So I see these lyrics at the end that form a beautiful song (oh, as a hint. I'm high like mad right now)
And I go: HEY! That could work as a song! Sure enough, 42 minutes later I have a demo recorded of an acoustic version with only three chords and a harmonica solo.
Only to scroll down after all that and see that's it's already been done. Ouch, but oh well. I can still finish it someday and see what I do with it.
Once again an awesome chapter. However, it's not exactly the 18th yet is it? Oh who cares, awesome story is awesome and I can't wait for more
Yeah, all the songs in this story are pre-existing--there's one more coming up in the Epilogue. Oh, and the three chord intro I had in mind is A, Bm7, C#m7, then back down to Bm7 for the pickup into the first verse. The video I linked to starts right off with the singer. Oh, well...
Hrrm, I can't remember if this was ever cleared up.
Does Fluttershy have purely male genitals, or is she mix-and-match? Given the no-clothes nature of pony society, and all those spa visits with Rarity, it would be hard hiding the fact she didn't look like a mare from the back. Even with the assistance of her enormous tail to hide things.
Of course, she HAS hidden a sheath all this time, so maybe I'm just not giving Fluttershy enough credit.
Is that male ponies and female ponies look the same from the back. Compare Big Macintosh and Applejack in this screen shot from "Applebuck Season." Mac's bigger than AJ, but other than that, I don't see any difference. In my imagining of it, then, there's a little anus tucked up underneath the tail but otherwise, every pony, stallion or mare, under visual inspection, is completely smooth and indistinguishable between the hind legs.
That's the lacinia. It covers a pony's genitalia completely, only revealing said genitalia when it opens. When a colt is born, his lacinia is open since his penis has to be out for urination. When a filly is born, her lacinia is closed since I posit that the female Pony urethra exits at a nearly-invisible wrinkle at the lower end of the lacinia an inch or two from the anus. So a filly's lacinia doesn't open until she has her first menses. Applejack kind of explains this stuff way back in the first chapter of "Biology," but unfortunately, she's so uncomfortable with the whole subject at that point in the story, I couldn't really have her come out and talk about it plainly.
As for what exactly Fluttershy has up inside her lacinia, I've tried to hint at it here and there, but yeah: purely male genitalia.
I don't think I've actually used the word "unzipped" in describing a lacinia opening yet. And it's a really good word for it, too, not just because I've already established that lacinias make a little crinkling sound when opening or closing, but also because the word has a resonance external to the story for anyone who's read Erica Jong's 1973 erotic novel Fear of Flying. Gonna hafta think about that...
Folks are enjoying this whole "Biology/History" thing. 'Cause it's entirely unlike anything I've ever tried to write before, and it's just been a hoot-and-a-half for me putting it together.
Might not be till the fall since I've got four other items on the list right now--two Pony stories of unknown length, one non-Pony short story for submission to the next Sword and Sorceress, and the revisions on the newly deponyfied version of Half the Day is Night that I'm putting together. There's a bit more with the hat in chapter nine, "Sandstone," due 'round these parts Thursday, though, but that's pretty much the last sex scene I'll be writing for a couple months, now that I think on it...
A couple days early:
But I think this is done. Look for "9 - Sedimentary: Sandstone" on or around March 28th.
Mike
Toppy Fluttershy, yay! And wearing the hat, too. Perfect.

The basic idea here:
Is that male ponies and female ponies look the same from the back. Compare Big Macintosh and Applejack in this screen shot from "Applebuck Season." Mac's bigger than AJ, but other than that, I don't see any difference.

2285538. Good point. Read on. I would have pasted the mother
2284552
So they ... open up like they've been unzipped when aroused?
Okay, wow, that's a hilarious mental image. And it does explain why Fluttershy can pass so well - everything's tucked inside, after all.
D'awwwwww. That is all.
(Except for: whoa Flutters, that's some quality seduction right there.)

Y'know:
I don't think I've actually used the word "unzipped" in describing a lacinia opening yet.

Fluttershy:
Has hidden depths. Which, yes, know, is another double entendre, but still...
Mike
That...was perfect

Looking forward to the third story, where Applejack's pregnant and everyone knows Fluttershy's the ... father? Hilarity ensues!
(possibly featuring Fluttershy wearing the hat and riding Applejack like a broodmare, "Yay!"-ing after every stroke. Ahem)

Third story:
Might not be till the fall since I've got four other items on the list right now--two Pony stories of unknown length, one non-Pony short story for submission to the next Sword and Sorceress, and the revisions on the newly deponyfied version of Half the Day is Night that I'm putting together.

If all goes well:
Chapter Nine, "Sandstone," will be up here within 24 hours. If things don't go well, within 48 hours.
Mike
SQUEE!!!! Yay somthing to read when I wake up or while im at werk.
Mane Medic
I don't remember AJ ever calling Fluttershy her fiancé...
2409690
Hmmmm:
Y'know? You're right. In my notes, Applejack talks about the wedding and calls Fluttershy her fiancée a couple times in the first four chapters before Fluttershy quietly mentions in chapter five that AJ hasn't actually proposed to her yet. This scene, then, was gonna be the pay-off to all that, but in the actual writing process, I decided to delete that whole thread without apparently changing my notes on this chapter--as it stands now, AJ mentions the wedding in chapter one when they're talking to Pinkie, but that's it.
Thanks for pointing that out: looks like I'll need to go back in and do a little rewriting...
Mike
Oh my gosh, I couldn't keep myself from bawling when reading this chapter. I honestly couldn't.
Only two more chapters to go. Look forward to it.
