Christmas Fic Update... and Kinda Sorta Contest! · 3:32am Oct 19th, 2014
Yes, once again my gift to you all will be a pair of Christmas/Hearth's Warming themed stories. The first is the oft-delayed 'the Greatest Gift,' a story I will reveal no plot details about.
The other... well, there's the issue.
I have the story worked out, thanks to Rubycast. She suggested that since 'Let it Snow' was so entrenched in romantic love, that this year I should focus on familial love.
This sequel to 'Let it Snow' will of course take place in the continuity, but not in one single night. I'll jump about the timeline in order to tell the best stories possible. Here's what I've got so far...
-Rarity and Sweetie Belle's first Hearth's Warming as mother and daughter... and their first without Rarity's parents.
-Rainbow Dash spending her first Hearth's Warming with the Apple Family. It also happens to be little Scarlet's first Hearth's Warming... and Granny Smith's last.
-On the first Hearth's Warming since Applebloom and Sweetie Belle got their cutie marks, Scootaloo tells her parents exactly what she wants for Hearth's Warming.
-Shining Armor hatches a scheme to attend both Morning Dew and Moon Shadow's first Hearth's Warming that requires Twilight's help.
-Caramel comes with Pinkie Pie to visit her family on the rock farm for Hearth's Warming. How will they react when they find out that the pair have already gotten married?
For a framing device, I'm thinking Bon Bon and Lyra's wedding. The chapters will be character recollections.
BUT I HAVE NO TITLE!
So I throw it to you all. The best title wins and has the fic dedicated to them!
Memoirs of Hearths' Warming?
Maybe you could follow the theme of the last one and name it after a Christmas Carol? Like, Silent Night or something.
I'm think that a title using the word 'memories' would be good.
How about 'Memories: Old and New' or how about 'Chain of Memories'? I know that's a Kingdom Hearts title as well, but I still think it fits really well.
Is there a limit to how many titles we can suggest?
2542970 Nope. No limit.
Winter Lights?
Branches of the Hearth's Warming Tree. Since it's a story with many individual stories all branching from the same continuity.
Tis the season for families?

Nice job.
