Only mostly dead.

I'd love to have all the time in the world to develop everything I think of, but I don't. These are the ideas that were backburnered. Some for good reason. Others regretfully.

Maybe one day I'll return to them, but in the meantime, here they are for your partial enjoyment.

Chapters (45)

A day to read, another day to read more.
Let's do this.:heart:

Wow, now you released what we were talking about! And that despite you didn't wanted to!
Is that because I called you "lazy"? To show that you are so busy with writing that you even have a lot of stuff that never got released?
If so, that wouldn't have been necessary! It was not my intention to push you into a corner where you have to prove that you aren't lazy in writing and I doubt anyone thought that.

Hehe, love seeing those letters to Lunchtime again :heart:

Poor Flutters. She went out thinking she was gonna get some sugar, and instead got a job offer XD

Can i safely assume by the lack of individual genre tags on the ficlets and the tags on the overall story these are all variations on comedy SoL and romance? Or have some sad/dark/whatever slipped in to hide among the grass like a rake?:derpytongue2:

Oh! I would've liked this one. Then again, I also like the idea of Flutters guilting Cheerilee into a new cat every time she sees her in an attempt to help.

Oh wow. Just.. Wow. Bet AB still won't be forgiving herself any time soon. When I was very young my great grandfather came to visit. He was supposed to be the one to pick me up from daycare, but had a stroke and slipped on some ice. I didn't know what a stroke was, so for years I thought it was something caused by slipping on ice, which made it my fault because he was coming to get me. Death doesn't make sense when you're young.. Although living on a farm, maybe AB will cope better.

Very nicely done, for sure!

5750117 Most of them correspond with the tags, but not all. I'll go in and tag the chapters individually. It hadn't occurred to me to think about them in that capacity, but I should have. Thanks for the heads up.

5759728 Yeah, I actually really liked that chapter. I might still use it. I dunno. I'm pretty burned out on writing in general right now, but we will see how I feel after a bit of downtime. New Puppy is wearing me out, so I'm not really in the best headspace for it.

I loaded it into a spare teabag so that you could steep it like a civilized pony.

I like tea and don't like coffee, but there is something deeply, irritatingly wrong about that. WTF, Octavia?

5989029 She really, really dislikes Vinyl. I mean REALLY.

6518525 I hoped someone would find that title amusing.

I need to tell you that though you may not care for it, this is masterfully written. I love everything about the main story and this epilogue...the conversations, thought process. It's all really, masterfully written. I personally would like this, to tie in with canon, but you are the author...and what you feel about it is probably for the best.

But thank you for the amazing read.

This makes it a bit more confusing. :applejackconfused:

6960121 That's one of the reasons I didn't end up using it. It clarifies certain things, but it would have needed a lot more to it to fully integrate into the story.

Interesting! ... Wanna hear more about Cameo though, 'cause that seems more interesting, but gimmick stories can work, as Cheerilee's Thousand Dates shows, and possibly both plot threads, the Clones and Cameo, can work together.

Where did the clones come from?!? ... Random Magic/Potion Accident spawning them from Apple Bloom's bows? ... And now I've got the idea of her collecting those bows and wearing them gives her powers...

7129000 The Bloom Closet has been on my mind recently, so I might pick it up. I have several ideas for those clones, but I won't really know where I'm going with it until I start writing. I often outline stories out, then deviate wildly from the outline when inspiration happens. I just give myself a general guideline these days.

Oh. Nice lesson-metaphor-thing, with the "I'm not perfect" with the failure clothes, and how finding it leads to those failure thoughts and stuff! :raritystarry:

... Name, name... Something to do with lessons, failures, perfection... unlocking... magic? ... While not revealing the twist? ... "Rarity's Chest of Secrets"? Mmmm... Not that good...

Well, if Cheerilee actually remembers bits of all 1000 dates, she has to find out about the ones with Twilight somehow...

Not gonna give typo reports for these, 'cause they're scraps/drafts?

Well if you did use it, it'd certainly be a unique chapter, after all the others... The dramatic irony's pretty humorous, and I'd wonder what'd happen to her reputation after this... What would be weird is if she actually threw up instead...

Hmm... Yeah, gonna stop commenting, as these are totally abandoned, presumably?

Cradled in the divot Rarity’s body had carved out over the years, and supported by her pillow

A divot is a loose piece of ground / sod made from something striking it.

'groove', 'indentation', or 'dent' would be good words to replace there.

In First Steps Rares hasn't made it to the sex stage of their relationship, and Pinks is more than a bit naive when it comes to that bit. How far ahead of First Steps is this planned for?

And yes, Steel makes a stunning Rares, and is rather mature and cultured in his approach to ships. I don't know why it doesn't have more either. Unless it's the fact that the Mailbox Compilations scared them off of it. I mean yes, it turned out to be a good fic (well the parts I read at least), but it comes across as daunting, and more than a bit confusing at a glance. And having to follow that fic, before starting First Steps.

Still. All in all. First Steps is an amazing fic.

She’d thrust her head into the pile and just let it—

This chapter feels out of place. In their dance date, They tango'd, slow danced, and dance-danced. And from the convo, it sounds as if it takes place before Rares made a mare out of Pinks. Was this planned to be a flashback chapter?

7189722 It was going to cover a lot of time, some of it before they got together. I haven't read what I've written there in quite some time, but I do believe that chapter was going to be before the events of The Mailbox.
