An Intricate Disguise


Selling out has never felt so dirty.

Three for three.

Can I just say how confusing it is reading a first-person narrative of Trixie while she refers to herself in the third-person?

I've actually mixed the persons based on her feelings and actions throughout, kinda like code-switching. It's either a new and innovative interpretation or irritating as hell, I'll let you decide.

A bit awkward, I found, but otherwise ok.

Glad to hear so! Thanks for reading, glad it was tolerable.

8600216 I could tell that it was intentional at least, which is good. But I didn't understand the pattern. The clarification helps a bit, but I would probably advise against it in the future.

Still, kudos for at least trying something new and innovative!

Thanks for the honest opinion, it's appreciated! Yeah, it was something of an experiment, and I'm unlikely to repeat it, but thank you! I like to try my best to be inventive with my concepts and execution.

That was pretty immediately apparent upon reading it and really added to the story. Though it's nice as a rare thing, it would become immensely annoying in an longer fic/more fics.

Are you plotting to make my dick explode?
Is that your plan? Who sent you? KGB?! Volgin?!

I hope you plan on making a twidash ending/epilogue because I'd love that.
And about the whole first person/third person I don't really have an opinion, it was weird, but it didn't really disturb me nor was it 'good'.
It does make sense on Trixie, but I'd personally go with her always calling herself in third person when speaking to herself, and going to first person when 'messups' happens, as in something surprising and/or something requiring her entire attention happens. Just the way she does it when speaking out loud, really, always referring to herself in the third but from time to time slipping an 'I' in there by mistake.
Idk, I don't really care anyway so you do you, but please don't stop writing, ever.

Another greatly enjoyable vouyerism fic for my favorites shelf.

As someone who doesn't know a lick about writing, I found the switch in person fitting with the character of trixie and the general tone of the story. While reading, its inconsistency stroke me as something new that did not hinder the flow or break immersion, but rather as an original and effective way to point out a peculiar trait of the character. That's a all good in my book and, if there will ever be more, I'd be down for that.

How do write gud words fast like you?
And dang, you're really into voyeurism, aren't ya?

caught a playful little smirk on her face

Oh shit, all your voyeurs really need to hide themselves better.

Now we've got 2 arcs going on. I think I like this universe.

Or, maybe Starlight needed

Delete comma

Trixie had done it! 

I see in another comment that you do this on purpose depending on her emotions. I have edited this comment to say that I don't agree. This really is annoying as hell. I won't push the issue though.

as was Trixie's head as she

Trixie's head, as she

no matter how I tried.

how hard I tried. (??)

Trixie was decisively less 

Does "decisively" even work here? Maybe "definitively"? And definitely "definitely".

did it: Slowly massaging

Decapitalize "slowly"

And with the way Starlight's breath was beginning to husk as she nipped at her ear

See, the problem I have with you switching how Trixie thinks is that when you play the Pronoun Game, it can get confusing for the readers.
beginning to husk as she nipped at my ear

Thought you might be, Starlight laughed

"Thought you might be," Starlight laughed

Horrible grammar advice. Many of your suggestions are flatly incorrect.

8602128
Like what? I want to get better at this, yeah?

8602144

Both commas you said to delete were valid, if optional.
The one you suggest adding would be incorrect.
How I tried is a valid formulation of the phrase.
Decisively does technically fit, though other options exist.

Your other error catches were ok.

Regarding the nibble pronouns, it's useful to remind authors that they can avoid confusion through adjectives. There's no guessing necessary if the ear's color is noted, for example.

8602167
Ok, so the two deleted commas.
Clinging is referring to how the smile was on the muzzle, they shouldn't be separated.
For similar reasons, the second comma is unnecessary too.

The door was askance, as was Trixie's head as she found herself drawn forwards

Adding the comma after Trixie's head makes this an appositive phrase and allows the reader to more concretely imagine Trixie's head as "askance". Otherwise, we'll just see the "askance-ness" being separated.

"how hard I tried" definitely has some question marks after it because I was unsure if the original was alright.

"Decisively" doesn't fit there because she because she didn't regret her actions afterward and because that sentence is looking back at her previous actions. This means that "definitively" doesn't work that well either, but I also did recommend "definitely".

8602221
The lack of comma when it comes to the askance bit does more to associate her head's angle with her forward motion.

Great story! I loved it!

The fact that 'Trixie' is a warning, made me laugh so much harder than it should have

8602454 Glad you enjoyed that! Now I'm just waiting for someone to pick up on the chapter title...

Fetish that is underrated AF. We need more invisible girls.

Trixie tired to stifle a scream but she couldn't manage, her hoarse cry of pain and pleasure...

Are you sure that wasn't a horse cry. :derpytongue2:

I loved this fic. The pairing, the plot, the things that go in the plot. Mmmhmmm. Thank you! :heart:

I dunno who you are, but you know what you doin'. 👍

very sexi

This is excellent. I think the third/first person thing works very well. It really gives a sense of authenticity to telling the story from Trixie's perspective.

The only things that felt out of place were the few instances of indirect speech.

One more thing: I really like Google's coincidental example for the word "purchase" which was used herei.imgur.com/9t82goO.png

My journey to the castle was spurred on by two things: My eagerness to show off my new ability to Starlight and my rapidly freezing fetlocks. What I wouldn't have done for some heat right then.

Something tells me you're going to get your heat much sooner than you think... if you know what I mean.

I think we can all guess what the people on Google have been reading. :trollestia:

Personally, I really liked the mix of third and first person. Would never work normally, but it really helped characterize the narrative as Trixie’s, and with that understanding I didn’t find it confusing. You also captured their dynamic quite well throughout, though the “You and f*cking equality” line is almost definitely my favorite :rainbowlaugh:

8643607
Ooh yeah, I agree that is a good example :)
Your new friend, Rexy :)
