You kind of took an idea that is in stories from other sites and made it seem lighthearted and fresh. Somehow the idea of pinkie doing it makes it seem not so cruel.
Great story, but I got to ask, why not make a potion or spell to REGROW the limbs or organs that were removed, also there is the Mirror Pool that could be used too.
True, but if it was done the way I was suggesting then they could sell their legs again and still be able to get them back with either a spell or potion, and not to mention the mirror pool ponies could be altered so they don't blow up like they did in that one episide, that way the original could make many clones and sell them to be made into food.
Okay that's true, but I still say that the potions and spells to regrow limbs would be better then the robotic limbs, after all this way they would be able to sell their parts again, heck the mares could sell their tits and the guys their cock/balls and they would either have the spell to regrow the limbs or drink the potion that would do the same thing for their lost limbs or body parts.
8620053 While I understand what you're saying, and that would probably make a cool story as well, ultimately for this story I'm going for the idea of lost parts being permanently lost. They can have very lifelike replacements, sure, but it's not the same not really, and everyone knows it. They've been changed by their trip to Pinkie's shop in a fundamental way. And every meal is unique, to be savored once and once only. Regrowing the limbs would take that away I think. It was this or just have the butchered ponies not even get robot limbs and just go around completely reduced. But even I was like "OK that's a bit much."
Well if you did it that way it could be thought of as an Alternate version of the story, like how some author's on the site make two versions of a final chapter, like a Good End and Bad End chapter.
You've somehow managed to make gore lighthearted and palatable for me. Not to mention, you've made me wonder what I would give up. Well done!

Thanks, glad you liked it!
After giving this a skim, I'm still not sure if I want to read the whole thing.
I'll wait until a few more updates then probably decide.

Because robo-parts are more fun!

But if the mirror pool clones were used as food then we couldn't have ponies chatting while they're carved up.
