YMMV / Progress

• Adorkable: Princess Luna. She finds math and paperwork fun and is incredibly awkward and naive in social situations. Celestia even notes that she finds her cute when embarrassed and goes out of her way to tease her and play tricks on her to get her in such a state.
• Cult Classic: While the fic sort of fell into obscurity some years ago and fandom newcomers may not know of it, it's still a widely beloved work that greatly influenced the community and is remembered fondly by many bronies.
• Genius Bonus:
  • Hoyden means a wild boisterous girl or tomboy in Middle Dutch. Another word for a tomboyish girl is "butch". And given his marefriend is named Sundance...
  • Also, the alias Luna took in Luna Vs. Baseball, Selene, is the name of a moon goddess.
    • Lampshaded at one point when Pinkie Pie, trying to keep the secret, calls Luna both names in a row and adds, "I totally didn't mix up my mythologies!"
  • In "Ponies! In! SPAAACE!" Luna asks if she's to become the governor of Epona. Epona is the name of a Gaullian horse goddess.
    • Alternatively, that name was a Shout-Out to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
• I Knew It!:
  • This fic actually managed to get quite a few things right about the canon version of Luna, such as her status as a Fish out of Temporal Water and Adorkable personality, as well as her using a Voice of the Legion at one point, among other things.
  • Sleepless in Ponyville revealed that Luna can enter other ponies' dreams.
• Memetic Mutation: Since this fanfic gained popularity, it seems almost required that if you have Luna show up in a comedic fanfic, her abacus will either be nearby or mentioned. Grimdark and Sad fics don't need to follow this, but some have. The abacus has also appeared in several drawings as a background prop.
• Moe: Appleboom all the time. While Luna and baseball was pure Hearwarming, her desire to cheer Luna with her Totally Radical impersonation of Celestia would give you Diabetes.
