I succumbed. I have written a fan-fiction story.
The reader may encounter a number of unfamiliar words, phrases, idioms, and spellings. Some relate to farming or animal anatomy (real or mythical); “button” is a term for the bud of a horn or antler, and “alicorn” is the historical word for a unicorn’s horn, for example. Many are archaisms and regionalisms that seem to be disappearing from the American lexicon as the last generations to grow up with them—including mine—age and pass, leaching from the language a certain richness and character.

Um
...
I kind of feel as though I just watched an episode of Little House on the Prairie. But with less plot.
That's not to say it was _bad_ (on the contrary, you had me enthralled).
But, well - nothing seems to _happen_.
I dunno. Perhaps I'm just too used to Hollywood-esque, fast paced style stories to properly appreciate this.
I also wonder if the foal will turn out to be a mule or a breeding stallion, in his own time.
I’m sure the foal will be able to continue Dale’s line when the time comes.
And yea. this isn't the only 'Changeling join Pony Society and learn to love for real' but it is one of the best ones. There is lots of feeling and emotion in this story, and it doesn't feel forced that the Changeling does come to really love our Stallion.
This works so well. I like it a lot.
Great work!
I never thought I would feel sympathy for one of the Changelings, but color me surprised. Apparently even a Changeling can learn how to give love as well as drain it. And if one can do that, then who is to say that in time the whole race may change? Because one Changeling found the courage to take that first step...
