I hope I don't ruin anything · 3:48pm Jan 3rd, 2014
One day I had been talking with a couple classmates who had read my story and one of them had said something about how I had degraded something because I used it in my story, this certain thing was also in the real world so using it in my story apparently degraded when I used it in my story. I changed it, but I still need to know, does using real-world things by their brand and/or name in my stories degrade them and make them seem lamer in the real world?
Seriously, somepony please answer this question!
