17. "Stable" Commentary

More like UNstable, am I right?
Aside from the obvious meaning (stable like where a horse lives), the story is playing out Sophie's anxieties about the stability of the relationship, and in a more literal sense, she is quite clumsy as a pony.
Original title: Sleepwalking/Sleepwalker, self-explanatory

So listen. When I said in an earlier commentary that I wasn't going to do a ponygirl story, that was obviously a lie. This was part of the plan all along, I just didn't want to spoil the reveal :)
Doing a ANOTHER dream chapter wasn't ideal. But realistically this was the only way it was going to work. So, once again, I set out to write a pornographic story and ended up with a weird, a high-concept psycho-drama. And, of course, the punchline is, since it is Sophie's dream, Mark doesn't get to enjoy it.
In Mark's dream chapter, the events were re-interpretations of real world events (i.e. prior stories). This chapter, by comparison, is more Freudian (Jungian?) - dream as representation of subconscious; specifically Sophie's fear of being rejected/abandoned by Mark (again).

---

"our prize filly, Saffron" - 'saffron' was the word Sophie played in scrabble all the way back in chapter 6 (told you it would take a while to pay off). Does this imply that Sophie has red hair? Who's to say.
"The woman looks like a farmer" - the farmer was originally a man. But at the last minute I was thinking "who is the farmer supposed to represent?" Like, who is this man that's trying to sell Sophie? If it's a woman then you can say that they're actually an aspect of Sophie herself. I dunno, I'm probably overthinking it. Functionally, it doesn't really matter (I literally just did find-and-replace her->him).

"'Sophie, did you say?' There's a man with her... Mark?" - Up to this point every chapter has been written from Mark's first person POV, so I had to make it clear as early as possible who's actually talking this time. The story is also written in present tense to give it a different 'feel' in general.
And to that point - for 16 chapters, we've only seen Sophie through Mark's eyes. This is our first time seeing inside Sophie's head, hearing her thoughts.

"Aye" - I gave the farmer a slight accent. I think it's supposed to be Scottish (or something vaguely rural)
"she's definitely the prettiest ... don't tell the other ponies I said that" - foreshadowing
"tight like a corset" - naturally
"You ever heard of 'gingering'?" - little history lesson/fake out
"But a pony isn't complete without her tail." - first time in the series that anything's gone into Sophie's butt (that's probably a weird things to point out.)
"I try to lean in for ki-- What? No! Cold steel in my mouth" - callback to chapter 10; the last time Mark lured her into a kiss and gagged her instead.
"I can do this." - I tried to make Sophie's voice distinct for Mark's. I'm not sure how successful I was. I think Sophie does come across as quite insecure (in this chapter, at least). Maybe that's why she has a desire to be dominant and in control? Then again, she is in the middle of an anxiety dream.
"the clamp bites into me" - nipple clamps! And with bells on. Foreshadowed in chapter 10.5; tho Sophie didn't want to be the one wearing them (or did she?).

"A group of three [ponygirls] gather at the fence... 'this should be good...'" - I thought to have other ponygirls in a field as just like background colour. But then it occurred to me to bring them into the action as a sort of greek chorus/hecklers/mean girls. It's a bit mean to pony-sophie, but it does add a little levity, which the story would have been missing otherwise.
Given what the farmer says earlier ("[Sophie is] definitely the prettiest of my lot") it's perhaps understandable that the other ponies have some hostility/jealousy towards her.
You could read them as Sophie's self-criticism, or perhaps an externalisation of Sophie's own sadism; their heckling contributes to Sophie failing and being rejected by Mark, just as her real world sadism lead to Mark leaving.
(To be clear, the other ponygirls were just meant as a joke.)

"I don't even need Mark to whip me (not that I want him to)" - of course not ;)
"I feel like I'm moving through water" - dreams do be like that sometimes
"Ginger's cheering you on." - hopefully it's clear that we're operating on cartoon logic: the ponies speak in english to each other, but the humans only hear them making horse sounds
"let's go fuck with the hucows!" - lots going on at Sophie's dream-farm.

