Yes, but... Well, Celestia has to have some sort of psych issues. It's difficult to be alive for that long and not go at least a little nutty. Banishing Luna surely took a toll. Then there's the loss of so many generations of friends- some maybe closer than others. Not to mention the stress of ruling a country and basically being a goddess. Some people have been known to just snap under the strain. She may be immortal, but her mind is clearly shown to have the same weaknesses and vulnerabilities as anyone else's. Anger isn't always the cause of murder.
I assure you that, were I to write something of that sort, it would be more in the vein of Death Note, where we focus on the investigation, the rush to find the killer, and the dangerous duel between minds, and the scheming and plotting on both sides. No "Saw" antics for me. The fandom has had enough of that between Cupcakes and Sweet Apple Massacre. As to what happens in Streak's fics... Well, I wouldn't write clop. I don't hate them, but I'm not one of them either.
I don't mind telling you I double and even triple check my work. I like to be thorough and ensure my writing isn't straying into badfic. Joe, you know I love the fandom. I love all my fandoms. I wouldn't do anything I know would be bad for it. It's like I said. Split-personality monster/good person can be good. Streak had a good foundation, but then he screwed up the roof and walls. He has the potential to write some truly good fanfiction, and he's ignoring it in favor of clop. He frustrates me so.
Believe me, I could do it. It would take a long time, and I would have to place each and every thread of the huge, complex web one at a time and with absolute precision, lest it should fall apart. But I could do it. I'm not as foolish as I seem. I may appear to be special with a capital "R", but there's more to me. I'm hurt that you'd expect mindless clop and gore from me, actually! I may be absolutely in love with Fluttershy, but love/romance does not equal sex. The attraction is psychological, not physical. And that is the key reason that I'm not a clopficcer. And I've never been big on blood and gore unless it was originally a Sue.
I won't try it, though. Not yet. Not until I have a more solid handle on writing the characters myself and have had a chance to really put it all together. No, I think I'll stick with my little oneshots for now...
