This Random Comedy Idea Is Up For Adoption (But I'm giving it to somebody who is really REALLY good) · 3:34am Nov 21st, 2014
This adoption is gonna be a bit different from my previous adoptions. For one thing, this focuses on one story and one story only. It's a humor/random/crackfic/whatever idea that I got and I've shown a lot of people I know. They loved it, and said this could be a really big thing. Problem is, I don't have time to do it. I have too many fic on my plate to deal with this. But I do want to see it come to life.
This idea I will only give to somebody who not only wants it, but has experience with funny fics, writes well, and has free time. It has to be somebody experience and if nobody shows up I'm gonna look for people to give this idea too (You can even suggest to other people to try and adopt it from me if you think they can be up for the task). So if I feel your not up to writing this fic, I won't give it to you.
Here is the basic plot:
The idea is that Twilight sought to experiment with the mirror pool a bit more. So she had a clone of her made and gave it basic functions. However, it screws up and accidentally killed her. When she wakes up she find out she's still in her body and everything is fine, but she goes outside and finds the town in a state of mourning, for her. She spies on her own funeral where she sees herself in a casket. She can rule out being a ghost since she still feels pain and enters the ceremony shocking everypony. At first they accuse her of being a changeling, but in truth, she realizes she's in her clone's body.
Celestia and Luna do some scans and it's indeed Twilight with the same mind and soul, but her corpse is still there. She then realizes that her soul and mind must have sought out the clone instead. Everypony is just thankful she's alive (however, they continue with the funeral, burial and partly by the demands of Pinkie since she worked so hard for everything to be made and don't like seeing party stuff get to waste, plus Twilight admits she always wanted to go through her own funeral).
Twilight theorizes that the clones from the mirror pool can allow ponies souls and minds upon death to travel to their living bodies like beacons and take over. Rainbow Dash pretty much says that the clones can be a way to prevent their real deaths. Twilight says she wants to experiment, but finds it too dangerous and decides to leave things as they are. Rainbow, naturally, figures she can abuse this by doing really dangerous stunts, and clones herself. She manages to do a really dangerous stunt that ends up killing her, but sure enough, she wakes up in her clone's body and crashes her own funeral, proving, much to Twilight's anger, that her theory was real
Naturally, when everypony learns they can cheat death, they abuse the hell out of the mirror pool
And from there the fic goes in whatever crazy direction the writer wants. If you are interested in doing this fic or you know somebody who might be good for it, please mention it. Remember, I will not give this to first come first serve. I will give it to whoever I feel can do this justice. And I will assist in helping it made.
Hope I find somebody good for it.
As one of the ones who absolutely loved the idea, I do hope that this goes to someone skilled.
And I do hope that you blog about the fic when posted, RP, cause I will want to read it.
Where as I would be better at doing this idea in a darker theme, I would not even qualify to adopt it. Comedy is not one of my strengths with writing.
Sounds kinda morbid, but funny.
pfft, i could totally take this in the direction of everypony now doing dangerously lethal things like its no big deal.
Maybe even take a route like that movie Surrogates?

Problem is you A. Don't update that fast anymore. And B. are busy with your HiE fic
Well, we all know how this has to end: some earth pony clones themselves and then dies, and they don't come back to life in their clone's body, thus proving the long-held belief that earth ponies don't have souls.

And that is why I said could, doesnt mean I can. XD
I really want to see this being made by someone skilled. Not from some newly skilled kid on the block, but from a genuine veteran.
Also, why didn't you include my recession side effects headcannon? Because let's face it! The writing does have to reach a conclusion. Plus, all those limp bodies lay lifeless from all the dangerous stunts. But that's not enough! Soon everyone starts committing genocide and cutting themselves just for fun, drenching the entire village in a sea of blood.
Chaos will rise to bathe in the crimson river, all deaths raise his power over the princesses to the point where he becomes invisible. We all welcome our chaotic overlord as we come together to praise his magnificence. Praise the glory of chaos that is Discord! Praise our Lord! Praise him! stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/2570248/crazy-pinkie-pie-o.gif
That sounds fantastic. :D I want to read this, whenever someone writes it.

I need to find somebody is not only good at comedy but also experienced
This has the potential to be gut-bustingly funny. I hope you find an author to give it the treatment it deserves.
Well my most popular story is a light hearted comedy about suicide, so I'm certainly not afraid of the material, but there are three problems.
1) I'm overloaded on projects myself
2) Despite marking most of my stories with the comedy tag I'm not too sure if anyone else finds them funny.
3) Said story only has 41 likes so while popularity may not equal skill I'm almost certainly lower than you were looking for.
Skywriter immediately comes to mind as someone who could hit this out of the park, but he's currently writing a webcomic as well as writing a long series about Cadence so obviously he's busy. If he did have the time and was inspired it would actually be one of his less strange stories.
Thorax loves not killing characters permanently, but he's been struggling to write anything lately, and has a strange sort of hit or miss style that's a bit of a acquired taste.
Rainbow Bob is comes to mind, but obviously that does not work right now.
Blueshift has written a comedy about shipping zepplin versions of Trixie and Twilight, so this could be right up his alley and he's funny enough.

I'd probably have a shot at it. Will be a change of pace to use an idea put forward by someone and see where it goes.
Sounds like Scootaloo Dies a Bunch x Everypony!
2611108 This story DOES sound hilarious!
Also Pinkie, stop making cyclically referencing comments!
