Spittyfire


T

Every morning Spitfire had a routine. Get little sleep, barely eat, and listen to everything your managers tell you. But she began to realize this isn't right, being thrown around like a toy. She did love her fans, but was the subjugated life of her's worth it? Sick and tired, Spitfire is on the verge of giving up. But once she makes a wish, she is encountered by a strange stallion. Who changes her life and creates the perfect getaway.

Don't be shy to leave a comment and rate please, thank you.

This i going to be good.:rainbowkiss:
I like how everything that can go wrong actually goes wrong but now that the Doctor is here Spit might want her old life back when she goes through what he is going to take her.:trollestia:

I want the next chapter as soon as possible.:pinkiehappy:

Camo Flash out!

New chapters are coming soon. I promise. I plan on having about 20 chapters in total. And I'll probably be finished by early/mid spring.

And another awesome chapter(was there ever any doubt:trixieshiftright:)
I wonder what dangers await Spifire and the Doctor.:rainbowkiss:

I hope the next chapter is up soon the tension is killing me.:raritycry:

Camo Flash out!:scootangel:

Could really picture the scenery, like how you described the villain. You give the doctor a very quirky but caring personality. Hoping for more!

I'll read this. Unique combo of The Doctor and Spitfire. A great change from The Doctor and Ditzy. My personal favorite combo though is The Doctor and Twilight but still this is unique.

Thank you for the response! I'm working really hard on this story and I wish it had more views and such.

Thank you for the comment, and I hope you enjoy! :duck:

Okay, you wanted comments, so here I go.

I like the premise. Spitfire seems like a great companion and I can sense great potential for great adventure. Throw Soarin into the mix for additional awesome and I'm sold.
...but then there's the execution. Narration is all fine, but dialogues... my god, dialogues!

"Never. Never ever bring that up Desert. You know bringing up that up pains me. You know that it wasn't my fault that they died in that tragedy. I'd watch what you say Desert. I will see you next session, I hope you can be a bit more kind to me instead of treating me like dirt."

Who talks like that? Let's get over it line by line.

"Never. Never ever bring that up Desert.

This line demands exclamation mark and at least one comma.

You know bringing up that up pains me.

This line just sounds awful. Say it out loud and tell me you want to hear it in any show.

You know that it wasn't my fault that they died in that tragedy.

Again could use an exclamation mark, but really, I cringed when I read this. This is not a retort you use again "you dissapointed your parents", but against "they died because you suck". Which is not the same thing, at least not in this concept.
Hint: instead of saying it out loud, leave this out of her dialogue and let the narrator fill in the details. They both know it, there's no reason for her to spout the "as you already know..." exposition.

I'd watch what you say Desert.

Same grammar problems.

I will see you next session, I hope you can be a bit more kind to me instead of treating me like dirt."

Excuse me, but wasn't she the one who hired him BECAUSE he's strict and she needs it? Also, this line sounds like you really, REALLY wanted to put drama where it's not needed.

"Spitfire, I didn't know the subject bothered a mare like you so much.

Yeah, she sure looks like somepony who isn't bothered by death of her parents. Also, this guy should never use the word 'subject' in a sentence. Ever. In fact, replace it with "it" altogether.

Heck, it's so tough to get you pumped up that I was at that point."

...which is why I'll remind you of your biggest tragedy. Here, let me also bring up that time your boyfriend wanted to kill you so you stabbed him in the chest in self defense, killing him on the spot.
Seriously, that line is awful.

"And there aren't enough ponies who have sympathy around here!

Again, want sympathy? Then don't hire an ex commander known for harsh language and bloated ego!

"Of course Spitfire, you know I'll always be here for you! I used to be like your ma right? And you used to encourage me to keep going.

Again, whats with all that exposition? Who talks like that?

I could go on with the rest, but honestly I'm too tired to think anymore. Bottom line- the dialogues need A LOT of work. They sound stiff and out of place, thats not how people/ponies talk. I rate it from chapter 1 alone, but I'm not sure I want to keep on going like this. Which is a shame, because everything else is fine.

it's sad when good stories like these become forgotten and never finished :pinkiesad2:
