Appleoosa was created by the sweat of earth pony brows, stubbornness and more than a few bits. Now that Braeburn’s seen his dream come true, the investors have sent a pony representing their interests.

Turns out, Appleoosa ain’t the money maker they were looking for and they've come to Braeburn with an ultimatum: pay back their investment or lose the town he helped work so hard to build.

So this is the Braeburn fic you've been working on? :ajsmug:

I'd tell you that I'm going to read this ASAP, but I have a wicked backlog of unread updates and the curse of a fanfic of my own that needs updating... :ajsleepy:

So I'll add this to my favourites and read it... um... some time... :unsuresweetie:

I'm sorry! :raritycry:

Little Strongheart... The world's most shameless stalker. :rainbowwild: (Well, it is Braeburn, so I can't really blame her) And Bloomberg has f***ing HUGE apples! The size of a filly's head? :pinkiegasp:

All in all, a very well written piece so far. Hasn't really got into the action yet, but I prefer slow, deliberate pacing anyway. I'm betting Applebloom and Babs play a big part in how this all turns out. It'll be interesting to see how Braeburn handles the business of tourism.

I can hardly believe that I'm the only commenter so far. You deserve so much more. :pinkiesad2: *Hugs*

Off to a good start! Curious to see how the buffalo will react to this idea. Fury at trivializing their ancient tradition, or acceptance of a neighbors plea for help?
Can't wait!:pinkiehappy:

Faved (and followed, not sure how I wasn't following already) once I saw who the author is, I will definitely be giving this a read.

Nice! I love the spin on the "save the farm" plot, and extra points for including Babs.

Some excellent world building going on here. Im writing my own Appleloosa story now and it always helps to see how others explore the same world.

Liked, favorited, looking forward to the next one!

I wrote this months ago. It only now just went through EqD's prereaders to be posted on the front page.

As for Unmarked, I dunno. Can't get up the motivation to write it. It'll be finished eventfully, but I have no time table to give you. If you want I can tell you how it ends.

tis not the destination man its the journey!

Alright, I guess I'll release another chapter now.

"It'll warm up soon enough, cousin," Braeburn smiled widely.

"Smiled" isn't a dialog tag.

"Just scared," Bareburn replied, setting down the bag.

Who?

Never trust a pony with a monocle.

Awww, I liked Morton, please don't make him evil:fluttercry: Awesome fic, I'm really enjoying the characterization of Brae and Strongheart.:pinkiehappy:

Why is this still showing up in my unread favorites list? I already read all the published chapter.:applejackconfused:

2836767

Good question. I haven't done anything to it recently. Maybe it's a bug with knighty?

Hmn, looks like it's hard to take the Apple out of the orchard. I love the imagery of Brae sleeping beneath Bloomberg. It just feels right.

Tee hee, oh you.

And don't worry, the next chapter is already longer than this one.

“I cannot wait to blow up the sky,” Sparkler said solemnly, her first words since she’d arrived.
“That’s...” really scary, he thought. “... nice.”

Yes, yes it is really scary.

Ehehehe, very cute. small nitpick though...ferrets aren't weasels. They're n the same family though:twilightsmile::twistnerd:

3052544

You are correct! I have a ferret and he was tickling my toes at the time of writing, so I must have done it subconsciously.

Thanks for the catch.

3052604 you have my undying envy. Pics please? :duck::rainbowkiss: (There needs to be a better pony begging emote XD)

Ah man, poor Brae.

Ruefully, he stood and turned back to the lights of the festival.
He was just in time to watch part of the orchard explode.

Hmn, the actual reason that the Flim Flams were at the festival? Or maybe just the scary fireworks pony?

3060777

There's only one Flim Flam in the festival and that Flim Flam is Flimity Flim Flam, father of the Flim Flams, Flim Flim Flam and Flam Flim Flam.

Capisce?

Somepony cleared their throat at the door. “Funny thing about disaster, though...”

It brings in a lot of insurance money

So... how long has it been since this got an update? Nine months?

I've mostly moved on from fan fiction, in general, but I'll finish it sometime.
