Really Could Use Y'all's Opinion... · 2:55am Jul 13th, 2018
With the recent rewrite of Dark Sunset, the last update of the semi-dark Spring Has Sprung, the upcoming release of Muted Wubs and the in-progress rewrite of It's Time To Leave, I was thinking about going back to the darker roots of the SciTwi Shimmer Chronicles following the completion of NAS(Car)-Tunes.
It wouldn't necessarily be magic-based like a failed experiment (*cough* Relapse *cough*) I wrote earlier. More like something causing Sunset to slip back into a depression like in Am I Really Their Friend and It's Time To Leave.
What do y'all think?
So, what do you mean by "roots of the series"? Do you mean going back to Am I Really Their Friend? and rewriting that? Or do you mean adding in an Anon-A-Miss story before that to better set up the story?
I like the idea. Relapse is common for suicidal people.

I'm thinking of bringing Sunset's depression back for a sad SoL fic. Possibly incorporate some elements of Forgotten Friendship in it.
Eventually that will be getting rewritten.
I was never really a fan of the Anon-A-Miss trope, honestly. Although now that I think about it, I might could use bits and pieces of it as setting up a fic.

Okay. I wasn't sure I was understanding correctly. That'd be an interesting thing to explore. In the aftermath of Wallflower Blush's defeat, Sunset gets hit with the emotional impact of the situation once the adrenaline wares off, and perhaps calls SciTwi and Flutters/Rarity so she won't be alone with the depression and won't spread it to SciTwi (I remember Scars).
Even if you're not a fan of the A-A-M trope, that could help as extra elements for the AIRTF? rewrite; as both happen after Rainbow Rocks (I know it's dumb, but A-A-M in the IDW comics is canonically placed after EG2). Just as something to mention in her mental ramblings, even if you stick to the canon version.
