There were some slight changes to the planned content, the biggest being me realizing that (a) I really, really didn’t want to reread Fallout: Equestria and (b) there wasn’t anything to say about it I hadn’t already said about Background Pony and “Rainbow Factory,” so I dropped it and went with two commenter suggestions instead of just one.
