    4. Is it bad that the first thing that entered my mind when I saw "unity" was that plot point from Fallout: Equestria?

      I haven't read that story, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

    6. I would liek to mention that I feel awful that I only scanned this once and didn't say anything.

      My only problem I have with it is that it's lots of dialog. Which makes it seem rushed. I do like the premise though.

    7. Like others have said it feels rushed.

      Might want to break it up into scenes and try to write more into the characters.

      Please don't take criticism badly though WRITING IS HARD. Keep going!

    8. Well, you already know what I think, but I'll say it again. Awesome! Can't wait for part 2!

      And personally, I don't see it as being rushed. I'll look over it again, though, see if there's anything I could recommend.

    9. This story is completely different from the other one really, though I'm guessing that it's likely far more than "something inside her snapped" type of deal...

    10. All righty, people, I want this story to be the best it can be, so...

      What can I do to improve this story? What is it lacking that it gets only 3 stars? The only way I'll get better is if I know what I'm doing wrong.

      Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

      Bingo. I plan on revealing just what exactly happened fairly soon, I hope.

      I can't help but feel part of the reason I'm getting low ratings is because everyone is glossing over this as a copy of that other story. There can be many ways to do a Tyrant Celestia story, people.

    12. I like that Oatmeal character of yours; I hope you have a significant role for her. :D

      Anyway, I must agree with the others it was rushed, but the plot is worth attention. This reminds me of the Corona Blaze fic here; you should check it.

      Keep it up, TLP!

      Recheck your grammar. I spotted a few errors, but your use of the colon is very good in some places.

      You could have been thorough with the beginning of chapter one. Starting off with 'Twilight Sparkle was worried' is too plain. Try to elaborate settings as well as you can, though I'm not saying your describing situations is bad. This was an example of rushing by the way.

      I hope this helps.

    14. I'm having a good time following the similarities and differences between this story and my own Corona Blaze fic. It's interesting so far, and I plan to keep an eye out for ideas to steal :)

      I'm not really sure why you started off with a framing story. Usually I see those used either to provide commentary on the story or to cover for a slow opening, but it's not doing either of those things here. As is, the prologue slows down the story by starting it off in a relatively relaxed setting instead of the more exciting events of chapter 1.

      Yup, yup, your fic is looking good, as well. Just because we're writing about something similar, doesn't mean we can't like the other's story.

      As for the frame story, I have it because it begins things with an air of mystery: Why is Twilight here, wherever "here" is? Why are her friends injured? Why was Celestia's troops chasing them? Also, I plan on doing more with the frame story in future chapters.
