Mod: I would just like to say that you've done a wonderful job AVOIDING making Genie Twilight a Mary Sue. The idea of an omnipotent Genie, let alone an Alicorn!Genie, seems destined for it, but I've never felt like Genie Twilight is headed that way. Good job :)

Thanks I suppose. Maybe it’s a little worrying for Twilight to have this much power and continue her life as normal. Twilight even in just the show knows quite a bit more then most of the characters. But what will always keep her a well-rounded character is her flaws. Which I hope even with the essentially huge power-up in Magic I haven’t completely forgot.

Though I must say as a side note, I’m come to dislike the Mary Sue term. Since I see too many people call characters they don’t like (Especially female main characters) Mary Sues. And at least in FiM terms, I’ve even come to like the two characters in FiM that are the closest to a Mary Sue: Cadence and Shining Armor (Canterlot Wedding remains one of my favorite episodes, but I’m willing to admit they came out of nowhere).

Also it disgusts me whenever anyone states they think one of the Main 6 are Mary sues. I swear I’ve seen all 6 get called Mary Sues at least once. Especially painful to me is the notion that Twi becoming an Alicorn made her an instant Mary Sue. That’s just bullshit, and just looking for more excuses to dislike the change. >_(\