"The stud." - remind me, what scrabble word did Rob play in chapter 15?
"He moun--" - 'mounts me'. The event is so jarring (recalling chapter 13) that it jolts her awake.
In the first draft, this was a whole (willing) sex scene, ending with her saying "too clumsy to be a show pony, this is all I'm good for". But I realised that didn't make sense. Sophie and Mark have shown no particular interest in having babies (or NOT having babies), and it doesn't really connect with the anxiety over being rejected by Mark - by this point, dream-mark has already left her. Nor would she want to replay chapter 13 in either a positive or negative way.

"Hypnic" - as in 'hypnic jerk', the sensation of jerking awake
"'Woah, there.' ... stroked her hair" - something Mark says and does in the dream (make of that what you will)
"you're okay, just a nightmare" - a night 'mare', if you will (I couldn't resist)
"I don't know how you Inception-ed me" - I don't think Mark ever literally tried to make Sophie dream about being a ponygirl. But his repeated suggestions (chapters 5, 10.5) clearly slipped something into her unconscious mind.
"I'm going to make you regret it!" - the original line was 'I'm going to get you back', which was meant to set up chapter 20 - when Sophie actively tries to inception Mark. But when I came to edit this chapter I completely forgot about that and changed the line to this. Hey-ho.

Quote from: Hugh_Lyon-Sack on November 03, 2026, 04:26:51 PMAnother volume complete.

Please don't leave us waiting over a year for the next one.  (please?)

Tome 5 is about 50% written, progress is being made.  I would *love* to be able to guarantee it won't be so long, but these things can be unpredictable.  Tome 1 took 9 month, tome 2 6, tome 3 took a little more than 3 months and tome 4... took over a year.  I'm hoping early winter for tome 5, but again, I can't promise :(

I'm glad you enjoyed it though :)

As it happens, I just started reading through Chapters 1-7 yesterday, and I like what I've seen yet :)

You put much effort into making this plausible and believable, the institute could be located in a village around me.

Your characters aren't overly deep yet, but as you choose Judith to be an observer for now, that was to be expected. (This is where your pen-name comes from?)

Anyway, I am looking forward to continue this story :)


BTW: I think you made River talk during the party ;)

QuoteAnd while some writers were definitely positive influences (Erika Moak and Tiggerstretch specifically for this story)

Hehe, you realize you just raised my expectations for this story again? ;)



QuoteAnd one of these things to avoid are characters devoid of interiority,

...and again? :P

You can throw dragons at me, trolls, speaking animals, aliens - or, to take your example - characters wearing latex 24/7, as long as the story in itself remains "believable"
So, if you want your character to wear latex 24/7, make the "latex" a parasitic alien (I am currently reading "Parasitic Love", sorry) or of some kind of exotic/advanced material (and the environment futuristic / otherworldly to match this).



well, chapter 25 is now out, I guess it's time to find out if the story is to your liking :)

An 17 year old homeless girl lived with her 70 year old boyfriend in an suburb with old and run down houses where few lived. An 17 year old homeless girl lived with her 70 year old boyfriend in an suburb with old and run down houses where few lived and one day had the man and the girl been getting an clear, shiny, very wide, very thick, curved, grey and spotted balloon at an party store that had an anniversary party. The girl and the man who could not sleep was from 2AM until 6AM non stop pressing the loudly squealing, clear, shiny, very wide, very thick, curved, doodoo stinky,doodoo covered, grey and spotted balloon against an very wide, stinky, old and very thick doodoo that laid in the grass with trash and needles in the empty and dark suburb with old and run down houses where few lived. The girl and the man was then from 6AM until 9AM non stop grabbing the loudly squealing, clear, shiny, very wide, very thick, curved, doodoo stinky,doodoo covered, grey and spotted balloon in an quiet, empty, mold, dust and asbestos smelly dark house where trash laid everywhere. One wewek later  was the girl and the man who could not sleep was from 5AM until 8AM non stop pressing the loudly squealing, clear, shiny, very wide, very thick, curved, doodoo stinky,doodoo covered, grey and spotted balloon against an bunch of very wide, stinky, old and very thick doodoos that laid in the grass with trash and needles in the empty suburb with old and run down houses where few lived.
