1/26/2014: Why do all of my best ideas occur when I can't write?

Skype chat log after the break:

I really should be writing poni.
[9:17:57 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Oh, yeah. And all that code up there?
[9:18:19 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): It amounts to this:

[9:18:42 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Talk about a ton of work for little pay.
[9:19:10 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Pfft
[9:19:15 PM] Sam (Timaeus): I should be writing too
[9:20:07 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): I should be sleeping, is what I should be doing.
[9:20:21 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): 21:20.
[9:20:25 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Past my bedtime.
[9:20:58 PM] Sam (Timaeus): That might also be a good idea
[9:21:18 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Then good night.
[9:21:26 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): I'll learn how to code later!
[9:21:55 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): ...
[9:22:06 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): I was just hit with a fic idea.
[9:22:14 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): I hate my brain!
[9:22:33 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Only works when I /don't/ want it to!
[9:22:43 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): <em>dammit!</em>
[9:23:07 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Lay the idea on me
[9:23:09 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Then get sleep
[9:23:14 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Okay.
[9:23:22 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Daring Do is real, right?
[9:23:28 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Yeah
[9:24:03 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): That means that everything that she wrote about is real, or at least one could reasonably assume so, yes?
[9:24:14 PM] Sam (Timaeus): A plausible assumption
[9:24:28 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): That means that Rosetta is real, yes?
[9:24:38 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): And Rainbow ships them together, yes?
[9:24:56 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): You see where this is going?
[9:25:01 PM] Sam (Timaeus): I think so
[9:25:09 PM] Sam (Timaeus): And I have the goofiest grin on my face
[9:25:14 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): lol
[9:25:34 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Well, there are a million different ways this could go.
[9:26:00 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): The idea I was originally hit with was that Rainbow and Daring would work together to get the mares that they love.
[9:26:15 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): But now I've got like, a dozen different ideas flowing all at once.
[9:27:05 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): In one, Dash just assumes that Daring has a crush on Rosetta and tries to "help her along," not realizing that she's just projecting her love for Twilight onto a Daring who really feels nothing for Rosetta.
[9:27:57 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): In another, Dash writes Daring a letter, asking her how she should go about getting Twilight to love her, since they're in simillar situations—or so she thinks, at least.
[9:28:42 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): In yet another, Daring wants to send fanmail to Daring Do, but accidentally sends her DaringSetta fic instead.
[9:28:57 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Soooo many differend paths...
[9:29:04 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Curse you, brain.
[9:29:21 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): halp.
[9:29:28 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): There's no way I'm sleeping now.
[9:29:44 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Tell me that they're bad ideas and to go to sleep!
[9:29:57 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Sorry, I meant to get this out of your system so you could sleep
[9:30:00 PM] Sam (Timaeus): I dun goofed
[9:30:13 PM] Sam (Timaeus): First idea's my favourite
[9:30:22 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): Mine, too.
[9:31:11 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): I think the third one would be delightfully silly, though.
[9:31:28 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Pfft, it would
[9:31:58 PM] Sam (Timaeus): She's gotta have written it and meant to give it to Twi to edit or something
[9:32:13 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Twi wakes up the next morning and instead finds she has a fan letter to A.K. Yearling
[9:32:28 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): It'd be from Daring's POV. She gets home from a long adventure and finds this HUGE letter sitting on her doormat.
[9:32:51 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): She sits down to open it and slowly gets this big "WTF" look.
[9:33:10 PM] Sam (Timaeus): Rainbow busts her door down
[9:33:12 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "WAAAAAAAIT"
[9:33:25 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): XD
[9:33:34 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "..."
[9:33:44 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "...oh horseapples, you read it"
[9:33:54 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "..."
[9:34:02 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Um, Miss Yearling?"
[9:34:03 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "..."
[9:34:08 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Twi, I think I broke Daring Do"
[9:34:18 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "With what?"
[9:34:56 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Uh, long story. You see, there was a mix-up with the mail. Y'know that thing I asked you to give a look over?"
[9:35:39 PM | Edited 9:35:46 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "You mean that utterly ridiculous story about Daring Do falling in love with Rosetta Stone?"
[9:36:05 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Hey! You said it wasn't a bad idea!"
[9:36:36 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "I... Well... I meant that... Uh... Of course it was a great idea, Dashie!"
[9:36:58 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "...you just said that because I brought you coffee cake, didn't you?"
[9:37:17 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "...Nooooo..."
[9:37:58 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Y'know you're about as good as lying as Applejack is, right?"
[9:38:24 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "I... Well! I... What was this about Daring Do again?"
[9:39:12 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Oh right! Twi, I think she got that, er, thing in the mail by mistake and I think it broke her!"
[9:39:18 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Look!"
[9:39:23 PM] Sam (Timaeus): DD - "..."
[9:40:42 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "If it helps, Miss Doo, I'm fairly certain that Rainbow Dash only believes that you love Dr. Stone because she's projecting her so-called "secret" crush on myself unto you and your friend."
[9:41:53 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "H-how did you kno— I mean what 'secret crush'?! I don't have a crush on you!"
[9:42:17 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "Oh, please, Rainbow; you're as subtle as a hurricaine."
[9:42:58 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "I- but- you— you knew and you didn't do anything?!"
[9:44:03 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "I was waiting for you to overcome your irrational fear of courtship. Confidence is the key to any successful union and you clearly lack a large amount of it if you can't even ask your best friend out on a date."
[9:44:26 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "That and... uh, I wasn't exacty sure what to give you for an answer..."
[9:45:33 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "Hey, it's not like you've made it easy for me, okay?! Every time I try you just look at me with those eyes and give me that smile and I have to tell myself to breathe!"
[9:47:24 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "What are you talking about, Rainbow? I haven't changed my mannerisms around you at all! In fact, the only pony that's changed at all because of your feelings is /you!/ How do you think all of Ponyville knows about them?"
[9:47:52 PM] Sam (Timaeus): "A-all of Ponyville?!"
[9:48:20 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): "As subtle as a hurricaine was the phrasing I used, right?"
[9:48:57 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (what are we doing)
[9:49:06 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (I have no idea.)
[9:49:17 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (Delaying my sleep time would be my guess.)
[9:49:28 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (You should probly go to sleep now before we write an entire story)
[9:49:38 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (And I should probly sleep too. Early day tomorrow XP)
[9:49:40 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (No! THe show must go on!)
[9:49:52 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (Okay, then.)
[9:50:03 PM | Edited 9:50:05 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (Not as early as mine, I bet. :P)
[9:50:12 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (Probly not)
[9:50:20 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (03:50)
[9:51:14 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (Defs not, I get another hour)
[9:51:21 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (lol.)
[9:51:30 PM] Cody G (Blunderbolt): (Anyway, good night!)
[9:51:44 PM] Sam (Timaeus): (Night!)

Gotta love having a decietful, vindictive, jerk-of-a creative mind. But playing that with Tim was great fun.
