A thank you · 3:48pm Feb 24th, 2021
I just want to say thank you for all those who have posted nice comments on an AppleDash Wedding. My confidence is fragile and to see it get so many thumbs down with no explanation why has hit me quite a bit, probably people don't like my ship or killing of Celestia, but trust me it will make sense soon, I mean for one, a certain teacher will be retiring at the end of the second year and I'm already thinking somepony will be taking over from them, teaser! Anyway, one more thing, I can either hold everything I write from now until the end of March or I can drop new chapters when they are written for book two, you decide, year two is going to be fun, already wrote 1500 words in one evening! out of context 300 word Snippet below.
“Eugh, close the curtains Aunt Molly, it’s too bright and too early,” Scootaloo groaned pulling her duvet covers over her head.
Molly abruptly came over, pulled them off and chucked a freezing bucket of water over her niece.
Scootaloo screamed.
“Wet pussy,” Wally cackled appearing from out of the void.
“You’re pushing your luck bird,” Molly growled, glaring at the pesky ghost pirate parrot.
“Psycho ginger. I’m out of here,” the bird cawed once more before disappearing.
Molly turned her attention to her niece who was sitting up in her bed shivering profusely. “Good, glad that got your attention,” she said sternly before going on. “You are going straight into the bathroom, having a shower and sorting those wings of yours out. Then, you are going to have some breakfast and go for a fly. Finally, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, you are going to be spending the day with Fred and George, whether you like it or not, as they have requested your assistance for goodness knows what,” she finished dragging her sodden and stunned niece out of her bed by her ear and onto the floor.
Slowly Scootaloo dragged herself from the floor and off to the bathroom. Even she was smart enough to know not to argue with her aunt and that Molly’s word was law in this house, no matter what.
Apple Bloom had already shot out of her bed and was standing to attention looking up at Molly like a frightened puppy who’s just chewed the brand-new furniture.
“Glad to see someone has got the message. Get dressed dear, me and you are going to be having some fun with some help from Wallace after breakfast,” Molly said with a smile.
Ooh, nice snippet!
And just ignore the haters, it's what I'm choosing to do with my latest story. You have your reasons for doing what you did in the story, you're happy with how it turned out, and that's what matters
Nice what you have here. I hope you don't make us wait till the end of march.
Anyway, about those that downvoted the AppleDash wedding, just ignore them.

Thanks to both of you! I just wish they'd at least tell me what they disliked. You can only improve if you have feedback. Feedback noted and I'll get the first chapter out probably within the next week max! I'm on a roll right now.

True, and ooh, can't wait to see the first chapter
Author, I voted it down.
I liked the original story, and I was interested to see where it was going... and honestly I still am.
It’s not the ship. AJ And RD are fine. Hell Discord and Flutters is cute as hell.
It was the Discord thing that was beyond the pale and even darker than celestia’s assassination. Impaired people cannot give consent.
If this story were a chapter of the main story, the story wouldn’t have earned a downvote. Though, I would definitely have questioned where you going.
I already thought that Scoots started jumping the shark towards the end of the main story, I’m already apprehensive about the next story, but I’ll Read along to see how it goes.
Keep writing, and learn from this.
I’ll stick around until I just can’t.
Or ignore the criticism and continue to only appreciate those who only “post nice comments”.
Your choice.

Thank you very much for your comments. This helps me a lot and I'm sorry about the Discord thing. I see where you are coming from and just to make it clear by the time anything happened they were all pretty out of it, thus I doubt any of them could have given consent. I was pretty constrained by the end of the first book trying as I might to stick to the book which was impacting what I could write and thus my motivation towards the end. I'm learning all the time and am planning on toning down book two a lot and it will deviate from canon a lot more. There will be a shock at the start of the year but then it will be slice of life stuff and just general comedic shenanigans. There is a lot more content lessons wise I can take and write about in year two and I'm hopeful a more relaxed cheerful yearn or two will be to everyone's liking saving any more shocks and horrors till year 4 plus.
I'd also like to state I will never only take in the nice comments. None of what I'm writing is scripted and I'm basically writing on a whim trying to make everything fit together. Thank you so much once more for your feedback and if you have any ideas you'd like to see implemented, let me know, I'll always try and accommodate ideas where I can.
