Darthvalgaav here somewhat better now.
I think I should start by apologizing for my earlier actions. I won't go into the full details other than my wife has been worried that I am stretching myself too thin in order to do everything for the holidays this year and I passed out at work.
Thankfully I wasn't fired or run over by a hi low.
So, I wasn't in the right frame of mind earlier today. Looking back I am not proud of how I acted. But now that I have gotten a lot of rest, fluids, and angry glares from my better half I am feeling somewhat better. As some of you may have noticed, I have even gone and changed the latest chapter a bit.
I was wondering what was with all of that. So, in order...
Well, thank you for the explanation.
Don't do that, it's bad.
I hope you feel better by tomorrow.
I'm glad to see that you'll continue writing, I rather do like your work.
Merry Christmas!
Just finished the rewritten chapter and much better, still has some of the same problems, but now it feels a little less lazy cliche.
I still strongly suggest you do more research into how CPS works before going forward with the next chapter. Even if you don't use their rules exactly, understanding how they do things and why can help you build a better narrative going forward.
Also in the future when you have real life important stuff, focus on that and put the pony-words on the back burner. No fandom/fanfic is worth stressing yourself and your family over.
I've removed my down vote, just please take your time on the next chapter, make sure its something you can be proud of.
I'm really sorry that the criticism made you feel so upset, I promise that i comes from a place of love- everyone was upset because they felt you'd made a mistake in writing it, but they loved your work in general, which is what made them upset on seeing what they saw as a mistake. I'm happy to hear you're feeling better, and I hope you have a good christmas.
For what it's worth, the changes you made turned Bubbles from a strange villain out of no where to a public official doing what he's supposed to, and gave the story more direction, in my opinion, solving all the problems people had masterfully. I'm looking forward to the next chapter a lot more now(not that I was ever going to not read it before).
Oh, and be careful with the passing out. Don't underestimate how big a deal that could be- I don't know you well enough to know if it's just exhaustion, but you should take it easy and step away from anything that stresses you out for a while, you know damn well what could have happened if you were less lucky.
Every time I see a Sisters update, it brightens my day. So... Thank you.
Oh dear! I hope you feel better. Have a lovely holiday with your wife.
Don't trouble yourself with anything that's happened with your story! Focus on real life. All will be well!
I wasn't really involved (I've not been reading the particular story), but I'm sorry you were having those troubles and am glad you're doing better now (and didn't get fired or run over).
Uh? You could be FIRED for something that you don't have a control on like passing out?
It’s fine. Friendship solves all problems!!!
Take it easy and remember this is your story. Not mine, not anyone else's. As my father told a nosey neighbor one time " yes I know it's wrong, but I want it that way!", funny that was the last time he tried to tell my dad how to do something.
You should see a doctor. Passing out can have many causes like lack of sleep, poor diet or even stress or bad standing posture, but it's always better to be safe and get a check up. I passed out at work and didn't do anything about it, then six months later passed out at a friends bday lunch and our mutual friend who is a paramedic guilted me into getting a check up. Turns out I had high blood pressure and a blockage in my neck. I was very close to a stroke which causes all types of bad stuff even if you live. So best to set an appointment and talk about it with a doctor.
The holidays are stressful for everyone, including Darth. Best wishes that the rest of it treats you and your wife well, from me and mine.
Hope you get the help you need
i’m glad you changed your mind about the story.
just remember that you have faithful readers willing to fight the negative comments and are concerned for you while you recover.
I'm glad you are better hope you try not do 5hat again I would prefer if you look after yourself and wait for the stuff you write
Oh thank god, 'Sisters' will continue & I'm so sorry for all harsh criticism from those "readers" who don't know how hurtful words can truly be, especially around the holidays. Hopefully with the rewrite version of ch. 4, things will cool down & we can enjoy your masterpiece without any problems again. Merry Christmas Darth & again I'm so sorry you hurt by all those negative comments.
Most importantly, it’s good to hear you feel better.
Now, on your fanfic, I liked the chapter as it was, but the new version is very good too!
I’ll eagerly await to read how Twilight and Scootaloo will deal with that mess.
Glad to see you continuing the story, and your wife may have been right, it sounds like you were wearing yourself out there. Anyways, cant wait to read the next chapter, after I read the altered one of course.
Good to hear you're feeling better, in multiple ways.

I work in a factory. If it looked like I was sleeping on the job, I'm out
So very glad to hear you're doing better. Don't take this the wrong way please, but your health is even more important than a story here, even if it's one that's been so enjoyable for so many.
Good to hear, hope you're feeling better!
Don't push yourself too hard, dude. We'll be alright with a slower schedule, even if some will complain.
We understand, and I doubt that anyone here really blames you for being a bit stressed out.
P.S. I see that you've changed Sisters!?! from "Canceled" status, to "Incomplete", so hopefully that means that you'll be continuing it. It's a unique "Orphan" Scootaloo story that I've come to enjoy reading. Keep up the good work, and hopefully we'll see more updates on it (at your convenience, of course).
I can't wait for the new chapter.
Nice to know you’re feeling better.
Glad you're feeling better. I've rreally enjoyed your sisters fanfiction and can't wait to see where it goes.

Amen. Quality over quantity.
