1* AuthorsSavingThrow: According to [[WordOfGod Banshee531]], "Birthday Battle Blitz" was meant to address Grand and Script's feud because a misunderstanding with his editor, [=KingJoltik=], caused him to view Grand as a villain. It also ultimately helped Script get RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap by a majority of fans.
2* BTeamSequel:
3** ''The Forgotten Darkness'' is written by series editor [=KingJoltik=] rather than [=Banshee531=].
4** ''Dragon’s Awakening'' is written by [=Joeyjambo122=].
5* CreativeDifferences:
6** [=Banshee531=] and his editor [=KingJoltik=] have differing opinions on Grand Hoof. While [=Banshee531=] has said that Grand Hoof is one of his favorite characters, he revealed in the author’s notes of the chapter "Retirement" that [=KingJoltik=] doesn’t like him.
7** [=Banshee531=] and [=Joeyjambo122=] had a minor disagreement over how dragons age in the fic. [=Banshee531=] wanted to give them an average[[note]]human[[/note]] lifespan while [=Joeyjambo122=] wanted to do the traditional way and making their lifespans longer. [=Joeyjambo122=] gave in, thus dragons have an average lifespan.
8* CreatorBacklash:
9** Going by his words at the author's note of "All's Fair in Love and War", [=Banshee531=] thought the idea seemed a lot better in his head than the actual chapter and told the readers he's not gonna blame them for not liking the chapter.
10** [=Banshee531=] admitted he had no idea of what to do with highly controversial ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E14FameAndMisfortune Fame and Misfortune]]'' for Flash Sentry Season 7 and he's only adapt the chapter because he knew the readers would want to see his take on the episode and he apologizes for it.

14* FandomNod: In ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyPonyLife Pony Life]]'', it’s speculated among fans that Discord gave Fluttershy the ability to shrink and grow.
