*Note to my usual readers: this is babyfur. Don't like it, don't read it.*
This story was heavily inspired by this picture; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8918391/
The first piece of babyfur I've written, and I hate it! Somehow, this monster is 8,000 words long and the actual babying doesn't happen until the end! Oh well. This was something I started at a library after my computer was mugged, and finished recently when I got a new one. As the title suggests, this is only chapter one. There'll be more... eventually. Darn my writing spurts! Go ahead and tell me how much I suck.

Ol'Squeaks is a fan of tryin out new things, an this one he was unsure about, but he ultimately really liked how this was emotional and looked at things from a different perspective :)
Ye captured the characters well, an yer approach to the subject was pretty unique.
Here's hopin it goes through!

Awww! This story managed to bring a number of tears to my eyes. I've read a number of babyfur-pony stories in my day, but this is my favorite yet. I couldn't hold back my smile as Mrs. Cake and Pinkie had that beautiful moment on page 22. You really have a knack for writing these, dude. I hope you keep up this excellent work ^^
I suppose you've seen my presence on other padded pony stories. More specifically, me bitching about them?
Well, I'm not here for that.
Congratulations on making a solid, well thought-out approach to an adult foal story. You handled the subject matter with a level of care that has, so far, been absent from just about every other story I've had the (mis)fortune to read. There was a clear set of steps leading into Pinkie's "foaling", as it were, that lent an air of believability to the proceedings. It wasn't some "And then I liked diapers" schlock that so often infests the fetish, nor did it go too far with the subject matter like so many others that feel as if, if something is wearing a diaper, it has to make full use of it within a page.
That said, it wasn't perfect. Some sentences were awkward and I noticed several minor mistakes (for example, barrow instead of borrow). A quick edit from a semi-talented third party would reveal most of them.
As my closing comment, allow me to express my interest and humbly request more, good sir, may I please have some more.

I have seen your work, and deeply appreciate your opinion. And, yes, I have seen your complaints, and agree with them. They lack actual, you know, story most of the time. As such, I'm honored that such a refined reader as yourself has compliments for me. I know exactly how you feel, I really do. There's a certain tenderness and care that could easily be explored, but is so often overlooked. Why is this?
And, damn it, do you know an editor? hey seem so very rare to me. I swear, I re-read this thing twenty times and I still can't find the mistakes. I get the feeling it's an aspergers thing, but who knows?
You'll have more when more is ready, ya greedy goose.

If I do have any complaints, it's the rather hammy and constant use of "My Little Pinkie" (especially the all-caps) at the end. It leadens the story's flow and made it more awkward to read.
People ignore it because they're writing with one hand and, ahem, "polishing" with the other. They don't want a realistic progression of events, just something to get off to.
I would recommend Ponychan's /fic/, if you can stomach their gung-ho approach. Be forewarned: Not reading and becoming familiar with their sticky can be a death sentence. If it's TL:DR, then just make sure you submit to a review thread and not make your own thread just for requesting a review since they'll tear you apart for that (admittedly, it's a morbidly entertaining spectacle worthy of popcorn). The subject material isn't too over-the-top, so I don't think your story's reception will be particularly sour. Applejinx's thread is great for getting critique on how close to canon your characters are while the Training Grounds would be your best bet for editing assistance.
Some things you'll need:
A synopsis for your story.
Your story on a Google Document with anonymous commenting enabled (this will let your reviewer mark mistakes on the story directly, making edits far easier).
A steel ego for the bruising it's about to take.
Ah, you have aspies too?
I'll take more when it's ready.

Hmm, I guess I see what you mean. I was just following the rules of proper nouns (as close as they can apply, since language isn't made with story telling in mind) when I was doing that.
I've tried the /fic/ section, but I always get ignored there, even with my non-fetish material. I don't know what it is, man, I try to follow the rules. If you're interested, I also have a fanfic called "Celestia's Daughter". The twist is it's Applejack.
Aspies: its what all the cool writers have. Seriously, why are all the good writers blessed/cursed with this? It's the darndest thing.
It's brewing, you'll get yours yet.

Point taken. Still, Just using "Pinkie" would have sufficed. Save the "My Little" when you want emphasis.
What other stories have you posted there? If you don't make a good synopsis you story may be passed over for not appearing interesting enough. You also have to make sure to investigate your reviewer: there have been several that make a thread and then never deliver on their review promises.
Dunno. Just one of those quirks of life.
I look forward to it.

I'll remember that for future use, and edit this when I can.
Hmm, a story called "The Shadows the Past Leaves" which totally flopped, and the "Celestia's Daughter" story I believe I mentioned. I tried to give the best synopses I could, and even specified that I was trying something new by having Applejack be Celestia's Daughter, but nobody bought it. So I gave up, dejected.

