I hate retcons. Seriously, it makes it seem like I'm not paying attention. I recently retconned a small section of chapter 3 of "The price of wings" but it isn't because I made a mistake, it's because I started adding to the story. See, it's nice and all, but I added in a plot point that'll come into play a bit later but it is also a secret from the main character, so it didn't make sense that it wouldn't get at least partially mentioned and/or hinted at when the two 'in the know' characters

So, there is considerable anticipation over what will happen in season 4 (if you actually have to ask "season 4 of what?" then you're not paying attention are you). But I wanted to make a list of things that I DON'T want to see.

1, Death: While I know it seems in canon (but I don't know where) that AJ's parents are dead, and in some ways I'd actually like to see what happened to them. At the same time I don't want to see somepony actually die. That's a no-no

While browsing Youtube I came across somepony's interpretation of the elements and mentioned an argument that Applejack isn't really the element of honesty, at least not nearly as much as RD is. This got me thinking and I realized that I disagreed but I had to define my thoughts into HOW I disagreed.

So anyway, I was... You know what? I can't. I was going to make some long rant about others who complain about things (to me) and specifically about those who complain and DON'T offer any solutions to their problems or ask for help, and REALLY about those who complain using the absolute WORST assumptions possible. This particularly irks me becuase I get that enough at home as it is. But I can't really complain about any of that... without making a blog that is exactly what I'm complaining

So, like I know that I said that Twain was primarily a horror story but for the life of me, I couldn't keep it that way. This happened for two reasons, first off, unless I wanted to start diving deeper into the sense of fears, horror and death and stuff (probably passing the grimdark horizon along the way) it would be very hard to keep it a horror story at all. Secondly, whether it was still a horror story or not the second chapter was pretty much doomed to be lighter than the first chapter

I know some people were hoping for Twain chapter 2 (it's coming, I'm working on it now) but TPoW was already open and I was still working on it and the more that I worked on it the more and more I wanted to finish it. You guys have no idea how much this chapter changed. Originally I wanted the "reports" to imitate Twilight's letters to Celestia and I was going to slowly reveal that it wasn't her, revealing the true writer gradually. Several steps and a few evolutions later and I finally came

I like reading a good story, even if it's just fanfic sometimes. Often, when I'm reading a story, if it's written well enough it can put a kind of "trance" on me. Not a trance like a zombie-state or like a hypnotic "yes master, whatever you want master" kind of trance. No, the kind of trance where I can't peel away from the story until I realize that I can't take it anymore and run away to get some air and break my mind away from the all encompasing world of the story.

Just so anybody knows, becuase my computer starts slowing down once the text gets past the actual screen size for writing these blogs and stuff, I write these things in an unsaved notepad and then cut/paste into the thing directly. I dunno if anybody else has this problem but I figured if Twain isn't entertaining enough to post about then having some other side topic couldn't hurt.

So, with Twilights ascention into alicornhood there has been some discussion about immortality and stuff. I figure that for all it's worth I should throw in my own two cents and see what it buys me.
