Sequels1

T

It's not every day that a person in the middle of war gets his few moments of respite, but for a veteran blood knight, he gets more than a few moments.

Gai'vahros has had his fair share of experiences when it came to going to other lands and even other worlds, but when he's thrown from the war-torn continents of Azeroth to the happy, peace-loving land of Equestria with no way back, he knows that he'll have to learn to adapt to this place as best as he can or die trying -- and no amount of bubble-hearthing will save him.

This is off to a good start. Tough I'm not one for WoW, my memories of it are helpful enough to get me through this. Keep it up!:rainbowkiss:

Oh, and:

"I'm glad you came as soon as you could.

2220500 Ah, thank ya Arbit. I hope you enjoy the rest of the chapters ^^

A good story so far, and I loathe taking time away from reading it to post corrections, but...

"Hey, I ain't any-pony's master," Spike said in retaliation to what was seemingly an offensive notion. "I just do think for her because... well, she's my friend. One of my best friends."

I think you meant something along the lines of no pony is his master, and think should probably be things.

Other than those lines, you did an exemplary job so far. Grammar is spot on, and the story is flowing well.

2220571 Ah, thank you for pointing that out! I don't have a great attention span so I find it difficult to proof-read these things. I'm glad you were able to pick that up. Again, thanks for the positivism ^^

One thing that kind of threw me off on this chapter (sorry if I comment too much, by the way).
1.

These pony folk did not look upon him as a monster, but as a figure of glamour, many of them recognizing the silks and satins that were prominent in Rarity's tailoring.

The change in the crowd seems... abrupt. It may be the pace at which I read, or I may be reading into this too much. I just get a mental image of ponies stopping in amazement/approval at his fashion sense, when they were ignoring it entirely the first time.

2220823 Oh it's perfectly fine, I'm glad that someone is kinda proofreading my stuff and leaving feedback. The pacing is off, but it was essentially a shitck in showing praise by association, in this case with Rarity. But as the rest of the paragraph explains, they're more or less seeing his clothes and not him, a subtle message that some people - or ponies - only see you for your looks and not for who you are. It's very abrupt but I was having a hard time trying to word it in a better way.

2221023 I know how hard it is phrasing things sometimes. I can see where you're coming from, and I see now what I missed then. I'm happy to help, even if I don't always get less obvious elements.

Bwaha, His name is gay? Oh I love this already. :derpytongue2:

2220823 i think its because of the improvements rarity did with his armor

it is in essence a world of warcraft... i see what you did there.:trollestia:

why always the magic carpets! hes not a tailor! he cant use one! lol

2231905 Haha, he's just astounded that Rarity can't make such a simple design ^^

of course.... lady rainbow dash:trollestia:

"Unfortunately, we don't have an ace attorney to work out that contradiction"
SLAM!!! OBJECTION! this is a key piece of information that we must investigate further. we cant just overlook this detail!
lol

heh half expected him to use repentance on her to help her sleep.

no gai your a blood elf not a forsaken lol silly paladin.:derpytongue2:

the interaction between characters is wat keeps me reading YAY :pinkiehappy:

I'm so glad that everyone is finding this an enjoyable read as much as I do writing it :twilightsmile: just a bit disappoint that someone changed their votes from a thumbs up to a thumbs down... :pinkiesad2:

don't forget pixie dust!
sorry couldn't resist.

Huh. It's not often anyone portrays an argent gruntling as... well, anything. +1 to you, sir.

My reaction to Fluttershy calling him a hedgehog
mylittlefacewhen.com/f/2143/
Rule of funny still applies, but... >nitpicking

Inb4 glorious camping shenanigans. Keep up the great work!

2242506 Yah, was trying to keep up the running gag about how everyone thinks he's this huge hedgehog monster. Probably could handles it better :derpyderp1:

Glad you're enjoying it, though :twilightsmile:

"… Lady Twilight… help me… it's like she's staring into my soul…" this line here made my day thank you:pinkiehappy:

2242679 Hopefully Pinkie Pie will continue to do so :pinkiehappy:

I'm going to say it once more. SO. MANY. WOW. CROSSOVERS.

2257151 ... there are? I only found four others over at Fanfiction :ajbemused:

>> Shin Guyviroth (Tablet makes me unable to reply directly, sorry.)
I meant here on FiM fiction. Recently about half a dozen crossovers (Including my own) have popped up. On even involves Maeiev, oddly enough.

2257188 fair enough. Is this the reason for the downvote? I assume it was you who cast the downvote?

>>Shin Guyviroth
Nope, wasn't me. I read the prologue, but didn't delve too much farther in. I usually just read stuff with Luna in it (As Luna is best pony), but I still gave it a like.

Never played Wow, but I have a large enough imagination and love for all things fantasy that I can probably read a Wow fanfiction beginning to end and still know what was going on. This has promise, but I would recommend writing longer chapters, I know from personal experience that the readers LOVE long chapters. Not 20,000+ worded chapters, but like an average of 4,000 words per chapter. It takes some time. Hell, when I first started I only wrote no more than 2,000 words a chapter. Nowadays I can write 6,000 if I push myself.

Anyway, try finding a proofreader to help smooth out some of the rough bits and polish up the good bits into shiny, great ones. Then this story will have a lot more recognition on just smoothness alone.

2257580 Makes me glad to have experienced writers such as yourself giving me critique :twilightsmile:

I could definitely push more than 3k words, but I've been holding back just in case people find them a bit long-winded.

I don't really get proofreaders to look over my chapters cuz, well, I don't wanna be a hassle to anyone. But, thanks for the encouragement :pinkiehappy:

2258188 I am by NO means an experienced writer, but thanks for the compliment!:pinkiesmile:

As for the proofreader thing, if you have find someone that loves writing as much as you do, then it won't be a hassle at all.

i wonder if the ponies will be like Hey why is there a snake attachesto your body???:rainbowwild:

2258429 I'm thinking more along the lines of "Uh... is that supposed to be there?" :twilightsheepish:

Hm. Alright, let's put it on Read Later for now. Have to clear out that list soon..

2261487 Hope you enjoy reading what you can :twilightsmile:

So he's a paladin, lol sorry the whole blood knight was confusing me but cool

2264591 Aye, except not. Blood Knight's are Blood Elf knights who, now, use the powers of the Sunwell to emulate paladin abilities. Strictly speaking, Paladins are warrior who follow the Holy Light.

But yeah, he's effectively a paladin :pinkiesmile:
