*** A throwaway line by Dusk Shine implies that he has no biological sisters, which means that unless either ContinuityDrift comes into place (or the line is edited), Shining Armor (and probably Princess Cadence) don't exist. Of course, this story ''was'' [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny written before Season 2 had even begun]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Provided courtesy of the fic's very premise -- simply changing the genders of the characters but leaving their personalities and appearances the same results in some very different outlooks on the originals. On the one hoof, Rainbow Dash's [[TheLadette Ladette]] athlete seem perfectly stock for the male Rainbow Blitz. On the other hoof, Rarity's [[TheFashionista Fashionista]] LargeHam makes the male Elusive CampStraight.

* FollowTheLeader: While not the first piece of fiction to have gender-flipped ponies, this story did open the floodgates for many other stories involving the gender-flipped [[FanNickname Mane Six]], and has given the gender-bent ponies their fanon names: Dusk Shine, Elusive, Butterscotch, Rainbow Blitz, Applejack, and Berry Bubble[[note]]counterparts to Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, respectively[[/note]].
** [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure Fanon Osmosis Failure]]: This was the fic that locked in the Fanon names for the gender-flipped [[FanNickname Mane Six]], EXCEPT for Pinkie Pie, whose counterpart is here named Berry Bubble[[note]]Short for Beriswainer [=DaVinci=] Bubble, just as Pinkie's full name is Pinkimena Diane Pie[[/note]] while at least half of the works that take the rest of their names from ''On a Cross and Arrow'' flip his to Bubble Berry.
*** Not '''technically''' one of the Mane 6, but Spike's [[DistaffCounterpart counterpart]] here is named Spines, while nearly all of the copycats call her Barb. There's also Elusive's kid brother ''Sweepy'' Bell, though the author has since edited it to "Silver" Bell instead.

* HypeBacklashHypeBacklash: One of the earliest [=FiM=] fics to hit it really big in the fandom, and is still regarded as a classic [=FiM=] fic even today. However, as a simple gender swap story, many newcomers to the fandom find it rather hard to see whatever made it so popular, especially with the number inconsistencies it has with the show proper.[[note]]Keep in mind, this fic was written before season 2 was even a thing and a lot of common fanon concepts have been {{Jossed}} since then.[[/note]]

*** Except that's implying that the Rule63 universe has high gender imbalance, which is not the case, because both universes have an equal ration of male and female ponies; the original simply puts more focus on mares while the fanfic's alternate universe puts more focus on the stallions.
