And I somehow missed a big milestone. · 1:00am Sep 26th, 2012
Well I suppose it can't be helped now.
The 50 followers mark kind of sneaked by me and now suddenly I have a nice big 62. C'mon guys, I only need seven more and we have an actually awesome number.
Anyway this blog post comes with an announcement. I've obviously got a whole ton of requests to get to and I apologize for not getting to them in a more timely manner. I apologize even more for what is about to be a nice big delay.
I present to you, my modest fans, EQAD's Cloptober http://www.equestriaafterdark.net/2012/09/eqads-cloptober-writing-event.html
As a clop author known for quantity over quality, I'm practically obligated to compete. However this will cause a delay of at least the entirety of October while I try to get 50.000 words together.
However, the other thing I am known for is writing clop on request.
The idea I have currently is to write a full blown over 50,000 word choose your own adventure story in which you can hook up with every single named stallion in the show (and more no doubt). Choice of race will change the scenes, and there will hopefully be quite a few fun endings and branching paths.
Now you're probably wondering what this has to do with requests. Well the answer, my loyal flock, is that you get to make a few choices about this story. To start tell me your fetishes and who should have them. I also need to know whether or not to throw in some rule63s. Finally the big thing here is that somepony's luck OC gets to be included in a special scene. (Well two of them really, but one's already been decided.) I'm too lazy to come up with a contest, so please tell me why your OC should be in this CYOA.
Now that said, I haven't begun writing yet (I do have to wait until October after all) so if my fans here have some better ideas please feel free to give them to me.
Congrats man. I remember when you were just starting out! Seemed like only last week.
When you get all big and famous, don't you forget about us little guys, ya' hear?
That sounds really neat, how do you plan on writing this?
The traditional skip to page or scripting? There's some really nice scripting options out there for authors, to simplify stats, remember choices and names. Either way, this sounds like it would be fun!
The only fetish I can think of right now that I hardly ever see is hooves. Like, hooves, not transposed foot fetish.
Oh and congratulations on fifty, and soon to be sixteyniney
383817 I was planning on making it a skip to page, at least for the post here on fimfiction. If you have anything you think an amateur could work with involving scripting thought then I'd like to see it.
Oh and could you please be a little more clear. You mean a hoof fetish that is kind of like a foot fetish? As in using hooves in a more active role during intercourse?
383757 How could I forget one of my first followers? Thank you for your continued support.

Choicescript is probably one of the best options out there for scripting. It's biggest use, atm, is for apps, but when done it's just an html page with some javascript, very versatile and easy to distribute.
I was going to post Quest5, as they just released CYOA mode for their editor, but I just gave them a quick lookover, pleasant gui and all, but it does not seem to support scripting for CYOA. Which is kind of odd. It seems to be more just linking to pages, which in this case would be best to do directly on Fimfiction.
Though, I must say in my biased opinion, that I would love to see adult pony games in Choicescript.
But yeah, if you're interested, it might be worth checking out.
Anyway, hooves <.<
What I meant was how. usually if a pony has a hoof fetish in fanfiction, it will just be footfetish. You know? Just a footfetish with the word hooves replacing feet.
But hoof fetish is more focused on the actual hoof- biting it, exploring it, especially unshorn fetlocks tend to be very cute.
Not so much the "I walked on these all day, now clean them footslave!" and more just.. hoof worship I guess.
And yeah just letting it take an active role in foreplay. It was the first thing that came to mind that I'd like to see-
386690 Thanks for the link. I'll be posting it on fimfiction first still most likely (if only so I can pass it off as fanfiction for the contest) but I'm sure this will make the eventual finished project look much nicer.
I think I understand how to write the scene now, so thanks for clarifying. If possible I would still like for you to name a stallion you want to see this scene with. Bare in mind that this thing won't necessarily be one scene per stallion. You'll just have to do different things to earn different scenes.

Very welcome, I think that sounds like a good idea.
Hm, well, I would love to see it with Pokey, personally. But yeah, sounds like a good move, more scenes and choices for each stallion, gives some flexibility, and might make it easier to hit 50k, maaybe.
But yeah, good luck! Sounds like it will be fun. Will there be an arc to carry the player through all the branches? Or a free world ish feel?
387679 The plan is to make it arc based. You won't be able to go backwards basically. There will be many arcs though, and probably multiple scenes per arc.

Ah, good, and yeah going backwards in text adventures is a pain. I'll be looking forward to see how it turns out, pretty big project, and good addition to the m/m library.
R63 characters would be pretty neat. You don't really find many of those (and the few that can be found seem to be dead). If you do include R63, try to make it so that it isn't a spell or anything (as in, they've always been that way, and didn't suddenly change genders). A good fic I've found which has this would be "Blitzing the Field" which I thought was rather well written.
Also, try to keep away from the characters being OOC. I've seen too many clop fics (usually with an SI) ruined by OOC characters, such as Rarity acting like a complete slut, Rainbow being a complete jerk, etc. It's incredibly annoying.
Anyway, good luck with the fic. I've always enjoyed a choose your own adventure fic.
