Trivia / Equestria: Civil War

• Author's Saving Throw: When the second chapter first came out, many people complained that Celestia's strictness was completely out of character. The author created the character of Thunderbolt and rewrote that chapter to satisfy fans. Unfortunately, this caused the story to feel a bit too one-sided in favor of RARA, which is not what the author intended.
• Creator Backlash: Lightning Sword regrets creating Thunderbolt, he was created to fix a flaw, but he feels it ended up causing a bigger problem as his inclusion caused the story to feel one-sided. He had to put the story on hiatus for a couple of months to figure out how to balance both sides of the RARA argument as a result.
