I'll say what I said in the chatroom. I like that, especially in a fic with so many awful sues and stus and such, you were able to pick out some characters that could actually be good in the hands of smarter writers. It's that little bit of constructiveness that makes this a real treat for me.
Of course, everything else seemed good too.
Aster and Lore learn that great tastes do not always taste great together when an anthropomorphic wolf Gary Stu begins to pester the Spyro the Dragon universe... while claiming to be from Assassin's Creed, and spawning far too many uncanonical nemeses in the process.

Ah Spyro, it has been too long since I played you. Loved the mission :)
Best part:
Lore rolled his eyes. “I think you’re overdoing it now.”
“Good!” Aster said, cracking her knuckles. “Because I have an mad, spiteful plan. And those are my best plans.”
“Wonderful!” Lore said, and then slapped her over the back of the head. “Now be quiet and listen to my idea instead.”
It was either a summary or slog through the story itself, which was too stomach-turning.
Aster exists as me when I was 16 and over-exuberant. Lore is what I wish I could do to 16-year-old me.
No plans for the egg. It's now in the Nursery, to hatch as it will (and undergo deglitter treatment or medication from birth, likely)
I like what you did with Amanda and Dax...will they be showing up in later stories?
Maybe! Maybe not! They're kind of up for adoption/public use, but at the moment (and for possibly quite a while) they'll be in ficpsych and medical undergoing severe anti-glitter therapy.
If nobody adopts them or uses them, I may bring them back in. Or if not, it can be assumed they went to go join Jack's ex-family in their brand new Mexican devilfighting banditos dogs canon.
Nice mission.
I'm a fan of the original Spyro series. However, I've never really formed an opinion of the Legend series, though. Either way, even I can tell that the badfic defiled Legend's canon.
Four Mexican dogs fighting a demon lord of the dead. That sounds...unique, to say the least.
What do reboots of different series do to their own Continua, anyway? If they wipe out any trace of the previous canon, then what about the fics (both good and bad) that involves the same previous incarnation of that series but were written after the reboot was done?
I don't know. As per July's suggestion, I kind of took the 'timey wimey' approach to time travel and canon integrity.
The Star Wars universe sees retcon and reboot a lot, so I'll use that as a baseline and leave maybe a slightly informed opinion here. It can be assumed that stories taking place pre-reboot are canon in context, and post-reboot are canon in a different context. It should be marked, and elements from one can be incorporated into the other with a bit of skill.
But other than that? As long as something isn't directly contradictory, I'd just call 'timey-wimey' on the whole mess and leave it be.
Sounds like a lucha film plot -- I have several English-subtitled DVDs, and that's right down lucha's alley. I wonder if the badfic author is a lucha fan?
(And if I hadn't already submitted a lucha game for a local gaming convention, I'd be writing that up.)
...And I know nothing about Spyro the Dragon and barely anything about Assassin's Creed. Aster and Lore amuse me.
Where is says ..."For which, PPC agents sentence you to explode as your daughter would have. Because her welfare seems only a dubious possibility in your mind, I think you may emphasize with her more after this.”... I think it should be empathize.
You caught a typo!
Thanks!
I am happy Aster and Lore are amusing. I made them to be so, after all. >_>
That was an...interesting...story concept. Not good, or logical, but interesting. I like the scene where the anthro-hell-hounds were de-glittered and recruited.

I...can't really think of anything more to say.
