Did you hear the Valentine's episode will be about the CMC trying to get Big Macintosh and Cheerilee together?

........ Oh great *Headesk* Ironic, considering I made a reference to Cherilee dating big mac back in high school in chapter 3. *sigh* back to the old drawing board....

Okay, I wonder what people are going to say about what I just did with Truly, Paradise and Magic Star... though I did build to it a bit in 'twilight then, twilight now'.

Definitely different from the way I portray them. Though, the ponies are Majesty's hoofpicked followers and their descendants in my series. They're also democratic so the herd siding against Majesty (although rare) is not treason but simply the consensus of the herd.

Eh, my thing there was I didn't want all of the ponies being 'good, sweet and perfect'. And the treason plot is tied to the movie's 'give the castle to the grundles, move to paradise estate' thing. The majority of the herd do NOT want to turn on majesty or disagree with her. This is Truly, Paradise and Magic star's treachary. Truly because she stuck me as a mean grouch in the old cartoons, magic star because she gave the castle away, and Paradise, becuse I had tihis idea that her 'nicey nicey' thing is an act, and she has this vanity issue that leads to the namng of thier new home (Paradise Estate). In my World, Majesty is an absolute monarch, but bows to the will of the mjority of the herd if thier descisions aren't defying common sense.

Truly always struck as being a twit who only opened her mouth to let something stupid escape. I actually made a lot smarter (more tolerable) when I made her a nurse in my version.
I ironic that her cutie mark is a dove and yet she seeks to stir up such conflict.

Yeah, I knew that some of them were going to turn out to be bad. I was just afraid I was going to make somebody's favorite bad ><.

I'm a fan of Paradise, but it's your story.
I do plan on introducing antagonist ponies to my story at a much later date, but they're all going to be original and from outside Dream Valley.

If you spend all your time worrying about pleasing others, you won't make anything likeable. Write what you want to write. If Truly is a traitorous Imbicile and Paradise and Magic Star are her lackeys in your story, more power to you.
My only problem is if they're done poorly and really just made evil because you need an evil character to be knocked down by the heroes. That's how we ended up with the Witches from the Volcano of Gloom.

Yeah, like Al1701 said, you can't worry about that kind of thing or you'll never write at all. Besides, most G1 fans are used to seeing varying interpretations of the G1 ponies. They were a lot less "established" in terms of personality than FIM ponies.
I haven't read the new chapter yet, but I will soon. I'm sure whatever you did can't be any more extreme than when I made Munchy a crazy cannibal pony.

Truly and the others aren't evil, just convinced Majesty shouldn't be running the dream valley herd. They're stubborn pride leads them to to do something stupid, but they never rally do anything evil in my fics.
Oh, and my Ditzy fics still work, given that "Derpy" is her nickname in my fics
