    Goodbye to Level Dasher...

    For anyone who is not aware of Level Dasher, I'm sorry you didn't meet the amazing and charismatic young man. He'd been here for 10 years and gone through so much. Including two heart transplants...Only to be taken early this morning by the bitch Cancer.

    My friend is gone...

    Today I learned that my dear friend Mythy or as you would know him TheMyth has passed beyond our world... I don't really know what to say... I wasn't expecting this...Not at all and I have spent much of the last hour or so since learning in tears... He was a dear beloved friend and I am devastated that I won't hear any more of his

The Gate of Judgement · 10:59pm May 1st, 2015

No?

I vote meh.

Took away from the story, so i vote no

I vote no Judgement Gate. For those unfamiliar with the source, it's a terrible non sequitur in the story's context. For those who are familiar with the source, the outcome is pretty much a given, unless you feel like completely rewriting the story and adding the "Tragedy" tag.

what every you want it is your story as long as you put your heart into it I thing it just fine the way it is if you not happy with it then change it if you like it the way it is then keep it

Came out of nowhere and fairy lady's explanation as to why they qualified made no sense whatsoever.

To put my two cents about it, the reason why no one liked it is because there was no build-up to even suggest something like this would happen. If you had put some foreshadowing here and there, maybe it could have worked. Otherwise, if it was cut out, nothing would be lost to the story other than Cel and Twi kiss at the wedding seem... (how do I put this?) Forced? No, that's not it... Unexpected? No, there were hints that such a sinario would happen... a bit rushed? Perhaps, but still, even that would need a bit of build-up too.

I vote no... It's so completely random and doesn't tie in to her other trials at all.

I will admit, I didn't get it (at all) but I just shrugged and kept reading. It's not the first time something has gone over my head. It was a great story regardless, if you feel like it should stay there, then fuck the nay(neigh) sayers. :rainbowlaugh:

Edit: Wait, it was a Ah! My Goddess reference. It's been way too long since I watched it, so that might explain it. Now I wish my hdd with all my anime hadn't died. Sigh.

Actually, that was the one bit of it that made sense to me (despite having not known/forgotten the reference).

It was a minor thing so it shouldn't be that big of a deal

I personally like the reference so I vote Yes.

Yeah, I'd say take it out. It doesn't fit with the rest of the story, and it disrupts the flow. You establish early on that Twilight has to pass these three tests, except once she does then whoops there's actually another test that comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with the first three. Plus, she doesn't have to do anything interesting to pass it and there's not much of a chance she might fail.

If you decide you absolutely have to keep it in, I would suggest putting Princess Cadance in charge of the Gate and/or ending the chapter right after they go through, to make a cliffhanger.
