Octavia Philharmonica is an Earth Pony who overcame the handicap of not being born with magic, and has become one of the greatest cellists Equestria has ever seen. When she is invited to the Gala, everything seems to lead to her dreams coming true, but by a cruel twist of fate, her perfect day is ruined. Distraught, Octavia can not stop thinking about the incident, bordering on obsession, but could the worst moment of her entire life be the catalyst that eventually culminates into being her best?
OctaVinyl Shipping. This is my very first fanfic, and I have no doubt It will not be very good, but I want to get into writing and I think this will help me get better at it.
I know I've only done two chapters, but Ive been having a hard time finding time to actually continue. This isn't dead. Just sleeping.
The different colors of text is a little jarring for me, but the writing seems solid and i like the story so far. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing where this goes.
1984606 I'm sorry about the text. I try to differentiate who is speaking in case my writing makes it ambiguous sometimes. But I can try it without colored text for next chapter if enough people don't like it.
The colored text was getting to me too. It was very good writing though. Few errors other than not starting a new paragraph when a different character speaks. I will keep an eye on this.

The colored text is not necessarily a bad thing, it's really not and it could just be more that I was reading this on my phone that made it stand out even more. That, and it's also something of a personal taste. That being said, the story was really good and I enjoyed the set up so I can ignore the color text if you decide to continue with it :) Looking forward to the next chapter!
Okay, I think I'm going to be experimenting with a slightly new style. Looking back at my first chapter, while I want this to follow Octavia from her point of view, I felt like I made her a little impersonal from a purely narrative standpoint. I'm going to try to include some inner monologue and her thoughts. Don't know how successful I'll be, but I am hoping it will lead to people feeling a lot more closer to her.
A very nice story begining, can't wait what's next
the colored texts (just the grey ones) were a bit tough to read, but i blame my screen's setting for that
So far so good, I look forward to later chapters.
ah you dropped the colored texts things..
Anyway, really nice chapter, i love how you made them living together
Heroic Vinyl is Best Vinyl Keep going
I think the ending would have been better if Octavia said something like "I might need a hoof around the house for the next couple months," or something like that. Don't rightly know why.
Great chapter. Glad you dropped the colors. I bugged me. Can't wait for more.

Probably because of its double meaning :P. Honestly I don't think it would have worked. I think ending the chapter with a cheesy joke would kind of ruin the mood I was trying to set.

Than you could've just used "need help". Or the cheesy joke as 'Tavi trying to lighten the mood. But your the author. I loved the chapter and can't wait for more.
I am in love with this story series, please keep up the wonderful work
your idea back in chapter one to make the text color coded according to who is speaking was very unique and I would love to see that again. keep up the good work by the way.
