//------------------------------// // Brush PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Good morning, Brush. Sorry for contacting your out of the blue, but your stories have enchanted me. I actually remember Midnight Castle from when I was a foal. At the time they were one of the few colt fiction stories available, and the only ones with any depth, so I did enjoy them considerably. Don't tell my sister, but I have a first edition signed collection of volumes one and two. (My parents are quite well off and despite their strictness they have always pampered me considerably.) I must ask, have you written anything before? There are some minor grammar issues, and certain phrasings could be better, but your fiction is nothing short of inspiring. The way you merge emotion and action is something I've rarely seen before; and I'm talking as a soon to be literature graduate. I'm not exaggerating, when I say you're better than many published authors. Hoping and looking forward to your reply, MasterOfThisAstra Thanks :) I always enjoy when pones like my writing. I'm not anywhere near prof level. :D which of my stories have you read? Brush All of them, actually. I'm PaintDrop's brother. Maybe I should have mentioned that earlier. She did a printout of all your stories and is doing artworks for them. I just happened to stumble upon them yesterday and, well, got hooked. To be perfectly honest, I found the notion of my sister visiting a Midnight Castle forum alarming at first. The majority of such places are, honestly speaking, quite suggestive. And her best friend isn't a good influence on her either. I must admit, though, after reading your work, and some of the others', I'm rethinking my stance on the matter. You most definitely write well, and I'm being a hundred percent objective here. My sister can easily ace college level essays, and her friend, as much as I hate to admit it, is a competent editor, but none of them come close to your work. Even I don't think I could pull that off. MasterOfThisAstra Omg! You're PaintDrop's brother?! Never thought you'd join the site! :))) Guess I owe her a story, huh? PaintDrop said you wanted to read something non-humie. I have a few of those, but they're really crap. No prob to write something dedicated, just tell me what you're into :) Brush That's remarkably sweet of you. Before I make a request, there's something I'd like to ask you. Apologies in advance for being insensitive. Are you really a mare? Your writing seems way too gentle and sensitive, almost hurting, to be a mare. MasterOfThisAstra Lol! No worries, I get that a lot. I've lost count how many times fans have hit on me thinking I'm a stallion. (You know there are no stallions on the net :P) What about you? Are you really a stallion? Brush Yes, I most certainly am. And my parents never let me forget it. Sorry for going on a rant, but this is pretty much one of the few times I get to talk to a mare without my parents going all alicorn on me. Don't misunderstand, I love my parents, and I am grateful to them, but they have outdated views on certain things, sons in particular. While my sister gets free reign, along with all the shouts and groundings that includes, I'm treated as a fragile bunny that would shatter if I set one hoof out of home. Little wonder they sent me to a Celestial College. Sorry, I tend to rant a lot at times. For some reason I feel you're somepony who'd understand. Thanks for listening. MasterOfThisAstra Oh :( You don't get out much, do you? A close friend of mine had really restrictive parents. She rebelled, doing the craziest things ever, to the point they just let her do what she wanted. Guess it's different being a stallion. Not that it's not cool, but are you okay sharing this with a pony you've just met? Brush I think I know you better than you think. You put a lot in your writing. For one thing, I strongly suspect you really are a pegasus. Also, you seem more hurt than you let others think. I wouldn't be surprised if you hide behind a mask (trust me, I know all about that). I also think that you're much older than my sister, or at least have gone through a lot more experiences than her, not all of them pleasant I think. Sorry, professional inclination. What I'm trying to say is, can I read something by you? I mean the real you. It doesn't have to be human, though I'll read it even if it is. Again, I don't want to come as pushy or strange, but your writing resonates strongly with me, all much so that you're a mare. No offense, but most of those I've met were jerks or snobs, or both. MasterOfThisAstra I don't know what to say. You've read my stuff, right? As you've seen it's a bit... extremely snugly. What am I saying? Glass of Water has a ten page scene of the characters fucking like rabbits. Are you sure you want to read my unedited works? Pones in the forum joke a lot, but some of them have read the stuff I haven't put online... and they agree there's a reason for that. Brush You really don't have to try and shock me. My parents will find you despicable, I'm sure. Just because I'm a stallion doesn't mean I'll faint after reading erotica. And I have no idea how the conversation got here. I usually don't go so far out. I still want to read more of your works, and maybe even sneak a meeting with you? MasterOfThisAstra Hold on. You are asking me out?! *confused look* I thought your parents were all strict and such. Brush Stallions can do that, you know. As for my parents, what they don't know won't hurt them. MasterOfThisAstra Where have you been all my life? :D Brush I can't believe I wrote that. I was so convinced you'd laugh me off as a fancolt. Who knew what desperation could achieve? MasterOfThisAstra *nuzzles* Disappointed? Brush Not on your life! *wink* I think this hasn't sunk in yet, though. Tartarus, my parents would be so pissed. Nopony's ever good enough for their little prince. I have an important exam, so no chance I'll be home for the next week... so want to meet once I'm back from college? Hope you are okay with me being an earth pony. MasterOfThisAstra Please, stop my pounding heart! *faints* Whenever you can I'm cool. Just keep in mind I'm different in real life, so don't be expecting a mare in shining armor. :P Brush Too late. I'll write to you when I get the chance. See you soon. MasterOfThisAstra
