[Aberrant Harmony]: Important Question · 2:03pm Apr 26th, 2016
Soooooo hello again. This time I've got an important question for you the readers.
Would you like me to heavily alter TCARW so that we don't have any references to my other novels?
This would be a rather large project and one I'm not sure if it's worth undertaking. However, I think the novel it tied into —What Changes May Come is hella cheesy and I don't want that polluting the quality of my series.
Thoughts? Concerns? Let me know below?
An another, much happier note, check out this NEW cover ViralAcorn did for TCARW. Finally have a "matching set" for all three books. Yay!
No, why?
no
3897551 Just something that was on my mind. ^^" I didn't really plan on doing it, but if a lot of folks want me to, I'd consider it more seriously.
Naw. I like it! Everyone is shipped, woot woot!
Don't alter it. I really liked the references.
Don't alter it. I love that story.
I like it the way it is. I've never really been a fan of ret-conning stuff, and it gives optional back story to help expand your world.
I don't think you should mess with it anymore than you have to. However...
This pun made me smile.
Honestly? Yes, I would prefer it on its own. TCARW could more than easily stand on its own merits and it would probably be stronger for it.
Anyone who has read TCARW by this point and liked it liked it for what it already is and clearly doesn't see any major problems with it, so I don't really see any point to that. In all honesty, personally? I never even noticed any tie-ins. I haven't read any of your other stories. If it's there, it's not noticeable enough to really be a problem, I think.
Honestly, I don't care what you do. If you choose to alter it, alter it. It's completely up to you. As long as the Twicord fluff is as strong or stronger, I'll be happy with whatever you decide.
No.
I like it the way it is. I loved WCMC. I find there to be more background that way. I think it adds depth.

I would probably leave it be. It doesn't really detract much from the main story (seeing as I haven't read the other affiliated stories). You know the old saying: "Don't mess with a good thing" (or something along those lines).
I think altering would do nothing but remove depth for the ones who know what is being referenced. From a perspective of a (not really) normal reader, TCRW is perfect the way it is...
If only it had an official sequel.
My advice would be no.
Extra background is added to the story and if it interests you, you can look into it. If it doesn't, the story isn't affected in any major way so it doesn't hurt you to gloss over it.
I think it should stay the way it is.
You have such amazing talent

There is no need to change what beautiful work you have done
When you finish a drawing and have added every detail until it looks perfect, and then you decide you want to change something....
Smudge marks from the eraser ruin the picture
I know other people basically said similar things but I am simply telling you
You are amazing
The things you make are amazing
You don't need to change anything
When I read it, I didn't find the references detracted from it at all, if that's what you're worried about. It was excellent then. If you really want to change it, I suppose I'd say go ahead, but I think it's good as is.
It's fine the way it is now.
I like the story the way it is. I missed a lot of background stuff when I read TCARW the first time, but caught more of it when I read the other stories.
I like the universe you've built up, the related and interconnected events, the shift in character focus in different stories. It adds a lot of depth to the overall story and for me, it gave me more incentive to read the other stories set in the same universe.
I like it the way it is.
wow you just called your first cheesepie fanfic cheesy and that its polluting your gallery. how nice thank you so much for insulting the story and the ship. when did you turn into a condescending stuck up? seriously it was your first fic what is the matter with you!? "mocking" oh its hella cheesy i feel its polluting my stories" wow you really have turned into a major snob. thanks a lot for insulting cheesepie shippers you traitor! screw you too! the rest of your stories suck anyway! they started sucking when you decided you were too good for cheesepie you snobby jerk! you arent better then us! cheesepie isnt a lowly ship you just look down on it because you became a snob! you think you are too good for that ship goodbye and good riddance! asshole! its a good story and everyone loved it except you because YOU ARE ASHAMED OF US! admit it! you are ashamed of cheesepie shippers so do you decide to insult us!
4008284 First of all calm the crap down. I did NOT say that Cheesepie was a bad ship.
Second of all. Don't you DARE call me stuck-up. I have severe depression and extremely low self-esteem. I suffer from crippling self-doubt just about every freakin day. I am just about the furthest you can get from stuck up. You don't understand me. You can't pretend to understand my situation. So shut the hell up.
What I was actually saying there is that I didn't like how the story itself turned out. The story, not the damn ship. It sacrificed characterization for cute scenes. I know I could have done a lot more justice to the ship than I did. That's what I was implying. Not that the ship itself was cheesy. I still like Cheesepie even though I don't ship it. Cheesepie got me into the fandom and helped me meet some of my friends who have stuck with me since then. I don't hate the damn ship, okay? I still write Slow Fade and that's Cheesepie. So you can calm the fuck down.
Stop making assumptions and calling people out for a problem that doesn't exist. If I just made assumptions about people based on one thing they said, I'd be calling you a self-righteous bastard. But I'm not.
