All I want is to be remembered. Not for what I've done, but because I tried to be better.

While on a tour of Canterlot Castle, Chipper Blaze gets separated from his tour group and accidentally discovers his "All Access" pass unlocks a lot more doors than it's supposed to.


A one-shot story set in the Quill & Blade Universe. Written for the Quill & Blade Summer Jam Writing Contest. Selected as one of four finalists, and tied for third with The Long Con by Pearple Prose.

It's flattering that folks entered the contest. More so flattering are those who chose to include Q&B elements in their story!

What stands out to me the most is the vivid yet succinct imagery. Nothing goes on and on; each description can be easily read in the natural flow of the surrounding story without dragging it down or feeling superfluous. It's all too easy (and I've definitely done this myself, honestly) to let the imagery take over the scene or rhythm. You have found the perfect balance and you have total kudos for that.

The Silent Knight depiction is great! It's always fun to see how he's interpreted by other characters. Crystal perceives him differently than Velvet, who perceives him differently than Azurite, than Sunny, than Chipper... so, thank you for widening the net of third-party Silent perspectives.

Also very intrigued and interested in your own personal flair to Canterlot Palace, of paintings and symbolism and decor and Celestia's influence/desires/preferences. I truly love it all... but I suppose, given you were one of our top favorites, that went without saying.

Thank you Crystal! I was worried my Silent Knight might be a little off since I haven't read as much Q&B as I should, so I'm glad you liked him. :twilightblush:

very pretty tour!
