History Trivia / TheConversionBureau

** Bendy, an author known for writing anti-TCB parody stories and a brief member of the writing team for ''Other Side of the Spectrum'', [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/921618/i-somewhat-regret-making-conversion-bureau-stories stated in 2020 that he regrets ever having been involved in the writing scene]].

** Blaze, the author of the original story, later expressed regret at having written it due to the backlash he got for the misanthropic implications he never intended to convey[[note]]it was supposed to be WishFulfillment, about going to Equestria without leaving your human friends behind; implications of genocide were the ''last'' thing he wanted to convey[[/note]], and that the concept is best left to other, more capable writers.

** Blaze, the author of the original story, later expressed regret at having written it due to the backlash he got for the misanthropic implications he never intended to convey and declared it a poorly written OldShame.

* FanNickname: The TCB-version of Celestia is often called 'Xenocelestia', or other similar terms in order to differentiate her from her canon counterpart. Typically, the "Xeno" stands for xenocide, so it's not exactly a good thing. Other variations include X-lestia, Xelly, Xenolestia, and Xenocidelestia. Another popular name for TCB-Celestia is "The Solar Tyrant".
** TCB-Royal Guards have been referred to as "Celestians".

* ArtistDisillusionment: [[Creator/JenniferDianeReitz Chatoyance]] was subjected to death threats and (''alleged'') DDOS attacks over her Conversion Bureau stories, to the point that she quit fimfiction.net for the better part of a year. Her later [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/169586/online-abuse-on-fimfiction-part-four-of-four blog post]] on the subject specifically named Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom as the source of the harassment. It's also worth noting however that the Anti-TCB group ''did'' ban several of those people that sent her those threats, and she's also been known to pull off {{Wounded Gazelle Gambit}}s, as she accused notable Anti-TCB member/moderator Carpinus Caroliniana of said DDOS attacks with absolutely no evidence.

* DearNegativeReader: Chatoyance has a habit of insulting critics and those who don't agree with her fanon. ''The Adamantly Down With Celestia Newfoal Society'' is an entire story written as a take that to those people.

* ReferencedBy: Conversation Bureau-type settings are a known type of Variant Loop in ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'', and the ponies InUniverse consider them very shameful.
* UnderminedByReality: Chatoyance openly states that her version of Equestria, the Princesses, and the ponies is "more in line with Lauren Faust's original vision" than that of the show. But the show's pilot, written by Lauren to set up their vision for the series, had Princess Luna [[FallenHero become Nightmare Moon]] and bring about TheNightThatNeverEnds, which Faust stated would have ultimately killed all life on the planet, out of [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]]. While Chatoyance {{handwave}}s other antagonistic ponies as [[InTheBlood descended from a ponified human]], she portrays Luna as an infallible BigGood without any acknowledgment of Nightmare Moon which would invalidate the point depicting ponies as morally superior if one as great as Luna could fall and commit such evildoing.

* GenreKiller: ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauNotAlone'' and the numerous {{Deconstruction Fic}}s, {{Hate Fic}}s and {{Fix Fic}}s that proceeded and followed all but ensured that the [[PlayedStraight straight]] TCB genre as exemplified by Chatoyance is all but dead.
