Update!!! And... question? · 4:21am Mar 22nd, 2015
Hello everypony! Just a quick little update on Equine Fall here! The latest chapter is coming along nicely, interrupted momentarily by the mourning of "Rainbows In The Night Sky" being concluded... (so sad, but a good ending! )
Anywho...
One of the most difficult things for a writer, in my opinion, is judging the boundaries of his/her work. Like, how far to take things, or deciding which things are too inappropriate to include in a rated T story opposed to a rated M. Well, I've come to this issue myself in the latest chapter, debating whether or not to include a scene that I had written earlier, but then realized that it may send the wrong message. In general, without giving away any spoilers, the scene depicted clearly shows something that may be seen as a bit "kinky," yet is not portrayed in any sexual way. The scene was originally written to be a slight bit of comedy, with a deeper symbolism included, as well as a possible bonding for the future of Twilight and Rainbow's relationship.
For those who care nothing about spoilers-----------------------> the scene involves urine in a way that someone may consider a bit "sexy"
Anyways, that is the main problem that I am facing before the release of the new chapter, and am having a hard time deciding on, even after consulting several of my friends. If you have an opinion on whether or not it would be suitable for the story, just PM me, or place a comment. If it involves the above spoiler, please put it in a Spoiler block, thx.

In the end, the story should evolve naturally. Nothing is worse than forcing a story into a direction it was not meant to go in, or away form a direction it was meant to go in.
If the scene is a natural development for the story. Include it.
if it's forced, leave it out.
As far as ratings go, well that's an American hang up. If it's non-sexual then it does not need an M rating.

A sort of "we're gonna' look back on this later and be like, that happened to make this happen" sort of thing...
