Hello all my few dozen followers. It is I, that fan of 80’s pony, Al-1701. And I’ve been actually posting content, yes-no?

Okay, enough with the Don Carnage imitation.

When it was still relevant, I had commented on multiple occasions D G D Davidson's depiction of G1 in his story, A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies, was dull and insulting. Along with having slogged through the story itself, I had read many of his blogs about his thought process in creating it. One such blog probably explains the linchpin behind why he made Dream Valley such a depressing place.

I had abandoned Equestria Nova, because I found the reasoning for it to be faulty. I was kind of raging against Friendship is Magic and other things. Looking back, it was not my best moment. I abandoned it, and started looking at other possibilities.

Here's a what if. What if "The Transformers" and "G.I. Joe A Real American Hero" didn't self-destruct in 1986? Not only did they set themselves up for cancellation, but they also dragged down My Little Pony and Jem and the Holograms before their time. They originally ordered 61 episodes of the My Little Pony side of "My Little Pony 'n Friends" with the intent to use "Rescue at Midnight Castle" and "Escape with Katrina" with a K to bring it up to the magical 65 episode mark. Unfortunately,

I'm frankly burning out on Friendship is Magic as a series. I've never been a fan of sitcoms, especially Aesop-driven ones meant for children. They tend to run out of material at some point, and the delivery of the morals gets rather repetitive.

I've also grown tired of the characters and their increasingly one-note personality the writers have

To those following Equestria Nova, I am sorry to say I am discontinuing it. In truth I took on the wrong mentality when writing it. I had decide to backhand Friendship is Magic which I am growing increasingly dissatisfied with as a series. I am also displeased with the course I had set it on for its conclusion which would have been a downer note. The biggest nail in Equestria Nova's coffin is I am completely divorcing my work from the Friendship is Magic universe. The creative choices that

I got response to my blog on my attempt to rewrite the ending to Demon Slayer suggesting now that Davidson has apparently called it quits I should finish it myself. Well, reading the story yet again, I find myself even less interested in the story.

Now that DGD Davidson has kind of, sort of, not really released Chapter 8, I'm going continue my alternate version where Wind Whistler lived. I will continue it based on the original Chapter 8, but I will be extensively rewriting the events based on both criticisms of others and my own ideas. For for it soon.

So, those watching me with interest in this, tell your friends.

With eight weeks before the premier, I want to put out my thoughts about Friendship is Magic going forward. After the massive shakeup that is alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle, Season 4 could be a major turning point for the series determining if it will have longevity or should be ended after this season or maybe after a shortened 5th season.
