A peek into the plot bunny hutch · 11:24am Jun 26th, 2012

I've mentioned in the past an assortment of plot bunnies currently gnawing at me on the RPGnet pony threads, and I felt like trying to collect them all here, just so people have some idea of what I've got in the pipe. I of course can make no promises regarding when I'll get these done, but I'm having loads of fun writing these stories, even when they drift towards darker themes (like Kraken), and I want to tackle all of them eventually:

A young Ditzy Doo, barely out of high school, confides in her roommate and friend Carrot Top that she thinks she's pregnant. While waiting for confirmation and trying to figure out what to do, she reminisces about how she met a tragically widowed unicorn stallion and his adolescent daughter, and came to care deeply for them both.

Dinky and Sparkler are ecstatic to learn that their father is visiting from Canterlot, and Ditzy looks forward to introducing him to her new coltfriend. But Big Mac, despite his stoic exterior, is apprehensive, and struggles to deal with the unfamiliar and unwelcome feelings of jealousy towards his sweetheart's ex-husband and father of her foal.

Dinky Doo is fascinated by astronomy; not that it's her special talent or anything, it's just something she enjoys and keeps coming back to when she's not doing other stuff. Her friend Pipsqueak is fascinated by all things nautical, and wants to learn how sailors navigate by the stars, so who better to ask than the filly in his class who knows stars the best? Unfortunately, the only other thing that fascinates Dinky as much as astronomy is... Pipsqueak. She doesn't want to miss this opportunity to spend time with him, but how can she teach him about celestial navigation if whenever she's near him her tongue can't even navigate her own mouth?

Princess Luna, having finally come to understand the nature of the holiday, attempts to celebrate Nightmare Night a second time. Apocalyptic doom is threatened should offerings of funnel cake and libations of sarsaparilla be inadequate, while parents try to shield their children from the horror of long lines at the ring toss.

Fancy Pants, gentlecolt adventurer extraordinaire and top stallion in Celestia's "Uncivil Service", pays a late night call to a friend he knows can treat his wounds while exercising the utmost discretion: Rarity. It would appear that a delicate situation involving himself, the beautiful yet deadly Fleur de Lis, and a number of thoroughly uncouth diamond dogs has gone a bit pear-shaped. Upon learning the dramatis personae of this particular play, the fair Rarity insists on contributing towards the resolution of this matter, and will brook no dissent on the issue from Sir Pants.
