    Afternoon/evening folks!

    Sorry I haven't been checking in as often as I should; rest assured I'm not dead, I'm still here, just been silent as of late. Still working on fics, but also constantly debating with myself on what to focus on next, wanted to make some new stuff that isn't just Shattered or Star Wars. Wanna bring more folks in, do somethin' new.

Pros And Cons: A Shattered Rainbow Rock · 1:14pm Apr 3rd, 2018

Okay, so a lot of people are wondering about me doing more of the universe for the future. And believe me... I seriously want to write more in this universe. :pinkiehappy:

But before I can even get down to it, there's something I need to evaluate first. Pros Vs Cons. I know that a lot of you liked the story, but I sincerely doubt that there wasn't a single moment in the story that bothered you. So, if its all okay with you guys, I'd like you guys to list some pros and cons. What do you think worked, what do you think didn't work? Good and bad. You get me? :twilightsheepish:

So if you guys can, tell me what you think was good, and what was bad. I am more than willing to listen, and I do want to get better. :twilightsmile:

I've been trying to come up with some cons for constructive criticism, but it's been kind of hard, honestly. XD

I just really, really enjoyed A Shattered Rainbow Rock. I loved your characterization of the heroic Sirens, I liked a lot of what you did with the other girls... and that climactic battle was ****ing awesome :pinkiehappy:

Probably my biggest worry, if I were to name something about doing a continuation of this universe, would be to do with handling the Rainbooms. Villain reformation is a very tricky business, and I know that some readers of the story already thought they got off too lightly. If you bring them back for another story to show them trying to change or make amends, that'd take some careful work to avoid splitting the reader base.

But still, I'm pretty confident you'll pull it off. I just - rarely have I ever been so entertained and happy to see a story I followed update. ^_^ That really says something, I think.

CoN: this is a shattered universes, everything stays the same. same with transformers, Autobots are winning in the normal one and there winning in the shattered universe.

If I had to name one con. (or two) it would be that First we did not get to see Star Swirl get his comeuppances for his actions against the Sirens who were clearly peaceful.

Second. I would have like to see the end result Equestria side from his actions. Meaning how does the town that took the Sirens in react to Star Swirl. I do not see them acting favorably towards him

Haven't read it, so I don't have an actual con, or pro.

Okay, what you need to work on.

Villain reformation. Not an easy thing to do, as I know several people (Possibly loving the Sirens a little too much I fear and missing the entire point of the fic and show itself, which is Friendship is Magic) already despise the Rainbooms, despite a few having some sympathetic qualities and others blackmailed into helping Sunset.

Also, a few members of Trixie's friend base could have their characters expanded on a bit more, I think. I mean, where did Lyra's love for Japan come from?

CSC

The Rainbitches. You're going to need a lot of work of work on them.

Also, we never got to read Starswirl's reason for banishing the sirens.

I know you've heard it all before, but that's all I got.

I'd give Shattered Rainbow Rock a 9.5 out of 10. Your best work so far.

How so ?


Edit: Wait, you mean the show or this story ?

In this story. The Siren sisters had been welcomed into a small village/town and liked by the villagers. As such when Star Swirl attacked the Sisters he was effectively attacking residence of the village
