YOU Da' Incarlsistency! · 11:41pm Aug 23rd, 2013
After three "Two Background Ponies", I've decided to finally give Sam and Carl a chance to shine in the spotlight by giving them their very own full length adventure. It'll also be the first story I've tried doing in segments for those of you who don't like to sit down and read for a while. :P
Although I know what I'm doing for the long-and-complicated plot (NOTE: it'll be a lot more than Sam and Carl just sitting around talking about stuff), I'd like to know if there are any glaring inconsistencies or plot holes that have been driving you absolutely nuts that you would like them to touch on in the upcoming fic. I might include them!

Did you ever cover duplicate ponies?
I forget.

No, I haven't. Are you referring to duplicate background ponies or situations like in "Too Many Pinkie Pies"?

Duplicate background ponies.
Is it just coincidence that they have the exact same talents, and the exact same colours?
Princess Erroria? Though that was technically only in a flashback.
There's BonBon and her multiple voices.
I can't think up anything else.
On a side note, there's this reeally old story deep in EQD where a group of ponies decide to figure out why the hell are there duplicates of themselves. I think it covered Caesar, Doctor, Vinyl, Some Big Guy, and Derpy. It left off on a cliffhanger and I don't think it ever updated again.

Was it even really a flashback so much as a daydream, in which case the rules kind of fly out the window? Still...she DOES transition between pegasus and unicorn at will. I can work Bon Bon in too. I haven't dived so much into the fandom that I ever did an in depth analysis of each background pony (although I tried alluding to Lyra and Screwloose in "Two Background Ponies At A Donut Shop").
I'm just glad I have enough fans willing to even HAVE suggestions. :)
