Here's something you don't hear every day: I'll write your fic idea for you! Drop your idea in the comments, and if it excites me, I'll scribble up a thousand words or so when I have time.
This little project, a LONG-ass time ago, was meant to get me writing and explore a range of fics from cute to cloppy to grimdark and back. Many of these were written long ago, as you can see--and in many cases I have developed far past them--but I'm still writing minifics. I figure I may as well post them, so I'm going to add them here. Think of this as just a collection of short things that I write whenever they hit me.
I have no content restrictions whatsoever and I enjoy trying unusual things, so throw me your craziest ideas--maybe the crazy will appeal to me!
I kind of want to steal this idea.
I can see this becoming popular....fast...
I may take one or two and make them into larger ones, and of course give credit to you....
This will be interesting..

Okay....BEST. IDEA. EVER.
I wish I could've thought of this! It opens doors for the writer AND the readers! Can't wait to see some of the requests!
I...actually have a request myself.
I've always wanted to see someone tackle a Diamond Tiara shipfic. No, I don't mean something like Diamond TiaraXSilver Spoon, or any of those kinds of ships. I mean a STRAIGHT-UP ship fic (Not SERIOUS shipping, but the kind of puppy love-type filly ships you'll find) between Diamond Tiara and a school colt. I find that idea so unique, and it hasn't been done before.
I'd honestly like to see if you could pull that off,
500470I'm sure it has been done. I don't remember where I saw it. But Google is your friend.
And if it hasnt, well there's your story.
Ok I have a non shipfic for ya. Write one about Celestia's guards running an excercise where they try to infiltrate their own defenses in order to see if they're adequate. Or perhaps you could write one about Chrysalis' and shinig armor's alone time (clop clop clop).
Between Diamond Tiara heteromarshmallow pubescent puppy-love and Chrysalis/Armor clop, I'm having a tough time deciding.
I've already come up with some interesting cuteness for Tiara, so that's gonna come first. Chrysalis clop will come up maybe.
I'm at work right now so don't expect it until tomorrow.
500638
Great! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see the finished product...
I'm also considering an action thing about the guards, don't get me wrong, but the Tiara thing is already coming together in my head.
It would be just as cute and have a stronger link to canon if you let me use Spoon :P
500762
Gah...I just don't like TiaraXSpoons fics. They've been done...over-done...
I want to see something unique. Something adorable that is straight shipping, but innocent and cute. That's what I've wanted to see...I'd be fine with you INCLUDING Silver Spoon though. After all, she's technically Diamond Tiara's go-to lackie in the series, so it'd make sense for her to be in it...
However...I just would like a Diamond TiaraXColt ship. I think it'd just bring so many new ideas to fruition. I don't mean to sound demanding,
501041
Ooh, something off-the-wall that runs the risk of feeling irritating and indulgent. You know, like a bad 40k pony fic.
I like this idea because it's different, and because if I do it in this style, it won't overstay its welcome. This has been added to the head-queue that isn't really a queue because I have no intention of being fair with who gets written when. Thank you.
500920
Don't worry, I thought of a fun way to put it together with a colt before I even considered Spoons. You'll like what comes out I think.
501050
I think I will,
Write a story of Queen Chrysalis making another attempt to gain entry to Equestria in order to feed her people. Since force did not work, she attempts diplomacy using the only leverage she has... demanding the return of the Element of Laughter to her people, the Changelings known in a different era as the Breezies.
Head canon.
There are six lesser pony breeds in Equestria; Unicorns, Earth ponies, Pegasi, Flutter ponies, Sea ponies, and the Breezies.
Once the world of Equestria was in balance between chaos and order. It was led by the two greater pony breeds; The Lords of Order where the Alicorns and the Lords of Chaos were the Draconequus.
The sudden arrival of three new breeds to Equestria (Unicorn, Earth ponies and pegasi) lead to a flaring of a long standing disagreement between the two greater races. How best should the leaser races be guided, by the hoof of order or the hand of chaos?
Polite disagreement soon grew to armed contest and finally into all out war. The Breezie and the Flutter ponies sided as a race with the Lords Of Chaos. The Sea ponies, the Unicorn and the Pegasi sided with the Lords of Order. While the earth ponies were divided as a breed between the two Lords.
The war raged for decades, growing more violent and intolerant with each passing year. Eventually even the leaders of the six lesser breeds realized how pointless the war truly was. How their lords had stopped being concerned with guidance and more concerned with winning what amounted to a debate.
Thus the leaders of the six lesser ponies breeds meet in secret and together in secret each forged a jewel of Greater Power, the Elements of Harmony. Together the Elements of Harmony could force even Gods to stop and see reason.
But into whose hooves should they place these great tools? Neither the Lords of Order or Chaos could be trusted anymore. Each would have used the Elements of Harmony to lay waste to the other. The six leaders finally found a pony they could trust to wield the Elements, an Alicorn Princess named Celestia.
A plan was made to gather the great host of Alicorns and Draconequus into what each believed to be a final decisive battle. There the Elements of Harmony would be used. It was audacious plan that would not have succeeded if not for a Draconequus General named Discord, whose motives were always suspect. The plan failed. Nether the Queen of the Alicorns nor the Queen of the Draconequus could agree. Princess Celestia was forced to seal both Great herd of Alicorns and Draconequus in Tartarus. Few Alicorns escaped the sealing and of the Draconequus, only Discord remained.
With the great sealing, came peace to Equestria but so too was the near complete lost of chaotic magic which the Lords Of Chaos had brought to the land. The Breezies, always the closest to the Lord of Chaos felt the great shuddering keenly as Chaotic Magic withdrew from Equestria. Thousands simply died where they stood.
Those Breezies that survived were creatures starved of magic. The greatest magic left in Equestria was love, chaotic at times, wild. The breezies, a breed more magical then any of the other lesser breeds had for the first time a need to feed. They were now the Changelings. Princess Celestia had no choice but to banish the Changelings from Equestria as their feeding on love brought chaos and misery to her new people.
The banishment of the Breezies by Princess Celestria brought silent disapproval from the Flutter ponies. The flutter ponies retreated to their isolated mountain valleys and never again participated in Equestrian life in any meaningful way.
Elements of each pony breed are as follows
Magic - Unicorns
Honesty - Earth pony (So that they may never lie to themselves again)
Loyalty - Pegasi
Kindness - Flutter ponies
Generosity - Sea ponies
Laughter - Breezies

