Twilight Sparkle Reloaded

"This is the worst movie of all time," Rarity told the Griffon, after Twilight and her friends were done roasting the film for two hours straight.

The Griffon looked as though he was about to cry. "Don't you want to shoehorn in an awkward reference to that time you said 'Of all the worst things that could possibly happen, this is... The! Worst! Possible! Thing!'?"

Rarity shook her head gracefully.

"Do you have Lavender Unicorn Syndrome or something?" Twilight asked.

Rarity gasped.

"What? I'm allowed to call it that. What else would you call that thing where amateur writers write us saying awkward things like 'As the element of Honesty I Honestly think you are right', or write us saying things we said once or twice before even if it makes no sense for us to say it again right now? Not to mention the amateur writer's habit of shoving fanservice where it doesn't belong, at the story's expense. It's like a mental disorder that makes you more focused on pandering to your audience than writing for them. Furthermore-"

The Griffon started to cry, and everypony's hearts melted as they tried to help him in their own way. Comforting him, patting his head, trying to cheer him up or tell stories similar to his experience...

The Griffon was shocked. Stunned. Without words. The wisdom of these ponies, and their kindness, and their optimism... It was hard to put into words.

"B-But I was told friendship is a dumb baby thing for dumb babies!" Said he.

And he was wrong.

For that day, the mane six said words that convinced him to try writing something else, and never give up, or allow what he thought the audience wanted to see to dictate what he felt he could write.

And so, rather than trying to write fanservice-infested panderfics with random headcanons and fanon names crammed in for no reason, he chose to write original fiction about a character who began life as the idealized version of himself he wished he could be, only to be changed and transformed into a complex and layered multifaceted hero with his own stories to tell and his own world to save.
