    It Can't Be Just Me

    I still go to Derpibooru. I know some people have stopped, or at least stop having their art there, but it is still the most convenient way to see most mlp art (and not having to create an account for every art site under the sun). I also live out in the country, so there are many times when my internet can be spotty. There are times when I will be in the middle of something, and it will slow,

    Still Getting Attention For Some Reason

    So, it has been over a year since I last posted or updated a story (August 2021), and almost a year since I announced i was giving up on continuing any stories here. Yet, somehow, I am still getting notifications that people are liking my stories, and even occasionally getting new followers.

    I'm kind of curious as to why?

    Giving Up

    Well, I'm admitting defeat. The stories that I have here but have not finished are now officially cancelled. After all this time, it seems unlikely that I will be continuing to work on them. Sorry to those who were hoping that they would keep going, but hopefully you understand.

    MLP, D&D, and breath weapons

    Something I was thinking about the other day.

    In the show, we have dragons of numerous colors, but they all breathe fire. Some of them are of different colors, but it is fire all the same.

Ideas free to good home · 5:22pm Jun 11th, 2014

So, with already having two series in the works (The Shining-verse and The Shard-verse), I really do not have an interest in trying to create more. Unfortunately, that does not stop me from getting ideas. I have no interest from using them because it would probably start to stretch me too thin, but I don't want them to go to waste either. As such, I am going to post them here in case anyone wishes to try writing them and needs an idea. They are free to anyone who wants to use them.

Although I do ask that if you do, please let me know (preferably with a link to it). Admittedly, some of them may already exist and I just don't know about them.

1. A My Little Pony/Eureka cross-over: After catching her little sister for running away, Applejack finds her way to a very strange town with a very strange situation. Next thing she knows, she is the sheriff in a town full of geniuses that seem to be lacking in common sense.
Characters:
Applejack - Sheriff. Finds herself in very strange situations because of the supposed geniuses around her. Often ends up solving matter using simple solutions that seem like common sense or by making an outrageous suggestion that sets off a chain of thoughts that lead to a previously unthought of possibility.
Apple Bloom - Applejack's little sister. Became a bit of a delinquent after the death of their parents. Ends up staying in the town with her sister and making friends.
Rainbow Dash - Deputy. Highly skilled in weapons and unarmed combat. Is a little put off by Applejack at first, resenting being passed over while a previously unknown pony takes the role of sheriff. The two eventually reach a mutual respect and cooperation.
Rarity - head of the corporation that sponsors and runs the town. Tries to keep a control on damage and do what she thinks is best for the town.
Pinkie Pie - owns and operates the most popular diner in town. Is still Pinkie Pie with all that entails.
Fluttershy - animal control officer. Seems to be more comfortable with animals than other ponies. Extremely interested in animal behavior and genetics.
Twilight Sparkle - super-genius and independent operator. Twilight owns and operates a little shop of her own, supposedly designed for repairs. Is a genius even by the town standards. Often has to assist Applejack when dealing with malfunctioning machines or dangerous spells.
Spike - dragon. Rarity's assistant and secretary. Has a tendency to get himself into trouble due to his curiosity.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo - exist. No idea beyond that.

2. A My Little Pony martial arts story: (Human or anthro would probably be best) Twilight Sparkle is the prized student of Celestia and has been studying the mystic fighting style for most of her life. She has great power, but very little experience. Foreseeing the return of Nightmare Moon, Celestia sends Twilight to learn the way of five other martial art masters.
Twilight Sparkle - student of Princess Celestia. Is highly skilled in channeling chi and creating energy bursts. She along with her pet dragon are sent by Celestia to seek out and train under five others and learn the ways of their fighting style.
Applejack - Way of the Earth. The style focuses on strong stances and powerful blows. Relies on blocks and kicks.
Rainbow Dash - Way of the Sky. The style focuses on speed and agility. Primarily relies on dodging attacks and using fast, accurate blows to specific spots on the opponent.
Fluttershy - Way of the Gentle Hand. Focuses more on healing than actual combat. In battle, relies on turning a characters own attacks against them, causing them to "defeat themselves."
Rarity - Way of the Shadow. Focuses on stealth and deception. Tries to keep attacks from being seen or misdirecting the opponents attention.
Pinkie Pie - Way of the Fool. One of the strangest fighting styles. The fighter gives the illusion of stumbling and being unfocused, seeming to strike my luck or chance. Is extremely difficult to master or defend against.

3. In the style of Reboot. Equestria is a computer system with all the ponies being sprites representing programs. Nightmare Moon is a virus that infected the Luna program. The mane six seek out a set of old programs that are supposed to create the Harmony.exe protection program.

Yeah. The last one is a bit difficult for me to describe I suppose, but you get the main idea. Hopefully some of these will be of use and create a great story (or at least inspire one to be made).

Good luck.

Wow, that ReBoot idea sounds awesome. I hope someone does something with it. :pinkiehappy:

I really like the martial arts idea, though if I were to do it, I'd probably have the five all be students themselves of the different schools, and run it similar to a sentai team where six young martial arts experts with different styles come together to fight evil. So they'd each have their own teachers. Applejack would have studied under her grandmother, Pinkie's teacher would be Surprise, Rainbow's would be Daring Do, and I have no idea who Fluttershy and Rarity's teachers would be... maybe Fluttershy studied under Zecora?

Nightmare Moon as a "boss" the six have to beat in combat would be kind of awesome. With Twilight pulling a mystic rabbit out of a hat at the end, guessing the true identity of Nightmare Moon based on the legend of the two sisters, and instead of delivering a fatal final blow, she uses a technique that's supposed to purge the mind and purify the target, allowing Nightmare Moon to turn back into Luna.

Discord would be awesome too; his style would seem superficially similar to Pinkie's, but all his wild and impossible stunts are misdirection. His true technique is to find the weak points of anything, and make them shatter. Including hearts and minds. Which means that Twilight defeats him by rebuilding herself from a broken state, and rebuilding her broken friendships, something no one has ever succeeded at doing before, so Discord never sees it coming.

Chrysalis has to be a master of ninjutsu, of course. And Tirek is the guy who, the moment you use a technique on him, can replicate it, better than you. Like Ifurita in El-Hazard.
