>I don't want to be so late again, so I'll note that I'm writing this while FS&AJ are still stuck in the Bazaar city
kek, maybe someone else will have something to say about the adventure this week
>I don't think it could majorly impact my opinion of the story. I think it's good. Nothing about it is too amazing, but if you put it on your "top 20 2012 fics" list, I wouldn't judge you too harshly.
I don't have an actual list, but it undoubtedly made it on the back of the 3 ponyville chapters alone. I have a feeling the fic peaked in those chapters, but I don't even think that's a bad thing because I liked them so much.
>There are few things that I'd call impressive or amazing here, but as far as "pony" adventures go, all parts of this fic are at least fine—and maybe you could call that remarkable, especially for 2012.
Yeah. The adventure is... tame, I guess. Doesn't exactly stand out but it is what it is, and that is better than a decent amount of other 2012 stuff.
>Someone said that the dialogue is very good, and yes, I think I'd agree with that
>On that note, I liked the drama in the second batch of the Ponyville chapters quite a lot more than the adventure
Crazy that somehow the AJShy adventure became interludes for the Ponyville chapters, but I agree completely
>There is one eyebrow-raising thing regarding the pacing of the fic
Didn't think about it till this. I see 2 Adventure chapters which are certainly the M4's excursion, then 2 more Ponyville chapters, which better be some Princess kino + Twilight.
