    Been a while...

    Hi folks. How are you doing? Been a while. I like to imagine in the great solar system that if FimFic I'm some trans-Neptunian object that only occasionally comes into view intermittently before wandering out to the cold antipodes of space to which I belong. Personally life has been the same. Some original writing. Glacial progress on Homelands, but its not dead. I'm going to be at EFNW in

    Feeling better. Also, an interview.

    So my temperature is almost back to normal and I feel a lot better. Hopefully in a month or two I can get an antibody test and find out if that was C19 or just flu. Anyway, either way, doing better.

    I'm also going to be doing an interview for the midair pony faire on twitch. It'll be on Horizons, Homelands, and Worldbuilding in general.

    C19, cons, and other stuff.

    So 2020 sucks. It just sucks. I'm sick with something and waiting on a C19 test. Hopefully it's just a flu or some junk.
    But there is something good happening on the 25th. Ponyfest Online is a discord con and I'm going to be holding an hour long discussion on character creation, evolution and development.

Ugh... can't decide... · 5:05pm Aug 16th, 2015

Okay... so I have a fic idea I want to work on. It involves sex. It involves clop. It involves story.

What I can't decide is if I want it to be anthro or pony. It's something to fap off to, but I think it might also be something to care about also.

So... thoughts? Or should I just drop this.

Also, I am a dirty, dirty pervert... sigh... stupid head!

The description is pretty vague considering the fact, that there are people who get aroused at the sight of gore... Could you be a little bit more specific about the plot idea? :pinkiecrazy:

3324030 Erm... The CMC's get their cutie marks... Please don't hate me!

I would say pony , as I tend to care less about anthro , associating it with pointless clop .
I believe that you have the skill to pull it off anyway , so let's have a real story with some good clop and characters we can care for. :pinkiehappy:

There's nothing wrong at all with writing clop, sir.

If you're very torn between anthro and pony, really the best way to decide is to consider how beneficial fingers would be to achieving the results you desire. If they would add to the clopping experience, then go with anthro, if not then it's fine to stay with pony. Also, breasts. I keep forgetting that's a thing that matters to most other people.

Sir, I've been sailing with you on the accursed ship that has been christened Horizons for too many years to count by now. In that time I've witnessed deeds so vile and mind shattering, that weaker spirits have declared you the Antichrist of FoE and turned their backs on you. But not me, no Sir not me - this tortured soul recognizes a good story when it sees one. Let your insanity flow freely I say, so you may give us another glorious tale!

Anthro or pony you ask? What's the difference I say! We're all going straight to Davy Jones' locker for this either way :pinkiecrazy:

Simple.

Pick a number between 1 and 6.

(Each number has been randomly assigned pony or anthro)


Also, CMC?
I think you could pull it off.
Iv spent the latter parts of high school and my early college days(thus far) reading you, I have faith.

Pony of course.

Anthro is only for the filthy casuals :moustache:

Pony. IMHO, anthro is meh.

Ponies are cute. Humans are cool. Combining them don't give you cool and cute, rather you get abominations so deep into the uncanny valley that it's not even funny anymore. If I saw one of those things outside my window I would run for my baseball bat and then curl up in a ball in a corner; shivering.

Pony please. I refuse to read anthro stories. The ponies aren't anthros and with the exception of a few stories that include the transformation as part of the plot, its really just an excuse for the ponies to be sexy and human-ish rather than full human or full pony. And nearly every time there is no reason for it.

Which level of abomination do you mean when you think about your nightmares?

I tend to find pony, and to a lesser extent human (Depends on the context: EQG or doing something interesting with them being human? Good. Everyone is randomly human for no reason, and it doesn't really make a difference anyway? Bad.), to be easier to take seriously than anthro, from a story and character perspective anyway. So I'd say pony.

Also, I have a gut feeling that more people would have squick/moral problems with underaged anthros than ponies. But that's just a guess.

Eh...

Anthro stuff is not my cuppa. Clop stuff is definitely not my cuppa. Clop and anthro? I am certain it will be well written from a technical standpoint, but I will be giving this a miss.

Just my 2p.

I don't mind furry artwork and aesthetic. It's natural to me because I grew up watching Disney movies (the ruination of a generation!) so generally speaking I don't mind anthro stuff.

But for some reason anthro ponies are creepy as hell to me. It's just... anthro is a thing, and ponies are a thing, and they're both good things, so why mix them??

Again, that's just me. It's almost an uncanny valley effect for me and I don't know why.

Are we finally getting that sex scene between Blackjack and Lancer?

Ponies, please~♡

Sigh.... it looks like the consensus is pretty firmly on the side of pony. I'll try my best..

3324909 You really want that? O.o

Y'know what I says? Four legs is much better'n two. :eeyup:

That makes sense since PH has some sexual scenes. but pick the one thats easier to write.

3325122 While it'll probably be non-canon, the general consensus appears to be "Yes"
We want our amusing hate-sex between BJ and Lancie
Don't feel bad, we're all perverts at some level; some are just more vocal about it

3324491 Not gonna lie, Centaur-Twi looks adorable~

3326552
Which level of hell did your sense for aesthetics spawn from? :rainbowhuh:

When it comes to Lancer x Blackjack I imagine it to being less hate-sex and more Lancer whining "I've been defiled and I feel both dirty and guilty. No mare will want to have me after those things yesterday..." the day after while BJ simply strikes a Fonze pose and says "Ayyyy".

Why not both? no reason not to involve both ponies and anthros... because magic?

3324491 Why the Hell do those horses have cloven hooves?

3327087
Cloven hooves? I haven't noticed that... Goat Simulator has gone too far! :rainbowderp:

3327087 Some versions of the unicorn have weird combinations of features, like cloven hooves like a goat's or deer's and a tail like a lion's, for instance in heraldry: often depicted as a horse with a goat's cloven hooves and beard, a lion's tail, and a slender, spiral horn on its forehead. Apparently the oldest known description of unicorns is this: wild asses, fleet of foot, having a horn a cubit and a half (700 mm, 27 inches) in length, and colored white, red and black.


3325122 Well, it was a scene that was hot and filled with sexual tension, but no sex. What did you think would happen when you gave it to readers?

3326885 Well, he did try to kill her, didn't he?
Belligerent sexual tension~♡

Slap-slap-kiss and all that

OK, fine, I can accept that for historical unicorns or other fantastical settings. This is based on mlp unicorns.
pic related, not a cloven hoof.

Yes I know I'm being a pedant, but this is such a bloody simple detail to get wrong and it is just bothering me so much. I'll just stop uselessly ranting about it now. :ajbemused:

All of my yes.

I'm in. Need some new ...funtime material.

3328694 Aww, look, they really do love each other~♡

I have no issue with clop, and I doubt most people here do. Also nothing wrong with anthro, friend.

Personally i think it might be better as pony

3324063 Well, thanks to new FimFic regulations, if that's the plot, you HAVE to do it as pony, as all anthro foalcon is banned.

On a related side note: Fimfic and MLPforums are overmoderated. Does anyone know of any popular mlp-focused social networks that are unmoderated?

Hooves > hands

Pony please, anthro just doesn't sit very well with most people.
I don't mind usually, but if it's the CMC. Nope, sorry :|
