He decides to leave for flight school with his best friend from Ponyville school, Chrystal, on the way to the flight camp, they will find Chrystal's secret brother, Blaze, who has some kind of Crazy love for weapons, but Cornflake had a job, take care of one of his best friends sister, Orange Cream, there they will find other friends and they will face some problems, but they maybe not accomplish one job, pass the flying exam.

Omigosh...there's an OC in my story named Blaze, and he's a demolitionist! That is so weird! :pinkiecrazy:

I don't know whether to press like or dislike.

Neither, I guess.

I guess this was ok so far...I'm on the 1st chapter here.:moustache::duck::derpytongue2::pinkiehappy:

TWE's Scribblestick here to discover the source of the downvote swarm! :pinkiehappy:

So I'm going to go out on a limb and guess English isn't your first language. Why? See the list below:
-English uses " " to indicate spoken dialogue, not -, which I believe is used in French
-Fiu = Phew
-Hu = Huh
-"You have nine years" = "You are nine years old."
-Jajaja = Hahaha
-Yey = Yay

Here is my first suggestion. After every spoken word, indicate who said it. When you have more than two speakers, it's really hard to keep track of who's saying what.

"Well, gee, Twilight, is it really that hard to keep straight?" Spike asked.
"Yes, Spike," Twilight replied. "Especially if you have more than two speakers or are switching between two scenes.
"Fine," Spike grumbled. "I'll do it over again."

Here is my second suggestion. Find a better balance of dialogue and narration. Right now, you keep them as far apart as possible. Mixing them together makes the story much more interesting and shows us things about the characters.

"Aw, what now?" Spike moaned, his head dropping to the desk with a thud.
"Well, reading a lot of straight dialogue gets boring after a while," Twilight said, gently caressing the dragon's spikes.
"Writing is a lot harder than I though," Spike mumbled, his voice half-mufffled by the desk.
"Don't worry, Spike," Twilight said with a chuckle. "It gets easier with practice."

Finally, the word "woman" does not exist in Equestria. They have mares.

Hope this helps! :twilightsmile:

Good job on the 2nd chapter.:pinkiesmile::heart::derpytongue2::moustache:

This another okay chapter but longer than the others. It kind of depends on the limit of chapters actually. Plus,you started a lot of sentances with lowercase letters. For example,you typed this: -oh no, now I have to find him. Just saying but I love the story so far. :pinkiehappy::trollestia:

Loved the plot on chapter 4. But I got a bit confused when you started saying that Orange Cream was holding a picture of her family because it was already saying something about the grid and Blaze flying off. Anyways,love the story so far. Let's go chapter 5!:scootangel:

The same (about) 30 lines were repeated,I don't know if either you did that or my computer's mess up. Anyway's,why did Midnight die?:fluttercry:

You did the most beeping amazing job on writing/typing this wonderful yet violent story!:derpytongue2::heart::pinkiehappy::pinkiesad2::pinkiesmile::rainbowkiss::raritystarry::raritywink::scootangel::twilightsmile::trollestia:

1552555 you're the first person that liked it! thank you so much


1552206 thanks dude..... and the first sentence (you know that I don't really catch the english so far)
it says you liked it or hated it?

1552622 Neither. I said I was going to point out why so many people haven't liked it.

1552671 yeah..... everyone destroyed my hope to make another one

And now you're a comment deleter.

Brony, you just made a big mistake. We at the TWE don't care for comment deleters.

Fortunately, I saved my review. Have it again.

The Flight Camp, by little-corneflakeda

Hi-ho, Deep Pond of the Train Wreck Explorers here! I have a snazzy hat and everything. I've got a few simple ideas on how you can improve your fic.

i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll29/Lord_Talisman/mlfw5283-Fluffle_letsdothis_zps81d6c5cb.jpg

WARNING!

May contain mild language and blood

This is unnecessary. Your fic is rated Teen, which already implies that it'll be a touch more mature than canon (which is G or occasionally a very light PG).

:ajbemused: Putting sounds in asterisks works in IMs, PMs and comments; not so much in a serious work of fiction. Try italics instead. Better yet, try actually writing out what's happening.

:ajbemused: Speech should be enclosed in quotation marks, always. Some authors deliberately leave them out to look arty, but it really makes it harder to read. Note that this is a quotation mark: " while this is an apostrophe: '. Also, quotation marks go at both ends of the line, not just at the beginning.


:ajbemused: Double-space your paragraphs. Walls of text confuse Rainbow Dash. :rainbowhuh:

:ajbemused: Always capitalize proper names, the first word of every sentence, and the word "I" when referring to the speaker.

:ajbemused: I rarely say this, but . . . you need more dialogue tags and attributions. Take this, for example:

-Nothing mom!! just Cornflake's body breaking a window!
-fiuuu! I thought it was one of my glass bowls.
-Well, are you ready to leave?
-uummm... actually..... I have to say good bye to my family in ponyville, I know the are going to miss me. and I haven't eaten.
-Go say good bye then, but hurry, we don't wanna miss the train.

There are absolutely no attributions here, making it hard to tell who's saying what.

Also, "fiuuu?" What on earth does that mean? Is Cornflake's mother starting to say "fuck" and cutting herself off?

:ajbemused: Multiple punctuation marks are bad. Don't use them. In particular, using three exclamation points does not make a sentence more exciting; it makes it look like you don't know how to use exclamation points.

When Cornflake entered the house, he saw his parents in the kitchen. It was a big surprise because his parents lived in a galaxy far, far away, so it was very expensive for them to travel to ponyville. they use to come like 3 times a year.

Random Star Wars reference because . . .? That might work in a Random Comedy, but here it's just bizarre and jarring.
Also, write out your numbers: "three" instead of "3."

As she got in, Cornflake ran to a machine were he inserted one bit and it gave him a mini bag of corn flakes, just then, he could enter the train.
Once he entered, the door closed,and he stayed staring at it, thinking of his family, when he turned back, suddenly, a little light-grey with purple eyes and black-haired colt was staring at him.
-Hi! i'm
*FACE PUNCH*
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
- O my god! s....sorry...I.....I didn't want to do that........
- Oh SH*T!!!! I'm bleeding!!
-Sorry!!
Cornflake ran to his seat with Chrystal, who looked at him with a very angry expression on her face.
-What happened? why didn't you come sooner?
-I punched someone

I'm sorry, I don't want to sound mean, but this is just incoherent. I think Cornflake just punched somepony in the face for absolutely no reason. Other issues here:

"*FACE PUNCH*" is not good. Not in any way at all.

"SH*T" - what are we, seven? If you're going to use profanity, use some goddamn profanity. Or, better, uses canon profanity: "horse apples," "what the hay," "oh my Celestia," etc. Yes, it means you can't use some words and phrases, but that's part of the challenge.

This needs major work. I can't get past the first chapter here.

Things You Did Right:
You didn't make your OC an alicorn, give him a black-and-red coloration, or give him a name like Shadow Fire Of Angsty Gloom.
You've mastered the one-speaker-per-paragraph rule.

Keep writing! It's the only way to improve!
