Chapters (5)
I see your working out a lot of effort and that these kind of stories aren't that bad at all, but let me just ask you:
Why are you making a trilogy of these stories in continuity with one another? Your past fics have only garnered at least 90+ views, meaning there is not really much of a following behind them. There is a rule behind sequels in both literature and film: If it wasn't popular, don't make a sequel. Some people (like myself) aren't going to go through the tussle of reading the past stories in order to understand the second or third.
Trust me: You'd be surprised how different it is to deviate from what you've already set down, and the sort of ideas that we'd love to see coming from someone who clearly has their head on straight in terms of continuity and fiction.

EDIT: Apologies if there is some sort of cult following behind this, I just thought that you'd like to hear an outside opinion.
Well thank you for your time Distrance, I understand that none of my stories have really hit it off with the public but I write anyways because I want to. Truth be told this started as something for myself to enjoy writing and my close friends to read so regardless of what happens on FIMFiction I was going to write this all anyways. I don't have to post these on here but I know I've picked up a few readers and one reader is all it would take to convince me to keep doing what I love to do.
So ya, I'm a writer for the love of writing, whether people read it is another story. This was mainly a test to see how I enjoyed writing within the boundaries of the Ponyverse since I've been working on other projects through out the summer. This was an experiment I loved testing and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to even read the first one.

Perfectly understandable. In these regards, enjoy yourself, sir.
And seriously consider your 'new viewers' as thinking human beings and don't put huge banner in beginning of description.
Annotation at the end will suffice.
Oh please don't get so personal about the sequel notices, I definitely don't think my readers are brain dead zombies. If anything they are to remind me that I still have some thing I can improve about my own writing like including enough of the important details from previous stories into the newer ones to allow them to stand alone instead of forcing people to go through 18,000 words they didn't intend on reading.
