TET: "Paper tigers" By MidnightDancer [ MLP fanfic readings ] (Sadfic) Paper tigers a sadfic written by Midnight dancer Description As ruler herself many ponies ask this question. Why does Princess Celestia constantly send Twilight and her friends to save the world? Shouldn't she be able to? After all she is intended to rule to help defend Equestria from its threats which she'd done in the past. However, now it's all left for Twilight and her friends to handle it. Why? Link to fic https://www.fimfiction.net/story/1375... Link to MidnightDancer's profile https://www.fimfiction.net/user/Midni... Review Now this story is based on the prime ruler herself, Celestia. The author had a unique way writing this story specifically with this rulers perspective against moral ponies. This is relevant in the proposal scene with stuffed shirt and his accusations to spending bits in the right ways. This critical incident there revealed Celestia’s acts towards these ponies, and it’s clearly seen in the story with the conversation with twilight as well. The ending was well thought, it definitely ended it well and wrapped the story up, if it didn’t have any plot holes… The story felt like it was missing something, something vital to plot itself. Now do remember the plot is the sequence of events in a story and for this case the author needed to fill in the “middle” part. Yes indeed the beginning and end was good, but the middle felt weak and another event could have been placed to help accelerate the story more. The reader can know its characters more since it feels more like a short story that can contain a great ending if it has a good middle. My suggestion to the author is to add another event between stuffed shirt and twilight, maybe Celestia experiences something, another conflict or leaves her palace, do something for the middle . Working on the middle can definitely cause tone to rise, which is disappointing here. According to the official source this is a sadfic, but strongly it isn’t. The story just felt more of the “drama genre” the to the “sad” genre, this also recently happened on another fic we read “I spoke to Ms. Smarty Pants today” where comedy was more implemented than darkness. What I can say is this sadfic's tone isn’t as decent at all the way you look at it, the only the tone you get is from twilight , which the fic is focused on Celestia which is another flaw. Now this author's writing has the potential to write other genres than sad, my suggestion is to work on writing sadfics so you can present a good atmosphere to the reader. Overall, this writing has potential, but can be greatly improved. As always I definitely enjoyed reading this fic to all of you. Celestia may be a princess, but even she had to do something to save her people.. Right? Regardless of letting Twilight handle it to learn something about friendship she shouldn't for the most just stand there and watch.
