Hello everypony! It's me, Pixel Berry, and so far I am still trying to choose which one to choose. I had one already in mind, but I didn't want some of you mares and stallions upset of my result. So now, I decided to list some ideas I have and what you gave me around the 'Poison Jokes' affect on Yemei.
A small heads up, Yemei will be in her 'Poison Joke' form till the episode "Bridal Gossip" comes in this fanfic, so, not putting too much pressure but Yemei will be this way for awhile.
Here are the Choices:
~Yemei turns into a Pony
~Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf forms
~Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony
~Yemei becomes Older
That's all so far, but I'd like you to choose which one you'd like the most. The more votes, the better. And even though my Fanfic isn't super famous, I would really love if I had some fan art(Maybe for a New Cover) or more compliments and appreciation around my book. I really think out the box for my books. I want them to be different and stand out.
So, until next time, see ya!
~Update~
Alright Everypony, it has just been two days and already there is a lot of comments on what you'd like to happen. Some ponies unsure on what to pick between two things and one just explaining the reasonable outcome on each choices of affects. For the ones unsure on two choices, I decided to just add the two on the voting chart. So! Here's the votes so far!
*Yemei turns into a Pony: 0
*Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf forms: 10
*Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony: 34
*Yemei becomes Older: 2
Sweet Celestia everypony wants Yemei to be a Wolf Pony! Was it the picture that convinced you fillies and colts? Either way, just to make the decision a bit easier, I shall put my own opinions or reasons why I choose that as one of the options. And here they are:
~Yemei turns into a Pony~
Well, there is no reason other then that this was a bit overused in the many HiE that was met with Poison Joke. I'm assuming it was mostly used due to the curiosity of the human being a pony. Though, I think the author only used that since they already put too much thought in this and didn't want to change it. But that's the problem, it's too overused, which would be an obvious reason why it wasn't chosen... at all.
~Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf Forms~
Even though in the official movie "Wolf Children" that they didn't have trouble shifting, it mostly happened by there own emotions, whether it was sadness or anger. I decided this one, imagining that she turns human in the middle of town, or that it was a mixture of both a wolf and human(Maybe a Furry if you'd call it that). I mainly choose this one is cause maybe this could be the revealing of Yemei, but I'm still thinking on when that time might come. I'm glad this was second most voted, but I think most of you ponies choose this for the revealing of Yemei in Ponyville.
~Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony~
This was obviously voted the most. I was a bit surprised at this. I mean, I know that there isn't a lot of Wolf Ponies in-well, any fanfics. Though, I do like some fan arts and even one with Flutterbat Vs. Timberjack and another one I found.. Even though she technically is and isn't a wolf pony, I love the pictures. Either way, I thought of this one due to a picture I did as a request that was a Wolf Pony that was originally a Wolf that the requester wanted into a pony. And this idea came to me, with more ides around it.
~Yemei becomes Older~
This was honestly my original idea on the effects to the Poison Jokes. I seriously wanted to do this was due to maybe some ponies(including myself) a bit impatient or wondering on 'what if's on Yemei being older. But now that I think about it, I wasn't really planning out on the outcome of this one. I mean, most would be confused on her older form, maybe her new personality, and making Twilight even more interested on yemei's older body. I know that it would take awhile or maybe not. The time in Equestria may be faster or slower. Just like in the book, "My Little Dashie" it seemed that she aged faster then her 'daddy' in the book. And if I followed that logic, by the time Yemei is a teenager, Fluttershy might be as old as Granny Smith. So that's another thing I need to decide around. Of course I could make it normal and Yemei ages like a normal filly would, but it's not as interesting to me.
Anyways, I like whether or not you voted or not. I really appreciate it, and I hope I can still get your opinions and supports on this fanfic. This was honestly one of my most favorite that I created.
becomes older
Shifting trouble makes sense for poison joke
Becomes Wolf-pony.
Wolf-pony
Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf forms
I also think that Layra and Bonbon should find out by accident
hs trouble shifting between wolf and human forms
Wolf-pony
Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf forms.
Turning into a pony (even a wolf pony) has been WAAAY overdone. Not to mention being a wolf is the whole point of the story.
Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony
Wolf-pony
Wolf Pony
Has trouble shifting between human and wolf forms.
Fluttershy hiding something from her kind and benevolent rulers who previously asked her to help talk a dragon into moving his napping place and reform the most powerful and dangerous villain until Tirek powergamed the planet like that cheesy villain Baby in Dragonball: GT...
Because she believes they'd harm a human-wolf morph, with a teensy fraction of the power of any of the villains they've faced...
