Give me ideas for the greatest, most terrible story, and I will write it. · 7:37am May 8th, 2015
I'm growing tired, so the rational part of my brain is slipping. It is because of this I've had an awful, terrible idea.
EDIT: Time's up, everyone. Thanks for all the submissions. Now let's see where this goes.
I haven't published anything in the past couple of months, and I feel a little bad because of that. I've got at least 36 stories sitting in various stages of incomplete, and while I add to a couple of them every day, I haven't gotten around to finishing a single one. So, in an attempt to get the ball rolling, I'm going to incorporate just about anything and everything people leave in the comments below into a single story.
You heard that right! No doubt it will be absurd, meaningless, and a downright stupid story. But maybe it'll be fun. So in case that single statement in the previous paragraph or even the title itself wasn't clear enough: Leave a comment on this blog with an idea for me to incorporate into a story. I will write a story including all submissions. These ideas can be many things, including but not limited to: characters to include who must fulfill a specific task, places that they must visit, objects that must be present or used in specific ways, sentences that must be uttered, et cetera.
The only catch is that I refuse to write anything that will warrant sticking this story with a Mature rating, so keep that in mind. Also, no OCs. Canon characters only, with the exception of Button Mash and Dr. Whooves. They can die in a fire.
Please, one submission per user, and one idea per submission; no lists or anything overly elaborate. Be as specific or vague as you desire, and feel free to build off of each other. Tell your friends! I really don't care right now, even though I probably will later. If anyone with artistic talent wants to create or collaborate on cover art, that'd be cool too. In 24 hours, submissions close. So do your worst now while you have the chance.
I'm going to regret this, I just know it. Oh well.
Rarity has a burning, unrequited crush on her latest dress modeler, Amethyst Star.
There's only one problem. Rarity is allergic to Amethyst Star.
Cultists try to resurrect nightmare moon. Celestia interrupts them, so instead of getting a full-on Nightmare moon, they get an alicorn foal called Nyx.

While the shenanigans of anything else going on happen the Main Six play D&D and suddenly get sucked into a REAL LIFE PLOT OF DOOM (Liches, Bandersnatches, Jabberwocks, ORKZ, all of it) ; then the board games come to life and start trying to fuck it all up.
Octankvia.
Yes, that's a ship name.
Due to a horrible miscommunication, Octavia ends up on a date with Tank.

What kind of a moron would try rewriting that?
A human Anon/Twilight Sparkle second-person clopfic that gets halfway into the act before Twilight starts crying and admits that she had a really rough day but she doesn't want to disappoint you even though she's not in the mood, and instead of pressing onward you talk her off the ledge and hug her until she falls asleep, then go beat off in the bathroom and go to bed yourself.
The title of the story is, "Nice Guy".
Rainbow Dash flies westAfter a magic mishap (those always seem to happen!), Twilight accidentally sucks the souls of her five best friends into her own body, leaving their pony vessels nothing but lifeless husks. In order to bring them back, she must transmogrify herself into a parasprite, eat a bunch of whatever it is parasprites eat, and assexually reproduce like they do in the show, each time spitting out one of her friends as a new parasprite. Once she has done this 5 times and gotten all her friends' souls into fresh parasprite bodies and their voices out of her head, some other magically apt creature like Discord or Celestia or Trixie or etc. will need to change them back into ponies. For a bonus challenge, the only pony who actually knows that spell is Sunset Shimmer, who took the only copy of the book containing it with her to the human world. What the parasprites would transform into in the EQG universe is up to you.
Time Turner dies in a fire.
You already owe me lots of things. I'm waiting.
Damn, you people are lacking creativity.

Human in equestria + Rarity = profit?
And I'm willing to colab.

>no OCs
>implying Nyx is original
The shiggy diggy is strong.
Also, I propose you write Seattle_Lite in Equestria. 99% of the story is standard SoL, but he makes a random appearance once every 20k words, much to the confusion of everyone else.

Technically, mine could be a self-insert.
The Little Wheely Bopper That Could.
Twilight is actually Luna and Celestia's Daughter.
It turns out that Pinkie Pie is actually Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle standing on each others shoulders in a pink pony costume. No-one has yet realised.
I'm under obligation to suggest, "The Little Wheely Bopper at the Perfect Height for Big Mac Blowjobs" on the grounds that Obs won't return my family if I don't.
Also Twilight is actually a lich.
Scootaloo gets wing cancer, and needs to get replacement wings from Dash!

Mind toning that down? It's a bit too elaborate.
Sweetie stubs her hoof on a paperclip, removes it
Days later, she notices bits of her hoof turning metal.
More bits turn metal
Sweetie becomes the Iron Mare
Not that one
the Japanese one
Rainbow Dash is colourblind. She doesn't realize it because it's never come up before.
This isn't really a story idea. It isn't even a major plot point. It just sorta comes up. Everyone's like "Really? Huh, weird."

That is way too brilliant.
Armed with only a guitar and the power to rock, Maud Pie must save Equestria from the music industry.
This.
Luna gets really drunk one night and loses the moon somehow, she starts to panic as she realizes she has no idea where it went.
I have one.
Donkeys attempt a revolution and try to overthrow Celestia.
They're a bit crap.
Then there's cake.
Many years into the future, the alicorn great-great-grandchildren of Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, what have you, struggle to find their place in a world that's forgotten what being an alicorn truly means.
Edit: WELL SINCE THERE'S NO OCs BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT CREATIVE then I guess you can also just write about the day that Princess Cadance had to ward off a yeti from the Crystal Empire and finds out things aren't quite as simple as she thought.
All of the pets are over at Fluttershy's while the rest of the Mane Six are out of town. This poses a problem for Angel, especially when something heinous from the Everfree kidnaps Fluttershy in the dead of night, and especially especially when this forces him to work together with the other pets to rescue her.
Mr and Mrs. Cake both work for the Equestrian Espionage Agency, and when a dangerous changeling is in Ponyville it's up to them to uncover who it is and stop them.
The problem is that neither one knows the other is a spy, and is trying their best to keep it hidden.
By the end of the story, at least half (if not all) of the major characters are either dead or in traction, to the point that others are starting to get wise and try in vain to avoid the plot.
Cherry Jubilee and Tirek eat board games.
Together. Because they're married.
At some point, a failed attempt at drifting a train (purely because trains that drift are inherently awesome) leads to a deadly crash that is ultimately meaningless in the full scale of things.
That video was not funny. I am not sorry.
You could probably stack this with BP's idea down there. I'm sensing a Final Destination theme, here.
Thanks everyone! I'll take all your ideas and combine them into a single story now. First, I need to go do some planning. No more after this comment will be considered.
Everyone Dies. The End.
