Amazing fic. You have a really good talent for writing. I liked how everything was so descriptive without the use of vulgarities. :D

Thank you ~ When it comes to word choice, I find that vulgar terms, used frequently, or by default, are jarring and de-emphasize character; that's the assumption I'm working under, at any rate ^.^;;

Hey hey hey look at you go Ink! ^.^ This was a great fic to read while I drank my coffee! The fact no actual vulgarities were used is great and unique. I hope you feel inclined by the viewers and yourself to build a much larger story following Twilight and Sunset! Great work~

Romantic Survival.

Yes. I'm now imagining that as the new hit genre now. No more survival horror or zombie survivals. Pile on the Romantic Survival!

WTF... Like my mind is just processing this... It came together so well. I'm speechless. :twilightsmile:

I'm very glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the Fave! :twilightblush:

This was certainly a very different clop fic. I was always wondering when you would say "This word" or have something shown in "Those words", but none of those ever came. I could say this was possibly one of the best clop fics out there (Hopefully I am not embellishing too much) due to no vulgar words used in the dialogue of this story ever. I personally never use such vulgar terms in my own language, and might consider doing the same as you did... if I ever do come up with a clopfic that is half decent as this...

But again, kuddos to you man. I do not know if this is a question that is worth answering. How much fun was this to write without the usage of vulgar terms and if so, why did you not use those words that you describe as "Jarring and De-emphasizing Characters?"

Epsilon,
I can say that as this was my first piece like this, my word choice felt fun and natural. I wasn't thinking in vulgar, coarse nouns and taking time to soften them. These are young characters and my hope was for an intimate, emotional scene, so using any harsh language they would not credibly use themselves would presumably only act as a firm boot to the reader; it would distance the reader from how the characters relate emotionally and sensually to the situation, and draw their focus to harsh words and expected sexual milestones. But I don't mean to say I thought all this out as I was nonstop typing it (the original grammatical errors are still present, after all), but instead, I just let, perhaps, compassion for the characters inform my choices as much as possible. This is a passionate and special moment for these characters, so in their moment of intimacy, I hope I could write them respectfully.

6240386 Wow... pretty cool, Ink. I could honestly say (And truthfully as well) that I have indeed written a story that is rated "M" for mature as well... but for another more... horror aspect reason. And funnily as well, I never used any harsh language in the story as well. There were no random "F" or "S" words. No vulgar terms either except for maybe a few relating to the whole "Dear Celestia" or "Good Goddess." :rainbowlaugh:

In all truth though as well, this is the first story I have read that never used any sexual terms. To describe in detail what really was going on, I tip my hat to you for your incredible work. Of course there are a few errors here and there... but that is to be expected when you write something so... intimate like this, especially describing the scenes to make it feel more realistic and such. It certainly gave me the warm fuzzy feeling inside. :twilightsmile: I probably am embellishing a little too much... so if I made you blush, my mistake. :twilightblush:

Hello again,
I'd submit that sometimes, harsh words are necessary, but only if in the service of narrative credibility; aggressive characters may think in terms they know would shock others, after all, and if somebody stubs a hoof painfully, I'd be surprised if even Fluttershy didn't let out a word that could make Angel a few shades whiter.

Those things said, I'm simply honored that you've taken the time to appreciate this piece and comment. Since again, I'm a beginner, it helps me a lot to recognize what aspects of the piece's craft were the most effective. However, of course, I'm interested in hearing from others about what did not work for them so I can consider adjustments in the future or in revisions.

Again, thank you for your kind comments, and of course, if this piece is warranting a blush, then I'll take on just a sliver of pride ~

The way you wrote this was so poetic, and beautiful. It works in a way other kinds have failed at. I thoroughly enjoyed this clopfic. Have a like. And my smile. :pinkiehappy:

Very well written but I can't help but wonder about the mention of a horn near the end. Is this Sunset an anthro or did she acquire her horn some other way?

Goodness, this was wonderful to read. I like the fact that you had human Twilight wondering if she were a replacement for the other.
My only question is was Sunset using her magic?

Good Evening ~
The story doesn't go to much explanation, but in this, the magical characters' Pony attributes essentially appear as they use them (horns, wings, etc.). :twilightsmile:

6557558 Ah, I gotcha! That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for clarifying. :twilightsmile:
