enjoyable, with good descriptive writing.

Not much to say, other than it was short, sweet and disarmingly funny!

Twas adorable. Very nice

:D

You know about the phase 'unicorn in the ivory tower'!!

Haha, wow, I've seriously never heard anyone else use that before!

Adorable, well written, you have my stars! I hope this gets a ton of attention.:twilightsmile:

*wishes for this story to be expanded upon*

Thanks :twilightsmile: However, honestly, I'm not quite sure what I could do with it ^^; The play only gave us so much to go on!

>>Bookish Delight

well, that's the beauty isn't it ? you have sort of a baseline for the ponies they role play aswell as twilight and rarity themselves (insert hijinks involving pinkie confusing them for their stage names here) :twilightsheepish:

fact of the matter is, there's so much you can do with it (and sofar i'm loving all of your stories) so i'm sure you'll make something great out of it :twilightsmile:

also, how do you reply with the names like that... it gets all weird when i try it :twilightangry2:

99410

I just press the "Reply" button next to your post.

Well, flattery will get you most places. :ajsmug: I'll keep it in mind, but I absolutely can't make any promises. :twilightsmile:

101487 when i press reply it shows up as numbers for some reason >.>

anyhow! i know, no promises that's always the case :raritywink: but the best part about this is where the two of them fall out of character for a bit... now that i think about it.... shipping ? i like shipping.... :twilightblush:

:pinkiesmile: hi! When did you become method actors?:pinkiesmile:99409

106716 eh ? sorry you have me confused I'm afraid :twilightsheepish:

103932
It shows up as numbers in the comment box, but when you actually make your post the numbers turn into a name.

Are you sure that this is'ent romance because it sure looks like it. Put it with that tag and I woulden't be able to tell the diffrence. In fact, a lot of your stories seem to be like that. Just saying.

I try to write my pieces so that those without ship-glasses can still enjoy them for what they are, and those with their ship-glasses on can do the same if they so wish.

:scootangel:

111494 Well played, Bookish. Well played.:raritywink:

See, in my headcanon, all 3 leaders were male and all 3 retainers were actually their mates. Which partially explains why Equestria is a matriarchy now, because it was the females that saved them all.

...so Platinum would be a male Princess? Well, there's a concept unlikely to be explored by the show. :pinkiehappy:

Wonderful little bit of ad-libbing, yes.

Cunning, sly Rarity. :twilightblush:

"the two shared the warmest of cuddles under the stars." If you know what I mean.:trixieshiftright:

Method acting is best acting!

Wow, is this one old. I don't even recall when this episode aired -- though I'm assuming it was sometime around Christmas 2012. If you wrote this around that time, then I can safely state that your writing has evolved tremendously since then, if Matters of Principal is any indication.

I know you love your fluff pieces, Bookie, and I gotta admit that this one was cute, but overall it feels much too rushed. I like how you're able to just get to the point, and I love how open-ended you leave your narrative -- so your strengths are still present... they just feel thinned. Like mixing a few ounces of strong coffee with a gallon of water.

Your beige prose and implications have great chemistry, but as with all forms of chemistry, balance is everything. This story is almost completely just lines of dialogue, as if everything that this story can say is something that needs to be said aloud. There's a lack of things like body language and narrative metaphor-- of which I count maybe one or two instances of. There isn't much that colors the writing in this story and the implications aren't strong enough to hold it together for me.

With that said, it's good that you kept this is as short as it is. With such an open-ended ending, as well as a brisk pace (that might be too brisk), any longer and the story would have clearly worn out its welcome. I liked the story -- and the thought that Twilight and Rarity are writing historical yuri fanfiction is hilarious, mind you -- but it's weak compared to some of your recent work.

No worries, dude -- appreciate your honestly! I in fact take it as a compliment. :raritywink:

Hearth's Warming Eve did something to me and I indeed wrote this one in a rush soon after that episode first aired (so yeah, this is a late 2011 fic -- btw I'm pretty sure the publication dates can be found near the top of the page :O) just to make sure I didn't lost the idea. I've wanted to redo this very concept for ages now but I don't have the right idea yet. You're right that a lot of the touches I have in my later fics just aren't here, but I'm glad you pointed them out 'cause when one gets too close to their story, they really lose track!

Either way, a rushjob fic by me two years ago is vastly different to a rushjob fic by me today and y'know, I thnk I'm okay with that. :pinkiesmile: Thanks for the review!

No wonder I missed all these stories from you. I somehow forgot to add you to follow all these years. x_x Now I have to dig through to see if there's anymore favorite ships I've missed out on!

That breakaway scene that broke Twilight out of character to show it was just a play. All my love with how you delivered that immersion break. "Oh, it's a play!" Simply loved it. xD

Heh, well, thanks. :twilightsmile: I do hope you continue to enjoy yourself!

I have a romance armada that could take down anyone here but rarely do I show that hand. Today, however, will count as "rarely". ~_^

cuddles

So that's what they're calling it these days. :V

Well, if by "these days" you mean seven years ago.

Season 2 was a simpler time. Almost too simple. :pinkiehappy:

Yea, verily! I hereby pontificate that this was indeed, a cute story. HNNNNGETH!

This was some cute method acting.

I was gonna make a crack about whether or not this counted as a RariTwi and then the story beat me to it. :duck:

Coming up short on things to say about this one. It's cute, but also the most straightforwardly fluffy story in the catalogue so far. There's the brief overture towards character depth, but it comes and goes for the sake of the twist. Fun to look for subtext after the fact, though. Twilight being humble to a fault was still very much an ongoing thing that might be on Rarity's mind, and Clover's monologue to Platinum feels like Twilight's unconsciously channeling things Celestia's said to her.

Twilight advocates for the monarchy off the cuff because she's too close to the crown to imagine a world not led by a princess
