Hmm interesting. Might I ask what this setting is about? I noticed this story is part of a much larger set of stories, and I'm a bit curious as to what the synopsis of this series is.
6592773 Basically, the Trixieverse is an AU in which every single pony has a fetish of some type. They also have access to little devices called bits that, when clenched in your teeth, will invert your naughty bits. Have a nice roomy vagina? You will grow a monster cock.
Also, some fetishes are more severe than others. Rarity's, for instance, can be actively dangerous to her.
6592773 What Steel said. Also, the story will (most likely) make no sense whatsoever if you haven't read the previous ones. There has been a lot of character development.
6592773 I feel a good synopsis is "ponies fight through to their happy ending, which is sometimes very difficult to spot in advance". Who knew Rarity would end up with Derpy, abandoning her history as a kinky dominatrix and expert submissive to learn the ways of affection? Who would guess that Scootaloo would turn out transgender? Okay, everybody. But who'd have thought Apple Bloom would end up with Diamond Tiara as a mate and business partner, and running Sweet Apple Acres?
6592831 I think that's not how you spell 'Trixie' Rarity has always been more under control even at her worst. It's Trixie who's sometimes dangerous to herself as in 'Too Near The Sun'. Also, what you call fetishes can be temporary, as with Applejack in 'Derpy Desires' getting self-destructive with Gilda when her family turns negative on her.
At the moment, the up-downthumb ratio of this story is EXACTLY one to one, and I've no special reason to expect it to change even if this is legitimately the best follow-up to 'Adorable Monsters' it could be (which is of course my goal). The only advice I can really give is, read earlier Trixieverse books to see if you like the series. If you've read the previous seven books, the dynamics of it all will make better sense. Without that, not much I can say will help.
I said 700 followers would never happen, because the exact same thing happened with Too Near The Sun and Adorable Monsters: therefore I'll say now, once this book is finished, THIS one will wrap everything up with yet another valid place to finish (just as DF, TNTS and AM did), and this time, the only promise I'll make is that I'll keep it going (a book 9 after this one) should I reach 2000 followers.
And as I said: this is for those 706 or so people who read all the way through the million word saga and all the incalculable permutations of emotion, perversion and mystery, and came out the end still wanting more of the story. It's not for the 22,000 who glanced at a chapter or two and didn't get into it. If that means the true 'thumb ratio' of this entire book (which'll take months of my rather declining, old-horse life) is really one upthumb to thirty-one downthumb, so be it. At no point have I said you can't express your opinion even if it's not meant for you.
I'm going to keep faith with that one in thirty, that's all. That's my privilege to do, and I get to choose. And those people don't have to 'discover' it anywhere. They're already here, on Mondays, and sometimes even comment though they've said it all so many times before. They don't have to keep me going, but they're the reason this book exists and is underway.
Thank you! It's nice to see some of you checking in. I'm going to give my darling readers a ride they'll never forget. And, in the next chapter… Marble Pie shows up.
6593435 Everybody changes in a Trixieverse book. What you're seeing is the way the pool-balls are set up before the first shot of the game, and that's very clear: whether Vinyl Scratch likes it or not, Hina is a racist self centered Kirin who's sort of an 'indigo child' and has led a sheltered existence. She thinks she can do anything, and some of the ponies like Vinyl think everybody needs to bend over backwards to accomodate her.
The key point here is whether the BOOK also thinks Hina is a total mary sue who should get everything she wants (or, I suppose, an anti-Sue only there to get punished and humiliated). I assure you, the book does not think either of those things it is only depicting the starting condition in unmistakable terms, and we're already presenting Hina with challenges she's got to deal with.
Since I know this might be a leetle bit controversial bringing a tumblrina Kirin absolutely convinced of her own righteousness into Ponyville, I'll just say outright that Hina is neither as great as she thinks, nor a punching bag to make societal points. You'll know her not by her assumptions on entering the story, but by how she handles things when it goes wrong for her. I'm confident some people will never like her, but I can see the whole story outline, and I like her and what she brings to the story. She's neither the Big Bad villain, nor the big hero. She's got lessons to learn, and she's got some earth pony stallions to play with, and that ought to be fun
(I wait until these books are marked complete before reading, but I have to say, I'm invested in the bizarro world version of Equestria and the characters you have made.)
I must be one of the 706+ then - I keep my gold stars and my clopfics in separate lists. But make no mistake, I follow Trixieverse with zeal and a glimmer in my eye. Looking forward to the chapters to come.
Oh me, oh my, this is just a marvelous setup! I don't have a clue where it's going to end up going, but I'm good for another spin on Jinxie's wild ride.
... scratch that, MUCH of a clue. It's apparent that Hina doesn't react well to repression, so her collision with Pinkie Pie bodes ominous. But maybe she'll be the hero Ponyville needs in that regard.
Also, calling it now: she's not nearly as straight as she projects, and probably has some serious baggage nestled under the elephantine chip on her shoulder.
I always loved how you start a new book with plenty of references to past events before you really start up the new story. Kind of a "here's what all you forgot before you started reading this book". Really helpful for those of us with short memories.

Ah so when they use these bits they're able to play out their fetish whatever it maybe.

6593131 Hmm I must admit I'm a bit intrigued so I'll add the original to my read later section. Not sure when I'll get to it though.
yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
6593418 Ah, one of the 706
Thank you! It's nice to see some of you checking in. I'm going to give my darling readers a ride they'll never forget. And, in the next chapter… Marble Pie shows up.
so the setting here is a racist self centered kirin comes to town and everybody needs to bend over backwards to accommodate her.

I downloaded and read the htmls for all of them
(I wait until these books are marked complete before reading, but I have to say, I'm invested in the bizarro world version of Equestria and the characters you have made.)
Whew, looks like I have catching up to do. I think I must have missed a book somewhere...
Tracking and waiting for it to be complete for me to read in one day XD

Its baaaack!

Commence read.
Once more in the breach.
Twilight seemed pretty content with knowing the power rankings.
Again? Ok, just one more!
