Are you open to the suggestion of a sequel?

I've already got a sequel in the planning stages.

I think the hat mann covered most every ones questions

What changed between the first and second versions of the story if anything?

Did the story come out as you originally planned? Are you pleased with peoples responses?

What was your inspiration for selecting a bat pony as the prostitute character? What refrence did you use for their society?
I really liked the way you used Starlights' dancing to show her life story and source of hope for the future. Did you draw on this from ballet or opera?

Are you looking for an editor/proofreader?

Have you ever thought of the possibility of Daniel X Starlight? ((did I say it right?))

I got the idea of using a batpony from a few clopfics I read (don't judge me), in which a human hires a batpony prostitute and has sexytimes with her. They were mediocre, but they did plant an idea in my head. As for their society, well, I'm not sure where it came from. I guess I just made it up as I went.

If it's a clopfic you're talking a about, the answer is "no". If someone else wants to write an...intimate scene featuring Daniel and Starlight, they are free to do so.

Any chance we get to see the Ponywho promised her the stars only to leave her crashing back to the ground? I also believe that names sometimes offers a glimpse to the lives of someone, so my next question is: what's the name of her kid?

I never judge....I have to admit I've read a couple myself! The Red Shoe Diaries are particularly good, I thought. The intimacy (and not just the sex) of some of the stories was very well portrayed. That is what I enjoyed the most in your story; two beings, both lonely and in need of companionship find each other and connect in a much more intimate way than a random sexual encounter....they come to know and respect each other as individuals. I guess that sounds sappy but I think that is what most of us really want anyway. Thanks for showing it the way you did. It will be one of my favorites!

If Daniel and the batpony were voiced, what would they sound like?

Will the sequel have a bit more polish in regards to grammar? This one was a bit rough to read.

That's my job to come in and sort out. I've already volunteered myself as a proof-reader to help iron out these grammar mistakes Flint makes regularly (and hopefully leads to him noticing them as he writes). In fact, we've already gone back through and fixed stuff up so you should see an improvement if you ever are to re-read it.

Granted, I am not an expert at grammar by any stretch of the imagination, but I know enough that applying it to this fic can lead to a noticeable improvement.

3201036 I meant romance. sShipping.

Why did you delete the coverart?

3201120
She might.

Also, I've decided to name the kid "Slate".

Cover art seems different. Is it just me or was it changed. Not sure, i'm bad with remembering stuff

3205287
It was. A user complained that it was a depiction of their OC.

Will twilight be more actively part of the sequel?

3208786
I don't plan on it...

Daniel would sound like a man who wants to take a break from life; his voice would be low, tired, and maybe a little raspy.

Starlight would initially sound like somepony who's just going through the motions, but overtime, she'd become more animated.

3210564 3 dots after the sentence means maybe!!!:pinkiehappy:
Wooo and you know what they say, maybe's just a baby waiting to grow up and say yes!!!!
