Supposedly there was a bunch of flaws in it's technical writing, but you know what? I didn't even notice. So immersed I was in the story.<br />I also somehow completely skipped chapter 11 and apparently didn't miss anything important. I wonder what that implies... Anyway!<br /><br />But then the revision came. I re-read the story and found myself grumbling at every revision I noticed. It just seemed worse for a number of reasons you mentioned. You know what else is interesting?<br /><br />"From about chapter 13 on, a steadily increasing number of missing words, homonym errors, and similar mistakes are present."<br /><br />That's coincidentally as far as the original version got before it was revised. And I really didn't like how it ended at all.<br /><br />I guess I also didn't notice that the characters were one-dimensional. That's something that certainly didn't change, But when I think back on it, I suppose there's only two characters that really stand out in my memory and that is Celestia, probably because I'm hideously biased toward Tyrant Celestia, and The Guard Captain! Even though he was in one small scene, Holy crap, I was rooting for that guy! Sadly, he was taken out completely.<br /><br />Love your review regardless.<br /><br /><br /><br />On an unrelated note, I just found your blog today and holy crud I enjoy reading it! This is probably because I've always wanted someone to discuss fanfiction with and so very few are willing to go in depth about it. And it seems we agree on a lot of things.DeftFunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383241789583487786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-82061865827421958982012-08-30T05:32:11.291-05:002012-08-30T05:32:11.291-05:00So, now that PS has been updated, any plans to re-...So, now that PS has been updated, any plans to re-review or at least reread it?

I don't add points to story for having proper spelling and grammar, as that's to be expected in every written work, but I WILL deal harshly with those authors who are too lazy to even perform basic editing tasks.<br /><br />I have submitted only one small snippet of a tale to FIMFiction, "Discord and the Doctor", which is essentially an epilogue to a much longer story idea I have, but which I may never have time to put effort into writing. And you can be sure that if nothing else, it is technically flawless. That's simply how school taught me to write. But I have noticed the extraordinary slippage in grading standards in classrooms these days... churning out high school graduates that in my day would qualify as functionally illiterate.

I'm SO sick of the "Boo-hoo! I'm immortal and I hate myself!" nihilistic BS!! <br /><br />So yeah, I gave her characterization a HUGE pass because it was one of the few longer fics at the time which didn't go down that illogical angst-ridden road. <br /><br />I too read the major revision version (during Hurricane Irene... I read the entire story in 13 hours. About the time it takes me to read "Fellowship of the Ring". I'm a hyper-speed reader.), and from what I've heard, I would have hated the original version.<br /><br />The ending was very poorly conceived. The monster battle was aggravating, and the loss of Nyx's memories utterly pointless as it totally negated everything she went through. All her growth as a character was erased, without any passably plausible reason. <br /><br />However, up to the end I enjoyed it quite a bit, and the reason I call for it to be a movie is that its story is one that would translate very well to the screen. It has a very cinematic structure to it, including many elements which would be well-suited to visual representation. Also, its story can be easily compressed into a roughly 2-hour format, I believe, eliminating all the unnecessary bits.<br /><br />And Fluttershy is clearly a tree.

I can sum up my feelings for this story simply as the following:<br /><br />I liked it.<br /><br />When I read PS it was on its first iteration. The first great drought had begun and I was hungry for pony fanfiction. Like so many others I was drawn in by the cover art. It was early in the life of this fic and I became hook on the story that was being told. Nyx didn't have cry-baby flaw built in so I really like her but more so I truly enjoyed the "dawww" moments as the relationship was built in between Twilight and Nyx. <br /><br />I followed the story closely. And I will be honest, I remember being very excited as new chapters came out. Not because it was this "Perfect fanfiction" that many had made it out to be. Rather, I really wanted to know what was going to happen. <br /><br />I was frustrated by many of the revisions that were made. Many were made to pasify those that cried "Mary-sue!" and "OOC!". As Chris said above, it felt disrespectful to those of us who read it in its original version. Some changes I did like were those that added content, like the fight between Luna and NMM. <br /><br />As the story progressed after the first revision, I continued to read but not as closely as before. Finally the ending came.<br /><br />It left me feeling unsatisfied. Not only the memory thing but also the part where it took her from being an adult to being a child. I had really enjoyed Nyx's character development in the later chapters and when she was turned into a child again, I felt like all that was really lost. <br /><br />So yes, this story has had its share of flaws. And I really wished he wouldn't have made any changes, but I still enjoyed the plot of the story.EmeraldPagehttp://emeraldpage.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-81608178115373114532012-06-11T05:01:43.493-05:002012-06-11T05:01:43.493-05:00I had quite enough gender-switching shenanigans in...I had quite enough gender-switching shenanigans in <i>Out in the Cold</i> thank you very much.

