OC ponies are alright when they're constructed good and don't get in the way, but seriously. Having an alicorn as an OC? That is just breaking the fucking rules.

For some reason Nyx doesn't register as an OC for me. At least, not any more than the other alicorn everyone loves to put into stories that has no cannon personality. Nyx is Nightmare Moon basically.

@Draconaes That said I think I really like Nyx/Nightmare Moon from Creeping Darkness. I might be biased in regards to Past Sins because of that.

She is not fucking Nightmare Moon. Nyx... that thing doesn't even have a personality. She's just... I don't know... but I can't believe how this piece of shit fanfiction could get 6-stars. There are some extremely well written fics out there that always get overshadowed by the rubbish ones.

@651 Just wondering, did you read the revision? They changed Nyx's personality. Also, am I the only one not loving/hating this story based on Nyx? I honestly didn't care so much about her being flat in the first version anyway. To me this is a story about Twilight, Celestia, and Luna, and Nyx is just a vehicle for it.

#336633: man there have been rage posts about Past Sins for days now, where were you

anyway my feelings are basically that the story breaks a lot of cardinal rules of OCs, but many of those rules couldn't have remained intact anyway if you want to explore the conceit that the story explores.
the reports I've heard of canon character distortion are probably the most serious issue, for me.

Sure there is butthurt there (Anyway, isn't ponychan supossed to hate past sins?) i have to agree with lots of things but
Rarity (as far as i did read) was not that OOC, she did priorised fashion in serious situations before (Dragonshy is a good example) but yeah, failed to really compensate for it and then it got worse
Twilight stopped being twilight to become Nyx mother and Nyx being the center of atention all the time got me bored
But i still can not believe how much hate it gets, it is by no means a good story but it is BEARABLE and if you can look past all the OOC carnage is not that bad

Speaking of, Season 1 premiered on the second Friday of October, 2010 (October 10th). If this year is anything like the last, I predict S2 will start on October 14th. (I've got nothing to go on but a hunch on this. Also, yes, S1 was still in production when it first aired.)

Eh /co/ is probably the last people on earth I'd trust on a fanfiction, this is the place that brought us the horrid fanfiction known as cupcakes, which only got to actual slasher horror levels once it was revised and rewritten to make it less horror from horrid grammar.

Truthfully it's a middling fanfiction that could use some better characterization on the main 6.

and as for the she's an Alicorn OC, fuck, how else would you go about portraying NMM as a separate entity from Luna.

From the hate it's gathering just about everywhere, you'd think it was a Gonterman fanfiction.

He fixes a lot of things, at least Celestia's character. Also Nyx is less of a Mary-Sue; she still -IS- a Mary-Sue, mind you, but now she's a tad easier to swallow.

Sadly, a lot of the breaking of the canon personailites in the beginning are still there, but... fuck it, Past Sins is a guilty pleasure because I'm a fucking glutton for punishment.

Oh well, just to join in the fun:

While I find the immense popularity a little curious, I'm glad of it; I got to see some really nice pictures as a result.

Further, Past Sins was the first fanfic produced by this community that I read, and lead to me reading a lot of other works. Some were arguably better, some far, far worse, but Past Sins remains my favourite piece of fanfiction.

Why? Because despite what flaws it does have, it speaks to themes I'm particularly interested in and very rarely see explored by the show and especially by the fandom, such as the relationship between parent and child.

So you people are free to hate all you want, of course, but between the subject matter, a character I really do like, and the story's exploring aspects of Twilight's character I always wish the show would, and fear it never will.. I fear Past Sins will be my favourite fanwork for the forseeable.

Although A Day for Spike and Twilight comes in an awfully close second.

Okay, to be honest, when I first read it I didn't really notice anything, but I have reread it (before and after the huge revision), I noticed the OOCness.

I still like the CONCEPT of Nyx, and she's adorable--I'm a sucker for adorable. I just wish it had been handled better. Even post-revision her personality could use some work. I have hope there might be more revisions. If not, well, I'll let it go.

@Hatesteed
Yeah...I've said this before and I'll say it again: many disagreements (ESPECIALLY on the internet) really boil down to "Stop liking what I don't like!".

