    Conlang Ponish

    Has anyone ever done a conlang workup of Ponish? It doesn't have to be GOOD but I could really use some idea what it might sound like to a non-Ponish speaker. I'm a novice conlanger and I COULD go down that rabbit hole, but it's probably not an effective use of my time.

    It's an effective use of someone else's time, tho. :ajsmug:

    Any help is appreciated.

    Getting Some of My Mojo Back

    Not sure what I'm going to do with it. Doing a lot of furry art and comics right now on Furaffinity, and my normie erotica is still what keeps the lights on.

    Miss horse butts and horse drama tho. And I have SO many unfinished fanfics.

    This Past Year Has Sucked

    And it's still ongoing. There are some things you want to do, something things you have to do for loyalty, and some things you have to do for survival. If there's an afterlife, I hope I can just write and draw and put things in a library when I'm done with them. It doesn't matter if anyone but God sees them. I want to make things forever without being interrupted by the needs of life.

Fallout Equestria Outline Done; Beta Readers Wanted · 2:53pm Nov 30th, 2019

TL;DR I need beta readers for episodic updates of a novel-length Fallout Equestria story, about 5K words every two weeks.

I will start revising the outline and writing the buffer soon and begin serializing in January. I'll be writing as I go based on the outline with probably a buffer of several chapters, and posting a chapter every two weeks or so. I'm looking for people who can pre-read the chapters for continuity or technical errors.

About the story:

AU for Fo:E, MLP, AND Fallout. If I come across canon I don't like, I just change it. :raritywink: Main difference is a Fallout pre-war tech level for pre-war Equestria, primarily because I like Covegas and Vertibirds. Plot is inspired by Fallout 4 (because I live in the Commonwealth IRL) but diverges quickly from it.

Lyra1 MC, with slow-burn Bon Bon romance as a secondary element. As per Fallout 4 Lyra starts the story with a husband and child, but don't get attached to them. :raritydespair: Bon Bon is based on Curie from Fallout 4.

Lyra, as a CSGU grad, has a much higher general magic level than Littlepip or Blackjack, so that's interesting.

I haven't decided if it'll be T or M rated -- because of who I am as a writer, it's much less druggy and rapey than seems to be average for Fallout: Equestria2, but it WILL be very violent. I haven't decided about detail level in the sex scenes yet, but I do like writing sex. So probably M.

What else would a beta reader read to know? I... um... think it's gonna be good? If you liked Battle of Canterlot, Strange Currencies, or Tempest Shadow: Mooby Road you might like this.

Estimated total novel length is between 65,000 and 110,000 words. The lower estimate is based on my historical average chapter length of 2,972 words/chapter in violent stories; the higher based on my future goal of 5K words/chapter.

DM me if you wanna volunteer. Thanks!

1 Lyra Zed has been my default female RPG name since the original Fallout game, and I like the idea of a canon character in Fo:E

2I've only read the original and parts of Project Horizons. Boy howdy is Project Horizons a rapefest. Stallion rape, mare rape, everypony getting raped. I'm a wimp about writing/reading that kind'a thing. Funnily I can only remember one mention of rape in the games and they tiptoe around using the actual word. It does seem like plausible Raider behavior, but I prefer not to think about it. As far as drugs go, I've just never done them, so I always feel cringey when I try to write them.
