Big Master Review List, simplified · 6:18am Dec 10th, 2016
Just updated the simple BMRL.
If that link doesn't work for anyone, please let me know. Also some feedback on if people find that faster or not would help.
Now to prove best Princess with cold hard numbers.
Celestia / Sun : 88 / 203
Luna / Moon: 107 / 94
Cadance / Cadence / Mi Amore Cadenza : 7 / 6 / 8
Skyla / Flurry Heart : 0 / 3
Huh. So, Luna is best Princess but the Sun is best heavenly object apparently. Was not expecting the word 'Sun' to be so popular.

Oh right! I did forget. I shouldn't be biased and include other confirmed royalty.
Shining Armor :
Blueblood :
*rainbow laser to face*
Ahem. I mean,
Twilight Sparkle / Twilight / Sparkle : 100 / 268 / 130
Of course, the first number overlaps both of the others but I figured just Twilight is used enough.
So I guess, technically, Princess Twilight Sparkle is best princess if we consider some of the Twilight is referring to her and not actual sunset/sunrise twilight.
Er, don't forget that your search numbers include author names as well as story titles. "Twilight" is boosted by Twilight Clopple, TwilightSnarkle, etc. "Sun" includes Closer-To-The-Sun, KitsuneRisu, Morning Sun, etc. Also, "Sun" in titles includes Sunset Shimmer.
Since I have not searched to see whether "Luna" or "Moon" are similarly affected, Luna is clearly objectively best princess.
Chrysalis / Queen : 13 / 23
Ember / dragon : 25 / 968
Objectively best royalty discovered.

Well, some of the Twilights in the count (Doncha just love the multiverse?) are Twilight-before-ascension, so that is also a debatable consideration. Also, I think Horizon isn't considering the huge popularity of dragonfly fics in his assessment.
No, I'm sorry gentlemen, but the only way to truly determine Best
PrincessRoyalty is the time-honored method:Cage Match!
Oh yeah, and no Skyla fics at all? I may need to correct that situation.

I'm pretty sure there are some Skyla fics. They just don't have her name in the title.

Yeah, the author inclusion was more or less deliberate. Gotta see how popular a princess is in how many authors use them in their screennames after all.
