A rant about fanon issue + Idea wall · 2:52am Aug 5th, 2012
RANT INCOMING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Okay, well after a rather sad outburst earlier today which involved me removing an author from my watch list (the reasons for this are actually the base of this rant.) It left me thinking on the fandom and my personal head-canon and such. So first here's my main irritation, something I hope to god I never become guilty of in the future.
Closed Minded Fandom Fanaticism: I classify this as being unwilling to recognize characters that have become official. The main examples I've seen of this. While a rare happening in this fandom are Shining Armor and the Princess Cadence. While I personally dislike the fact that such important characters where dropped on us with no heads up. I will not outright refuse that they exist. The path of a great fan-fiction writer for a show or other media that has yet to finish it's run will be led with dangers and needs to adapt to changes in the canon universe. Mainly the fact that Twilight wasn't an only child as first thought. While I believe it would have been more appropriate to at least hint at Shining Armor at least once especially if Twilight has such a powerful bond with him. Even if it was just a brief nod in any of the episodes that involved Canterlot, the Gala episode being a good candidate. A simple "I wonder how my brother is doing" Somewhere in one of those episodes would have probably lessened the fallout of it. But, as is the creed of the Brony, we must love and tolerate.
Now that I'm done blowing off steam, which I apologize profusely for, I believe it's time for the Idea wall mentioned in the title.
END OF RANT!!! YAY!!!
The Idea wall is where I'll be posting a vote of sorts, for you see I have many ideas for each of my stories and the reason it takes so long to update is because I worry that I may not take the right path. So herein lies the rub. This Idea wall will appear every week and I'll be taking suggestions for plot developments and story ideas, while also sending out small tastes of new stuff that's still in the working stage. The questions I'll ask will be displayed after the words Idea Q and then a number until I run out.
Idea Q# 1: This is for the story Bloodline of Flames, yeah I know I'm kinda stuck a bit early in this one but, I'm not sure what the punishment for the slaughter of 2,574 changelings should be... would it count as that many counts of first degree murder of manslaughter due to them abducting him? I would honestly like to do a trail scene so anyone with any trial experience would be awesome. (Secretly hoping the guy who does How did I get here and Le Retour sees this and helps out... he's so Awesome!)
Idea Q# 2: This one's for the Universe of Dreams series... this is my brainchild, my magnum opus so far as I can tell... and I want to know, how much of a time gap would really be appropriate? And if I go with 3-4 years should I make a side story detailing those years? Also wanting to know if Max should get his human form back during the sequel. While I admit I changed him into a pony for a reason I realize that him turning back into a human or at the very least a human like being would be a rather interesting plot twist.
Thank you for stopping by this blog and safe travels my friends.
I believe you could consider the killing of the changelings as either 1st degree voluntary manslaughter due to provacation and the definition of voluntary manslaughter or as 3rd degree murderer based on the definition but my suggestion would probally be to use the 3rd degree murderer stance

Ah thank you very much, now seeing as I was planing a trail scene I guess I need to find someone that can school me in basic law... Playing a Phoenix Wright game just won't cut it...
