Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Report Problem

“What about my flying? Is that ever going to get normal? I mean, I can kind of fly, but I can’t pick up speed for some reason.”

“Sure, that’s a pegasus problem. Your magic is less refined than the real deal, but you should be able to learn to copy it perfectly if you have a good example. If you absorb some energy from a pegasus who cares about you, it’ll give you a good enough idea of how to fake it.”  

“Wouldn’t that mean draining somepony?”

He shook his head. “Not really. Changelings feed in two ways: passive and active. You can survive on the passive mode easy enough if you don’t overextend yourself. You just pick up on love and other energy like that when it’s freely given. Feeding actively is an acquired skill, and it’s more akin to vampirism. It’s not even limited to changelings; ponies of all races have been reported to demonstrate that kind of ability. It’s rare for us to get it naturally, but it’s possible to learn. You might want to look into it, since that’s the magic that’ll come naturally now. Not that I’d recommend feeding on ponies, mind you: you shouldn’t eat something if you don’t know where it’s been.”
