After all of the unintentional similarities everyone here (akiraacecombat especially) keeps finding, that doesn't make me feel any better.
Well, if the readers are finding similarities, I'm certain that it's because you and I just view Trixie as a character in a very similar way;

Spoiler Text (highlight text with cursor to reveal):

Your detailing of how you're planning on handling Trixie's illeism is nearly spot-on to what I have in mind when writing her. This is a bit of a subtle character detail that's been present for a few chapters now, but I spaced it a little in case you don't want to read the spoiler and find out for yourself:





in TBoTS, there's a specific point where Trixie outright stopped referring to herself as 'Great and Powerful' in speech for the rest of the following chapters.

Well, because I'm insane, I'm going to write up a fan-fic of my own.

WHILE TYING IT INTO MY RACE STORY.

Holy crap, Equestria will not be the same after the Armageddon Van.

Oh dear.
Everyone prepare yourselves.

On a unrelated note I am going to Italy for the next 3 days and when I come back I will be suffering from pony withdrawal. Have many many ponies ready.

This is extremely long winded, and has not gotten into MLP yet despite two pages. I have now worked the Armageddon Van into a key plot point, and I feel I should mention I've gotten the crazy idea that the Armageddon Van is liable to be a new Element of Harmony.

I will leave you guys off with the sentence where I've stopped writing for now:

"David had time to shed a single tear, before his world became rainbows and a single butterfly."

^Welcome the the herd Chariots0fFire!

I agree that July 4th can't come soon enough, we only have to wait one week until MLP arrives on TV in the UK.

Yeah, that's why I'm so excited! Been waiting for MLP:FiM on British shores for soooo long! Also, something tells me the TESCO self-service till will be getting used for some 'blind-bag' buying when they arrive in the UK.

I asked someone who, *gasp* doesn't like Trixie (I know, right?) what he thought about it, specifically whether they thought the ending was planted in the "Trying Too Hard" section (because I had been worried about that ever since I wrote it). He said it sorta was, and explained why (and I agree with his explanation), so I'm going to have to figure out what to do with that.



Back to the writing cave I go!

But before I go, have this:

I absolutely love these things.


Also, I changed the Trollestia and Ponyfied Stuff thumbnails again to a couple of absolutely hilarious ones I found on IMDB today.

That's even better than the one that was written when the first season ended.









Here's what I've put together for my Princess Celestia letter:

Spoiler Text (highlight text with cursor to reveal):

Dear Princess Celestia,

My friends and I all learned an important lesson today: Always think about why somepony may act the way that they do before your judge their actions on first impressions. You just may find that they aren’t so different from yourself; and you may just make a new friend in the process.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle.



What do you think? Because other than checking it again for spelling, with the Princess Celestia letter done I'm basically ready to submit the first chapter.

Looks alright to me, although:

Spoiler Text (highlight text with cursor to reveal):

I think you could add "Sometimes if you actually get to know somepony" just before saying "You just may find that they aren’t so different from yourself". I also think that replacing the word "may" with "might" in that sentence would work better as well because "you just may find" doesn't sound right to me for some reason.

Those are the only alterations I can think of really, unless you're already happy with how it is.