Oh Fluttershy, you may be kind, but you really need to have Twilight inject some common sense into that fluffy little head of yours!
Another case of Poor Communication Kills!
Let's see here, we have four choices here. Let's break this down;
1- Get older. Doing this would be a bit strange to those involved, but would not cause any major complications used to aid in character and plot development. This also does not actually sound like the same sort of joke that we see in the episode Bridle Gossip.
2- Trouble with form shifting. This one has some potential. Not only does it sound like something that Poison Joke would do, but would possibly force Fluttershy to reveal Yemei to others, possibly introduce new characters and new possible worst case scenario problems to allow our protagonists to shine, such as having to deal with hunters.
3- Turning into a wolf pony. This one is my favorite of the four. Basically Yemei is a werewolf to us humans, so this would make her a sort of werepony or lycan. This could change so many things about this story, for better or worse, we can't yet tell, however, this jarring change may allow huge complications and so much room for character development.
4- Turning into a pony. This change would bring little room for development and cause the resolution of this story to come sooner. Much sooner. There wouldn't be much to work with and force the end, unless you have something huge planned for this, that is.
One more thing I would like to point out; because she is a human werewolf, the cure to Poison Joke might not work, and I hope it doesn't work, actually. If it did there would be little point in including this part, besides minor development.
Hopefully, you choose what works out best for you, as a writer, so you can keep this story good and entertaining, while not becoming dissatisfied with it yourself
WOLF-PONY FTW!
Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony
Do a wolf pony!! Wolf ponies are the best! :D
[Plus, it would be original :P :)]
Wolf pony
I say trouble shifting forms, because, the the wolf-pony Idea is appealing ..... but that's it, SHE IS NOT A PONY, that she turn into a werewolf, okay, i'm good, but a wolf-pony, the story is about a human that can shift to a wolf form, not a pony who can shift to a wolf form, and if she become a wolf-pony, well, some boots, and that's it, you have a normal pony .... Moreover, if Yemei is a wolf pony, or just a pony, the story would REALLY lost it's appeal to me. Don't forget, the story is about a human, not a pony. The story is called "Wolf Child" not "Wolf Filly"
I'm stuck between these 2
~Yemei has trouble Shifting Human and Wolf forms
~Yemei turns into a Wolf Pony
WOLF PONY!
omg wolf pony by a landslide lol

Wolf pony, or just a regular pony sounds cool to me actually. Gives one ideas and how can be creative.
Has trouble shifting.
wolf pony
i vote for wolf pony because YEMEI GETS TURNED INTO A WOLF PONY, how would anyone pick something different :P
Assuming a wolf-pony means her two forms are pony/wolf instead of human/wolf, I'll go with that.
If its a hybrid (pony and wolf at the same time) then I'd go with straight pony.
I'll also see what I can do about getting you some original cover-art.
I would say trouble shifting but (this is an idea but i hope you don't follow it, it is for wolf pony) the main cast (expect fluttershy) will think of her as a monster and try to run her out thinking she killed Yemi but fluttershy saw the transformation and knows the truth but no ones listen and then mian cast call for princesses help while fluttershy runs away- i am stopping my idea because i feel as if i am telling you how to write the story. Sorry but i am keeping it there so you know my idea for wolfpony.(if wolfpony gets picked and surpise me with the story)
wolf pony!!!
Woooolf pooooooony!
Wolf Pony grrrrrr

trouble shifting
I just watched Wolf Children, which was a really good movie, and now that I have a better understanding of it, I feel like reading this story again.
I say she should become older, mainly because you want to do a strange aging time flux thing and something like that would make the aging-flux (I guess that works as a word) less complicated so that you don't add something random... Wait... thinking about what I just said... Never mind! Theoretical head canon science has been answered by book horse! But I believe that an aging-flux would complicate thing in a way that isn't necessary. Wolf Children is about a mother who has no experience raising children (let alone wolf children) going through the trial of learning how to take care of her extremely special children and becoming a better person because of it. They don't go vary far into the science of it because it does nothing for the story at its core and that's why I believe that adding the age-flux might be a bad idea...
Unless you can prove me wrong that is! If you do prove me wrong I will gladly take my defeat and give you your fair dues. I'll be waiting.
6265382 i agree with this. Part of the appeal of the story to me is that both of Yemei's forms are something that would be unusual or discontenting to the ponies around her who aren't familiar with her. As a human she is a creature never encountered before by Equestria, and at this point Ponyville is shocked at seeing a Zebra, and in her wolf form she appears to them to be a predatory beast who just happens to be under Flutterhy's care. Although at this point it;s clear which choice will win out.
