Is it odd that I very much prefer stories back from before...I probably wanna say the ending of Season 3?
Everything felt far more varied and creative, whereas - to me, at least - it feels like every story nowadays is a rehash of something done five years ago in some vain attempt to capture the same feeling, and it just falls flat.
Trying to conform to the show's ...er... continuity rarely seems to go well, and much like the show itself, most of the better fics are ones without the Main 6 in them.
More side characters interacting with one another, doing something not related to whatever the show is in the middle of, something original.
Or maybe sitting through yet another canon rehash, but with a human take on things rather than a pastel-colored, magic-powered, vaguely horse-shaped alien is what people enjoy.
You do you, I'll do me, and we'll hopefully not do each other, because that way lies incomprehensible nonsense that nobody enjoys.
