I just wanted to put up a (hopefully) short blog post addressing some things for those who might need it.
First off, yes, Bolt's a changeling now. More information about THAT can be found here: http://twitterponies.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:NEligahn/On_Changes_and_the_Future
In regards to Changelings in general, I refer you to the wonderful pages done by Chrysalis here: http://twitterponies.wikia.com/wiki/Changelings_Information
Bolt and Skyra are now back in Ponyville where they will be spending most of their time when not either on adventures or checking in at the changeling castle. Bolt's given task and goal is that of observation and information, reporting to Repliety and Laska.
As of now, his cover, in my head canon, is intact. There are presently only THREE ponies on the planet that officially know of his change: Skyra, Ace Maverick and Roseluck. And until otherwise organized that's how it'll remain.
I've seen how changelings are generally interacted with by either new RPers or Rpers seeking something specific, sometimes even trying to get more exposure or “fame”. To those of you with that mindset, I direct you here: http://twitterponies.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Roseluck/How_to_play_with_changelings and here: http://twitterponies.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Roseluck/Respect_Others .
Roseluck already wrote excellent blogs about this subject and I won't try to tread over her words.
So what I'm putting down here is this: Interaction is fine. I've RPed (Nearly 14 years of it in total, in fact) long enough to identify certain types of RP. I can tell the difference between someone seeking RP and someone trying to force a scene or an outcome.
What I mean is, if I sense that you are trying to force Bolt to be revealed, or forcibly “uncover” him, then you will be ignored. If the scene or interaction is heading in that direction, I'll likely try to skirt it Icly. If it persists, then there'll be an OOC warning. If it still persists, I will remove myself from the scene and possibly retcon it completely.
This might sound harsh to some, and I'm sorry if it does. But I have seen FAR too many scenes, for both ponies and changelings alike, utterly ruined by someone trying to force a reveal, or an outcome or trying to godmod their way through it.
This all being said, I look forward to new interactions and experiences.
Thank you for reading and as a reward, have a happy, fluffy corgi. ^_^
