    A quick Slamjam postmortem note

    So, the creator of one of the OCs I wrote about just about flipped his lid at me because I gave his character a gay shipping story, ruining his message of platonic bromance and emotionally vulnerable heterosexual dudes.

    Part 1: Poetry

    “But I hate poetry” well that’s because you’re doing it wrong. A poem of the type that we were told to write in this class is just a short, condensed piece of work that shows who you are and what you do as a writer.

Major Skyborne Dance retcon inc · 11:21pm Apr 6th, 2014

I've been pondering it, and I think Skyborne Dance would be improved if I made a very major retcon to the second bit--I should leave it so that Rarity and Applejack don't know as much as they currently do before deciding to follow their two pegasus friends.
