If this story is not anthro I suggest you change the story pic, if it is anthro add the tag

This doesn't have any relations with Theponycaptorproject and his story does it?

I think you did read mine cause in mine I killed Higj Rise as well

You should also link to the original story if you're piggybacking off it, it's just a basic courtesy to the original author.

Thank you for that I shall. All this is still a little new to me

You should do a story around your career: Truck driving!!

:applejackunsure:It's a very quick-and-simple fix, isn't it? I think a more interesting way of telling this concept would be to go through the story of him tracking Sweetie Belle down to Aldo's mansion. By that I mean that it could be made into a story that could be an adventure of it's own.

I promise I don't want to sound negative; I'm trying to give my take on this to help you as a new writer. And so far I've only read the first chapter.
There's just not much to read if he just appears on the doorstep, talks a bit, and everyone is intimidated into letting him leave with her as short and sweet as that.
:ajsmug:I bet it probably felt good to write it though.

With a simple jester Pin Point followed High Rise

:twistnerd: You mean "gesture".

:applejackunsure: This chapter was pretty much the same concept as the first chapter though; a way-too-easy fix.

He stepped in jestering back to the door

:twistnerd: "Gesturing"

:twilightsmile: When transitioning scenes it helps to use borders to help mentally set your audience into realizing the transition. Most authors use a short row of stars in the middle of the page.

:rainbowkiss: This chapter made me think of Kill Bill Volume 1; starting off with the protagonist fighting solo in a crowded building, then after fighting through that they pit themselves one-on-one against a single uniquely-dangerous enemy. The big boss was a bit of a pushover in comparison though.

Honestly the fight went a bit too well in his favor to not be a quick fix, though it's good to see this chapter didn't repeat the first two chapters.

I'm just starting out. This is my first attempt of actually publishing something and I feel I'll get better the more I write. I come up with ideas all the time I just haven't put them to my tablet yet. Maybe if I had someone to help me or someone I could run ideas through I can make a better story. However the only other person I can never tell my stories to is my son. So I'm doing what I can and still driving an 18-wheeler down the highway.

:twilightsmile: There's a concept most good writers follow in storytelling: "Show. Don't tell."

To quote Wikipedia:

It's a technique often employed in various kinds of texts to enable the reader to experience the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the author's exposition, summarization, and description.

Basically the audience wants to be a part of the experience. Rather than to hear Pin Point say what happened they want to go through it with him - sort of like we did when he went into the bar to rescue Scootaloo. As the protagonist that the story follows we want to actually see, hear, smell, and feel Pin Point doing the things he does; not hear him explain them. That's what gives us a connection to the characters we read about.

:pinkiesad2: I like this chapter. It actually made me tear up a bit to see everyone reunited. I love the alternating perspectives a lot too.

:raritystarry: The only thing I'd point out that could use a little polish are the segues from one POV to the next. Maybe instead of labeling the pony at the top of the section pertaining to them the experience just gives them away for the reader to grasp at as a clue. Like for instance Rarity could hear her name mentioned.

I noticed every chapter was better than the previous one. Like you were learning more about writing while you were doing it and trying new techniques. It was kind of cool to see the process actually. I'm glad I read this.

Tons of people love helping out authors on this site. I often see people credited as helping with editing or proofreading in the notes. ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed writing.