Have fun!

That's a little heavier on the clop than I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, going over the top with clop would be a fun challenge, but it would be both difficult and not real interesting because my heart isn't seeing a legitimate direction besides lolporn.
Granted, the inherent appeal of WTF-level clop material can be its own draw. I'll think about it.
501161
Necronomicon would be sort of interesting and would spare me from trying to work the Human angle, which I've never touched until now.
501152
What you've written there is nearing the length of one of the mini-fics already published.
Your concept is interesting-- I'm a sucker for sweeping, universe-uniting ideas that make everything click together in a system the likes of which Aristotle might have written about-- but like hell I'm going to try to do it all the justice it deserves.
501206
You can write it even if I write it first.
501196
Thanks, please run with the story as far as you can go.
I have my hands full with the three fics I already have and can't start a 4th even if the idea of the story is interesting.
I feel this story needs to be told. If you listen to Queen Chrysalis song, it does sound like she is trying to being a good queen to her people. It even sounds a bit sad. She is looking to feed her people and her dreams when she was small was to see her people fed. It seems even royalty was not far away from hunger. She looked fearful when she came to contest Celestia in their battle of magic and surprised when she won. It gives the feeling that she really wasn't as confident as she appeared to be but stood her ground (bravely) even against the Sun Goddess.
All these things make Queen Chrysalis a very dangerous pony. She believes she is morally right. She has her people depending on her to carry the day. She is brave enough to stand against a Goddess. She has no love for Equestrian ponies, no room in her heart at all for them.
Rainbow Dash takes Fluttershy to a Rammstein concert.

Alternatively, if you want to go completely off the deep end, make it Anal Cunt.
501352
Listen, I'm not sure if you understand what's going on in this thread.
I will run with this idea if I get to it: Queen Chrysalis acting as queen to her people. I make no promises about how well I represent your overarching concept especially because the whole bit about each race holding an element isn't really doing it for me.

