Herds · 7:32pm Jul 29th, 2018
This is a topic I’ve put off discussing for quite a long time - I’ve read many fics on this site that included the ponified concept of polygamy, and I found a lot of them to be interesting, well-done, and admittedly in some cases... sexy
When I first started my story, I chose not to include herds because I didn’t trust in my own ability to implement the concept in a way that fit, organic to the story, or even in a way that would make it interesting. As far as my story is presently concerned, there are herds in my story-canon but they’ve become rarer due to more colt births in recent generations
I’m reading a fic now that prominently features herds and honestly it’s making me more and more want to include herds but at this point so far into the story it would feel like shoehorning it... unless I could present herds in the story in a somewhat controversial but ultimately positive light
I want to take my work into a more ‘mature’ direction but I’m not experienced in writing that way other than a few light touches of cussing and mild adult jokes here and there.
So, I would like to hear from you, my readers, how would TSR feel to you to include herds and a somewhat more adult flavor of writing?
Either comment or send me PMs titled ‘Herds & Mature Content’
I don't think it would be a good ideas as it would change the dynamic of the story too much, but could be something that used to be done and is only occasionally done and not very populor.
If you can do herds well, than try it to see how it works.
I think it really depends on the story and the setting established thus far. It also depends on the characters and how they've been portrayed.
It might not really matter. Often when herd inclusive stories, herds aren't the only relationship model. You have single couples as well as herds. What you could do is approach it from Midnight's perspective, as his upbringing might have made him less aware of herding in the practical sense so he's still a little unsure of the idea.
