Hey, if he does, there'll be a bunch of single-upvote fics at the bottom of the sheet that'll never get looked at. :raritywink:

I was curious to know exactly what the magnitude of the fic list is, so I did a bit of data scraping and cross-referencing with Fimfarchive to create a spreadsheet of all fics currently under consideration (or at least, those for which URLs were given).

The good news is that you can just about finish all of them by the end of the year. If you don't sleep.

*sputters* you just made my spreadsheet for me? T-THANKS! I'll just... take that... add the non fimfic ones... insert some sorting mechanisms...

*You are amazing.*

I actually didn't know you had already planned to make a spreadsheet. :) PM me an email or something and I'll give you access to the sheet.

So ...

Queen Rarity https://www.fimfiction.net/story/400457/queen-rarity (not yet on the list) can go with https://www.fimfiction.net/story/31089/the-three-sisters, as yet another example of "Rarity is a changling queen", although this one is set in Pedestria instead in of Equestria.

(edit to clarify: that's an upvote and a new recommendation both.)
===

Whatever you do, don't visit the optimalverse. You just know that someone will wind up being satisfied by the ... well, not a hero, not a protagonist, not an antagonist, not a villain, not an anti-hero, ... what do you call someone that isn't trying to hurt you, isn't trying to win, but just is an unstoppable force of human creation?

(Whoops, sorry, missed that already in the accepted story list.)

An outstanding comedy. Maybe not the best for crossover potential, but worth sharing just the same.

... what do you call someone that isn't trying to hurt you, isn't trying to win, but just is an unstoppable force of human creation?

A Mary Sue?

6907180

I define Mary Sues contextually. If their abilities or personality break the story, then they're a Mary Sue. And ONLY then.

CelestAI as a Mary Sue ...

Alright! Good to know my first story now has a plus in it! :D :yay:

OLDEST STORY: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/9/the-greatest-equine-who-has-ever-lived
NEWEST STORY: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/439925/a-pony-named-nope

ALPHABETICALLY FIRST: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/227933/314-pm
ALPHABETICALLLY LAST: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/56666/zapfilly (The ONLY Z fic. Huh.)
There are no X stories.

Of The Hive and Unity are still tied for highest voted. (ignoring Letters and the Immortal Game since they were pushed to the top)

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/9/the-greatest-equine-who-has-ever-lived Wins shortest fic: 321 words. No doubt created before the word limit was imposed. The 1000 word fic (which is next) is https://www.fimfiction.net/story/431606/inspired-by.

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/45860/diaries-of-a-madman is the longest story at 2,732,548 words. This is longer than SotS will ever be. Massive. Ridiculous. I shall write LSB until we surpass this monstrosity AHAHAHAHAH!

LIKES AND DISLIKES (some stories are invisible, so they aren't in the running.)
LEAST VISIBLE LIKES: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/428753/sigil-of-souls-stream-of-memories though, looking at the fic now, it's ratings have changed since the list was made. Hmm. Such is the way with low-number fics!
LEAST DISLIKES: There are several with zero. I will talk about them later.
MOST LIKES: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/41596/past-sins Ah, Past Sins. Why am I not surprised. 11,546 likes. Geezums. Man I'd just like to break a thousand one day.... (on a large story, I know "Physiology Of..." broke it.)
MOST DISLIKES: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/111738/your-human-and-you With 488 dislikes. ...And this was the #3 story in terms of likes, with 7275. Interesting.

LEAST VIEWS: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/433043/cutie-mark-crusader-agent-sweetie-belle just over a hundred.
MOST VIEWS: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/41596/past-sins Past Sins takes it again. 1,597,705.

And now the true measure of quality - the like dislike ratio! Likes divided by dislikes! But on stories with small vote counts, it's not really fair, so we need to split it up into two 'cups'. Low votes, and high votes. Of the low votes...
WORST RATIO: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/425396/the-belle-rings-true at 2.833
BEST RATIO: The five stories that have NO dislikes. Deserts and Dragons, Keeping your Balance, Casebook of Currycombs, The Elements of Power, adn the Engineer's Wings.
Not really a fair judge of either story due to small numbers. But of the high votes...
WORST RATIO: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/185272/the-chase at 4.396. ...I guess epicfic has some problems.
BEST RATIO: a perfect score from https://www.fimfiction.net/story/330784/keeping-your-balance. 117 likes, not a single dislike. Praiseworthy. Infinite. Dividing by zero.

And if you wanted another BEST RATIO from something a bit longer, https://www.fimfiction.net/story/412911/just-two-clones-having-dinner has a 196.66 ratio. Very impressive.

And that's all I got!

Hello, don't know if it's the kind of story you're looking for, but I'd love to see you do something with "The reader" series.

Wavelength Theorem

This is the beginning of an amazing AU where Sunset never went through the mirror.

Intellectual Property could be utilized as a standard Earth fused with a primitive universe generator. Merodi could probably help here and prevent the fictional offshoots from turning into NPC universes.

you've already accepted FoE but here are the rest of my favourites!

I especially think Bulletproof heart/Empty Horizons would be excellent because Rarity's the protagonist in those stories!

