Well, not that the downvote brigade has passed, I'll say that as a vore scene, it was rather good!

As for a fic... This is a personal preference thing, but I'd have lengthened out the pace a bit more, started by showing some interactions between Coastal and the villagers, establishing some context to the whole thing, why she cares enough about her life not to disturb it by giving into the urges. Then, we can *properly* see how much her predatory desires affect her, and how powerful they truly are. Context makes vore truly hot, and since Coastal is an OC, you kind of have to establish the context in the fic, since the show-canon doesn't give a lot for you.

I mean that's fair, I was worried about pacing the whole way through, admittedly. Wasn't sure what was good and what wasn't.

Hmm, the context was definitely confusing here as the other guy noted. You need to really lay out a setting like this for readers, since it's not FiM's norm. The big problem is that in the very early parts, it seems as if Coastal doesn't eat ponies, and the cultists are just total crazies, but slowly we get hints about the griffonness and even Candy being preds, and it takes a while to really explain that Coastal was trying to break a vore addiction.
As well, it's really odd how the cultists basically don't react or talk much, like they're just NPCs except for Candy. Even the griffonness being unwilling seemed like token resistance at best.
Tying this together...I think too much of this takes place in Coastal's head, instead of in dialog. It makes it hard to figure out exactly what the deal is quickly.

I think overall, I think this would've improved it:

  • An early scene where Coastal talks to the griffoness about trying to quit vore, and the griffonness encourages Coastal not to.
  • Later on returning, Coastal sees thru it and accuses the griffonness of just being an addict who's selfishly trying to get the cultists eaten for her own entertainment, and even cultists giving themselves up to the griffonness out of desperation (this could even be shown, earlier). The ensuing argument could be used by Coastal to ditch them.
  • Candy would be the one to mention having eaten ponies, rather than Coastal thinking it, and it'd be pointed out by Candy as something the cultists (and especially griffonness) pressured her into.
  • Some establishment of the griffonness as the cult leader's second in command, and showing their relationship.
  • On eating the griffonness, real resistance, her trying to fight, making up excuses, and Coastal framing it as the cultists' revenge (complete with cult leader and perhaps the femcolt actually doing something, like the two teasing or even raping the griffonness' rear end).
  • Cult leader actually having something interesting to say before being gobbled.

Really minor thing as well...all the "would" verb tense, particularly when Coastal's eating, is awkward. Usually, past or present tense works best in stories. Saying a character "would" do something gives the impression this is all in their head.

Also, typos: "A sa rhythm", "cand claim her".

The input's appreciated and thank you for pointing out the mistakes! This'll be stuff I take into account probably when I do my next attempt (if at all). I'll admit... I didn't necessarily expect this to turn out all that great to begin with. In truth my attempt is quite... sloppy, though that's my own perspective speaking, largely.

Might end up going back at some point and reworking this though, who knows. Either way, thank you for the input, this is deeply appreciated.

When I first saw this pop up I was like, "why do I follow this account?"

Couple seconds later, "oh yeah that Horizon Festival fic!"

Any plans to continue that?

Not at the moment, but there is potential. If I do it's gonna be undergoing a full rewrite to add more depth, context, change in perspective, change in cars taste, etc. I do have another bigger project in the works too, but I have to go over that one in more depth and look it over, make any neccessary edits, and see what can be done to improve it.
