The Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread

So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (May 31st, 2018) today, you know what that means...

It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!

Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):

• Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.

• Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.

• Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!

PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.

Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!

#mylittlepony - #Do the negative consequences of animal agriculture exist in Equestria?

Do the negative consequences of animal agriculture exist in Equestria?

I watched the documentary Cowspiracy last night and have recently watching videos discussing other aspects of the subject and that had me wondering.

We assume there's no meat industry in Equestria partly because the ponies are obviously herbivores, but also because those cattle are extremely sentient, and at least for some I'm sure factory farming is one of those ugly human things we like to imagine doesn't exist in Equestria.

But . . . We do see eggs and dairy consumption. And while we see Applejack's farm, we also see large industrialized cities like Manehattan, which usually imply industrial scale mass production behind them.

So, does large scale deforestation exist in Equestria? Or factory farms?

In our world, after chickens are artificially inseminated, male chicks and thrown into a grinder while the females are slaughtered when they stop laying eggs at 18-20 months (their natural life span is 5 years), while male dairy calves are sold as veal while the females are taken away immediately so the cows can be impregnated once a year (and milked bloody) until their bodies give out at five years old (a quarter of their natural life span) and their turned to meat. Cattle farming for both meat and dairy is also responsible for as little as 60 to 70% of Amazon deforestation on the low end up to 91 percent.

Now there are mutliple fair reasons to consider Equestria would be different. The fact that cattle are sapient means they can strike deals, so they could be agreeing to give away a percentage of the milk in exchange for the protection and care of a ranch, kinda like taxes. The chickens on Applejack's farm certainly aren't mass produced so it's not hard to imagine . . . actually, I don't think we've seen any roosters on AJ's farm.

It is possible they're just given to Fluttershy and ponies like her. Fluttershy does seem to exist in a world where you can just live in a cottage and care for animals, possibly as a government worker, and between Winter Wrap Up and the running of the leaves, Equestria does seem more focused on caring for nature.

As for deforestation, despite the existence of big cities and some modern technology, including hospitals, whether or not the ponies would be or are having a big population explosion is a discussion topic on its own.

We also don't actually know how the many bakery products we see our made. For all we know, Equestria could heavily mix in the use of plant-based milk varieties with cow's milk as a supplement so that animal farming doesn't have to strain to industrial scale production. Eggs can also be supplemented by plant-based substitutes.

I'm not sure harvesting milk and eggs is inherently inhumane, especially if the cattle can talk and make deals (the chickens, well actually Fluttershy can communicate with them. I wonder how chicken insemination goes on AJ's farm.). Though cities like Manehattan does make me wonder what kind of large scale factories and industrialization might be behind the scenes, not just in the food industry.

#horses - #Ideas for a simple memorial tattoo for my late heart horse?

Ideas for a simple memorial tattoo for my late heart horse?

I just put my horse down last month, and I had him since I was 12. He really saved me growing up, and he was my heart horse for sure.

I'm looking at some ideas for a tattoo in honor of him, but I'm stuck on ideas. I want to keep it simple and on the smaller side (I'm thinking maybe on my foot, or somewhere that I can conceal it well).

I don't like wordy tattoos, but I'm stuck on anything that symbolizes him well. He was a quarter horse, so I thought about his registration number, but that seems too impersonal somehow...like he was so much more than his papers. (Also, having a number like that tattooed on me seems to be in very poor taste). There is one I've seen online that looks exactly like him, but I know of a few people who have the exact same one so I'm hesitant.

Any ideas? Do any of you have memorial tattoos for a horse?

General Fanfiction Discussion Thread

Hi everyone!

This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. That will be posted in a few hours.

Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.

This is a weekly event coinciding (mostly) with NPT; off-topic and meta threads will be staggered so this week's off-topic thread is being submitted now and the meta thread was posted 12 hours ago. Next NPT will be the opposite! We do not ask that all off-topic discussion be kept to this submission; it is merely here as a courtesy and you are free to continue off-topic discussion in the comments of other submissions (off-topic submissions, however, are still a no-no). What household chore do you dislike the most?" Have fun!

#mylittlepony - #Did you actually expect Spike to grow wings?

Did you actually expect Spike to grow wings?

I know I didn't.

Of all the dragons that have been presented in the show, Spike was the only example that didn't have some kind of wings, even vestiges ones. I suppose the explaination now will just be that no other 'baby dragons' have appeared in the show, but it's still kind of odd.

I'm sure plenty of people saw the leaks and knew to expect this big change for Spike, but honestly for the longest time I just assumed Spike was a different species of dragon from the fire Drake's that are more common in Equestria. I thought he was some kind of ground dragon, and I didn't expect him to ever just sprout wings one day.

So how about you? Was this a surprising development or one that you were expecting?

How to fix a mane

I have a 4 year old gelding and an older mare, and in the winter we feed them hay with a round bale feeder. When they reach in to get the hay they rub their manes out and in the summer they have a long bald strip on their necks. How do I get the hair to grow out? It's almost never grown out completely by the time we have to start using the hay feeder again. Also, what are some ways to avoid the hair getting rubbed out? Neither of them will wear a neck cover of any kind

Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!

If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!

But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.

If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:

[It has ponies!](/spoiler)

Becomes: It has ponies!

And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!