A call out for interesting ideas that you may decided to run with or not....
I'm just taking up space talking about an idea i have, hoping to interest you.
I'll keep quiet now......
I like all of these stories so far! It's certainly a great skill to take another person's idea and be able to turn it into a story, no matter what length! Nice job on this one as well!
I suppose it's time for me to anticipate my request,
Light and darkness, good and evil--They would not exist without their opposites.
False.
Darkness is merely the absence of light. Evil is nothing different; merely the absence of good.
It is only in the human mind and its obsession with naming and categorizing things that they are "opposites." In truth they do not even begin to be equal.
505676
Darkness is the opposite of light. Yes of course darkness is a lack of light instead of being a positive thing of its own, but Luna here is taking the philosophical position that some things are defined by what they are not. And, to continue that line of thought, the fact that light exists means different things will have more light than others. What isn't very lit is "dark." The existence of light causes us to judge some things as light and some things as dark.
This is a pointless argument and you know it. Surely you're familiar with the cliche of "there can be no good without evil" or whatever. Luna isn't presenting a metaphysical manifesto, she's just trying to explain herself to the voice in the back of her mind.
Interesting direction to take. Very well done. I loved it.
525475
I've written Tiara and her classmates here as acting a lot younger than they're portrayed in the show--I figure the versions here have ages that are just barely breaking single digits--but they have a kind of Calvin and Hobbes agelessness in the show anyway, don't they? They're supposed to be pre-pubescent yet they're very capable and intelligent.
So I figure I can write them as whatever ages I feel like. Including young enough to behave like the little schoolfillies they are. <3
I gotta say, I LOVED it!
I mean, there's a very fine line to walk upon when writing these kinds of fics where it's not "romance", but rather little dabbles of cutesy crushes between schoolfillies. I love how you were able to balance it well here, not getting all "philosophical", but maintaining a nature of the fic that remained cute, but was very potent!
You absolutely surpassed my thoughts! Well-done!
526497
This was a CHALLENGE. I've never been a pre-pubescent girl before, so it was hard to write for one.
526531
I'd imagine,
In all seriousness, I loved it! Job well done, and I can assure your efforts surpassed anything I could've thought of!
I've liked all of these. They're all well written and intriguing, despite being short. In short, simply awesome!
I have a vague kind of idea. How about you tackle Scoot's family and how they mold her into what she is? Two rules; her older sister can't be RD and she can't be an orphan. Maybe she has a lot of brothers or something and they're always teasing her, so whenever she acts reckless she's just trying to prove herself to them.
Eager to see what you do next!
552633
This is a bit too, shall we say, important for me to just take a quick crack at it like this... but then, maybe the challenge is to communicate something powerful in just a short burst.
I'll mull this one over. I have a silly one lined up, but after that... this intrigues me.
I have an idea, A war between the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts based upon the song, War of Change by Thousand Foot Krutch. The war has raged on for years with either side not wanting to give up. Now a group of 4 pegasi (Blaze, Blitz, Ricochet, Neon) have been thrown into the war and have a difficult choice to make, either join the Wonderbolts or the Shadowbolts and their choice will change the war. Hence why I would like it based upon the song War of Change. If you do do this I would like it to be called War of Change. (Yeah, I constantly listen to the song non-stop and I have even began to sing parts of it)
I'm not exactly a fan of racist Bon Bon, but aside from that, it was pretty cute. (...Well, I'm not a fan of shipping, either, so the ending wasn't for me. Such is the nature of personal tastes, I suppose.)
Mostly neutral (read: grammatical) comments to follow:
>"No," Bon-Bon seethed, "What's racist
"What" shouldn't be capitalized.
>in the place-- most of the
Here (—) is am em dash for your copypaste convenience. They don't have spaces on either side of them.
>Neighponnese
If Japanese has one N at the end, I don't see why this should have two.
>Earth Pony
Usually uncapitalised.
>Oh of course.
Comma after "Oh".
>Earthers
>Unis
>Mudder
No reason to capitalise. You don't capitalize such slurs with normal English terms, even if the slur is racial (unless said slur is an abbreviation of the country or ethnicity name). In the case of the first two, "earth pony" and "unicorn" are common nouns. It's not like you capitalise "horse".
>someone might see her!
Missed end quotation mark.
>You can't levitate the sushi, you use the chopsticks.
I'd say something about how they sometimes use hands to eat sushi in Japan, but I'm sure sushi-eating etiquette is too nuanced for me to say when it's rude to do so and when it's rude not to do so.
>'Properly'
Double quotation marks. Single quotation marks aren't used for anything in US English besides quotes within quotes.
>She replied
Lower case "she".

Hey, thanks for the run-down. The ending just came from a combination of me playing out Lyra and Bon as a longtime couple who know each other too well, plus the fact that I have a powerful, barely restrained urge to write clop into everything.
Regarding sushi-eating ettiqutte: I should think it has to do with the type of sushi. You'd never eat nigiri with your hands. Nigiri, of course, being the kind of sushi that's a wad of rice with a slice of sashimi or something on top.
Blood smells of iron, not copper. (Didn't read this because content, sorry.)
693972
It's nothing BAD.
Wait, you didn't read it because of content but you made it to the end?
693978
I'm the kind of guy who likes looking at spoilers, especially when the title has the word "blood" in it.
693988
Tch.
I swear by Celestia ain't nothing disturbing or amoral in the story. Still, you've blown the punchline for yourself so... Sorry to have squicked you.
Are you still taking requests for this story?
1063821
I've veered off and started on a project that I'm in love with instead.
I'm open to the idea of doing this again but I'm trying to keep myself from veering off until I've got a decent story arc finished. Sorry.
The good news is I have a new thing on my page! Go and have a look. And if you turn off your mature filter you'll also find another new thing that's not a shortie but is pretty cool anyway.
552633
I was re-reading my old stuff and I saw this comment from way back when.
It caught my attention because you know what? I'm actually planning on answering this for an upcoming fic.
That fic's probably not coming up for a long time, though, so i'm gonna go ahead and just write a short thing about Scootaloo's home situation, then either append it to this thing or post it as its own thing.
I think you'll find that my answer to "what is Scoots' home situation like" is very fitting and maybe even sort of sweet.
I dunno when you should expect this. Follow my profile if you gotta because if it ends up being like the longer ones here I'm gonna post it as its own thing.
