FimFiction? More like ChangelingFiction, AMIRITE?

So, yeah, I've definitely been doing my part to contribute to the recent flood of changeling fics. I'm guessing that a lot of it has to do with 'The Times They Are A Changeling' (which I still need to watch, shame on me). You won't find me complaining, that's for sure. For the little screen time they get, changelings sure do get a lot of attention when it comes to stories and art. Part of it is that we know so little about them, and our innate desire to know more about them, to construct a narrative about these creatures, compels us to do just that: to write their stories.

And beyond that, there's a rather unearthly, alien beauty to the changeling race. True, I have seen some rather grotesque and horrific depictions of them in fan art, but those depictions that don't deviate too far from their show appearance...mmmmm~

I can't help myself. I am attracted to changelings, even more so than I am to ponies. Chrysalis is just absolutely stunning and you can bet I'd be on my knees before her, eager to obey my queen.

To all of you who read this: keep it up! Keep on writing changeling fics and making changeling art. I love it, and I'm far from alone in my feelings. BUZZZZZZZZ

Sincerely,
A changeling Arta

I have to agree there, I find changelings downright cute. I think it's partially the eyes, when they are wide open, they just look incredibly adorable.

Meanwhile, more serious depictions make them look downright badass.

All in all, never too many changeling stories.

If only there were more stories featuring changelings and my other favourite race, gryphons, working together.

And yes, Chryssie is amazing. Of be her moist loyal subject anytime and beg to be converted into a changeling in a heartbeat.

*lassoes and hugs* Can't let any changelings go without assume huggles. :3

You know, I'm very tempted to have Arta become a changeling; the only thing holding me back is that as a pony she's able to feed love to Chrysalis, and I'd never deny Chryssy a food source. I do have plans of that nature for Tarnished Relic in 'The True Shape', but with the different interpretation of changelings it's not quite the same.

I think it's better to leave Arta a pony, maybe with other equipment to make it easier for her to move around the hive, like horseshoes that let her stick to walls, etc. Changing her into a changeling would undermine her as a proof that ponies and changelings can love together in peace, and that changelings can feed without causing harm. Plus, one should never have change him or herself so drastically for love.

In the True Shape it makes more sense, since changelings ate supposed to be the target form for all the creatures in the world. Though, I wonder if gryphons will turn into gryphonlings, that'd look hella cute.
