So... I screwed up. · 12:42pm Jun 5th, 2021
So here's the issue. I try to pride myself on adding as much realism to my stories as possible, so if I write a character with a condition or disorder, I try my best to make it realisitic. That being said, the main character of All Smoke, No Mirrors has a certain condition I don't want to spoil.
I've been doing a lot of research on it, and the person who's been helping me, who knows a lot about this certain thing, has basically let me know some of the things I assumed were completely wrong.
And I need to re-write.
I'm gonna do my best to make this condition realisitic, but I already screwed up. The main character's appearing how she did was the screw up.
So if you're okay with some suspension of disbelief, I can continue. I will do my best to make it solid and push them out at least weekly, if not sooner. Just know that I haven't quit working on the story. It just hit a certain... detour.
You also write about disabilities? Cool, I also write about disabilities
I'm good with suspension of disbelief.
i can suspend but if you wanna go for the realistic approach you can
I write about conditions too. If you spend all your time trying to 100% accurately transcribe human conditions onto ponies you’re gonna make yourself nuts (which I am unfortunately doing right now). As long as you aren’t omitting a crucial aspect of the ailment (like, you’ve written a broken leg. You’re GONNA need some kind of splint/wrap/cast), I’m fine with a little suspension of disbelief.
Supongo que sí no es una gran diferencia podria pasar desapercibido, pero tentria que saber cual es la discapacidad y en qué te equivocaste para estar decidir si aconsejarte re-escribir o seguir adelante
No problems here whatsoever, suspension of disbelief is perfectly fine.
I need to get to reading it, just been busy with my own stuff...
This is perfectly fine since you already acknowledged the anomaly.

And here we're dealing with someone who's just had their consciousness shoved into a whole new body with a whole new brain. There's no reason to expect that they'll behave exactly as they would in their old human body.
I saw nothing strange, don't eat yourself alive over background minutiae.
I honestly don't see a problem. But this is your show. A little suspension of disbelief is fine, I mean shes a Kirin and not human right now
That's fixable. Something like that happened with Somber's Blackjack from Fallout Equestria when someone good in psychology wrote a analisys of how BJ actually was screwed up by living in that hellish vault, er, stable. Depending what it is, it could be reportrayed as a fog of personal perception - first person mode allows that, i.e. protagonist either was unaware of something about themselves, had delusion, memory gaps, etc. And then had been enlightened, by someone's intervention. If not possible, some miniature retconning this early in story may help.

I appreciate the response, but the screwup has nothing to do with perspective. It has to do with me misunderstanding the disorder.
