    Season 9 Retrospective

    Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    I need to write this while the emotions of the finale are still fresh in my mind. Though the stories will continue in the comics (and countless fanfics, I'm sure), this is truly the end of an animation era. So, as a final season, did it go out with a bang, or a whimper? Follow me below the break to see my take.

    Random Thoughts: The Beginning of the End

    Mama pajama, that was a rush. I really feel like something was rekindled here. Season 8 was alright, but I will admit it didn't have the same energy that made me fall in love with this show. This episode, however, had that energy in spades. Follow me below the break as I just gush a bit on what an epic season opener this was.

    Season 8 Retrospective

    Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    Welp, that was fun, huh? I know for most of you, the season ended earlier thanks to the Australian broadcast, but I didn't have the luxury of checking that out. Also, I'd rather do things by the book.

    Random Thoughts: The Washouts

    Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    Let me just start off by saying great googily moogily, what a weekend this was! I thought Season 7 had scheduling problems, but this was just insane! Well, at least it's still trackable. Unlike some other shows I can mention *cough*TheLoudHouse*cough*.

So, about the new warning tags... · 10:14pm Dec 20th, 2017

Apparently, my MLI stories are just going to have to go without, because they're already pushing the genre tag limit. I guess it only applies if it's serious or integral to the story, but I dunno. Any advice would be appreciated. :applejackunsure:

I'd get rid of random, as the collection of stories doesn't perfectly fit that genre of stories as defined by FiMFiction, and maybe replace it with Thriller. As for warning tags, it's up to you whether you want to include stuff like violence or death, though leaving them out if they're not a prominent theme or spoil something essential is another option. That's just my opinion, but do what you think is best. :twilightsmile:

The Random tag is more for the world-building tangents that the characters in each story go on. That and I wrote these stories back before the Mystery tag was a thing. :twilightblush:

Me personally, I'm just thinking of ignoring the new warning tags altogether and putting the appropriate warnings in the story description.

Yeah, that's kinda what I've been doing for my stories, and it's worked fine for me. Then again, I don't really delve into the dark stuff that often. According to the potential warnings, the worst I've ever done is having Night Glider contemplate suicide in Social Confinement. That tag I might keep, but for the rest, the description seems to suffice.

While I'm glad there's warning things, what baffles me is that they decided to not color the genre tags.
