Assesment and Self-Reflections on The (Un)wanted, Rewritten Love Life of Twilight Sparkle

About that 'taking a backseat thing, that doesn't mean the story is going on hiatus or anything, it only means I'm writing a story prompt to see if I can decently write other stories or if I'm merely a one-trick pony.
Once again, I thank you all for the support of the story and those who Favorited and Bookmarked and overall spammed my notifications about ships, asking if I can proofread their stories, help edit a couple of things, and if I will include their OCs into the story. As far as the ships goes, I will crush them between the spaces of my paws. As far as the OC situation goes... eh... I planned on killing characters off so why not have your character become paste in my never ending insomnia induced rampage of fictional characters as if I'm Andrew Motherbucking Hussie?
No. I will not add your OC into the story, now stop pestering me about it.
About the editing and proofreading shtick, eh... it's a little more complicated than that. I have to say it's a really busy thing for me, a cat like me does not have opposable thumbs writing 20,000 words for a chapter in the Fanfictions, keeping up with family life (AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA), going to work, and most importantly: Sleeping(who am I kidding: I NEVER SLEEP)!
For future reference to new readers or people who want to comment three things in a row about Twilight's and Barbra's accents (I'm looking at you, mate): Twilight Sparkle and Barbra and everyone else from Great Canterlot are Canterlis and they have Canterlis accents. Notice some parallels between fiction and real life? Great Britain and British Accents? I tried to make it painfully obvious, exaggerating it, but I guess it's making them sound Australian or Irish.
Twilight Sparkle, as far as this story goes, does not have an irish nor anything other than British Accent. Neither does Barbra and it would make no sense for them to have differing accents from one another given as they were raised together.
Please don't get infatuated (or even worse, infuriated) with the idea, the matter of how they were written was not my idea and was the way ProbableSarcasm wrote Twilight Sparkle in his story; I debated against myself whether or not to even add it in the first place, regardless of positivism towards it because I know it would heavily derail the whole meaning behind the story - which is literally a harem comedy that's gender-swapped (I prefer the term 'Awkward Romantic Comedy') in which stallions fight over the affection of a mare who will never (maybe? let's just say it's unlikely for continuity purposes) return their feelings.
On the subject of Twilight and Barbra's Accent, it's British. There's nothing else to say on that matter.
Now onto the changes in the story in regards to source material and canon (HHHHIIIIISSSSS!).
Knight-Terror Knight (or Nebula) was perhaps the biggest and probably will ever be the biggest change in the whole bucking story, besides the fact some characters will die in a couple of chapters later on. Blood-Moon Nebula? What was I sniffing, my Axe Body Spray from when I was a twelve year old basement dweller, slurping audiably on instant cooked noodles while jacking furiously off to Thomas The Tank r34 images on 4Chan (Not a lot has changed since then from now, except the years. Now it's Homestuck, quite soon it's going to be Hivebent (I'm going to be all over that shit).), while being edgy and brooding - screaming that Mother doesn't understand that THIS IS WHO I AM AND THIS IS THE REAL ME???!!!!
UGH!!!!
...
Anyways.
I am exceptionally disapproving of Twilight Sparkle being an Alicorn as I write this and perhaps this is mostly why I regret ever adding in the idea of it. I recognize the comedic value of it, not being able to fly with such inadequate practice and almost being killed via a cliff (would that count as a spoiler? It happens in the bucking show), but there's something about it that just strikes me as follows: Why would I ever think that was a good idea?
Why did I think it was a good idea? Simple, I thought it would make her a little bit more different than the way Dusk Shine was being played but then I realized halfway into the chapter (skyfall) that maybe it was a TERRIBLE idea and I have shouldn't add it; but if I decided to take it out, then I would have to redo the whole first part of the chapter (from canterlot, with love) and edit the description and find new pictures to steal borrow (assuming they explicitly say 'Don't use this piece') and credit with proper sources after doing a google search. It is tough work to look for images on Google and find sources as they usually come up as "DATA:SDAOIHDAIOHADOI28912448127412ANDTHESQUAREROOTOFPITOTHE3520753POWERIS" and more stupid bucking things as such and it would be a nightmare trying to juggle that along with finishing a love project while also helping some 'inexperienced artists' by criticizing their work and then having to apologize to them because I hwurt ther fweelings. (Even though I was being a tad bit harsh on them). Anyways, I had chapters to write and one chapter to cut from the continuity.
I would find out only days later that I was right as my unintentional bias faded from my heart and I started to look more critically at my work to see if I should improve on anything, and that was the detraction from the source material and risking the continuity of the story with each new thing I added into the mix. I know and knew that if I add to many things all at once, or at all for that matter, it would pose a serious risk of becoming a garbled mess of edginess, chaos, and hilarity but not the hilarity I wanted.
I want to recon it, I really do, but since that would really mess up with the planning I have for the story and all of the jokes I have on standby that I didn't steal from TVTropes, I have decided to let you guys come up with the decision yourselves - for those who care at the very least. Should Twilight Sparkle become a regular Unicorn again (by some means of magical mishap or whatever) or should I keep Twilight an Alicorn? I do not believe that the change will affect how long it will be until the new chapters come rolling out, but the change will take time and effort to build up to it (perhaps in a chapter after the Gala Mishaps). Here is the link to the poll, decide for yourselves.
As far as characters go, I believe I need to do a better job at keeping the character-integrity intact and how the gender-flip may affect the characters as a whole. I, as some wonderful chap has mentioned, that I have missed the opportunity to represent Elusive as a more gentleman-y type pony with his forwardness in the first chapter - alluding to the source material of Rarity's obsession with Dusky Husky. Solaris especially had the biggest change in character, and I also feel I have made Barbra more sarcastic and blunt than her Source Material Counterpart and especially Canon Counterpart. I do not know if I will change this, Solaris and Barbra's character but...
Wait!
Shh!
Do you hear it?
Look up.
No, further.
Higher than the clouds.
Do you see it?
No, not rock bottom you sad dastard! Get some therapy or something.
I mean look HIGHER!
LOOK HARDER
LOOK BETTER
LOOK FASTER
LOOK STRONK-ER
There! I know you see it now! It's a rare species of birds, but it's also called by it's german name...
HEILIG KLIPP-KUNST AUF EINEM SCHLECHTEN BLOG-POST, BATMAN! It's... ancient... something unheard of... like archaic magic... something that's only been spoken by elite authors in only the most quietest and restricted hushed whisperings between the round-table they all seem to have... a thing called
