I got a lot of support on a comment on Hoopy McGee's take on the "Would it Matter?" trend. I will put it, that being my short idea for a "Would it Matter?" story, which is too short to even attempt submitting, here now.

I hope y'all enjoy it.

GAPJaxie wrote a story, Would It Matter If I Was?, about Fluttershy asking the totally-hypothetical question of whether or not it would matter if she was actually secretly a changeling.
