** ''The Reasonably Adamant Down With Celestia Newfoal Society!'' was written as a way to explore how the victims felt about their ForcedTransformation. It's now known as pretty much as Chatoyance's TakeThatCritics story for how it depicts main characters (who are obvious stand-ins for critics of the Chatoverse) as incompetent whiners for daring to be unhappy about being forcibly transformed.
