Just a quick note here before I begin. I've moved all my promotions to 
Story Promotion — "Of Swords And Hearts" · 12:31am May 31st, 2014
Have another story promotion! 
“Chains,” is a sadistic dominatrix who loves to torture the stallions under her control. Winding Sheets is a cunning courtesan. Love is just a fairy tale to them.
When circumstances force them to assist with Celestia’s Veterans Rehabilitation Program, they find themselves charged with the life, stability and trust of two mentally-scarred stallions. Despite their hardened hearts, will these two mares rediscover what love actually is?
Collaborative Story with the awesome Comet Burst.
Edited by the incredible Bad_Seed_72
Cover art by Angelea Pheonix. Go check her work out!
So this is the super-secret project I've been editing for two awesome authors, vren55 and Comet Burst. You may be familiar with their other works, including Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and The Golden Armor. Both of these guys write some seriously top-notch stuff, and this story is no different.
I won't give away too much, but if you enjoy dark romance stories, along with great characterization and slice of life, check this out! Oh and be sure to give some love to the artist behind that awesome coverart (rawr! 
), Angelea-Phoenix.
Enjoy! Have a happy Friday, everyone.
Snow Drop looks so cute in that pic.
Dark? Two mares that like to manipulate? And these two are dealing with wounded veterans?
You set off a few warning bells, Badsy. Can I call you Badsy? Fuck it, I'm calling you Badsy. ANywho, you know me, and I'm not one to play the Offended Card, but this is a subject matter that, possibly obviously, is a touchy subject to me. Is this anything I should worry about?
2160226 THE HNNGH IS REAL!!!
2160228
Yes, you can call me Badsy.
And I understand. Honestly, though, I don't think you don't have anything to worry about. Are these two bad apples? Yes indeedy. However, sometimes bad apples are wounded in their own ways... There will definitely be tension and issues, but nothing derogatory to veterans, or to the BDSM community, for that matter. 
Dam you, Babs, for posting that picture. I've got enough diabetes problems as it is
=0
2160228 Well first of all I have the utmost respect for veterans of all countries. Thus this by no way is meant to represent, and neither can it come even close to portraying the suffering undergone by various veterans.
Also... lets just say the too mares have too much on their plate to even think about manipulating their stallion partners...
2160233 Thanks for the promo! and I...

dat... Elsa and Snowdrop picture.
I can't breathe. I think my ribcage has collapsed.
Wait I forgot, I'm a snowman, I don't have bones.
Aww, Babs, you know I'm scared of the dark!

Well, I guess if you worked on it, I'm sure it'd be a tasteful mix of dark and romance. I eat my dark tags like I eat cheese: it can give a story a little extra zing, but I only like the flavor in combination with other ingredients and never eat it by itself. I might give it a try, on your recommendation.
However, I'm holding you accountable if I find it 2spooky. Don't be surprised if I jump into your bed whimpering and demanding security snuggles until the morning.

wow
EDIT: Wait, your name is "Bad Seed," not Babs Seed? Wow, how long have I not realize something I see in every comment or author name I've encountered regularly?

You're welcome. Sorry about the heart attack.

2160404
Yeah, it's "Bad Seed" (usually just "Bad" or "Seed") but I will answer to "Babs" too.
2160404 The dark theme is more for slightly grim and the BDSM background rather than actual spooky. XD
And frankly everyone calls her Babs Seed, even I do, but for the hyperlink I just used her User account name :P
2160367
2160233
Yeah, I was fairly sure. Author, if I ever insinuated that you would do such a thing, I'm sorry. Actually, I, uh... think I did... fuck...
Just one of those things that makes me, "Whoa, whoa, wat," you know?
2160447 Oh don't worry. I totally understand its a sensitive subject and you have every right to voice your criticism in the reasonable fashion you have so far.
Well...I must say that story looks interesting just from the cover art alone. I shall take a look.
Also, *looks at Snowdrop/Elsa pic*....HNNNNNNNNGGGGG

- vren55's quotes that you should never take seriously.
I saw this story in the Featured Box. Despite the glowing recommendation, it still feels too sketchy for my tastes.
Oh my gosh! Snowdrop and Elsa! That is just so.... Hold the phone! I think I just had an idea! But first, I must actually watch Frozen.
2160233 Can I call you Badsy?
2160593
I'm taking that so srs now
2160862
Fair 'nough.
Yes... Yes... Watch Frozen... Watch it...
It's incredible!
2160865
Sure!
2160865 2160980
. You wouldn't be enjoying it if you weren't reading something you weren't comfortable with... and while there is nothing explicit, the dark tag... is certainly apt and will be well deserved as the story advances.
Fair enough
2160980 Yay.
