A short one-shot to get me back into writing.
Big Macintosh is known as a strong, dependable, mostly-silent pony. Little is there that he's seen doing that doesn't connect back to the farm some way. But how is it that he spends his one-day-a-year that is special, his birthday? Big Pinkie-Pie style bonanza's, or barely anything at all, just another day on the farm?
Edit! So, general consensus says that Big Macs Day Off should be longer, so longer it shall be! Should it be changed to his Week Off, then?
Chapters (1)
Hm, I wrote a story with the EXACT same title. I think it's safe to say we both think differently. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/91992/big-macs-big-day
More Mac stories please.
Good job on this one. Does this mean some PinkieMac from you in the future? How bout some MacDash? Both are good.
I loved it!^^
Romance tag should be taken off as there was no real romance. If you make a sequel later, however, where Pinkie blatantly tells the oblivious red stallion that she "likes" him, then you can tag it with romance.
As the last guy said, the romance tag should be taken off. One small proofreading issue: "of n airship" "n" should be "an". Liked the story, certainly felt bad for Big Mac what with RD and all.
Feels like a prologue to me, a basis of things to come- Should you decide not to make this a one shot. Nice as a start, but as a one shot this feels a bit...
Not sure, but there is a lot to expand upon. A big birthday party, a romance budding, and all other things.
I for one would love to see this story continued.

Agreed I really feel you left a lot of questions unanswered that would make for good future chapters. In fact this story makes for a better prologue than a one shot. Not enough really happened for me to feel that this is a complete story of any sort it really feels like a chapter to a greater story and the start of one. I think you have great potential with this oblivious Mac and one sided Pinkie affair.
2380498 What're you talking about, man! They're totally similar! ...Well, they have the same characters! ...ok, a couple of the same characters... alright, fine, you win this round!
2380897 Well, people seem to want this fic continued, so we'll just have to see, won't we?
2381506 Umm... I'm just gonna go and blame either my spellchecker on that one, or the fact that I started writing this at midnight and finished at 5am. Both are totally legit excuses, right?
2381950 2382678 2382719 Since this had a waaaay better reception than I'd originally thought it would, and quite a few people seem to want it continued then... *Poof!* From complete to incomplete! Just... don't expect anything too soon, I'm out of town for a while.
Thanks to all you crazy people who like this story!
Continue the fic!!!! Yeah!!!!
I'm happy to see you have decided to continue the story! This is a well written story and made me want more, now i'm not sure if your goin this way buuut....pinkiemac? Anywhoo can't wait for more!
Not bad but it needs something maybe a little more Pinkie Pie
That part about Mac's crush on Rainbow Dash and the subsequent disaster with Flitter was WAY to big a chunk of drama to drop in a few paragraphs of Big Mac reminiscing quietly to himself. It's far more interesting than anything that actually happened in the story, and it doesn't seem to be connected at all with anything that's actually going on.
This story probably should have been about that, rather than Big Mac doing some errands on his day off.
