I think it’s a bit annoying when people misremember characters’ actions as being worse than they actually were (possibly in part due to bias influencing memory; psychology can be interesting),
Another good example of that are fans whom insist Starlight was “trying to destroy the universe,” when looking back, that wasn’t her intention at all. Some even try to make Discord out to be some “murderous dark abomination,” yet the first terrible thing he ever did in the series was make it rain chocolate milk.
Some even do that to the “good guys,” and make Twilight out to be “some horrible child abuser to Spike.” …I’m serious, some actually believe that. Ugh…

It depends, but just because a “fan” is writing something doesn’t automatically mean it’s good. There are plenty of bad fanfics out there, AND let’s not forget some of those whom work on the show were MLP fans as kids.
Ian Flynn whom writes for the official Sonic the Hedgehog comic books (as well as Megaman, TMNT, and even a Pony issue) is a Sonic fan, and made fancomics online in his youth. Many think he’s good, but some Sonic fans are divided on him, as well. So even good fan writers aren’t infallible, as other fans have their own ideas of what they want.
@Latecomer
good luck getting three fans to agree on a better direction, anyway.
Tell me about it… That’s why the “Archie Sonic Online” fan series is so delayed…
