RIP in peace, Mike.

Apparently not

I know this is the most annoying question an artist has to deal with, but is there any chance on continuing the two year old story?

To think; if Mr. Larsen had made Rarity focus on speed instead of the weather… what a different story I'd have written, huh? Frankly, after all's said and done, I'm glad he went the way he did.

You might find this interesting. From an interview with M A Larsen over at EqD:

I’ll ask the opposite question now- did anything make it into the final cut that you just regret deep down in your soul? If so, given the choice, would you erase it from history?

I get blamed for a whole lot of stuff I didn't actually do (and I get credit for some stuff I also didn't do), but I will take 100% responsibility for the fact that Rarity is controlling the weather in "Magical Mystery Cure."

I completely and utterly botched it on the fact that Rainbow Dash got her cutie mark for speed and not weather. I think I got so enamored with all of the puns, like "weather patterns," that I glossed right over it before I realized I had it wrong. There was another line that was cut where angry, sunburned ponies come up to her and she says, "What? Too last season?" which is another weather/fashion pun that I liked a lot. But, yeah, that was a pretty bad mistake on my part.

Also:

And the wings were not my idea so you can stop making those jokes now.
