SPark


Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

A young thestral stallion, an older zebra mare, and a night of hedonistic enjoyment among the sleeping dead. But when one of those long departed proves to be very much awake, things get more exciting than either had expected.

Why isn't there a sex tag?

8943541 Because I can't fucking win. I put a tag on when it's not "really" in the story, (it's a makeout session, is that "sex"?) I get "Why is there a sex tag?" I leave it off, I get "Why isn't there a sex tag?"

With the adventure/slice of life combo being the first thing I saw, I wasn't sure what to make of this, but it was pretty cute. Death being treated as casual and natural as this is also refreshing. Nice work with nice wholesome death chats!

8943552 I'd really just go with site guidelines if you're really unsure. They clear things up well.

Far as I can tell, by the site guidelines this doesn't require a sex tag. It doesn't discuss sex in any way, and sex does not happen, on or off screen. Makeouts do, but makeouts are not sex. The word "moan" is not "sex". I guess somebody who really wanted to see it as sex could, but the story, in its words, in text and not subtext, says "makeout session." Not sex. I do not feel responsible for other people's dirty minds. If I had to put a sex tag on every story where you could see something sexual if you wanted to, I'd have to put them on basically every single story, and so would everybody else.

But before long, moans and cries began to echo among the headstones and monuments, almost as if the place was still haunted.

:trollestia: Heh.

And lo, did the tale spread of a pair of ghost lovers, a zebra and a batpony.

The colt to spread the tale had a rather large blush.

So then it doesn't need the tag. People will just be people.

FTL

Nice little combination story with an interesting mix of standard story ingredients blended in your own way.

You never fail to both entertain and provoke thought SPark.

Agreed, no tag required. Individuals will read into things whatever they wish but a straightforward reading says no extra tag necessary.

Interesting story, I like it

Typos:

It was soft yet lightly in the center, - Not sure if something's missing between "lightly" and "in" or if this is a legit use of the word lightly.

to ask the question would be to break the contemplative silence that now enveloped them both as they at together.
- *ate

She used the power that rushed over her hid in the simplest way possible, - *hide

You can't suffer if you don't exist. Is it really worth clinging to life if it hurts all the time?"

Is it wrong that I looked at this sentence out of context and thought it sounded suicidal?

Also, I suspect that this spirit had something to do with why there were no other ghosts in this cemetery. Either this spirit scared off all the others or was strong enough to drain them.
