Part of the reason Sam has so many questions is the fact that you don't seem to RESPOND to a lot of our questions to YOU.

Asked by Anonymous

A lot of the questions I get about RC require an answer that spoils important details.

And unlike Sir Sam, I’m not one to be publicly teasing about something as big as what is going on RC. So I’d rather just stay mute and let you all figure it out for yourselves. What’s wrong with having some theories that can only be confirmed or destroyed in due time?

How's the Rain Catcher update coming along?

Anonymous asked you:

The more I reread Post Crusade, the less sense it makes.

This can explained by my general sloppiness and the three times PC has had a partial reboot/revision.

The first revision took place during the first Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash arc in the beginning of Summer 2012. During this era, the comics were small comic strips with little storyline other than “this happened”. All of them are numbered like a comic strip (PC 1-20s)

The second one was after the hospital story in August. Here, I decided to give PC a more visible story. However, my sloppiness and subpar organization took it’s toll. A key characteristic of this era is the rushed feel and sudden disappearance of the numbers system (which made it even more unorganized)

The third one is the current one and it started with Dinky being at home. I rewrote the story from the ground up and made it more stable, yet flexible if needed. All of these are organized into large “stories” and are divided into “chapters”.

This is why it’s so jumpy and incoherent at times. I don't recommend reading everything from the start unless you want to try to build an idea of what’s happening, or are a curious explorer. It’s more likely that it’ll become more confusing.

Technically, anything before the third revision isn’t part of the canon unless it was directly or indirectly adressed or referenced in a Rev 3 chapter. Current canon that is taken from the legacy story includes:

  • The PC5’s personalities (SB’s nihilism and Sc’s depression most noticeably)
  • Current ships/love dramas
  • Scootaloo having RD and Pinkie as co-guardians
  • The cutie mark stories.
  • The Hospital story, and the Christmas story

Anything other borrowed canon and facts that people are wondering about should be revealed as Rev 3 progresses. Unless people desire a quick rundown right now. Do they?

Any particular reason you changed your mind about the poll?

I’m too damn lazy to start learning and getting used to another way of typing dialogue. Add on my existing tendency to screw up English and I have the perfect recipe for disaster.

Besides, no one has complained about the lack of drawl since it’s already implied by the character. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?

Own any MLP merchandise either official or fanmade

Your thoughts on brony music?

Asked by Anonymous

It’s alright.

I don’t listen to it as much as you’d expect me to. I just never really got into the brony music scene. But I have had some songs thrown in my direction and I have enjoyed them.

How are RC and Arrow related?

Asked by Anonymous

They are first cousins. Arrow is the daughter of Clearwater’s sister (therefore RC’s aunt).

In an earlier post, you said that there was a Post Crusade page being made for Tumblr Pony Wiki. Any idea if it's gone up yet?

Asked by Anonymous

It is not up right now. I need to find time to write everything, since Wikia doesn’t let you save a draft or a copy without publishing. .x.
