great story

Pinkie does realize that she's a member of the Apple Family right?

5970607 It was never confirmed one way or the other whether that was in fact the case in the episode Pinkie Apple Pie. Even if it was confirmed it seems to imply that Pinkie Pie would likely be a fairly distant cousin of the Apple Family. I suppose she is treated as a member of the family nonetheless though.

Pinkie would be so distantly related that she would be fully legal to date and have relations with Big Mac in every country in the world no problem.

Heck you are probably more closely related to random people in your home town (assuming it is a smaller more remote town) than Pinkie is to Big Mac.

Its only incest if you fuck your first cousin. so yeah like everyone else said they are distantly related enough that if they were to date it wouldn't be incestual at all. She is like a fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth right? so there wouldnt be any chance of inbreeding if they had babies.

Can't wait to see the next chapter.

5972531 I normally take a while with chapter updates but I am on vacation from work this week and am on kind of on a roll with this one. The next chapter probably won't have a sex scene, though it will be important for story development but the one after probably will.

Who casually masturbates during a story?

...have I been around weird people? Is it normal to?

6863265 Usually not, but thought Fluttershy won't really be in sex scenes in this story I still decided on a slightly different take on her than I have seen from most authors. I tend to see Fluttershy either have her shyer side reflected in her views on sex or have her be a tad on the slutty side. Though Fluttershy probably won't be in any major sex scenes in this particular story (I do have other story ideas where she will be though) my idea is that she thinks that sex is not a big deal, she sees it as a natural function in large part due to her many years of witnessing animals mating.

I thought as an animal caretaker she would have to deal with sex as animals don't tend to have the same inhibitions about that as humans or in this case ponies might. I am thinking of doing a comedy story when Fluttershy first finds out about sex, she sees two animals mating (I am thinking bears) and thinks they are trying to hurt each other only to later find out what they are actually doing.
