Did I make mistakes? · 2:48am Sep 30th, 2016
I want honest opinions here, folks. Do you think that I made some missteps with my stories?
I mean, one common complaint folks had about "Six Nights (and a Day) With Sunset" was that I put in stuff that detracted from the story - connections to the rest of my 'verse, Flash Sentry, and so on. I'm happy with it - heck, the only changes I'd make now would be to incorporate stuff that was established long after the story was written (namely, Fluttershy's family). I'm just hoping that folks would properly elaborate on that in particular, and any other issues in general.
Also, October starts this weekend. I don't know when the next chapter for "A Shimmering New Year" is coming, but circumstances permitting, it'll be before the end of the year.
If you like it, what does it matter?

I got no complaints.

Okay then. Thanks.
With Six Nights specifically, I have no issues. Elsewhere, we've already gone over my issues via PM.
Like they all said, if you like it, what's the problem? I mean, it's alternate universe anyway and you had no way of knowing at the time you wrote it that Fluttershy's family would be discussed canonically. The show DOES have an unfortunate habit of throwing stuff like that completely out of left field.
4233416 I'm just feeling things out - I might be satisfied with the story as-is, but that doesn't mean the critics don't occasionally have a point. And as for Fluttershy and her family, yeah, canon pulling things like that in is exactly why I purposely kept things so vague regarding her family, so I could massage in canon when needed. Makes me sorta dread the inevitable day when we finally see Sunset's relatives. These comments, however, make me more comfortable about leaving the story as-is.
4233353 You're very welcome, Echo.
And I don't think I could say anything else on the subject that everyone else hasn't said better.
