I wrote a thing for a collaborative story! And it (my part) is about Best Former Villain! · 1:18am Nov 18th, 2017
Yes! First thing I've had published on FimFic in a while, though not for lack of trying – Sunrise is still incoming... someday...

Just started watching Season 6, and I already like Time Traveling Communist Starlight Glimmer than Post-Reformation Starlight Glimmer. Just feels more natural I guess (even if her backstory doesn't). Besides, imagine her speaking smugly to Twilight in a Russian accent whilst sitting beside the Cutie Map.
"Privyet, Princess Twilight."
"Starlight, what have you done?"

A short story in which Starlight Glimmer writes one last letter to her teacher, and in my opinion, restructures her as a character faster and more efficiently than the show ever did. Score one for fan fiction.
(Hat-tip to Emylia Hawke's blog for prompting this post.)
Sunset Shimmer's parents were so proud when Sunset was not only accepted into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, but became Celestia's personal protégé. Of course, it was hard for them, being separated from their daughter while she was away at boarding school, but it just made the time they had together during school holidays all that much more precious.
After much soul searching and fiendish planning, I have finally published Lessons Learned after I revoked the submission last week because of sluggish moderation, but the title has changed! Fitting, I suppose, because of the changes Starlight goes through in the story. Having your world literally destroyed because of your actions can be traumatic. But folks, the pay off is good (and so is the story). I recommend having some facial tissues on hand.
Season 5 left me on an uneasy note for shaking up the status quo this way. Season 6 then turned a lot of folks sour at the idea of another new alicorn. So how did it go?
I was watching the Tangled series episode "Queen For A Day" on YouTube, and on a whim I checked the comments section. And one of them said, "Oh great. Another Starlight."
And I realized that they were right.
The writers and most fans of the show like to portray Varian as this tragic character, but he's not. He's a whiny selfish brat, who just like Starlight, rushes into things without any sort of forethought, and blames everyone and everything for his own problems.
And yes, I am aware that my proposed fixes might make the seasons a bit short but hey, season 3 was the shortest season of the entire show (only 13 episodes long) so...you know.

The Runaway Bodyguard is now published and is in weekly serialization. Come along for the thrill ride as Starlight runs away from the life of a noble to Baltimare to make a life where she's in control. She wants to study magic and be left alone, but the world won't cooperate. She becomes an athlete, a prizefighter, and eventually becomes naively entangled with the eastern Equestrian mob and unwittingly controlled by

I've been thinking about Starlight Glimmer quite a bit since the season finale, as many folks here have been. As of now, however, I'm not concerned with her antics in the finale, but rather a "what if" scenario about her appearance in the premier. I've been having trouble following through this train of thought to its conclusion properly[1], so I decided to post a blog here and see if any of you fine orbiting bodies have any thoughts you'd like to share.
My comments on the season finale; spoilers below.