But then I remembered this is a fanfiction for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And that this pic is from 4chan.

^^^The most polarizing mlp fanfic on the web and the reason why we need Season 2 now.
Shortest summary I can come up with is: Evil cult tries to resurrect NM, and instead of the authors making an epic fic with the actual Nightmare Moon, they end up taking lessons from Stephanie Meyer and make a boring yet inexplicately popular self-insert Mary Sue instead. There's better fics out there for you to read instead.

^And in true Stephanie Meyer fashion, Past Sins is a deeply flawed fanfic with gaping plotholes the size of an Ursa Major's arsehole, a cliched, shallow, unlikable main character, laughably written wangst, the mane cast, especially twilight, dropping several IQ points and acting mostly out of character, and relying mostly on said shallow main character's cute looks to sell the story, much like how Tomb Raider sells itself on its hot yet bland protagonist. Also one of the authors insisted on typing his posts in the Medic's accent even though it stopped being amusing the first time.
I dunno, I strongly dislike Past Sins and Nyx, but frankly it doesn't make angry anymore, it just makes me a sad panda. There's plenty of fanfics with more competant authors, better OCs, and well-written drama, and instead they're in the shadow of this dragon-sized turd.
tl;dr: Person #4329075150124 thinks Past Sins objectively sucks, and that makes him a very sad panda.

Dont you DARE compare this crap to Tomb Raider

Lara may have been vapid... heck the plotlines were fairly lame... but at least the games themselves had awesome atmosphere and gameplay

At least up until Chronicles...

even if we were to take the stance that nmm is a segregated entity (which i personally reject) that was divested from luna, nyx as an agent represents no characteristics of the misanthropic or subversive traits exhibited by nmm.

it is, to be frank, out of character.

Personalities are based on their experiences/upbringing. Nyx is considered a Mar(e)y Sue because she was created by a botched spell and has no memories to base anything off of. She later becomes much like Twilight due to her "Mother's" teaching. It makes sense. So this is excused by the plot.

The guy complaining about Rarity acting out of character because she isn't thinking logically is completely wrong, bitch doesn't know about Sonic Rainboom. We know that Rarity has a tendency to forget all else when she has an idea in her head, mainly concerning beauty. This is excused by the canon

And Twilight's actions, are out of character based on the fact that she feels like Nyx is a daughter to her. We all know mothers will act completely differently when their children (Biological or not) are at risk. So this is excused by the plot.

And Celestia and Luna aren't out of character because we don't know enough about them in the first place. How would Celestia act if she knew her kingdom might be in danger (we don't get to see this in the canon, so it is free for interpretation). As a ruler of a nation, she is responsible, for the safety of everypony. We don't know how she would react. So this is excused by the plot and the lack of information from the canon.

So in other words, Y'all are bitching over nothing.

She considered as Mary Sue 'cuz everypony loves her.

Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon written poorly. Almost everypony OOC. Rarity sucks in logic, Twilight has some sort of mental disorder and in each chapter disregards previous. Etc.

And Nyx just fucking retarded. "Imma monster, imma monster." Fuck, then BE a moster! Or do not be a monster and do good things, but STOP FUCKING WHINE.

It still amuses me how Nyx fans get all defensive about her and go 'gee man, dont get all serious... what's the big problem' and conveniently forget that they spam her image fucking EVERYWHERE. ALL. THE. TIME. and never shut up about her... not even counting those most idiotic fans who literally treat her as better than the show itself (She not OC! She iz just NMM silly!)

This coming from the cesspool of the brony community who're probably responsible for the incredible hype backlash the show is suffering.

BTW, given that 3 months have passed by since you posted that, take a good look around ponibooru; do you see thousands of Nyx images over the front page? BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL DON'T.

And don't go assuming ALL of Nyx's fans are the ones spamming images. I'm a Nyx fan, and I've never uploaded ANYTHING to Ponibooru, because

A) I have no artistic talent at all and don't have any way of uploading decent quality pics.

B) I just assume everyone else has posted everything else anyway.
