    Woah!! What exactly IS Humor?!

    It's forming a new positive connection in your brain which once had a negitive or neutral reaction that takes you by surprise, not to be confused with making you afraid.

    And boom, gone.

    Deleted the heated blog post at the request of a friend, if you have a sour taste in your mouth after that, I don’t, so you shouldn’t either.

    Anyway, so ponies are cute.

Everyone hated the new chapter. · 11:54am Jan 22nd, 2015

So I took it down.
Now expecting people to freak out and hate me for taking it down.
Doesn't mean the chapter is dead forever, just means I'm gonna try and take another crack at it.

Didn't have time to comment on the chapter proper...

I thought it was funny myself, but it really did feel like the beginning of a whole other story, or something similar. The tone was just competently off compared to the rest of Changeling Doll.

If you want to continue this, that might be an idea actually. Pull it out, and publish it as a stand-alone spin-off more focused on direct comedy.

Just my two cents.

What did I miss D:

Well crap. Didn't even get to read it.

Well, that explains why I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. I sensed you taking the chapter down!

Well dang...

>Everyone hated it...
Not exactly, but if you want to put it that way. I think it's that most people had no idea that it was actually tied to the story because we forgot to put a certain something at the beginning of the chapter. Also, people didn't like that kind of "Luna just suddenly follows orders" deal. It just... well, didn't fit, it seems, with everyone's expectations stubbornness due to of what they have seen perspective from Stupid.

So... bad? No. Hated? No. Perfect?... still no. But now we know what to do to hopefully get it fixed. :twilightsmile:

Do that's the reason I have an "unread" chapter without actually having one. You have any idea how annoying that has been? -_- Ah well. I look forward to how you fix the chapter in question, though I didn't read the original.

Uh...I didn't get to read it, so I couldn't say one way or the other...

I would have at least liked to have read it.

"HI, I'M QUICK WIT, AND BY QUICK WIT, I MEAN PINKIE PIE, AND BY PINKIE PIE, I MEAN FIST WIZARD."
"Wha-"
"HAHA NO, YOU DON'T GET TO THINK."

Fist wizard sounds like he belongs in Adventure Time.

2739967
Due to messed up priorities, I am hellbent on making sure that Celestia and Luna get a changeling named Fist Wizard who just spends her time pointing out the uncomfortable truths of their lives.

2739973 I don't know about that stuff but any character named Fist Wizard I can confidently stand behind!

Can you give me a link for the unpublished chapter? I didn't even get to read it.

I'm sad I didn't get to read it. If it was good, good. if not, I thrive on complaining. :fluttercry:

I thought the chapter was freakin hilarious! That changling was what would happen if Pinkie's personality were injected into a changling. So forget the haters and put the chapter back up. And if folks complain, just ignore them.

As others have reflected, the core issue was that it came completely out of left field. The chapter wasn't bad; we just had no larger framework in which to fit it.

In one sense, though, it worked perfectly. After reading, a changeling knocked on my door, and I was so confused that I invited it inside instead of doing something more sensible, like literally almost anything other than inviting it inside.

I didn't even get to see it...

I loved the chapter. Sad its down for now.

*Freaks out because I have no idea what's going on and all I know is that a new chapter to one of most enjoyed fics has been deleted* :raritydespair:

Just so you know I'm among those who liked the new chapter. :heart: Quick Wit is EXTREMELY SILLAY! XD

Especially loved the gag with White Lie's note on the back of the card. :pinkiehappy:

'FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY, TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, QUICK WIT!'

Absolutely zero seriousness ensued. :pinkiecrazy:

There was a new chapter? And I never got to read it? Well, I doubt it was that bad. I guess I'll have to wait for you to post your new shot at it. Good luck.

What? I liked the changeling version of Pinkie Pie. Was annoyed not to see the cliffhanger followed up on, but nowhere near enough to hate it and want it removed

I thought it worked very well to be perfectly honest. I can see the argument for making it a separate parallel story because it is kind of late to start up a second disconnected storyline, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the chapter so I really think you should put it back up as a separate story.

Why must you you make me feel so evil?

I didn't hate it. It was a bit out of left field, but it wasn't terrible.

I agreever with Crystal. Left field from hell but altogether entertaining

Yay! Update!

To be serious, I was anticipating the update of this story, but seeing this. I'm just sad.
I hope this isn't canon. I hope this is just a joke. I hope this didn't actually happen.
By far, this chapter is the lowest part of this story. I failed to find anything in this chapter funny, all I could see was 'random acts of uneccessary and failed comedy'.

Refer to these comments for more:
>> sarokcat
>> Vic Viper
>> Raugos
>> Bobby Dole
>> Camlio (I don't really agree that you should stop reading just for this one blunder.)
>> Dagon M Dragoon

If this is in fact canon to the story, I choose to ignore it.

In other words:

I didn't say I "hated" the chapter, at least I wasn't trying to. I just meant that it wasn't what I was expecting. As people are saying it was "too far out of left field". It didn't fit with the comedy scheme you already had going.

I didn't mean to make you feel evil! :pinkiesad2: I was just surprised at how fast it went past (Meep! Meep!). :rainbowhuh:

Well, I didn't get to read this new chapter, but I didn't know it was gonna be updating tonight anyways. I guess I'll keep waiting. Good luck with the chapter, Pickless. I totally enjoy each one that comes out.

2740614 Cuz you are >:(
:D Nah, I'm kidding, but please post it as a separate stand alone as everybody asks you to.

Is it just me, or is everyone taking this ridiculous comedy way too seriously? I'm content with just turning my brain off and giggling.

In the end, the writer's opinion is the one that matters, because he (or she) is the one crafting the story. Every time I let a story's fans dictate the direction, the story (not to mention my motivation to write it) suffered. Stick to your guns, because no matter what you do, it's going to piss someone off. May as well maintain your creative integrity while doing it.
