FIRST OF ALL. NO APRIL FOOLS IN HERE.
So, Spike was able to move 100 people from across the world to look at this story. Not only this, but there should also come the 1000th view today. Thank you all for supporting me, especially after last week where I was pretty down. So for the celebration, let me tell you what I changed, stuff you didn't see, stuff i had originally planned but changed.
Originally, I planned to go through every episode of the show with Spike's snarky comments. You guys said that you don't want that and like more original content.
Then I planned to make a Slice of Life with original content. Sadly, I am no guy for Slice of Life, because I personally think it's mostly boring. I tried writing it, never came up with anything. So I simply changed it into an adventure fic.
When I was writing chapter two, I completely deleted the 6000 word chapter once. Originally, Spike kills Twilight and travels with the guilt to NMM. There he acts like he swore his allegiance towards her, but sends the Elements of Harmony towards Celestia with his breath. She comes back and destroys NMM... Yeah... I realized that this isn't what you wanted and that this most likely would bring the end of the story. Also, this isn't really rated for "everyone".
Originally, I planned to give Spike's Poison Joke form more "extras". Scales that change based on "her" emotions. Gas breath instead of fire. Instead of sending stuff to Celestia, he can copy letters. Teenage body. I realized that this was a liiittle too much and changed it.
Now for the biggest change. I originally planned to let Spike be in this special form for the whole duration of the fic. It would add a lot of hilarity if some pink female dragon talks like him. You guys obviously did not like it, and I thought that maybe not so many are happy about this. So I changed it.
I hope the changes I made are for the better ;P
And thank you all again.
I knew your story would go well. I wouldn't be surprise if your stories hit the featured. I can't wait to see what you got planned for Spike in the next chapter.
