5898867 Haven't read that one yet. Is that FoE:FoE?
Anyways, this is going to be a little different from the other entries, as you can probably guess from the title.
I'm keeping it as close to canon (which means editing my finished chapters to fit), but there is a certain element that ncn didn't approve of having in his/her fan works or canon folders. Keep reading to find out what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean too, when you say "personal issues". FoE, except for possibly "Bruised Apples" as it stands now, really conflicts with my personal and professional ethics.
Until recently, I thought that ncn might possibly make an ending that isn't... as dark as it the story is now, but my recent conversations make me really doubt that.
That said, I have been thinking about 5892551 's arguments in ncn's defense and I wonder if there is a particular theme or argument that he/she is making.
That said, I have no intention to stop reading the canon story, as it does have a certain degree of suspense, and I would like to see where it leads.
Who knows, perhaps I'm wrong about ncn's intentions about the endings, and the canon ending will be even better than mine.
So you're breaking this off as a collaboration with NCN?
I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Disappointed because I had hoped that NCN had softened somewhat in his attitude toward there being a hopeful conclusion to his universe.
However. This does give you more freedom to play with.
I am curious. Did the most recent chapter of Bruised Apples inspire you to actually start working on this project?
because after reading that chapter I found myself actually plotting story lines in my head for FOE for the first time, centering around the hidden resistance and the idea that you might have some groups of ponies play-acting they are good masters and slaves in order to stay under the radar while waiting for a chance, and chance, to change things.
everyone claims that what they don't like the hopelessness of FoE. Meanwhile stories like Besides the Will of Evil get tons up upvotes despite reviewers basically telling the writer that they don't believe there can be a happy ending the way he's going. And Alex Warlorn recently posted a story where the Mane 6 get brainwashed by Starlight Glimmer and effectively begin spreading the equality cutie mark in a way that says they won't lose. It's very popular.
The difference between these stories is that mares don't have to call themselves cunts
5900607 I had actually been thinking about doing this for a while, but Bruised Apples is what pushed me to actually write it. 5900782 I haven't heard of those, although I get the impression that they aren't clop and don't have mutilation, beatings, and rape.

....But I doubt it.
One thing that does bother me is that people keep voting this down before I really get the story moving- I'm just setting it up right now.
Oh well, that is what 5891918 warned me about, and I really didn't expect any less....
