Bronydom Fanfic Reviews: The Hiccups

Today's Subject: The Hiccups
Author: uSea
Genre: Comedy
Short summary: Sweetie Belle gets the hiccups.  The other two Crusaders take it on themselves to cure them.

Review: Basic premise, surprisingly sound execution.

From the summary, you've probably figured out how it goes - the girls drag Sweetie Belle from one Mane Six member to another in their attempts to get the hiccups cured.  However, it's the journey that's the fun part, and the gags work fairly well.  The story doesn't outstay its welcome with any one character, spending just enough time with each of the Mane Six for the jokes to work before moving along.  Despite its brevity, there's time for a subplot that fits in nicely.

The prose starts bland but picks up, with a few minor spelling and grammr errors that mildly detract.  The author could have used another pass or two over the story before submitting it.

There isn't much to say about this story - it's short, it knows what it wants to do, and it does it well.  This is the sort of work I appreciate over bloated, multi-part "epics" that don't know when to stop.
