Probably not my best idea, but ahh well · 8:57am Dec 3rd, 2013
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, mares and stallions, so on so forth. I just wanted to let you wonderful people know that I'm going to be trying something a bit different soon. Rather than just work on one story (pause for dramatic effect)....I'm gonna be working on two!
Now, I know what you're all thinking. "But he's already so lazy that it takes him forever to upload anything in the first place. Now we're gonna be waiting for two different things that'll be updated who knows when? Gah, you fiendish fiend Nightroad!" At which you'll shake your fists angrily at me. But fret not! I'm using this dual story writing so that way I will update more frequently (and keep me off of TF2 >>).
So! With that in mind, I would appreciate some feedback from you lovely people. I've got a list of stories that I wanna write on my profile (and for the sake of it, I'll throw them in here as well), and I want you to pick which ever sounds most appealing to you. After a set amount of time, whatever story has the most "votes" will be the one I start on. Oh, and I should probably mention that you can't pick The Professor and The Maid since I'll already be working on it as well as whatever story wins the vote. Can't wait to hear from ya!
Edit: I've decided that the deadline for this shall be December 12th, 11:59 p.m. Central time.
Here's that list I mentioned earlier
A Chance At Redemption
No Regrets
Identity Crisis
Truly Daring
An Unlikely Encounter
The Professor and The Maid
Crazy, but Not Quite Insane
Pet for the Princess
Sisters in Love
I Believe You
Losing Myself
Falling for My Teacher
For My People
Well, luckily I think that many of those titles give a pretty good idea of the shipping involved:
A Chance At Redemption: Okay, starting off with a poor example. RD and Spitfire? Well, RD and someone, at least.
No Regrets: I dunno.
Identity Crisis: Not sure, but Luna/NMM and anyone else makes the most sense.
Truly Daring: Daring Do and most likely Rainbow Dash (though it could of course be anyone else).
An Unlikely Encounter: The word "unlikely" hints at a crack-shipping. I've got nothing.
The Professor and The Maid: No idea.
"Is there a reason that you put a Trixie emoticon after this title?" 
Crazy, but Not Quite Insane: Pinkie Pie. Shipped with... I dunno, Twilight Sparkle? Honestly I think it could be Pinkie, Twilight, or Nightmare Moon shipped with anyone else.
Pet for the Princess: Fluttershy and Luna or Celestia. Or, gut feeling here, Luna and Octavia. Dunno why I think that, it doesn't make too much sense.
Sisters in Love: Either the princesses (Luna and Celestia), or possibly Pinkie Pie and her sisters. Now that I think about it, it's kinda odd: other than AJ and AB, there aren't any other sister-pairs that come to mind.
I Believe You: AJ and Rainbow Dash comes to mind, though there's not much to go on.
Losing Myself: Eminem Pony and the Moment. (Ha-ha, no not really. Though if it is, I downvote this idea by a about 12,000.)
Falling for My Teacher: Most likely Celestia and Twilight, though it could conceivably be one of the CMCs and Cheerilee, or a non-canon tutoring arrangement, in which case it would most likely be Twilight and Rainbow Dash, AJ, or one of the CMCs (my guess would be AJ).
For My People: Celestia and anyone else. (See? Totally narrowed that down. Unless it's something more interesting, like a tragic villain-redemption story, like NMM and a subject.)
So how many did I get right? Or close to right? Anyways, I give 75,000 votes to Sisters in Love (you really must outline the rules when setting up a vote). Also, I've got some time to do some proofreading again, so if you want some help with the proofreading, I'd be glad to lend a hoof to one of these stories, or whatever else.
Cheers,

75,000 votes for Sisters in Love huh? Let's just hope nobloody comes along and outvotes ya if you're gonna go that route with these loosely written rules
As for the proofreader bit, I've got a proofreader, but I certainly wouldn't mind another pair of eyes to pre-read it and bounce ideas off and and all that jazz. Still interested?
Also! About how many you were right about...I'mma send you a private message about it. Spoilers and all that stuff. I'm sure you (and everybloody else) understands

Well, I appreciate the both of you at least voicing your opinions. However, since it was only you two that said anything, that makes it a tad harder to pick a winner.
So! I'm going to take the two stories that were voted for and put them up to the ol' coin toss and whichever wins, I'll post the first chapter of within a few days.
Again, I really do appreciate the feedback. Even if it was from only two people so thank you both
