The things I do for accuracy. · 2:48pm Dec 24th, 2017
I remember a long time ago, when I was writing the Twilight fic Desire and Deep Water, how I wanted to make Nurse Redheart's diagnosis on hypothermia as feasibly accurate as possible, so I researched it mid-writing. It's not unusual for me to do this sort of thing, apparently, since i did something similar in Tempest's fic with researching fireworks and their gunpowder properties.
And now, for my latest fic, I'm currently trying to figure out ballroom dancing mid-chapter. Writing romantic pony smut has made me more knowledgeable about real life than I care to admit. o_o
I literally do the exact same thing for my stories!
For my last Morning Meir Story, I researched and studied voodoo, so it was all based on real voodoo practices.
A good book will always be educational. It's just that sometimes they don't teach us the things we were expecting them to.
Are they biped?
If done properly its Equine Erotica not Pony Smut.

They're regular ponies, but there are many instances where they dance bipedal throughout the show. Ballroom dancing with a partner would probably be no different, but I can probably account for hooves in the dance routine as well.

I feel you when it comes to accuracy. In the fic that I am currently writing, I try and tie in Samurai culture. I've researched tons of ideals, virtues, strategies, and beliefs about the samurai in general. And it is really eye opening when you find out that samurai didn't really use swords and katanas that often, or that katanas actually SUCK in real life.
Not as fun as Celtic, IMO. Ponies are physically built for stepdancing.
I knew I wasn't the only one to does research to write fics!
I think the question is: Did you do research on pony smut before?

Actually, no. Most of my smut comes from writing it, reading it then re-writing it several times. I don't really read other clop, unless it's done by a friend or something. This is probably for the better because I don't wanna fall into the trap of sounding like every other writer out there.
I know the feeling. I'm always researching stuff to make them as believable as possible. For the DK story I'm working with, I needed to stop a gorilla from breaking out of a flooding room with a stone door. I spent about 5 hours just to calculate and find that Gabbro can do the job. Because its compressive strength is 225.00 N/mm2 which means it can take 32633.49 pounds of pressure; perfect at stopping a gorilla that can bench press 4600 pounds. And I did all of that work just to have the line...
.....what am I doing with my life?
And this is one of the reasons we love you.
Thanks for putting the work in. I appreciate attention to realism when I encounter it.
