aww that was too cute :) nice job

I'd recommend making more of a separation between that last paragraph where Shining wakes up and the rest of the story. How it currently is, it almost reads like Twilight started talking minutes after birth. Just add another line break and you're good.

That aside, D'AWWWWWWWW!

“Would you like to miss your baby sister?” Um what? :applejackconfused:

Other than that great story. :pinkiehappy:

You don't need to start a new paragraph after every sentence. But other than that:

It seemed a little rushed (just a very little, mind you), but other than that, really good.
**edit**
Oh, this got featured.
I got in before featured again. Sweet.

Some minor grammar and spelling issues, and paragraph placement, and some of the dialogue seems a bit stiff. But other than that, great story! I'm watching for more!

Like somepony said, just a tad bit rushed, but great story! :twilightsmile:

I love it! So much D'awwing from me :rainbowkiss:

Hrm. Interesting. I liked the concept. But, there was a few issues. Grammar and spelling being a few, the other is the fact every sentence was give its own paragraph. Made it seem a tad bit rushed. But, I think people have already said this.

Otherwise good story, I'll give it a thumbs up.

Oh my god... I accidentaly thumbed down this beautiful fanfic... I'M SO SORRY ;___; i loved it i swear...

Great story. But it was pretty rushed, and it was filled with spelling and grammar issues.

Just press like instead and you're forgiven

Alrighty then. I liked it, it was cute. I hate to go all "perfectionist beeyotch" on you here, but...
1. A lot of missed commas and other small errors.
2. The labor process doesn't exactly go that quickly (as far as I know, it's very similar for ponies and humans).
3. Well... It was very cute, but the ending kinda threw me for a whirl.
But other than that, it was very nice. :rainbowkiss:

Despite the weird pacing, and some grammar issues, I liked this little story and it's worthy of a few feels...

IIIIIt's Dashie's one shot fanfiction evaluation time!

THE EVALUATION:

Alright, so there were things that I liked about this fanfic and things that I didn't like. First off, the overall premise of it was pretty good. It was a nice concept and everything. But I feel like this fic was sort of pulled down by all of its minor faults. First off, the scene where Shining's reaction to Twilight changes happens like the snap of a finger. His attitude just changes way too quickly for me to feel anything at that scene. There are also numerous grammar mistakes, (I didn't count, but there were a lot - no offense, I already said that the premise was good!) I didn't see a whole lot of spelling mistakes, if any, and after Twilight and Shining wake up apparently Twilight learned to talk at less than 12 hours old. Also they just kind of fall back asleep afterwards, which is incredibly anticlimactic.

THE VERDICT:

I like the idea for the story, I really do. But what could be a good story is hampered down by all of the little flaws making it only a pretty decent story. That said, I still don't want to downvote it, so...

STALEMATE

...I'm going to leave this one without a downvote or an upvote.

Thanks for reading, and remember - I said I liked the premise! I complimented you! Don't hate me for my evaluation!

-MASH

Please get a pre reader or editor. This story is like water, tasteless and thin. Add some zest!

I thought the Father's name was Midnight, and the Mom's name was Nite Lite? :rainbowhuh:

I really thought this was cute, so many feels, but...

You need to work on your formatting as the current layout is way too cluttered. Your pacing is off, it's not too bad, but it comes off as clunky. Your characterizations are OK, but because of how brief they are they do seem a bit generic. and as many have mentioned, your grammar is well, pretty bad. You need to do a bit more of the "show, don't tell" style of writing and try not to get in such a hurry. So find yourself a pre-reader and work on the aforementioned problems and you'll have a very solid slice of life fic, as well as a good foundation for writing future stories.

Also as a big brother myself, Shining's reaction is pretty close. I was a bit more excited as I already have a twin sister (I'm older than her by a minute), but the hesitation about a new baby melts pretty fast once you hold the newborn. I'd have his parents make Shining hold Twilight, then as she does that new baby stuff have his heart melt.

It changes whoever you ask. I'm a sucker for metallica so I picked Orion

1404517
I agree. Oh and I made the featured. "YYYEEESSS!!!"

1404524
Yeah, I read it before it did and immediately said to myself, "This is gonna get featured."
I WAS RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

A little to much detail for my taste, but still towards Twilight and Shining's part was still very cute.

