>>4754 >I really don’t like the inclusion of non-pony characters in the show or fandom as a whole. I miss season 1-2 when all we had was cute little poners, not even a changling in sight. >Early season 2. I’ve been autisticly obsessed ever since. How about you Anon? Well, I lean towards ponies over other races too. I still like other races though and I think pre conversion changelings are fun to mess with. My biggest problem with the setting isn't the presence of other races as much as the breakdown of distance between places. It always was unclear but now everything feels like a day trip away and I certainly feel nostalgic for the more localized adventure. Some of it was bound to happen with time, like unexplored areas getting explored, but if there is a dynamic I miss there.
Some of the season 1 era fics have an especially interesting feel. We knew so little of the world then and it just feels so interesting to read them and see what little lines we run with and what small implications we had. There is a majestic /comfy/ feel though the worlds almost feel lonely without the some of the additional elements that we've grown used to.

Though the period I usually think of in regards to fics is usually more around season 2 to season 4 do to most of the fics I read being written or at least started in that time. Still read a moderate amount but it's been much more sporadic so I can't comment on the state of things now.
>I haven’t thought about including any non/ponies into this story. In fact while The Fall of Equestria revolves around the Caribou/Reindeer I was personally thinking of cutting them out of the story altogether, instead subsisting them with a group of radical stallions. You know, though it may detach it from fall from equstria , it could unshackle it from stigma of the Caribou if it carries something of a mark of a black alicorn OC. Though I truly can't say if it be a better or worse choice because I haven't read any fall from Equestria fics.
>>4765 >But seriously, I’ve read fan fictions that are five times as long. 100,000-200,000 is average for what I read. I've dived into about 100,000 to 300,000 but I don't think I've ever completed the million word plus club, only peaked.
