Welcome to the Idea Factory, where art cometh before glory.

To be a bit less melodramatic, the purpose of the Idea Factory is simply to act as a freespace for posting story concepts and plots that the given poster really would like to see written, but doesn't have the time or desire to do themselves.

This is also a place to discuss potential collabs and help people iron out plot wrinkles of the stuff posted.

Here, we don't care that much who gets the credit for a story idea. It's important to give credit where credit is due, but beyond that, just getting the ideas here turned into the pieces of art they were meant to be is enough.

(Story Concept)

The story begin with Big Mac as a young colt being chase by bullies to everfree forest.

Big Mac was scare to go in because he heard stories about a faceless pony that live in

the everfree forest but hearing the bullies closing in so Big Mac ran into the forest

the bullies ran in too. Big Mac bumps into the faceless pony all he could see that the

pony have no face then Big Mac black-out. Then he woke up outside of the forest Big Mac

went back home and the next day Big Mac hears about the bullies disappearance and since

that day he vow to ever step in the forest again. Then skip some years to the current

time with Big Mac now as a full grown stallion Applejack dare Big Mac to go in the forest

to proves what happen years ago was in his head. Big Mac went in the forest then he broke

his leg then he meet the faceless pony again before he black-out this time he notice the

faceless pony look like a mare. Big Mac woke up by Applejack with his leg bandage up then

he found out that Applejack didn't fixes his leg after that day big mac start to feel like

I want two crossovers to be done.

The Name of the Wind

Divergent.

Want something more original?

Season 1 finale, the royal wedding. Or was it season 2...?

Anyways, after Shining Armor tells Twilight to not show for the wedding, she disappears, doesn't go back to ponyville, she's basically dropped from the story.

Cadance isn't a changeling after all, she's just a huge bitch. Shining Armor sees that, whatever you want, maybe they argue or break up, idc.

Most of the story being about him thinking about Twilight and how he missed her.

  Here is an idea.  Gnolls don't exist in Equestria but Diamond Dogs are the closest to em.  Take some wizard in another reality tries and saves one life.  That life being a young Flind Gnoll.

  Flind Gnolls are rarer race of Gnolls with greater stats overall and much greater intelligence  Flind Gnolls get their name because of the unnatural instinct of wielding Flind Bars more lethal then Weapon Masters of various races.

  Unlike their lower cousins and such Flind Gnolls come in a much greater variety of categories (just like humans being able to be Saints, Neutral, or Demons).

  That said the young Flind has an immediate dislike to most of the Diamond Dogs (not because of how stupid they are or how much bigger then he is to them [even young he would be greatly larger then them] but because of the Slavery and laziness they carry around with pride [what is to be proud-full of something you didn't do on your own {His bestial pride is greatly angered by this}]).

  Will here is an idea.  Take the Puppet Master and certain number of the Living Puppets and say they get sucked into that reality.  This Puppet Master is one of the good ones not the Evil Ones (which end up dieing to their puppets at the end of the movies).

  Could say he uses the power that which created and gave life to the puppets to assist in protecting his new home (Whether that be Equestria or some other land within that reality).

Crossover - Aladdin

Genie in Equestria.

How Genie finds himself in Equestria:

1. After the 1st movie, he visits other worlds.

2. After Aladdin and the gang died (of old age?), Genie ''disappeared'' and became a legend, before becomig a myth. Aladdin and the gang were the only beings he truly connected with and could call friends. Humans came and went and a new age, with new species raised up from the ashes of the humans.

3. Aladdin never found the lamp, and humans have died out. But a pony finds the lamp.

4. With Twilight becoming an alicorn, she gets a lamp as a gift from the camels of Saddle Arabia.

An idea for an Alt. Universe idea. Might be a popular/already used idea.

Replace Mane6 with colt OCs.

Twilight Sparkle=Astral Flare (magic prodigy, pupil of Celestia)

Rainbow Dash=Night Storm (Weather pony, works nights shifts)

Fluttershy=Heart Strong (Ponyville's legit vet and regular doctor)

Applejack=Skill Shot (all around Athlete and heavy duty worker)

Rartiy=Smooth Song (Musician, Poet)

Have them go through the more signifcant episodes' plots in the series. Feel free to change names for AJ and Rarity, they were rushed names.

Crossover - Rise of the guardians

Winter is coming in and Applebloom wonders why ponies bring forth winter, instead of just continue to have sunny harvesting days. Applebloom learns of the legend of the 'Winter spirit' named Frost from the book of ''Pre-Equestrian myths and legends''.

Soon after a herd of wendigos find the CMC while they are out crusading, but the wendigos seem.... friendly? and what is that flying pale ''monkey'' doing there?

For the first time since Sandman passed his powers on to Luna, he is finally truly remembered again.

Here's an idea:

Sorry, but if Celestia is willing to give Discord a second chance, then that doesn't make her willing to repair relations with Changelings beyond the realm of the impossible. I see a fanfic based on an early episode of Young Justice, where like the North and South Korea based countries, the Changeling Kingdom and Equestria's leaders gather at a peace summit to try and work out peace, with who else being the arbitrator (in Young Justice, Lex Luthor) than Discord.

Quick Idea

An American soldier in the Middle East is knocked unconscious (presumably dead) by a hidden car bomb. He wakes up in the Everfree Forest and must fight his way towards civilization. At some point, he reaches Ponyville and faints in Fluttershy's backyard. Fluttershy would at first treat the soldier like some kind of weird monkey, but would later come to know him a sentient human being that had somehow crossed into Equestria's universe; perhaps God gave him a strange second chance in this weird, pastel pony-filled world. Upon his recovery, he meets the Mane6 and a dragon decides to attack Ponyville. The soldier takes it down, and he ends up becoming the Guardian of Ponyville. He defends the citizens with his guns, knife, fists, etc. He gets by on his own resources and is quite close to Fluttershy, his first friend in Equestria. He is then called to Canterlot; the Princesses need his help against some mighty foe who challenges the "strongest and bravest creature" to defeat it. Fluttershy realizes how she actually feels for the soldier, and tries to tell him, only to be stopped by her own shyness. Her friends (rest of Mane6) encourage her, but she is still too shy. It isn't until a David and Goliath-like battle between the soldier and the "mighty foe" that she tries to confess her feelings.

Note: You could substitute Flutters with AJ and her respective concepts, seeing as both could have some kind of way to meet/help/relate to the character.
