>> dinkyseviltwin Rewriting another author's story in your own words is still ripping it off. The plot, events, conflicts, and character development are all stolen. I understand wanting to write a story inspired by another. I myself am writing a story inspired by The Sweetie Chronicles. The difference is the plot, characters, conflict, and even genre are all different. Instead of one canon character, an OC from a previous story and his wife are traveling the multiverse, and instead of tracking crystals, they're hunting demons they accidentally released. Also, it's more of a light-hearted comedy. Do you see where I'm going with this? Just writing a story about Applebloom's sexual adventures after turning into a colt is fine, but make everything else your own. The potion idea is a good start. That could have been a great way to introduce the problem.

Look, if you want, I'll even help you come up with a story you can write with the same premise but more original. Heck, I'll even help you with prereading if you want. The only thing I ask is that you take this down. You didn't put any real creative work into it, and it isn't right for it to remain.

Well, I can't prove to you how many hours I spent working on this stuff, but I did put a lot of creative work into it. I'm sorry you don't think it was a worthwhile effort. There are plenty of ways the plot could change, such as Twilight spell, Everfree monster, anon magic, inbreeding magic, OC, hospitalization, etc. I just really wanted to have Discord do it, because Fluttershy told him to. I personally think people should be allowed to write a story about that, if they want.
