Winning Pony Fanart Because with all the awesome fanart Inuhoshi-to-Darkpen has been putting out for the story, I'd be a fool not to offer as much encouragement as possible to keep the awesome pictures coming.
The Incredibly Interesting Date with the Nonwinning Human
BronyWriter brings us a nice crossover between his work and mine. Let's face it, if Cloud kicker ran into a Human she probably would at least look into the viability of banging one.
Latest Stories Cloud Kicker might just have the wildest life of any pony in Equestria. Marvel at the insanity that is her life, and laugh at the suffering of her poor beleaguered best friend, Blossomforth.
This is a semi-sequel to "The Incredibly Dense Mind of Rainbow Dash." Not really a proper sequel, since it's focused on Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth instead of Rainbow and Pinkie, but it's in the same continuity. So I guess that makes it a follow-up-side-quel story. Or something. You don't need to have read "The Incredibly Dense Mind of Rainbow Dash" to read or enjoy this, but you ought to read it anyway, just because.
This story runs parallel to Ponibius' "The Study of a Winning Pony"
Also, Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth still need their own tags. They're too awesome to spend their lives stuck under the "other" tag.

Rainbow Dash and Cloud Kicker have been good friends for years now. But when Cloud Kicker comes to Ponyville for one last visit before heading off to join the Royal Guard, Rainbow has to face some difficult questions about just what she wants to do on what might be their last chance to hang out in a long time. Her decision might be a little easier to make if Cloud spent less time thinking about banging and more time thinking about her awesome friend, Rainbow Dash.
Obviously, this calls for a night on the town. And booze. Lots and lots of booze.

>>481606 - Sweet! Thanks a lot.

Yeah, you can have my version of Cloud Kicker cameo in your fic.
Dear Mr. Chengar.
I was wondering if I may have a certain winning pony make a cameo in future chapter of my fic? The chapter in question will have my OC, Flare Blitz, interacting with a few background ponies and I was hoping to include Cloud Kicker among them.
Cheers
Ausbrony.
The thing I still want to see the most in all these stories is more about the "foal of love" concept. I'd love to see you explore that idea more. So I can shamelessly copy it later on!
I mean...
(and maybe eventually convert you to AppleDash, but that's for another day!
)
Do carry on with the winningverse, good sir!

I wish I had an artist who did artwork for my stories
Guess we all can't be that lucky...
>>463345
Inuhoshi-to-Darkpen contributes a majority of the artwork for his projects.
Do you do your own art, or does someone do it for you?
I have a question that came to me after re-reading your Life and times story recently. Now this may be me seeing conspiracies where there is only a coincidence but I still have to ask, do you hold some strong dislike of males?
What makes me ask is in the story you make many overt actions to exclude and even invalidate any males in the universe you created. I'll go through what i can remember and how I interpreted them.
1) The royal guard: In the show the royal guard is as far as we see, exclusively male. Almost all fanfic writers alter this in their stories to be inclusive to both genders since that makes allot more sense to the kind of world Equestria exists in. Some even alter things to be where Stallions are the minority to fit with gender population ratios. However in your story you took the stallions in the military and reduced them to a joke. You state that the stallions aren't guarding the princess because they are capable or earned their position, but rather that they are eye candy. This becomes even more concerning with the revelation that all the Equestrian military we see are Mares. You follow this up by having the notable heroes of the past also exclusively female, do you feel in Equestria stallions are too inept to contribute?
2) Love and sexuality: You present a world to us where (at least for mares) sexuality is very fluid. That it is more about love than what lies between the legs. A result of this combined with a small male pop. leaves us with a large amount of mare-mare relationships. This is not uncommon at all in the fandom and is actually a kind of uplifting idea...then you go and make it uncomfortable. You take this rather sweet idea and shove it into the highest degree. None of the characters are seen being romantically interested in stallions, available or not. Then you make it where mares can reproduce with mares resulting in a 0% chance of male children which with the percent of stallions in relationships (compounded by the fact that every mare-stallion offspring you introduce is a filly) leads to the conclusion that males are being completely bred out for an all female pop. Is this some kind of ideal world to you, the elimination of the male gender? (Due to neither partner being able to birth we are left to assume that stallions cannot reproduce together so even homosexual stallions get left behind it seems). The lengths you go to keep stallions out of relationships is staggering really. Rarity (a character who is looking for a 'prince' in cannon), is now interested in AJ (I never understood fans interest in this pairing or why so many make Rarity interested in mares when she is the closest thing to a mane six character being strait in cannon). Even CK who is described as having little to no reservations about partners, has fallen in love exclusively with mares and is only described as entering one night stands with mares...
3) Speaking roles aka Stallions are to be seen, not heard: This one is rather short, its just the point that stallions do not speak in your story. They don't hold supportive roles in the plot, nor are they even used as throwaway characters. If a character is introduced with the need to perform most any action in the plot it will without a doubt be a mare. I once pointed this out and you response was that Bigmac had a scene... First, he showed up in once scene. Second, his only role in the scene was to comment on his sister hooking up with Rarity, so it appears in the one case you used a stallion was only in reference to female characters.
4) 'The Pony Who Is a Battle-Tested Wing Blade': This covers what is currently the latest chapter in the story so possible spoilers. In this chapter you break new ground by not only introducing a male character who you were not forced to because of show cannon (re: Bigmac and Shining Armor) but making him a fleshed out and sympathetic character who the reader really feels for. You gave him an actual personality and role in the chapter, to be honest I was shocked at how well he was done. I would have thought you would shove him in the back, say he's sad and then forget about him in favor of your female cast considering your past actions. Then you take a jump back after a nice step forward with Shining Armor. You make him rude, arrogant, declare him as undeserving of his position and simply there because he 'slept his way to the top', even though we are not given this character in the show. You really have built a world in which a stallion has no right no be in power haven't you? How did CK's dad get in his position? I suppose it was just his family lineage an not because he deserves it?
I'm probably missing other instances that would contribute to how I feel about this stories tone against males as there are so many but hopefully the ones I mentioned make the point (I would point out how you made every single one of the mane six romantically into mares but frankly its hard to find non-porn fics that don't). I would find this treatment of the female gender in a story to be extremely disturbing and see no reason why I shouldn't feel the same way when its done to males. Your story leaves the impression that Equestria is, while not perfect, a wonderful place and the ponies that live there are generally good at heart. It's because of this that the extremely negative at males undertone that flows through your story show so glaringly to me. Long winded point being, what did you intend to convey? Do you actively seek to exclude stallions and put them down or was this simply a coincidence? If it was accidental do you feel any of these observations has merit?
I sincerely hope that you are able to simply show me as being mistaken and explain this away as I would much prefer to believe this is all accidental on your part and not some strange literary campaign for a one gender utopia of Equestria.

I think I get a lot more editor-credit than I really deserve thanks to managing the Winningverse. I'm really only canon-checking things, and commenting on any other issues I see as I do that.
