The slickest pony in Equestria spends some time in the finest city in all the Principality. A pony with no status moves among the highest of the nobles. Much is discussed, more is learned, and conclusions are reached that will affect lives forever.

While I'm not good with this type of dialog, I still did enjoy it and understand some of it. I think that the way you write in such a way is very nice and well thought, but could hurt in the long run. I had a hard time reading it and I'm sure many others will have a problem too. Other than that though, its great once you digest the difficult wording and I give it 5 stars.
I love the direction that Bad Apple took after we first met him, and the way you've been revealing more and more of his true character. His relationship with Luna is particularly touching, and I find him growing on me.
Definitely an interesting story, and one that gives us a better look at the black sheep of the Apple family.
For the "Bad Apple" thread, it's probably best to do "Bad News Apple", "The Discarded Son", "The Unfavorite", "The Nightwatch", (Then a quick jump into "The Bad Apple Chronicles"), this one, "The Unsuitable" (for a laugh, it's kind of a sequel to this.) And if you like, "Hatred would be better." "Contra the heresies" part two references "The Nightwatch" part three (So does "Hatred.") Complicated, but I had an interconnected thread thing going on 
Yea, I know. But you know? It was free, and I was so SO glad to get it. Someday, I'll get a more proper one with her Ethereal mane and her wings visible.
I love these characters. I love them so much. I've learned how to get into their heads and work out how they would act. Mostly because I created Bad Apple, and because English Renaissance Luna is near and dear to my heart. Ahhh, bawdy double-entendres and cutting common phrases. 
Oh, Mr. LaVedier. I kep forgetting to tell you how much I like this story and whine about how much you should be popular and how I'd give you all my fans if that were possible. I've always been attracted to the idea of a single person with a huge amount of power or charm or intelligence, like James Bond or Do for Who, and you nail that. +1, brother. +1.
Popularity is a strange thing. I plug away for love of the art, but I really would enjoy a bit more notice. You're too kind to say all that, and I thank you much.
I, too, enjoy that kind of "lone wolf" hero, like the ones you mentioned. However, as "The Fulcrum" shows, Bad Apple says what the others don't. He's not alone. A vast array of helpers and supporters have made him the success he has been. He serves as a focal pivot that lets other talents be mixed and brought to bear. Also, when I thought about doing an "It's a wonderful life" equivalent, there were so many changes, ultimately ending in Any Random winning.