And let's face it, the first draft of <i>Past Sins</i> was not good. It was actually many times worse than how it ended up, and I am still amazed it was posted in such a condition.<br /><br />However, there is a point where you just have to stop and walk away. Pen Stroke and Batty Gloom need to realize that very few will be willing to re-read <i>Past Sins</i>, and they are not likely to find many new converts even amongst new pony fans. In fact, I think one of the things bronies get in every welcome basket is a copy of this fic to peruse.<br /><br />And changing a story to fit changes in the canon, after it's sat for months complete, is a losing battle. Whenever you write fan fiction, and you try to indulge in any sort of world building, you gamble that DHX or Hasbro won't kick over what you're trying to create. You can't keep changing your story to fit every single thing that Hasbro throws your way. At some point, you'll just have to throw up your hands and move on with your life.InsertAuthorHerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563861820054827515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-27259132826322815782012-06-10T19:24:41.961-05:002012-06-10T19:24:41.961-05:00If you mean Progress (which is what Luna Vs.

Since the reviews are done based on whatever chronological order they appear in on EqD, then Progress wouldn't be reviewed until he gets to the late '11s/early '12s. That's assuming the story's still being updated; as far as I can tell, the author's pretty much put the thing on the backburner and is working on other stuff.<br /><br />A shame, because I really liked it back in the day, even if it pulled a Simpsons and long outstayed its welcome. I even still enjoy the first three stories and first half of "Luna vs. Ponyville," as well as the fan stories "Luna vs. Threesomes" and "Celestia vs. Time."InsertAuthorHerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563861820054827515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-56147596388815268912012-06-10T19:17:40.388-05:002012-06-10T19:17:40.388-05:00Heh . . .

