HuhWhat's the original of OP
>>41863708https://derpibooru.org/images/1007995, edited specifically for this thread.
>>41863686I do whatever I feel like at the time.
>>41863686I come up with a story and then I work backwards to justify why that thing is the way it is
>>41863714You know it is kind of weird how the two characters whose soul characterization is being married to each other (with one's alicorn sphere of influence being 'family') ending up with one kid.
>>41863684>101We are losing the ancient texts (but your baking is appreciated).>>41863686I keep it all in my head.
>>41863759>flurry heart was nine years ago. Kill me
>>41863790That's nine years of other baby alicorns Equestria is missing out on
>>41863797Any fics with mares pumping out kids?
What's a group of alicorns even called? A pantheon?
>>41863853No.
>>41863863A mistake.
>>41863853I was about to think of one butActually noPregnancyfags are cowards who always end things early.
>>41863853https://www.fimfiction.net/story/330508/rule-of-three
>>41863869Your hiding them from me aren’t you
>>41863863A sorority.
>>41863886>>41863884SeeToldya
>>41863896You got me. Here's every story I've written that has birth:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/521748/spring-bringing-with-pinkie-piehttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/525912/almost-alone-on-the-moonThese are very short:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/2/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/a-terrible-day-to-have-eyeshttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/3/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/love-ambushed-byhttps://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/6/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/and-some-pain-tooThis one's really fucked up, relatively speaking:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/545041/from-love-to-changelingsI haven't written the birthing scene yet, but it'll be there:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/567441/chaotic-conceptionI hope you enjoy some of them, at least.>>41863884I should write less cowardly, yeah.
>>41863863An orgy.
>>41863884Not even pregnancyfags, like Georg (though I'm not sure on that he really does) always ends stuff early.I fucking began my longest fic entirely because I wanted to see some fucking character growth via family.
>>41863944Whose the lucky mare?
>>41863971Twilight, duh.The 1000th alicorn born has dangerous cosmic significance. Flurry was 999, then Twilight does something stupid.
>>41863939Thank you for being honest ^:)
I guess it's just the natural state of horsewords writers to do something interesting then never follow up on it.
>>41863980Now that I think about it, the pseudo-sexual nature of birth may have something to do with ending stuff early. It's not easy to go into great detail without upping the rating. Of the seven stories I listed, only three (soon to be four) go into extreme detail, and all are M-rated except for one E-rated. The others mention it in various ways but don't really focus on the process itself.Anyway, ponies coming out of ponies is nice. This comes to mind: >>>/an/4930065
>>41863979Why is it always Twilight getting accidentally pregnant? Why not Pinkie?
>>41864025
>>41864025She's the main character. And she's Purple Smart. Not Purple Common Sense.

Otherwise, it's on the fly as I write the story and decide something sounds like a cool concept that needs to be fleshed out.
Fics about the hunter becoming the hunted?
>>41864252Uh...Prey and Lamb?
>>41864248>the runaway bodyguard I feel like I’ve seen nearly everything on fimfic already, I remember stumbling across that over a year ago. That thumbnail art for the story stands out in my mind.
