Description I got a lot to say about this part. I don't even know where to began.

I'm a bit disappointed. I waited so long this part, but it turned out worse than I wanted. Some of the panels look fine, and some of them look horrible! I had serious problems with Dash's expressions. I just didn't get them right, until it was too late. I have too much to say!

At least I learned something. A lot actually, and that's the point of the whole series! I know what I'm doing wrong, and I know how to make things better. There's a few things that I don't get yet, but I just need more time to learn... So you don't need to point out visually "wrong" things. I'm aware of them already.

There's always something you could point out though...

There's probably a tons of grammar mistakes, so please point them out. I'll fix them soon as possible. I ask you to send corrections in note form for me, so there won't be a huge wall of text in comment section. You can point out small things like typos in comments though. And please, remember to tell me why the sentences are wrong. It helps me to improve my English skills.

Enjoy!

Oh, you'll see a lot more awkward dialogue in the future. It's not the easiest thing to learn English at this point of my life.

understandable. but if you knew someone who was fluent in english (preferably if it was their native language) and just get them to rephrase it so it sounded more natural, it would probably be a wise investment. (I'd totally be willing to do it )

I would be up to the challenge of pre-reading your comic. I know how frustrating grammar mistakes can be, being a comic writer myself.

Let me know if I'm chosen or not! Keep up the awesome work. Perseverance is half the battle.

Another volunteer? That's good to hear. It's going to be hard to decide my pre-reader, but I'll let you know when I have made my decision. I'm going to make a journal entry about the whole pre-reader-thing, so I'm probably going to announce the "winner" that way too.

By the way, how many volunteers have you had? Just asking.

But anyways, I think that the style these ponies are drawn makes 'em look kinda silly... in a good way thou'.
And shipping? Uhm... I'm OK with this.

Panel 1: Twilight: The creator promised me a book if I managed
Panel 4: Dash: That means that Lyra and I would have to tolerate it all that time!
Panel 6: For Dash, between if and have, it should say "you" and between get and mane, it should say "your"
Panel 8: Dash's thought bubble doesn't make sense. Maybe have it say "Isn't that a shame?"
Panel 11: Twilight: I thought that washing puke off of other ponys' fur wasn't that exciting?
Panel 16: Twilight: I was just thinking, what if we never get out of here?
Panel 18: Dash: Almost as silly as Twilight last night!
I love the last panel lol xD

TheAntsaBoy94 [2012-12-07 20:12:22 +0000 UTC]

Poor ponies, they`ll never get out of there!

Why is Dash washing Twilight`s fur with "Mane & Tail" shampoo?

Drawing muzzle from the front shouldn`t be that hard. I can`t go to YouTube right now, but I think opening scene of "Read it and Weap it" should show muzzle from the front when pony is looking upwards and the ending of "B.B.B.F.F." shows the entire pony (Twilight) turning 180 degrees. That should help, I guess.

BCRich40 In reply to TheAntsaBoy94 [2012-12-08 08:38:04 +0000 UTC]

It's difficult to explain what I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to draw ponies exactly like in the show anymore. I want them to be more 3D or something like that. I'll try to explain things better in my upcoming journal entry today. I have too much to say about this part.
