curious about its sequel. Unfortunately, after reading this, I don't think I'll be reading Chosen Love.
I have two main problems with this story. The first is that it really isn't a story, it's a bunch of exposition for the next story. The plot of this story can be summarized as: Igneous tells his daughters how the choosing stone works, and that's it. Yes, there was some world building, but for a world to be interesting, something should happen in it! Presumably that's what happens in the sequel, and while I am a little tempted to read that, I probably won't due to my second issue with this story.
My second issue, and the more serious one, is that all of the characters felt exactly the same. Igneous and Pinkie have two of the most distinct voices out of any characters on the show. The way that Igneous speaks on the show is exactly the way that Pinkie doesn't. However, let's compare two bits of dialogue from your story:
Those were supposed to be spoken by Igneous and Pinkie, but I'd challenge anyone who hasn't read the story to be able to guess that. This lack of distinction between the different characters in the story contributes to a sort of blandness that makes it difficult to become invested in the story. If the characters don't feel like they're actual, distinct entities, it's hard to care about them.
The first issue is one that I expect would be fixed in the sequel, but the second issue? Maybe, maybe not. This is a somewhat older story of yours, so you've probably improved since writing this, but as of the time of this story, your dialogue needs a lot of work. Good luck on your future stories, and maybe I'll give one of them a shot eventually.

Thank you for taking the time to review!
And I originally wrote this without the sequel in mind; it was really just me dumping a headcanon onto paper and the sequel came from there.
And, to address the point of characterization, I will admit that this story and the beginning of Chosen Love aren't the best, especially when it comes to Igneous' dialogue. I've been meaning to fix that, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Thanks again!
8182485 And thanks for appreciating the review! As I said, I'm still unsure whether or not I'll be reading the sequel, but I'm glad to hear that you're aware of what needed improvement. So if I read the sequel, I'll see you there! If not, then take care!

You too!
I wish this had a sequel...
Is no one going to mention the broken EM English? If you are going to write there speech like that take the time to do it right.
