* HostilityOnTheSet: In general, the [[CreativeDifferences creative conflicts]] between Red and the other writers became increasingly more heated and personal as the writing process went on, with the depictions of certain characters (Marcus, Prime Chrysalis, Prime Celestia, and Prime Discord in particular), Red's original plans for [[spoiler:how Queen Celestia was going to die]], and the handling of the HLF being especially loaded with disagreements. This, combined with how the authors were also dealing with other issues in their personal offline lives (which were being affected by the stresses of their online project), was a big factor behind why the 2017 split was as bitter and acrimonious as it was.
** [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/944523/so-long-i-guess-a-reflection-on-old-times-and-looking-forward-and-beyondAccording to In her resignation blog]], Kizuna Tallis]], Tallis detailed how in 2016, Red brought a new author who went by the [[CreativeDifferences creative conflicts]] alias of Art onto Team Spectrum, a move that wasn't approved of by the other members. Art wanted to write a side story crossover with ''Manga/ElfenLied'', an idea that wasn't supported by anyone else on the team besides Red. Not helping matters was that Art rapidly became [[TheFriendNobodyLikes disliked by the rest of the team]] as his attempts to fit in simply came off as annoying for them while [[TheLoad not contributing anything of note]]. After issuing an ultimatum to Art to make progress on his story idea or risk getting kicked out, the team (minus Red) ultimately cut ties with him after being unimpressed with the outline he turned in. This brief chapter of Team Spectrum's history (which lasted for a little over one month) drove a further wedge between Red and the other writers became increasingly more personal, leading members, especially Doctor Fluffy and Kizuna due to them having been most vocally against Art's inclusion in the 2017 split being as bitter and acrimonious as it was.team.
