VOTING ROUND: Vote which fic I should do next! · 1:00am Apr 2nd, 2012
Yes, it's that time again! Time for another Voting Round, where you - yes, you - get to pick which fics I write next!
For those of you who weren't here when I held my first vote-off in February, here's how it works:
Step 1: Pick a story from the list below, the one you'd like to read most.
Step 2: Say "I wanna see *that fic*!" in the comments.
Simple! If you like, you can pick two fics if you want, however your second choice will only count as half-a-vote towards it. Only votes in the comments section of this post will count, votes posted in other fics/user pages/PMs will not. They all need to be in one place for me to count them, you see!
Without further ado, let's bring on the choices! Starting in alphabetical order:
Fabulosity in Fact
Partner: Rarity
You are: a middle-aged Unicorn, fashion guru
Contains: spa treatment, redemption, fabulosity
Rating: Mature
After your famous magazine articles nearly destroy somepony’s life, you leave Canterlot to hide your shame, effectively ending your fashion career. You decide to lie low in the nearby town of Ponyville, where very few people read Canterlot’s Columns… apart for one striking young clothing designer named Rarity. When she recognises you, she makes it her mission to bring you back into the limelight, showing you once and for all that, if applied correctly, fashion can be used to help and heal ponies, not harm them.
Goodbyes
Partner: Annabelle “Granny” Smith
You are: an elderly Pegasus with very little time left
Contains: sadness and lots of it, flashbacks
Rating: Everyone
You finally reach your destination; Ponyville, near Sweet Apple Acres. You’ve come here to fill out the final unchecked order on your “bucket list”. That requirement being to apologise to an old friend and ex-lover from many, many years ago. What has she been doing all of those years? Will she accept your apology? Do you even have enough time left to enjoy one last day with her? (NOTE: A “bucket list” is a list of things to do before you… well… kick the bucket. Yup, this fic’s gonna be a tearjerker.)
Love Life (or Pinkie Pie’s Heartbreak Repair Service)
Partner: Pinkie Pie
You are: a rich Unicorn with a broken heart
Contains: parties, Pinkie-physics, booze
Rating: Teen
When your fiancée, the love of your life, leaves you for a richer, more popular unicorn in Canterlot, you simply wither up and close yourself off from the outside world and the town of Ponyville. All of your friends blame and leave you after the break-up, if only so they can pursue a chance to bed her themselves. After a year of drowning your brain cells in hard whiskey, gin and tonic, scotch and various other fiery poisons, you decide that it’s not getting any better for you, and leave your home with the purpose of doing the unthinkable… before the intervention of a certain pink confectioner.
Love-locked and Breathless
Partner: The Great and Powerful Trixie
You are: a lower-Canterlot Unicorn with a knack for lock picking
Contains: underwater cell scene (escape-artist style), near-drowning, love-hate relationship
Rating: Mature
After botching a theft in upper-Canterlot, you’re forced into community service, being the Great and Powerful Trixie’s assistant for magic shows, hired for your special talent of undoing locks with your magic. You both frequent a stage show in a Manehattan theatre, doing simple yet entertaining magic acts and escape artistry. One day, she finishes preparations for a great final act for the show, involving a huge glass water-tank, some padlocks and chains…
Poisonous Passions
Partner: Zecora
You are: a Pegasus who can’t say “I love you”
Contains: rhyming, potions, poisons, aphrodisiacs
Rating: Mature
You’ve spent the past few months coming back to this strange, interesting zebra in the forest. Learning her home language, her customs, and how she survives in the Everfree forest. But you’ve always been too nervous to express your true feelings for her. One day, before visiting her again, you decide that it’s now or never, and set out to pick a bunch of rare flowers from around the Everfree forest to present to her. However, the forest itself is a dangerous place for somepony so unprepared… (NOTE: Despite the name change, this is essentially the same Zecora fic as last voting round)
To Be Young And Stupid
Partner: Apple Bloom
You are: A young colt whose Pa works at Ponyville train station
Contains: young affection, innocent cuteness, high risk of cooties
Rating: Everyone
The Cutie-Mark Crusaders have come up with a new strategy; find the latest pony in their class who has gained a cutie-mark, and chastise them until they reveal the secrets of Cutie-Mark gaining! Unfortunately, that young pony would happen to be you; a cutie-mark in engineering, of all things. You decide to use your special talent in helping them gain what they’re after, whether it’s designing “blueprints” for simple inventions to help the Apples on their farm, or trying to modify Scootaloo’s scooter with an actual motor. But when you develop a secret first-crush on Apple Bloom, things take a turn for the awkward…
What Happens in Pegasus
Partner: Rainbow Dash
You are: “Rookie”, from Spreading Your Wings and Hers
Contains: mild comedy, sexual escapades, the Wonderbolts
Rating: Mature
After a Wonderbolts-related dispute with Rainbow Dash, you feel it’s time to spice up your relationship with her in order to save it. So you splash out on your savings in order to buy a weekend reservation in a famous Las Pegasus hotel, hoping that your brief weekend stay there will be just the adventure you both need. Needless to say, it gets a little more difficult when the Wonderbolts themselves show up in the exact same resort… (NOTE: this story shows the argument “Rookie” and Dash had during Her Whole Darn Heart.)
And there they all are; seven fics to choose from, you're spoiled for choice! Also, I'd just like to point out, even if there are zero votes for them so far, I urge you to vote for the fics YOU want to see, not just the ones that look more "popular" to other voters. That way the voting is not lop-sided due to everyone piling on one or two fics, thinking the other choices are a lost cause or something; don't let the "popular" votes get in the way of what YOU want, and then it shall have a fair chance!
Thanks for reading, thanks for being fans, and thanks for voting! Winners will be revealed in under a week, or perhaps when the voting dries up and I feel everyone who wants to vote has done. Crowley out.
