"The Not-So-Normal Adventures of King Sombra and Pinkie Pie" revising and editing plans · 3:52am Apr 26th, 2014
Alright, so there's something I need to tell all of you... I think that I need to redo a lot of the stuff that's gone down in the fic... Yeah, I know, you're probably sitting there wondering, "BUT WHY?"
Well, here's a list of reasons why:
1. A lot of the chapters I wrote were ill-written and rushed
2. Said chapters ended up having a lot of bad pacing and plots
3. I seriously messed up with depiction of certain characters
4. Whenever I look at certain chapters, I will find myself sitting there thinking, "GOD, DID I WRITE THAT?!"
And I later found that my multi-chapter lacks what my one-shots do; drive. Whenever I'm supposed to be writing for the multi-chapter, I find I don't know what to write and just go, "screw it, I'll pursue this idea," then work on a random one-shot. Yeah, I know, super sloppy and awful, but I can't help it! It's like I have a disease or something!
So, I may end up deleting some chapters, mainly because I've made horrible, awful decisions with the story... Like making Pinkie a reincarnation of an alicorn princess who happened to be the ruler of Crystal Empire? THAT'S WORSE THAN A BAD OC! GOD, I'VE MADE MY FAVORITE PONY A MARY SUE!
And all the plans I've had for the story that weren't terrible and half-assed ended up being scrapped, so I might even add new ideas to the existing chapters... Needless to say, this will take time... And I might even have to revoke submission... Hopefully, it won't come to that...
Wait you really did that? I haven't got around to reading the story yet, so I didn't know.
But anyway, stuff like that... well since it's a canon character, it's perfectly fine. But if it didn't have a solid foundation of foreshadowing before the reveal, then that would be bad.

I KNOW. SO MANY BAD DECISIONS!
For the most part I have really liked the story, though I honestly do have one complaint. The Doctor being there really didn't make a lot of sense, to be honest. It's not a Doctor Who centered story, so him being there and dropping plot points like that is... jarring, to say the least
But for the most part, I really have liked the story, and found it pretty funny and entertaining

I'm guessing you left out the foreshadowing part then.
well as much as i have enjoyed this fic so far i'm also looking forward to your revisions, if only so that i get to read more of sombra-pie. good hunting and good luck.
