Who Is That Handsome Stranger This is going to be a disaster. I don't know what Hasbro is thinking. I guess this is what happens when you let the marketing people call the shots. They're trying to cash in on the fad, and they don't care about keeping their brand strong or maintaining loyalty in the fans who got them to this point.
Let's take this one step at a time. To start, we have Shining Armor. I mean, since when does Twilight even have a brother? You can't just pull something like that out of thin air! Do they really expect us to believe that Twilight cares about this guy when we've never even heard of him before? There's no way they can pull that off.
And then there's this new princess coming out of nowhere. Sorry, what? There are supposed to be two princesses! All the lore stops making sense if you add a third! Speaking as a fanfic author, it's important that we have a coherent world with interesting features to explore. This Cadance character is going to take that away. She's boring and twee and none of us will be able to do anything interesting with her.
That's not the worst part, though. The worst part is that they think they can get away with an overused, girly trope like a friggin' wedding. This show was popular because it went deeper than this candy-scented heart-encrusted pablum. And before you give me anything about marketing to the target demographic, let me say that young girls can tell the difference, too. They want a cool story with a cool conflict. What conflict are we going to have? Twilight worrying that her dress doesn't match her mane? At least give us some kind of villain!
I guess I can see why Hasbro's marketing thought this would work, but they were wrong. If they want to keep the fandom, they need to tell good stories and they need to create an interesting world. I've seen more than enough to tell that Canterlot Wedding will fail on both counts.

Kewl stories, now excuse me while I try and undo the damage I did to my tongue (Bastard sour sweets)
and then it was this
because my mouth burned like hellfire on wheels. I don't like mortal much, don't know why either.

Dude I know. It it pretty great.
I think it helped that I actively encouraged it and asked questions. So try doing that, I guess?
I envy you for all the comments and discussion Mortal is getting.
Enjoying your Mortal fic. I may be forced to Follow you, depending on how it goes.
Even if you disagree with me, if you argue it well and present it in a well-written story, I will respect your talents.
May the blessings of the forest be with you

Thanks! The internet is a small place, at times. I did that as a way to remind myself to ask you to preread my latest project, once I finish the penultimate chapter. It's a Less Wrong-inspired meditation on the meaning of death, which seems like your territory.
Dascuro was responding to One Small Step, which was my only story on fimfic at the time.
It's funny that you started following me yesterday, because I was at the same time going thru the comments on "Happily Ever After", which I love.

But... BUT!... We want a real picture of a pony, and
Oh wait... There's a picture of a pony right now... Well carry on then =3
