Inky Shades


T

Like a leaf caught in the wind, Rainbow Dash drifts further away from her friends. She claims nothing is wrong, yet she brushes them off and ignores their texts every chance she gets. Desperate to reconnect with her best friend, Fluttershy takes matters into her own hands before Rainbow drifts away for good. However, in doing so, Fluttershy may learn that the situation is worse than she initially believed.

Very good are you going to make a story that explains what happens next

Thank you! You know, I'm not sure if I'll write a sequel or not. Maybe if I get inspired enough. As it is, I wanted to leave it open at the end.

Thanks for clearing that up hoping for a sequel:pinkiehappy:

Noted. Thank you for reading!

A Silent Plea ~ Review

Firstly, I need to tackle the pacing. I felt everything went smoothly and slowly building up to them reconnecting with each other. A personal grudge is how many times massive gaps like days or weeks pass, it could see improvement there.

Then the quality, oh my lord this is crisp quality. I felt like I could have been there as a witness, it was really precise and in detail. Especially allowing readers to pick up on the ending. Also the title is quite clever, Fluttershy is waiting for a moment to speak back when its silent hence "A Silent Plea".

Honestly I want to see where this goes since this quality has me feeling that I was there. Keep up the good work!

[I am not a person who reviews every story nor am I good at it, this should not be taken as fact but as constructive criticism. ]

I suspected as much. I'd like to see more.

A lovely review. Thank you!

pacing is something that is quite important to me, so I'm glad everything felt smooth and natural.

A fair criticism. I'm always of the mindset that if nothing of particular importance happens during a period of time, it's best to skip it lest the story get bogged down by potentially unneeded wordage. I still keep this in mind though. After all, too many skips can be a bit of a pain.

Thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that you felt like a witness. That is high praise indeed. Honestly, this is one of the reasons why I wanted to write this particular story in first person. It really gives an immediate feel which I love. I'm glad that the details worked. It can be quite difficult to weave in details to say something without actually saying it outright, but it's one I enjoy doing. Glad you were able to pick up the ending by the little details strewn throughout the story.

Let me tell you, it was a pain to come up with a name for this story. I think I went through about 20, but with the help of my prereader, we settled on this one. Honestly, this name is so right for the story. Glad you liked it!

Thank you for your words. They mean a lot. If I feel inspired and that I can do this story justice, I may end up writing a sequel in the future. We shall see.

I think you did great in your review, and I appreciate what you had to say. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and to write a little review for it! :twilightsmile:

Thank you for reading!

Admittedly though, It was sometimes a little hard to follow, how it skipped in time with no separation. Overall it was good, just work on making sure its obvious that time has passed.

This needs a sequel! I really want to know what happens.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll get the right idea.

I must say. I haven’t enjoyed a story like this for a long time. But I also have a complaint. Thanks to you, I missed my bus stop.

Any way. You said the ending is open. But that bothers me in the way that I can think of too many things to fill the ending. I would really appreciate a continuation.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story! Oh, no! This is a first. I'm sorry you missed your bus stop because you were reading my story. I do hope it didn't take too long to get back to where you wanted to be.

Indeed it is. There are several ways the story could turn from this point. I don't usually do sequels. However, I'm never against them if a proper and satisfying addition enters my mind. Should inspiration hit, we may just end up seeing what happens next.

Thank you for reading!

It was fine. I got off at the next stop.
And, no, It was my pleasure to read!

Can you make a sequel? This is just amazing and I wanna see what happened to her, you know all that fluffy friends stuff. Pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseeeeee :heart:

There's always the possibility if I think of a proper continuance. Thank you for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :twilightsmile:

Yeah without some kind of continuation, the story kind of falls flat for me.

10522716

Sorry to hear that. Doubt I'll write a continuation as I told the story I wanted to tell and the "who was the person" and "what happens next" wasn't relevant to that. And since I only believe in sequels if there's a worthwhile addition to the story the chances are slim unless I get particularly inspired. Hope you're able to find a story you connect with better!

you wrote this so well

edit: rereading it another time, i picked up on a few foreshadowing moments that really screamed Rainbow's silent plea
one of them was when she wanted the flowers thrown out, my guess was that they were from the person she met
IDK it's just so satisfying to see such a well written story <3

This is very well written. I would love a sequel, but that's ok if you don't want to write it. Actually, would you mind if I wrote an (un)official sequel to this?

Thank you very much! I wouldn't mind at all. Just mention it's unofficial and include a link back to the original. Also please feel free to send me a link to the story when you finish it. I'd love to read it!