/fic/ underwent a huge shift in the way it works. EqD now redirects rejected authors to the board since the place is run by reviewers and the like. It's pretty much the biggest writing resource in the fandom.
The themes aren't too overt. Make sure to let your reviewer know what they're getting into to avoid backlash, but otherwise I think you'll be fine as long as you follow the rules. Remember: making a thread only to request a review is a death sentence. Read the sticky, find a review thread that catches your attention and make sure to read its rules as well (some, for example, demand you provide a word count). And again, hosting it on Google Docs with commenting enabled is a must; it'll make both your work and your reviewer's far easier in regards to edits. If you can't figure out how to use it, ask in the sticky for help.

On The "Aspies" part: I know what that's like. Personally, I've read too many fan fics to write a story as good as yours, but then again, my specialty is artwork, so...
I agree with TheBackup. This was beautiful, well-written, not to mention well-paced. It's perfect for readers of this genre, as it is taken with great care and respect for this lifestyle. After all, for many people, this way of living is just that: A way of Life. It is bizarre, no denying that, but you wrote this debunking the classic "monsters" that this kind of fandom usually gets; namely, the whole "all Adult Babies are freaks" thing. You took this lifestyle, and showed that "monster" was false. That people do this because it makes them feel comfortable, that they enjoy it because of the fun and freedom that Infanthood has.
You also had the Cakes, or rather Mrs. Cake, be confused about this lifestyle from the start, and progressively built up a sort of understanding as you went along, to the point that she starts getting the idea, to the point where she realistically wants to become a part of it as a motherly figure.
What's even more impressive is that you took characters who've already had their personalities established on a global basis, and wrapped this concept around it with logic and reasoning, not changing them in the slightest, but instead making them fit into their personalities in a way that works for them. I'm impressed.

Ah ha! Now your in for it! I just contacted chuck Norris' email account iAmchucknorris@badliars.com! I just sent him a thousand dollars, and he's on his way right now >:)!!!...though come to think of it, he said he'd reply ASAP. when he got the money, and that was weeks ago...wait a minute...I shouldn't be lower cased on an email!!!
Aww. So sweet!
Grammar's good and the story makes sense.
I especially like the ending. Though for some reason, Keep Alive from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon was playing in my head at the later part. And Driving With the Top Down from Iron Man was playing at the part where Pumpkin was flying. I attribute this to the fact that I am not neurotypical.

Thank you very much. I wanted to explore the often overlooked tender side of the adult baby/foal. Though there are gramatical mistakes, as thebackup pointed out.
I like the ending, too. That makes me tear up a little bit each time I read it. Am I a narcissist because of that?
Seriously, is every writer I like on the autism spectrum? I only know one, and it's not me. But I know that feeling you're getting with the music. It just happens, eh?

It's just that the music is so wildly inappropriate for the situation. I mean, really? Choral/industrial and industrial rock in an adult foal story?
Also, you may want to settle on a spelling of the title. Right now you have both Pinkie Dinky Pie and Pinkie Dinkie Pie.

Wow, I really enjoyed this, very good Conflicted, very good, I look forward to more! But honestly I don't know why someone would want to "Get off" to this as thebackup would say, I only found it sweet and charming, and a good read from start to finish!
Oh, and the want to be pinkie in that story
Oh, and the want to be pinkie in that story
Thank you very much, scary ghost face. I'm glad you enjoyed it. But thebackup was referring to how some babyfur stories go straight to something sexually arousing for some instead of trying to build a story, and he wasn't talking about my story specifically. He was complimenting me, saying my story is well thought out.
I am really happy you found it sweet. I wanted to explore the tender side of the ab/dl style, something I think is often overlooked.
And who wouldn't want to be Pinkie the adult foal? I found myself quite jelly of her myself.

Yep, I've seen those, and they're adorable! Hmm, how about one with pinkie playing blocks or something with the Cake twins? Or maybe one of Mrs. Cake reading her a bed time story. Or (for chapter 3 of my story) a picture of Dash and Pinkie playing together. Just some random thoughts, eh?
...
Wow.
This is, in my humble opinion, the most impressive padded pony story I've had the pleasure of reading in my short time in the community. It's wonderfully paced, very well written, almost always (if not always) in character and clearly not written purely for the fetish content. Quite frankly, it puts anything else that I've read or written to shame.
Be proud of this. Be VERY proud.

That certainly means a lot coming from you. You and thebackup are my favorite padded pony writers, and such praise feels wonderful.
I take ALL my writing seriously, fetish or not. A story is a story is a story, I like to say, and a fetish should be can be a means, and maybe a point, but should never be the goal. I have written some other things as well, though real life gets in the way and I haven't written more for it. I am, indeed, proud of my work, because I get to bring other people joy or pleasure.
But don't sell yourself for half price. Like I said, you're one of my favorite padded pony riders. If you hold this in such esteem, imagine how good you must be for it's author to like your work.