On the positive side, the concepts that I thought were quite clever were introducing the nigh-verboten OC “alicorn” (note that I <i>really despise</i> that word as a name for a winged unicorn) into the story in the manner which produced Nyx; and Spell Nexus’ possession by the core malice of Nightmare Moon, and how it was used to infect other ponies to create the Children of Nightmare. The portions I found grating upon my nerves were what I usually refer to as “fanfiction traps:” the (over)use of direct quotes/jokes from the source property (RD saying “20 percent cooler,” Fluttershy being turned into a tree), fandom memes (Pinkie Pie breaking the 4th wall by “reading the transcript”), or liberties taken which could be viewed as gross misinterpretations of the source material (Twilight’s “rage shifts”—if you’ve ever heard of a “take” as an animation term, you might see why this bothered me). The balance of these pros and cons came through as additional stumbling blocks that kept me from truly enjoying the story.<br /><br />In the end, I really had to force myself to finish reading this, and did so just to say I gave it a fair shake. But, as I think back on it, I didn’t really <i>hate</i> this story, simply because there were some bits of good meat to be found on its bones, most of which were already described by Chris. As such, I feel comfortable in agreeing with Chris that <i>Past Sins</i> is neither excellent nor horrible; rather, I’d classify it as “average fanfiction” that rests right at the top of the bell curve of all fics I’ve read throughout my years. It was neither impressive or garbage, just average. <br /><br />And now, some comments from me as a writer. If you’re not interested, stop reading here:<br />--------<br />I believe that Pen Stroke and Batty Gloom are a couple of genuinely creative people, and they should take pride in that fact. <i>Past Sins</i>, however, is not a good example of that creativity, and while I can certainly understand the desire to return to a released fic and try to improve it, I believe doing so is nothing more than a waste of the authors’ time at this point.<br /><br />That time would be better spent taking any and all lessons learned from this story and applying them to future releases. All reviews, rants, raves, etc., on this story have provided them with a HUGE amount of valuable feedback—the kind that I would have killed to get my hands on in my pre-Internet days—which can be used to improve their craft, but there’s really no reason to try and apply those <i>here</i>. I suggest they consider <i>Past Sins</i> done and dusted, and move forward. If either of them are completely bothered by the fact that this story isn’t perfect, they should bear in mind that there’s no such thing as a “perfect” story, just as there’s absolutely no way to please <i>every reader</i>. Besides, since this story was already released as complete, any future changes to it aren’t going to carry the same impression on readers as new stories would, and if attempting to improve <i>PS’</i> reputation is a goal, it simply won’t work, at least not in the capacity that I think the authors might believe.WTFHIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473180919661393759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-28753293670023196552012-06-10T17:39:57.445-05:002012-06-10T17:39:57.445-05:00Looks like I’m late to the party again. Oh well. ....Looks like I’m late to the party again. Oh well. . . . Here I go anyway.<br /><br />Against my better judgment, I allowed myself to read this story, and for the very reason Chris stated in his recommendation section: There was simply too much contention over this fic for me to continue to ignore it, and my desire to determine for myself if it was anywhere near as good or bad as people claimed became too strong.<br /><br />Note that when I say, “Against my better judgment,” I mean that this type of story—an interpretation/imagining of Nightmare Moon, and therefore Luna by association—is the kind I specifically avoid to sidestep any accidental influence on my own work in progress. The good news (for me, that is) was that the characterizations of “Nightmare Moon” and Luna in <i>Past Sins</i> were vastly different than what I’ve imagined for LGT, so any worries I may have had about this story having an influence on mine were allayed. Now, because I do have my own perspective on those characterizations as a writer, and because Chris did a damn fine job summing up the other characters used in the story, there’s nothing I have to add on this front that would be of any value to anyone. So, considering the usual quality of Chris’ review and the other comments already made here, the only thing I have to add which <i>could be</i> valuable is my experience with this fic as a reader, rather than a writer.<br /><br />I should state that I read the “Version 2” PDF released last August rather than any of the GDocs, so I haven’t had any direct exposure to the revisions that seemed to cause one of the many uproars. Also, due to the amount of static floating around the fandom which inspired me to read this in the first place, I started in on it with a kinder eye than I would have if I chose to read a story purely for entertainment, since I prefer to give an author the benefit of a greater doubt when so much vitriol’s in the air.<br /><br />However, due to the rough grammar and high amounts of redundancy throughout the prose, my softened view had evaporated by the time I’d finished chapter 1, and from that point forward, I found myself having to work at reading the story rather than simply being able to enjoy it. Good editing can mean the difference between a reader’s eyes cruising through a story at a comfortable pace or tripping over old cobblestones, and mine stumbled a great deal as I read on, damaging the impact that the narrative could have had if the writing quality was higher.WTFHIWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473180919661393759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-87590572491849404862012-06-10T17:39:37.315-05:002012-06-10T17:39:37.315-05:00So, something that confuses me: are you not review...So, something that confuses me: are you not reviewing Luna Vs?

That first scene, for instance, where we start firmly in the villain's point of view. There's no mystery, no suspense, no wondering who these mysterious ponies are, none of that. For me, the scene needs to be in Twilight's POV: we need to come slowly to consciousness with her in the first paragraph, feel her confusion as to where she is and what's going on, her mounting panic as she realizes she's tied up--then the bag gets pulled off her head, and we get out first sight of the cultists through her eyes.<br /><br />Scene after scene, I just couldn't stop gritting my teeth at the structural and narrative choices the author was making, so I just stopped reading and haven't been back since....<br /><br />MikeAugieDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335437708896110261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-9854073960670065052012-06-08T23:05:45.940-05:002012-06-08T23:05:45.940-05:00"(I understand that her actions were slightly..."(I understand that her actions were slightly different, and less justified, in an earliest version, but I'm going by what I read)."<br /><br />Yeah, FYI, in the original version they were going to kill Nyx if the spell revealed she really was Nightmare Moon.<br /><br />Original version was much better, IMO.Cold in Gardezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447980928221472313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-91419079350455920952012-06-08T20:23:49.410-05:002012-06-08T20:23:49.410-05:00Interestingly, your opening notes reflect precisel...Interestingly, your opening notes reflect precisely my knowledge/opinion of this story.