Is that video you shared the right one? Has absolutely nothing to do with pony, which is an LSB requirement.

I rec'd these because I had a helped the author with these fics, and there's a certain spark in the way he writes his characters that made me fall in love with them when I first came across them.
The first story is about eight humans who were inspired by several of the ponies enough to cybernetically become them. During an experimental test flight, a saboteur ends up tossing them into Equestria, with a massive amount of confusion once the real flesh and blood Mane Six meet their counterparts.
The second story is a re-imagining of Five Score because he disagreed with the 5score characters that seemed to completely drop and forget about their friends and family, because they were still human. In this world, pony sightings are more public, and the main character refuses to disappear into the shadows.
Unfortunately, the author has a bunch of IRL stuff that came up that grinded story progress to a halt.

On a side note: Is the vote counter hidden or something?

Also Hard Reset was already denied.

-GM, master of waters.

Looks like Cryo-7 has already gotten suggested. Good. That story is a fantastic ponies in space story and deserves more attention than it has gotten.
Let's upvote Chaotic Touch of Harmony as well, as that setting was surprisingly balanced between the humans and ponies. Many times when something of this sort happens, one side or the other is clearly superior. The story is very worth checking out.
Arrow 18 Mission Logs definitely gets an upvote. This site desperately needs more good science fiction stories, and Arrow 18 definitely sits up there with the best we currently have.
Blank gets an upvote as well. It really needs to be revived as it's a rather neat twist on the typical HiE idea.
Stardust/Mente Materia also needs upvoting. Excellent merging of MLP and X-Com continuities.
An upvote for Celestia's Tiny Student and sequels. The beginning is rough, grammar-wise, but CommanderX5 has improved dramatically and the story itself is excellent.

Now for some actual suggestions:
Back and There Again and its sequel. Rarity accidentally activates an ancient teleport beacon she finds while out gem-hunting and gets embroiled in an even more ancient conflict that ties Earth and Equus together in the distant past. While the local Sweetie is fairly standard at present, she's also in the middle of experiencing the horrors of living on the frontlines of a war.
Equestrian Alliance: Project Oblivion though I can't really recommend the sequel unless you've got a high tolerance for sex and sexual humor. The first story, though, mostly veers away from that to focus on the central idea of ponies meet humans to fight eldritch horrors. That said, thus far Ponyville seems to have been protected by the Everfree so the local Sweetie has not even been mentioned and is likely quite baseline.
Twilight Gets a Puppy and its sequels. Quite a divergence from a standard Equis, though I'm not sure it would mesh well with the multiverse....but it's still nice to see Spike and Shining actually get to be badasses, since Spike is almost always sidekicked and Shining tends to end up as an afterthought.
Finally, two for an author that's a close friend of mine.
Dash to the Stars is currently on hiatus (frustratingly) but is a fun Ponies in Space romp that begins with the Mane 6, sans Dash, getting abducted by space pirate slavers with Dash left behind to try to find a way to rescue them. The local Sweetie hasn't been on-screen, but by the current point in the story Celestia is in active talks with other nations around the galaxy...and they are aware of other universes, but theirs verges onto a True Demonic zone that the precursor race went extinct driving to a stalemate when they accidentally opened a portal to said realm.
The Queen is Dead and its host of sequels, eventually ending in End Game belong to a set of nested universes, with several closely related worlds nested within the verge of the Prime universe and they are very aware of cross-universe travel though they have kept separate. Suggesting this realm for a couple reasons beyond it simply being a fun romp of a storyline. The first is that all of these worlds are also connected by a True Demonic subrealm that, by SotS nomenclature, actively manipulates Ka to corrupt any being that enters it into a True Demonic Entity, though there are some very few that can resist the corruption and make it their purpose to make the Demons fear running into them. The second thing would actually give the Merodi even more of a mindscrew than the hell realm, and that is that the dream realm of this particular Equus also would be seen as manipulating Ka. The psychic gestalt of the dreaming populace can give rise to the creation of Dreams and Nightmares, which the Merodi would see as living Ka Curses that are driven to seek out the being that caused them to come into being and cause their dream or nightmare to become fact, completely rewriting reality to do so if necessary.

Suggestion: Star Mares

Quick summary: The story of Star Wars, as told from the viewpoint of the background ponies.

Circles by Grimm. Seems to have an multiverse already built in.

Let's make a frivolous non-canon Optimalverse fic a serious plot point in SotS, shall we?

I have a new suggestion, A Sweetie Dreamland by Lucar. Some please provide the link for me. It would be hilarious to see that Sweetie join the LSB, her name could be Dreamie because of her connection to Dreamland.

RQK
  • Reflections: Time and space shenanigans with Flurry Heart. Read CBT first.

Author of this one here. Like last time, I’ll throw out my blessing. I will also mention that it does contain a multiverse; I don’t know if it’ll clash with your setting, and you’d be the best judge of that, but just be aware of that~

TEquestria: Total War
War comes to Equestria: with despair, with starvation, with sacrifice and with heroism.

Great fic, and in need of a finishing. I'd love to see how Squiddy in particular would deal with this setting.
