Nice to see another story from you.

I feel like I'm gonna enjoy this a lot!

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, it'll still be a few hours before I can read this, but I just wanted to show my appreciation now.

And read! I enjoyed it, so thanks again. Sorry for suggesting some fairly obscure ponies (though they at least have prominent speaking roles in their episode), but I thought they were fun and felt they were underused in fanfics. Focusing on their dancing goals is something I wouldn't have thought to do. I liked how much detail you went into the process of becoming a high level dancer, and showing how there are several paths ahead of them. The original characters you included worked pretty well.

The descriptions of the city and the dancing were good, and I could imagine exactly what was happening.

Oh, and I realized only after I got my own assignment that I should have specified in my request that I didn't want shipping for this pair. So I'm happy about the fact that you didn't go for shipping.

I'll say -- they don't even have their own character tags on Fimfiction!

When I signed up for Jinglemas, I was terrified of being assigned characters that I wouldn't know what to do with (I could just imagine drawing somebody who wanted a story about, say, Capper and Petunia Petals, followed by my brain freezing up). I was relieved when I got these two -- if left to my own devices, I never would have written a story about them, but they had enough presence in their episode that I could imagine what they would enjoy doing at Hearth's Warming time.

Oh, and I realized only after I got my own assignment that I should have specified in my request that I didn't want shipping for this pair. So I'm happy about the fact that you didn't go for shipping.

I generally like to stay true to how characters are depicted in canon, so I didn't even think about shipping them. It seemed pretty clear that they were platonic friends with a shared interest.

Merry Jinglemas!
