Derpy and The Hunting of the super tasty Muffin - spelling mistakes
  • There are pleny of stalls selling goods like vegetables ...

    I think you mean plenty here. I think it would also make it more readable if you put a comma after goods

    There are plenty of stalls selling goods, like vegetables ...

  • It's kind of hypnotizing how the drops splashing at the water's surface.

    I think you are missing an "are" here. It would make more sense like this:

    It's kind of hypnotizing how the drops are splashing at the water's surface.

  • Everywhere are shelfs filled with knowledge ...

    The plural form of shell is shelves.

    Everywhere are shelves filled with knowledge ...

  • One of the bookend holds a very big, brown book with magical runes on it's board.

    1. You are missing an s from bookends.

    2. It should be its instead of it's.

      • It's a trap!
      • Behold its power!
    3. I think you mean cover instead of board.

  • Stairs are going up the 2nd floor with even more books ...

    This doesn't sound very natural. I think it would sound better like this:

    Stairs are leading up to the 2nd floor, with even more books ...

  • Twilight Sparkle stands in front of a shelf and goes through the books very meticulous

    Twilight Sparkle is standing in front of a shelf, going through the books very meticulously

  • ... and even books you got no idea what they are about.

    I think have is a more proper word here.

    ... and even books you have no idea what they are about.

  • Some loose pieces of paper stick between a few of them.

    This sentence doesn't make much sense like this. How about:

    Some loose pieces of paper are stuck between a few of them.

  • A Quill lies on a row of books ... Why are you capitalizing Quill?

    A quill lies on a row of books ...

  • It's really big and the runes on it's board are glowing ...

    Again, you should probably use cover instead of board here. Also a comma after big wouldn't hurt. You should also use its instead of it's.

    It's really big, and the runes on its cover are glowing ...

  • You've eaten a firefly sometime.

    How about:

    You've eaten a firefly sometime ago.

  • They are looking more then ivy growing on the paper.

    They look more than just ivy growing on the paper.

  • 1) Yeah... what is this place?

    1. Yeah... What is this place?
  • 2) Lyra gave me that book. And I should give it to you.

    That book? No book was mentioned in the conversation. I think it would be better like this:

    Lyra gave me a book, and told me I should give it to you.

  • 3) Had to go, bye

    Had? Why is it in past tense? Don't you mean:

    Have to go, bye!

    I think this is even better:

    Gotta go, bye!

  • Oh wonderfull.

    I think you mean wonderful.

    Oh, wonderful!

  • Maybe you could put it back into the shelf, please?

    I think on would be a more proper word here.

    Maybe you could put it back on the shelf, please?

  • Twilight wants you to put back the book you got from Lyra into the right shelf.

    Again, I think you should use on.

    Twilight wants you to put back the book you got from Lyra on the right shelf.

  • But which IS the right one?

    I think the emphasis should be on which.

    But WHICH is the right one?

  • There are three rows in this shelf.

    I think this would be better phrased:

    This shelf has three rows.

  • You put the book into the shelf

    You put the book on the shelf

  • Your eyes begin to gleam and spit leaks out of your mouth corner ...

    spit is not a really pretty word. I think drool would fit better in this context.

    Your eyes begin to gleam and drool leaks out from the corner of your mouth ...

  • ... as you see this fantastic piece of tastyness ...

    ... as you see this fantastic piece of tastiness ...

  • 2) What about this odd ingredients?

    What about these odd ingredients?

  • 1) Right, this guys!

    1. Right, those guys (gals?)!
  • You know how to read a map, didn't you?

    You know how to read a map, don't you?

  • Just look at the map and visit this places.

    Just look at the map and visit these places.

  • When you got all the ingredients come back here.

    I think a comma after ingredients would do good.

    When you got all the ingredients, come back here!

  • In the meantime I try to find out what this special ingredient could be.

    Again, a comma after meantime would make it more readable. Also, It should be I'll try

    In the meantime, I'll try to find out what this special ingredient could be.

  • You're the most beautiful pony in town. You were that before, of cause ;)

    You're the most beautiful pony in town. You were that before, of course ;)
