A wonderful continuation, though I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get a new name for Applejack.

I'm curious if ponies are all turned into brood mares, only only a select few, and the rest are podded as 'cattle'?

it was interesting but I feel that it's unfinished with AJ as it feels like it stopped when things were really getting good.

Oh we will get a new name for Applejack, it was just not revealed in this story.

And everyone will not be broodmares, in fact there are several positions in the hive that can be filled, some which we will see coming up.

Do you mean that the transformation stopped short or the story stopped short? Because the storyline will be continued in the next entry.

I felt AJ needed a look over herself to see all the things that has change about her including her mind like and how she define herself like rarity did.

There was still a bit of that, and hers was also a bit different than Rarity's. But that is something I would have developed more, were it possible.
