All of my d'awws. I find the hate funny. They kick up such a shitstorm, they're only bringing Past Sins more attention. People who don't know anything about Nyx or Past Sins will eventually read it because pro and anti nyx people can't stop talking about it. It's how I found Past Sins.

^ Me too. Honestly, it was terrible before, but now it's gone through a LOT of revisions, and they made it an honestly great fic.

Nyx share the same fate with MLP:FiM in general.

There are people who love the show, and people who blindly judge it as gay trash. The end result was popularity. this applies to Nyx and FiM.

Well the revisions were relatively minor... it was pretty good as it was. But the changes WERE to it's benefit

Not yet. Past Sins is a revision piece and it needs quite a bit of work. I know I'm being a nitpicker here, but I refuse to call this story good until it comes out with a version where Celestia is not portrayed as both history's greatest monster and the dumbest pony in show.

Seriously, you can't have both.

Sweet pingas, a Nyx piece with only TWO negative comments (one of which is well thought out and not kicking up a shitstorm)?

PRAISE THE MAKER!

Typical Nyxfag response.

The only reason Celestia would trust Spell Nexus, head of the Children of Nightmare and worst original character ever, with a dangerous matter that she had an entire team working tirelessly on for months was that Pen Stroke couldn't think of any other way to move the plot forward.

I mean you'd think he'd at least have someone in the research team turn out to be a cultist spy, but why even bother with espionage when the god empress brings all the answers right to the head cultist! That's using your head!

And yeah, before you say anything, I mad.

Also, sorry tahublade. I know this was a rare victory for you guys but it looks like I just ruined your day. With my last post and all, consider the shitstorm kicked up.

Anti-nyx people will only talk about it when Pro-nyx people try to shove it down our throats.
I seriously doubt anyone is going to go out of their way to read it just because the topic came up.

@Hex-Master. You do realize that Spell-Nexus was the headmaster of the school for gifted unicorns, his cutie mark involves creating new spells, and he is the one that she entrusted the destruction of the remnants of Nightmare Moon to? And that the researchers were intended to find out WHAT the spell that was cast was supposed to do? Right?

Given that, the fact that Celestia would have wanted to keep the number of people involved in the checking of Nyx to a bare minimum, and that she had no idea that Nexus was the leader of the Children, why was choosing Spell Nexus a bad idea?

^ True doesn't change the fact that he acts like a cartoon villain pretending to be good the whole time. Also I love how the only reason why Nyx isn't pure evil, because some one else got all the evil or some shit. Because Nyx starting out as evil (or at least just bratty) and slowly because good threw love and friendship, clearly is just too hard.

To say nothing of the fact that he's containing Nightmare Moon's original personality within him! I mean, it's ridiculous! Nyx is presented as Nightmare Moon reborn as a blank slate, but if Spell Nexus was containing Nightmare Moon this whole time, that means Nyx is just some Mary Sue OC clone. So much for the whole nature vs. nurture theme, cause that went out the fucking window!

@#422282
And that is EXACTLY why Pen Stroke can't write for shit. Spell Nexus is written in as this total cultist badass hiding right under Celestia in plain sight. We're told that he's this great manipulator who can keep THE GOD-EMPRESS OF EQUESTRIA in the dark about his cult, but then everything just falls into his lap. You'd think Celestia would be just slightly suspicious about what kind of pony would have the raw power and clearance to create such a dangerous spell. But no, Pen Stroke needs an excuse to just deliver Nyx to the cultists, so I guess Celestia's a fucking idiot who can't even REMEMBER that there's a dangerous cult hiding out in her domain.

To say nothing of the fact that he has no sense of dramatic timing. Celestia arriving at Spell Nexus' house for the first time should have been a total twist ending, with her being all friendly and asking for his help being a chapter end. Instead, it's just "Oh yeah, he's my super-loyal student who I've never mentioned before!" and then back to the shit plot.

And before anyone calls bullshit, let me just say that a cultist leader infiltrating the highest echelons of government isn't a shit plot. That is a fantastic concept and one of the reasons I got into this story in the first place! The problem is Pen Stroke is such a hack that he can't conjure up any sort of surprise or drama or INTEREST from the idea. Instead, we get ten chapters of "Daaw, baby pony and momma!" followed by the world's lamest plot twist!

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THIS?!

@Hex-Master there is a lot I can say about your rants. But you're just another hater, and there's no real point in arguing with you. So why don't you ignore anything related to Nyx, and we won't have to have anymore of these conversations, Kay? Truthfully I can find many flaws with the story, but all in all it is indeed an enjoyable story. It has a decent plot, the characters remain (for the most part) canon, and the story as a whole was fun to read. Not the best fanfic ever but still nice. If you feel like disagreeing with that then please go elsewhere as we do not really want to deal with it. Have a good day.

Hex-Master, you are not alone in that line of thought. I liked Past sins until chapter ten. Then things just got waaaaaaaay too predictable.

Here's a question for the Nyx fans out there: Does Nyx ever lose to anyone at anything ever? No. Would it hurt the story at all for her to lose at something in a well writen, justified way? No. SO WHY DO YOU ALL INSIST THAT "It's the only way it could be writen!"? WHY?!?

I really love the excuse ""you're just another hater" because it seems to suggest you have no actual rebuttal to my complaints.

I've been forced to discuss this point many times, so let me just ask: why is it that the one character who has the common sense to question Nyx's allegiance is portrayed by the author as both inept and (in the original draft) unbelievable malicious?
And then Pen Stroke actual uses Luna, whose entire character motivation he destroyed to create Nyx, as a mouthpiece to blast Celestia and why she and anyone who doesn't like Nyx is wrong. Because, of course, showing any kind of suspicion towards the potential baby demon spawn is unforgivable.

Seriously, man, we are fucking done professionally.
