Irreversible: Minor Fix · 9:27am Jul 4th, 2017
I didn't think through the "lots of bad stories have OP OC characters compared to Twilight" angle of Irreversible, probably because I neither read nor write stories of that sort. This was an unfortunate oversight, especially since Eclipse's powers aren't super-relevant to the story.
"I mean, come on! She's just so edgy!"
With that in mind, I've tweaked the description slightly and pulled back a little on the glowiness of the OC in the first chapter. I'd go much further than this in retrospect, but I'm not going to radically alter a story after publication even if it would improve the odds of a feature.
Expect new chapters soon. 
One of the reasons I like this tale so much is that I know what's coming.

What prompted the change?
There is only one comment regarding his power, as far as I can see. Granted, I had thought about the issue as soon as I read the description too, but I didn't say anything. Did people contact you via PM or something?

No, I just chatted with some writers over Discord, and thought a little on it. The small number of viewers was disappointing, and there were more downhooves than expected early on.
You made the right choice imo, since that kind of thing does turn readers off. After all you're not altering the story, just being conscious of your audience. In that regard I think the synopses is much better now. ^.^

Yeah, it's too late though. It ain't gonna feature, and the user view is so underwhelmingly low I'm actually tempted to cancel it. But I really like the story I have planned, so I'll definitely stick it out.
It's a labor of love.

That sucks :/
Well, like you said, a labor of love. :) I'm looking forward to reading it. I do hope you don't cancel it.
You're already featured, at least for those with the mature stories filter on.
It looks like you're not there anymore, but I think the next time you update it should show up in the bottom 3, since those are reserved for previously featured stories.

Neat, thanks for the info!
(The M filter doesn't really count, though. Too many ponies have it turned off.)

Sorry! It's in my queue to read later, but I was going to wait until it's finished before I start reading. I don't like to read incomplete works unless they're more of an anthology kinda deal where each chapter's its own self-contained story

It's fine! I'm not blaming my watchers for low numbers.
