A while ago, I found a Zecora fic called The Striped Pony, which was quite clever and well-thought-out, but had a lot of language issues. It turned out the author was a non-native speaker, and I volunteered to edit the story for him. The edits are now complete and posted.

Inspired by a suggestion from Vates Despero, I changed a lot of my ideas for what I would do for chapter 5. This is a brief, unedited excerpt in which Fluttershy is suddenly reminded of her mother:
