Substitute - Ask Me, Adamantine, or the Unponies anything · 4:00pm Oct 12th, 2016

I’ve never done anything like this before but doing an AMA seems like a somewhat interesting idea. I’ve seen other people do it and I figured that if I wanted to do something like that, this point in the story would be the most opportune time.

I am taking questions from now until Sunday, October 16th at 11:59 PM EST. That gives you 108 hours to come up with any questions. Anything submitted after that is not guaranteed to make it into the actual AMA post.

Pretty much anything is open. While this AMA is Substitute-oriented, questions relating to Feedback are equally fair game (and will be answered first as to reduce spoilers for those not caught up). Here are some example questions that you may ask (oh, and you are free to take these questions for your own).

-RQK, how exactly does the crystal ball / infinite worlds work?
-Adamantine, what is your favorite type of coffee?
-I want to pose this question to Gabbro and Basalt. What did you do before the Nameless disappeared?
-Hi Adamantine, where did you learn to spar like that?
-Gabbro, do you like Basalt?
-This question goes to the author. What the heck is going on in this story? I am confuse.
-To all, what exactly is the Great Benefactor / Nameless?
-RQK, what do you do outside of MLP?

I will attempt to have the AMA written in a somewhat narrative style, and should hope to have it done within a few days after it closes. Please leave your questions in the comment section below.

Cheers!

Have you accepted the light and love of our lord and savior Jesus Christ into your heart and life?

For Sunset:
1. what did it feel like; casting and what are your feelings towards The Answer and what was it like compared to utilising normal pre-casts, if there was indeed something different.

2. have you given any thought about what you'll do after graduation and do you ever still think about what you saw reflected in the mirror portal?

For Starlight: What are your thoughts on Sunset Shimmer? Also please don't be so hard on yourself, you could hardly have known all this would happen at the time.

Finally, for Adamantine: Why do you think that you, unlike the other versions of you, haven't opened a portal to a different dimension? Also if a solution is found for the crisis your people face, have you given any thought as to what you and they will do afterwards?

Author:
*What is the answer? As in, what is its function?
*In Feedback the worlds were described as layered. Do the parallel universes also have this effect?
*Is the crystal ball of Substitute the same one as used in Feedback? And if so, is it the same Twilight in the ball?
*Assuming that the wasteland was caused by The Nameless, what does that imply about when Twi and Glimmer went to there in season 5. Were they in danger?
*Does the above question have any relevance to the story.

Those are the only questions which I could really ask. (don't want you spoiling your own story after all)

RQK: How did you come up with the idea of the crystal ball? Also, how did you manage to make the time loop seemingly stable?
