So I made the feature box. · 2:44pm Dec 26th, 2013
I have a lot of stories that I would have rather gotten featured, but I'll take it.
Thank you to those that commented.
3 heats started as with me wanting to write something without any western taboos impressed on the ponies. They're nether human, patriarchal, or judeo-christian, so I wanted to cut those taboos from them. Once I get a few stories finished, I think I'm going to return to that idea with a HiE comedy clop.
In other news, I'm still plugging away at a big story. Pandora should be pretty good once it's done. I have a short, G-rated, Scootaloo story that I work on when I don't have time or inclination to put serious thought into writing.
Immutable and Stars Relit both might see new chapters in the coming month. Both of those stories suffer from the same problem, I've written myself into a dip in the story. I know exactly what going to be happening, in a chapter or two, it's juts getting there is killing me.
I take it your HiE concept will involve a human reacting to the lack of the taboos he's used to? That might actually make for a HiE clopfic worth reading.
Of course, were it in my hands, the human would quickly find himself cornered by Pinkie.
But back to my proofreading efforts.
1651901 Yes, here is the stub I have for it.
Title: House of the Rising Sun
A fun narrative with culture shock. I'd make it a comedy, keep well away from dark/sad/tragic/ that road is littered with failed stories of this nature.
With the apparent 5 to 1 ratio of mares to stallions, brothels have a lot to explore in a story. We can also explore professional studding. Is that something that also happens in a pony brothels? Is pregnancy protection strictly the mares responsibility, there in turning the brothel into a stud farm. Or maybe Stud farms are a wink-nudge place to just get laid without intention of getting pregnant.
Western morals should be thrown out the door here too. Equestrian sex taboos should really have their own flavor. Living gods remove all religious gray zones, and equines share males to begin with.
As for condoms, you can take or leave them. You have magic as a default explain-away. STIs do not have to exist in this world, actually makes it a bit more fun if they don't. Or, if they do their not more dangerous than a cold and maybe some have funny magical-symptoms, think poison joke.