Once before the revision, once after the revision, and then I went through the unrevised version again during its /fic/ MST.<br /><br />Based on that version, "chirped" ain't got nothing on "offered". I also remember uncanny amounts of LUS, a few odd uses of "utterly", general needless wordiness and a lot of typos. It's not unreadably bad, but it's definitely nowhere near well-written.<br /><br />I've always felt that this fic suffered most from Pen's desire to give his fans what they say they want. Nyx frustrated me as a character because even as Nightmare Nyx, she never did anything except mope, because having Nyx doing something even slightly interesting/evil would have made her less cute. So we got a bunch of chapters of her whining so that her cuteness could be retained. I found that really insufferable.<br /><br />As I recall, most of the changes to Nyx's characterisation in the first revision were scattered references to her being a "crybaby". The blatantness of that may have been reduced since I last read it, but I really found it a lazy change.<br /><br />The ending was a copout. I feel like the main reason for Nyx's memory wipe and reversion to her original state were put in solely so that fans could sleep easy knowing that her and Twilight went on to have more cute SoL adventures after the conclusion of the story, as if the second half of it never happened.<br /><br />This fic should have been one of two things: a cute slice-of-life comedy about Twilight and her adopted daughter, or a proper, risk-taking examination of how our pasts don't have to define us. Instead, it's an indecisive compromising thing that leaves me feeling unfulfilled.Eznhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787505849093141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-6809814899257510752012-06-08T03:04:20.750-05:002012-06-08T03:04:20.750-05:00Huh, it seems the only noteworthy disagreement I h...Huh, it seems the only noteworthy disagreement I have with the review is that I found Nyx reasonably tolerable as a fill, and disinteresting as cardboard after her change.<br /><br />The characterisation was dull and frankly, ludicrously obvious. I found it almost absurdly obvious how the character was going to play out, and that meant that the further it dragged out, the more infuriating it became. As such, I thought it utterly failed to ask any interesting questions about how history defines us, even though that was appeared to be one of the design principles for the story. What it did was show that people can be dicks when the author writes them as dicks, rather than having any real-life reference.<br /><br />Almost no-one's motivations for the things they did held up under any kind of scrutiny, so it felt more like that characters were acting in the way that suited a story 'on-rails' as opposed to any degree of character development or examination. The only character that actually felt interesting was Twilight wrestling with her own insecurities at playing Mom.<br /><br />On the upside, I'd also have to say I thought Spell nexus turned out to provide the most interesting plot twist in the entire story. Considering I constantly felt that I already knew where the story was going, just now how it was getting there, I actually had a 'woah' moment when the reveal was done. I can't tell if it seemed better amid such otherwise mono-railed story, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. <br /><br />The one part I <i>don't</i> give that to is the monster fight. Too obvious and predictable, and felt like it was sticking to the MLP of 'you must include a scene with each of the main six'. It was a fair while ago, and I'l happy enough to be corrected on the specifics, but that's how it left me feeling, regardless.<br /><br />As I said before, my enjoyment of what there was may have been marred by coming away from Fallout:Equestria with a bad taste after the ending. Either way, I usually say how I enjoyed the fic anyway, so there must be something to it, but this time, I'm not. I figure that for me, they're pretty damning words.<br /><br />Inquisitor M - out<br /><br />P.S. After reading PG13's comment, I think he hit the nail on the head with, "was supposed to be a simple little story got spun out of control and ended up a bloated mess." Yeah, that sounds about right to me, which is a shame, because there were some good ideas.InquisitorMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209346997929773686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-16981419285504982012-06-08T02:34:27.487-05:002012-06-08T02:34:27.487-05:00It was long?