Did you know that 11 of the people that read this story are drug addict Prostitutes? They had to be if they downvoted this story

I think me heart stopped working...there it goes

Good concept, not bad writing, just lacking in substance really.:fluttershysad:

For instance, it would have worked better if you described things a lot more, as well as take a tad longer for events to chain together. ESPECIALLY when it came to Shining's first look at Twilight, which should have had a lot more buildup and emotion.

Honestly, with a bit more practice you could probably whip out some pretty good stories.:twilightsmile:

I enjoyed this very much. Very much indeed

So much D'aaawww, but not much else.

To be honest, the whole story fell kind of... flat. It's rushing along at break neck speed with a single destination in mind, and it gets there so fast that it left me rather unsatisfied. Not that it's bad, mind you, just shallow.

:heart:SO:heart:MUCH:heart:D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!:heart::heart::heart::heart:

:eeyup: Manly tears were shed.... Very manly tears...

Doubt it.

Looking at the story critically, I can easily see why people would down vote it. It is rushed. It is poorly formatted and would be a massive wall of text if not for the rushed aspect. And, beyond that, lots of grammatical errors, I'm seeing about an average of two errors per three lines. That's pretty bad. Basically, the TWE should have been by already.

Now, as to what can be done to fix it up some, here is some of what I found wrong, grammatically speaking. The briefness, the tell versus show, not touching on those aspects. Feel free to delete this comment after you fix the stuff up. Or if you don't plan to fix it up. At the very least, it should help explain some of the down votes. And fixing the errors will probably help avoid some, as well as maybe turn some non-votes into up votes.

To start, the ones that are repeated over and over, all in conversation. Looking at this one line, since it has all three common errors in it:“Relax honey, you’re doing just fine.” Her husband said as she pushed her.

When you're using something like said, if there is a period before the end quotation mark, you replace it with a comma. Fix that and you have this:
“Relax honey, you’re doing just fine,” Her husband said as she pushed her.

And the said bit is part of the same sentence, so you don't capitalize things you wouldn't ordinarily capitalize. Her isn't something you capitalize unless it starts a sentence and it isn't in this case. So now it should look like this:
“Relax honey, you’re doing just fine,” her husband said as she pushed her.

Next up, when you are addressing someone, like you are here with the honey, you need to separate that with commas. You've got the one after already, but not the one before. Do that and you wind up with:
“Relax, honey, you’re doing just fine,” her husband said as she pushed her.

Those three errors are rampant throughout the story. Not going to point them all out, but now that you know what to look for, you should be able to fix 'em up easily enough.

And now for other stuff:
You should indent paragraphs and/or have an extra return between each one. This would be a huge issue if the story wasn't almost all short lines of dialogue, but should still be fixed.

A unicorn mare was being pushed inside in a wheel chair. - wheelchair.

“Relax honey, you’re doing just fine.” Her husband said as she pushed her. - she should be he.

“Help my wife has gone into labor!” Orion more or less screamed. - you need punctuation after Help, probably an exclamation mark. As is, this could read as "Help my wife!"

“Sorry it’s required.” The mare at the front desk said. - comma after Sorry. And of course the period after required should be a comma and the bold the should be lower case.

Orion finished with the paper and handed them back to her. - Dazzle was the last female mentioned before this sentence. This means Orion is handing the paperwork to Dazzle, not the mare at the front desk.

At that moment, a nurse came and escorted the wheel care
into the operating area. - unnecessary line break after care. Wheel care should be wheelchair. Also, shouldn't they be going to the maternity ward, not the operating area?

Shining just sighed and said “Whatever.” - comma after said.

The nurse that had been pushing the wheel chair brought - wheelchair

She was given a hospital gown to dress into. - As written, the she refers to the nurse. She should be Dazzle.

to take its affect. - should be: to take effect

“Alright I’ll take that as okay. - comma after alright.

She placed her legs onto the pedals of the chair and tried to relax. - what chair? The nurse moved her to a bed prior to this.

“Alright I can see the head, - comma after alright.

Cross said lowering his
hooves. - unnecessary line break after his.

Dazzle yelled as she gave a final push.” - quotation mark after push doesn't belong.

Red Cross picked up a something wrapped in a blanket. - a shouldn't be there.

Orion brought her to Dazzle who took her in her arms. - replace the her after Dazzle with another term, like "the foal" or something. As is, her would refer to Dazzle, not the baby.

“I just knew he love her.” Orion whispered to his wife. - missing a would between he and love. And, of course, the period after her should be a comma.

“and I love you too.” Dazzle said. - and should be capitalized. And the period after too is another of those that should be a comma.


The period in the title shouldn't be there.
