I probably would have bawled my eyes out had I read it in one sitting, but real life kept getting in the way and I had to leave my computer at least twice while reading. Nonetheless, it was very engaging and very well done, regardless of the fact that it had little plot to start with (Simply basing an entire story off of a single comic can be pretty hard to do)

This is the most beautiful story I have ever read. A true piece of literature, that makes you feel every emotion there is. If none of you have read it yet, then please, find the most convenient time for you, and sit down, and give it a read. I am almost definitely sure you will agree, that this is truly a masterpiece!

this is what I think the author is thinking when he's see's people crying over his fic:

Reader: author! you've already made me happy with this family. Why did you have to make such a sad ending? WHY?
Author: Oh I've done more than give you a sad ending... I've made you cry, and you will continue to cry for several hours, for I wish to leave you with a certain feeling. Marooned with depressing emotions and barely any questions answered...buried alive...buried alive
Reader: DAAAAAAAAAASHIE

Spoiler


Personally I needed to relax after reading this fic. It kinda hurt to read that ending, and all I did was pace with sadness at such a depressing ending. If I can make any recommendations for people, read that fanmade sequel. Its really well done and ends with the story feeling alot more sewn tight. And it leaves you with a good feeling, so if your dealing with dashie blues, go and read that sequel, its really good!

I'm going to be blunt here... I really don't see what all the fuss is for this story. I love sad stories, but this one didn't so much as depress me. In fact, I'd dare say I didn't like it.

That's just my opinion though.

It had to do more with the relationship between Dashie, and the dad. The quality wasn't what made it good, it was the emotions you felt. In fact, if i base it on quality I give it a low rating, I like it, because, in my opinion, it told a good story.

I draw the line at where I need to start speed reading to get the story over with. I found myself doing this through just one part of the story, but the rest of it I read through.

Yes, I shed tears. Yes, it was very sad. Yes, I could relate to it in my own way.

I am not going to be overly critical about it. Novice writers are novice writers, and that is what most fanfics are written by. I am just going to say that if this was a novice writer, he did a damn good job conveying the emotion and feeling of loss in such a short time. I can see why this story is so popular.

I havent cried in about 4 years, but to be honest this really almost made me. I can still feel my eyes burning and my throat hurting. this is the saddest but best thing I have read in my entire life, it tops every book I read. The story feels so realistic, and makes me feel almost as if I was standing amongst everyone. absolutely excellent.

I made it almost through the entire thing without crying, but I had tears rolling down the side of my face. After I have had raised my two dogs for 12 years and giving them away due to my leaving for college I could somewhat relate to the protagonist of the story.

I technicallly didnt read it since I listened to Mic the Microphone's amazing dramatic reading.

well actually it is not really an open ending. it was closed by him saying dashie was gone and he had to move on with life. There is no need for a happy ending because a sad ending like this makes the story so realistic, even if it is about a fictional pony character.

This fic changed my entire life, my life views, the way i see my family, and now i see that life should be treasured with every minute. You never know when the happiest moment in your life could disappear and that no matter what always love and treasure those close to you. When i read the fic...i saw how close the man was to Dash, that even though they went through hard times they still pulled through...it just...my life has a whole new meaning now because of it. Great job on whoever wrote that fic...i don't really read the names of the authors but this is a great fic and i hope you all enjoy it.

Seriously and all... my little Dashie was... well... emotional garbage.

I'm not very good at explanations, but let me spell it out.

1) The main character was a societal outcast and a loser at the beginning of the story... that didn't change at the end.

2) Dashie, while yes she did love him, wasn't written terribly well, she had many flaws that just stood out to me.

3) The overall story is just too mushy. I mean: Guy meets girl, Guy raises girl, Guy loses girl. END OF STORY. There's very little build up and the ending isn't very satisfactory.

There, I've said it.

Now, if you want to read a fic that DID make me cry, go read: To Be a Better Stallion.

Whoops, wrong fic. >.<

I think you look at the main character in a terrible way. depression does things too people, like not wanting to socialise. about the build up, there was a huge one. That is the main reason so many people cry about the story.
I guess opinions stay opinions. I as a matter of fact thought it was very well written. pleasant too read and overall just excellent.

