Religion Groups · 10:29am Apr 8th, 2020
One of the major advantages Fimfiction has over other writing sites is its groups. Looking for something specific? You need find only one example and, odds are, its already part of a group, letting you indulge to your heart's content. There's groups for scenarios, characters, and even fetishes. However, there is once scenario that's intrigued me for some time, but I've yet to spy it. Religion.
One pony meme is that the alicorns are pony gods/goddesses, and it certainly makes sense given how they're initially represented in the show. Naturally, this had made it into fan stories with different authors playing around with the idea. By far the best example I've ever seen is kudzuhaiku's Weedverse series, especially this portion https://www.fimfiction.net/story/354288/the-mask-makes-the-pony. So my question becomes where there isn't a group for this topic. It's not like there's a lack of content. Though I can guess that the answer is that a religion group might make some people uncomfortable, but I don't really see the problem if its all fiction. Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance not only has spiritual overtones, but religious practices and enforcement, and everybody seemed to like it.
I suppose I could always make this group myself, but I'd still like to know if there's something already out there; somewhere where a myriad of stories can congregate around the idea of the alicorns as goddesses, maybe with a church, practices and practitioners, and all that stuff. Thoughts or recommendations?
Almost every story i know of here has some sort of religious conotation, be they princesses or other gods or worlds beyond. I would imagin that religion would be too broad to simply categorize.
While i have seen some that direclty address pony religous beliefs they are either not the central factor of the story or determined to make no specific point about it. What i am saying is that i would have no idea what stories would populate this category, but i also find myself intigued with what others would consider putting in there. Go ahead.
Do it!
There's that one with the french HiE friar that's pretty good. I don't remember its exact name, but you could find it by searching 'friar', I think. I looked at your user page after I commented on your story and saw this blogpost looking for suggestions n stuff.
