Once a writer, but now gone. You might see him again one day, though...

Starswirl the Bearded created many spells in his day, but one went completely undiscovered until recently. Spell 63, an unknown spell that apparently caused Starswirl to disappear. Now a princess, Twilight Sparkle takes on the challenge of figuring it out. But this spell is much more complicated than the one that switched the cutie marks of her friends... This one takes her to an entirely different world!

I'm liking this idea, have a like.

I haven't had a chance to read this yet, but that is some solid alliteration in the title. It's downright clever. You can have my upvote on account of the title alone, and this is going to my read-later list.

Has promise. Can't wait to see how this does things differently.

I love this, I can't wait for more!

This is kind of rushed. It has a lot of potential, though.

Wow. I had no idea this particular story would be so well received. Thank you all. :yay:

I loled at the TF2 reference, good story and hope you update soon!

I was hoping for more but I guess this is fine

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, the ideas and the potential in it are pretty great. For one thing, I was rather glad that Solar Flare kept messing things up for Twilight and dashed our expectations at least more than once. On the other though, this is really short for the kind of ambition it has. Things happen so fast it's hard to appreciate them before we go on to something else.

2566836 Well, regarding the other hoof, this is a prologue, but you're right. I do have a tendency to move my fics too fast. (Have you even read The Slender?:unsuresweetie:) I'm always open for constructive criticism, so thank you. :pinkiehappy:

This was great, more to come

this is a prologue

If this really is the prologue to some larger series, it might be a good idea to make that clear in the description. That way, readers left wondering about any unresolved issues in this story will know they will have their answers. It would also make this story more appealing to those users who might otherwise pass this by in their browsing.

Using myself as an example, I didn't think it appeared nearly as long as the premise warranted for a stand-alone piece, so I was going to skip it. When I came across your statement while reading through the comments, though, I became a bit more interested. Now, depending on if/when the rest comes out and the direction it goes, I may end up reading this after all.

I realize I'm just one member of this community and can only speak for myself; but I assure you, there are others out there with similar mentalities. That one addition to your summary could make quite the difference.:twilightsmile:

2585929 Okay, thanks. I'll have the rest of the series out soon, so go ahead and keep watching. :applejackunsure:

Aww damn, I was hoping for a next chapter. I read this fic when it came out... Sorry I read, I just had to, it was a good fiction too...

3107322 The sequel is actually in the works right now. In the sequel, Twilight will have to help Dusk Shine and the others defeat Eris, the female Discord. However, it won't be as easy as Twilight assumes, similarly to what happened with Solar Flare. I'm actually not exactly sure how yet, though, so it might take a while to post. :facehoof:
3116436 Thanks.

Annoying and disruptive author's notes, terrible jokes and puns, pointless name changes (why Caramel? Applejack's name shouldn't have changed. And Equestrion?), ruining the big reveal within literally a single chapter by having all the ponies have powers they shouldn't have (hello Alicorn world observation powers that make absolutely no sense and which are solely used as a plot hole), and references that aren't funny and come out of nowhere (I just stopped reading at the random TF2 reference and the intrusive author's note right after).

It's an interesting idea, and your writing for the most part isn't that bad (spelling and grammar doesn't seem that bad), but the execution is just poor. Especially the pacing.

3380140 Well, I suppose criticism is necessary for any and all stories. Thanks, I guess. :unsuresweetie:

How does he know these things??

Also isn't it Artemis not Artimus??