I have to agree with meldazzar and pURE on this story, I'd been constantly pestered by friends and the communtiy to read it as it's one of the best fics ever. When I finished I really didn't feel sad, just kinda disappointed.

Which is probably for a few things

- I really struggle to sympathies with a story that puts my little pony and some bronies fantasy together. Only fic I've ever been able to do that with is through the eyes of another pony, and I also struggle to picture a 2d entity (ie rainbowdash) into 3d. So I read the whole thing with difficult putting that together

- I really didn't feel there was enough time to sympathies with the characters, nor in the story was there a point I really felt close to a character. It was basically a long diary entry and I never felt for a second that the reader was really part of the story. Alot of peoples excuses were that you already knew rainbow dash, but this story it really wasn't rainbow dash, it was a character that looked like rainbow dash but had been raised with a completely different personality

- Finaly the ending was in my opinion really unreasonable. The characters described really didn't fit. Spoilers ahead

I can respect people's opinions on this story but I really don't understand why so many people b'aww over it and I really feel its over-hyped.

What a good read, I have a difficult time finding really good fics to read, this is one that extremely impressed me. AND YES! I almost wept at the end, but the story doesn't end yet...

This fic changed my entire life, my life views, the way i see my family, and now i see that life should be treasured with every minute. You never know when the happiest moment in your life could disappear and that no matter what always love and treasure those close to you. When i read the fic...i saw how close the man was to Dash, that even though they went through hard times they still pulled through


it indeed is a provocative story, I'll give it that.

I read this, and I'm going to have to say that it was too short for my liking, and the story was a blur up until the very last part. But even then, while it made me a little sad, it wasn't too bad (I'm really not the kind of person that gets all soppy, I've read things like this before that never seem to bother me.) If this was a beginner writer, though, he didn't do too bad. I'm kind of at a fifty-fifty, because the author did fairly well at conveying feelings to the reader. And I was also satisfied with the ending.

Ugh, I've said it before, I'll say it again. You people who are saying you don't like it due to pressure are speaking through annoyance at a completely unrelated subject to this fic. I liked the buildup, and the emotions portayed by the writing, the pacing, the settings, the descriptions and the characters were great. I'll admit it's not exactly shakespearian, but at least cut it some slack for being what it is- a particularly good piece of writing. I spoke to the writer, he has a few endings for it, but he intentionally left you hanging at the end so that you could write your own ending, it is somewhat an interactvie tale for it. This is no random fic by a beginner, it is really quite good. The only problem is the fanbase, and while I readily admit anything can be ruined by frothing-at-the-mouth fans, I read it without thinking of them, and was really blown away by it. not to tears, lord no, but it certainly made me feel for it's characters. Anyone complaining about the character not changing throughout the story, get contacts and mash your eyes against the screen until you understand that he did change, but in the end all his years of work amounted to nothing. He wasted his life on dashie, and the other ponies assumed he had only known her 15 minutes and insensitively ripped her away from him, taking away also all those years of experience and mental stability. He was pretty much forced back into the position he started at, and this was one of the best things I liked about the story.

That's the problem you see, it's when you've heard all of the rabid fans of the fic that you are hearing "THIS IS SAD, BE SAD" screaming in the back of your head.

Exactly why I just said try reading it from a neutral standpoint and ignore the fans, then judge it based on your opinion, not based on the fans.

I never really read it because of the fans. Of course I found out about it because of them but I never really formed any opinion. So I read it strictly from a golfmann14 standpoint, and I found It to be a beautifully wound web of emotions that struck me to my core. If I were in that guy's spot, sad wouldn't even come close...

No offense intended, but that seemed more like you recapping the events of Sonic Rainboom than anything to do with My little Dashie.

I read this and the sequel today.  In the end of the first story I didn't cry but I had tears in my eyes and I was choked up.  I loved this story.  The buildup of them and the fight they had when Rainbow discovered-  Oh wait.  Those are spoilers.  Sorry kids.

Sorry, but after I read this the only thing I could think about is how selfish the main character was. I felt like the whole time he was just like. 34644683.jpg.