Thank you very much! It wasn't all that hard, actually. One just has to put themselves in the right horseshoes, as it were. I mainly did it to put a new spin on how Adult Foal stories usually go. After all, the caretaker should be enjoying the sensations and feelings as much as the foal.
My friend, whatever it is you may be conflicted about, I can safely presume it isn't over your talent for storytelling. This a lovely little journey which I am thankful to have gotten lost in for a while.
It was clear from the outset that you meant for the story to unfold gradually and rationally, upon firm footing toward an emotional payoff. Well, it turned out to be worth all the wait.
The cakes' rationale was believable and well conceived, which made the unfolding crescendo of cuteness equally believable in turn. Your admirable sense of reader expectation, which you managed to tease out by slowly filling in the picture with all the adorable things to come, held my attention and built suspense at a perfect pace. It was all a very clever and cute framing device made so much more so for being quite credible within the context of the canon characters we've come to know and love:
Mrs. Cake really could be that maternal, and Pinkie really might be that regressive if somepony like Mrs. Cake only realized it, and you allowed them both to realize it in a completely natural way.
At times, the characters were so in character that I actually became disappointed when I remembered that I wasn't reliving a real episode. And did I mention it was super super cute and precious? Cuteness for its own sake is lovely, of course, but cuteness you can really believe in is just, wow.
I'll admit that I may not have been so taken with it had I not had some acquaintance with some of the more typical products of fetish fanfiction, but, fetish or not, you've charted a course for both Pinkie and her caregivers' emotional development which I can't wait to follow.

Well, thank you very much, you fabulous pony. If you must know what I'm conflicted about, it's when to add something to a given story/plot.
The hilarious thing is, for me, I never plan anything I write. Sure, I come up with goals a checkpoints, but the guff in between is spur of the moment. In essence, I try to figure out what steps lead to the emotional payoff, and be sure to steer away from anything that leads away. Sometimes it takes 2000 words, sometimes 8000 words. It depends on what that story wants, or what the goal needs.
I've been writing fanfiction for five years, and out-of-character has always been my biggest worry. After years paying attention to this specific aspect, I consider myself extremely good at not doing it. The secret is reaching a zen state where you realize it doesn't exist. Any character can do anything, you just have to transition at the right pace to reach it.
As such, I take it as an extreme compliment for you to notice that, at least, I did plan on making it a rationally paced story. And for you to say that they were so in character that it seemed like it could be a reliving of an episode is a great honor for me. Thank you very much.

It was too adorable! It totally made me cry and all... it's so bad such sweet things never happen in real life... I'm so jelly of Pinkie :')
While I don't think I've ever seen anything else from you, I now know you're a really amazing writer, you could touch my soul so much - I know it must sound creepy or something... just keep writing, and continue this story as soon as you can, please :)

Well, sometimes they do, I hear. They're just really rare. A tip? Your AB parent can sometimes turn out to be your best friend of your girlfriend, if you just ask. I wouldn't know, that's just what I heard.
Nope, this is my first (but hopefully not last) babyfur story. If you are interested, I also wrote a non-fetish story called "Celestia's Daughter". The twist is that it's Applejack. :P No, it doesn't sound creepy. It's what any artist strives to accomplish, to leave an impact in their audience. I'm in a bit of a funk now, but I'll keep working on this, don't you worry. ;)

I just read this story again... and I cried all over the place again... but this time because this is the thing that made me happy, that helped get through this past year... thank you.
(p.s.: where can one find the Celestia's daughter story you mentioned in this comment?)

Havent read fanfics in a while cause i just got tired on how uncreative the stories are, even the high rated ones. when i came by you story i was curious enough to make an exception and was amazed. I love how story driven it is and focused more on character relations than the fetish. I wouldnt even call it a fetish fic either, its such a good story on its own. I wish the show had an episode building relationships between the cakes and pinkie pie. Anyways keep up the good work and i'll look forward to reading more chapters.
I'm glad you gave me a chance and were not disappointed. I try to write actual stories with my work, no matter the content. There is an opportunity for tender, loving feelings that are so often missed. And I also wish for more relationship building with the Cakes and Pinkie. I'd love to know how she wound up working for them. Thank you very much, and I shall try.
I can't say I have anything to offer that hasn't already been said, but I just had to come out of the woodwork to tell you how much I loved this! Really, by the time I was finished manly tears were shed, and I felt a little bit better about my AB side.. It's so nice to see someone handle the emotional side of it all in their work, and handle it well. You really left me hoping that it was all real.
You also got my favorite characters from the show down perfectly. How could I NOT like?! Bravo, sir, bravo.
Thank you very much! I wish I could say more than that. But I am happy to see that I stirred emotions and tears, which were parts of my goal. Don't feel guilt about being an AB, it's just you being innocent and truthful.
That means a lot, as I am told keeping characters in character while taking them to steange places is a strong suit of mine.
If you liked my story, please read "Raising Raindrops", simply search for it. It is inspired by my story, takes place in the same canon, and is written just as well. Go fave and review it, please!

Oh my this is such a wonderfully cute story, I loved every word of it! I do have a quick question about the rest of the chapters, though. Will there be any "clop-worthy" bits anywhere or are you strictly trying to avoid that type of stuff? I understand if you don't want to give out spoilers or anything and I respect that, but I just had to take a chance and ask.
Looking forward to reading more regardless!
