There's probably a reason Snails never gets attention.
ReplyDeleteAw, see, now I feel bad about disliking Snails. Confound this ponies, they drive me to give annoying characters second chances. Seriously, great story. Didn't break my heart like some other sad fics, but tugged at its strings enough to make it count.
ReplyDeleteGave it 3/5, but that's bound to change. I'd like to see more interaction with others, instead of the monologue you had here. It would, however, make a good intro to something more.
ReplyDeleteDouble-spacing is a nice change compared to the rest of the fics here.
Don't give up, you have real potential.
>never gets attention
ReplyDelete>has that crazy 7-part epic
This fic has turned Snails from an annoyance to an awkward but alright colt for me so far. Keep it up.

I always assumed Snip's talent was hair stlying and snail's was Gardening.
ReplyDeleteActually, this does beg the question of what Snips' talent is.
ReplyDeleteThis story is short, sweet, and beautifully written. It's a new take on a rather annyoing character. I don't know how to star things but I'd give it a 5/5!
ReplyDeleteFound the starring system. Whoop.

ReplyDeleteGod I'm the same way.
... I'll try reading this later. I still can't be bothered about snips/snails.
Y'know.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who names their kid Snails in the first place, and then is surprised they end up with something snail related.
I'm not usually one to say this, but...Aww...
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I feel bad for Snails in this one. His only real friends - Snips is something of a friend, but obviously not his ideal pal - killed by his parents, who don't know any better.
Great work on the fic - I caught no clear spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc. I'll give it a 5/5 - you gave a character who was previously given parts of one episode an entire spotlight and clued us in on what you think is how he lives his life and what his cutie mark represents.
This is better than it has a right to be. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteWow, you made me like Snails. This was a really nice fic, thanks :3
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteseriously that's all I have to say about this...
SO SO SAD.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it.
This one was as sad as bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI DEMAND HE GETS ONE OF THOSE GIANT SNAIL THINGIES AS A PET! And that it steps on his parents. Why yes I am immature.

ReplyDeleteI have to believe that with some of them, they got new names to match their marks. If Applebloom found her talent turned out to be making and using explosives people would start calling her Appleboom.
