Trivia / The Vinyl Scratch Tapes

Go To

  • Author's Saving Throw: After Season 1 was written, Lauren Faust made several Word of God statements that Jossed almost everything Vinyl accused Celestia of in her interview, thereby making Vinyl look like an utter bitch making false accusations about one of the rulers of Equestria. Season 2 Episode 3 has Luna tear Vinyl apart for making false accusations about one of the rulers of Equestria. Readers had mixed opinions on this, so Season 2 Episode 4 has Luna backpedaling a bit herself.
  • Outdated by Canon: Vinyl tearing into Princess Celestia for banishing Luna to the moon. Almost all of her arguments were disproved both by Word of God and canon episodes, to the point a later chapter has Luna explain in detail to Vinyl why she was wrong.
  • Role Reprise: Hannah K is the only confirmed voice actress from the original Audio Adaptation to return for the upcoming remake, reprising her role as Vinyl Scratch.
  • The Other Darrin: In the upcoming remake of the fic's Audio Adaptation, Octavia, Princess Celestia and the Narrator are now voiced by Artypaints, IM Shadow 007 and Arkham instead of Wolfie, Lauren Goodnight and DJ Shamrock respectively.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • When Corey was first thinking up the fanfic, originally it was just going to be about Vinyl being a lone radio host. But he realized that he would need another character for her to bounce off of to keep the fic entertaining, so he added Octavia in as a Foil to Vinyl Scratch.
    • In the Audio Adaptation, Hannah K and Wolfie had auditioned for the roles of both Vinyl and Octavia. Hannah was proud of her own Octavia voice, while Wolfie was proud of her own Vinyl voice. But they ended up with the oppisite roles of what they initially desired.
    • There was originally supposed to be a third season, but Corey cancelled it to avoid Seasonal Rot.
