Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.

I think some of those ideas being taken by different authors is kind of interesting. For example, the "Princesses can't die" is taken by three different writers who all bring the fact that Twilight, by being immortal, cannot be with her friends anymore, and regrets this to some level. Even with the same idea and feelings, we get three entirely different stories: A near death experience (Or at least a near death for Twilight and death for the rest of the M6), a sadder lesson fic and a humorous take on trying to "die".

I think the author might not have wanted to do all this in what's essentially a short story. I'd love to see the ideas expanded on, but scratching the bare minimum already takes 739 words. Sacrifices have to be made sometimes, especially when space is so cramped. Worldbuilding belongs more in longer fics, but not really in a small SoL scene. You didn't ask yourself about all the intricacies of zebra culture and magic when Zecora was introduced, despite her being different being, well, a zebra.
As for the questions, I'd think Twilight would just accept Celestia's answers unless they contradict her own beliefs, since she thinks of her quite highly.

I'm sorry, I'm just not into HiE, not at all, especially "Human is the chosen one" plots. I don't think my vote would be very objective on this one, and so I'm abstaining from it.
Good luck with the other readers.

Wouldn't have been related to the prompt then, since it would only be a sales pitch, but yes, could have been more coherent. It's a nice read, but I just personally don't think it fits well with the theme.

I must ask, what is the link with the theme? It's a nice read, but I can't really grasp what the story has to do with "Princess not included".
