Various Items -- Advertising, Unusued Story Ideas, Watch Me Write

The Collab Cage

A place for all things collaboration!  Want to join one (or twenty)?  Want to run one yourself?  Want to just talk about them?  This here's the place for you!

We've got more, too--look for the mini-collabs the group will run on a monthly basis as well as fun little thread games!

Unused Story Ideas...Feel free to write them, but let me know if you do!

--Rarity's room is her private palace; nopony ever steps foot in it but her.  So when, say, Twilight enters and sees a picture of Applejack on the bedside table... She begins to wonder what lies within Rarity's heart.  The story idea here is that each Mane 6 stumbles into Rarity's room, sees a picture of a different Mane 6, assumes Rarity has feelings for them, and then proceeds to try and set the two up.  All five of the others do this for all five of the others.  Comedy, so much Comedy...and secret Romance, if you like.

--A story based upon eviltomby's idea that Fluttershy loses her voice, so it is up to Pinkie Pie to communicate for her.  Hilarity ensues.

--After Rainbow Dash makes it into the Wonderbolts, she has increasingly less time for an increasingly embittered Scootaloo--who goes on to found the Shadowbolts to compete for best fliers in all Equestria.  I don't really know if I'll do it or not, it's a solid idea but... Idea by Dan.

--Secretly, Fancy Pants had always lusted after Rarity, but knew he could never have her.  When he learns she has a younger, far more vulnerable and impressionable sister, however... (Dark, may God forgive my mind for thinking it)

--One of the CMC (I'm thinking Apple Bloom would be serious times, Sweetie mildly serious times, and Scoots meh times) is diagnosed with a terminal illness--she won't live to see her cutie mark.

For REAL downer times, one of the other two gets hers as the dying one is nearly gone. (Sad maybe, but most likely Tragedy)

--A series of ponyknappings run rampant in Appaloosa--it's up to Braeburn to venture the desert in search of the missing kids. (Adventure)

--Oh no!  A neighboring enemy has abducted the Mane 6 and it's up to Celestia and Luna to save them--only issue?  They must stay in hiding at all time or risk instant exposure--so no flying and no extreme magic. (Adventure)

--The Great Equestrian Stand-Up Open Mic Night!

All the Mane 6 (and anypony, really...each pony could be a different one-shot!) participate!

Twilight tells nothing but science jokes!

Rarity tells fashion and related jokes!

RD tells nothing but (bad) puns!

AJ tells mudhoof (read: redneck) jokes!

Pinkie Pie is...well, Pinkie Pie!

Fluttershy would, ironically enough (and to the extreme annoyance of Pinkie), tell the best jokes. (Slice of Life/Comedy/Random (maybe))

--Obviously Rarity is Ponyville's resident matchmaker--if it wasn't for her top notch fashion skills, she may very well have gone into business setting up pony couples.  But alas, shall she never find her own partner out there in the world?

Imagine it sort of like a series of one shots bound together by an overhanging plot that steps in every now and then--each one shot is her helping a new couple (or one pony trying to start something with another, etc.), with the occasional (failed) try for herself. (Romance)

--Pinkie Pie becomes the fourth wall.  Now, anytime a pony makes a joke only a human would get, it slowly kills her as they are 'breaking the fourth wall.' (Dark and Random)

--After rewatching the MMMystery on the Friendship Express episode, I noticed something.

Recall when Rarity gave Joe that compliment about him looking good in a tux?  Do you remember his face right after that?

I suggest the seeds of infatuation were planted!  Have him show up on her doorstep, in a tux, asking if she'd like to go to dinner.  She's appalled (he's a regular Joe, after all), but says yes out of kindness--the date goes beyond fantastic and she starts to fall for him.

Play out the rest as you see fit. (Romance)




Really Bored? Watch Me Write!

(subject to availability, aka whenever I'm working on Gdocs rather than OpenOffice.  But feel free, tell me who you be, chat me up, watch me write, help me hash out the story, whatever!  I doubt it'll happen often, but it'd be cool.  I'll put the link here whenever I'm available.)

Greetings!  I've chosen to go by the moniker of Peregrine Caged amongst this here fine community of authors and pony fans.  I'm a dude, a fellow, a guy, a gent...and twenty-three years old numerically, but an old man, really!

I'm an Administrator for the Author Support group, here on FiMFiction.  Generally speaking, I'm the PR guy--you have a question or concern, hit me up, and I'll help as best as I can.  But please forgive us right now as we're going through a pretty massive bit of restructuring.

Even more important to me, personally, is my status as founder of the Collab Cage group, also here.  It's my hope that this group can work as a central area for all things collaboration in regards to pony fanfiction.  Check it out, make some friends, create wonderful works of art with said friends!

I don't have much time for it anymore, but I'm an on and off again editor, and rather good at it.  As well, I've little time for it, but I'll read nearly anything--I love a good story, no matter what it's about.  I'm supportive of new writers, since that's how the medium grows and evolves.  So I'm willing to help you out if you're having any problems.  What kind of problems?  Well, anything really!  I'm good with a lot of things beyond just writing, y'know.

A bit more about me?  Why not!

I've long harbored dreams of writing, at least on the side.  But sadly, I've lacked motivation.  I think I've some talent at this and potential, just gotta do it!  Because of my love of it, the Fantasy genre is where I'd probably stick.  But I feel I'm kinda at a crossroads where I need some external feedback, be it positive or no.

So that's a large part of why I'm here--please, tell me what you think!  Be honest, be open, be harsh if necessary.  Just tell me SOMEthing--that's how I can get better (or stop making crap, if that's the way that goes, hahaha)!

The other big part is...I bloody love this community, this universe.  I'm a fan of many different properties scattered over books, games, movies, comics, TV, whatever...but MLP: FiM has been the first where I've kinda felt the call to take the next step and get involved in the community itself.  A community that is pretty much awesome, filled with many amazing and talented musicians, artists, writers, and more.

So I'm going to try my hand at Pony Fiction--I've got some nifty ideas, and I'm determined to keep at it.  Hopefully, I can make something to give back to this community and maybe even take my own place, no matter how small it may be.  Bear with me, if you will, I'll try and make it worth it, heh.

My Deviant page (please feel free to visit and give me some feedback...I kinda REALLY need it!)

Not really, no.  Personally I think it's more interesting if people try developing OCs, but this 'verse is a bit different in that regards as any canon character will have aged a good deal.  Kind of its own challenge in that regards.

Any suggestions for a character you'd like to see in the game? I was considering Trixie, but that'd be a bit cliche and show-stealing, or one of the Flimflams, but they'd be too similar to Chively for my liking.

If you later add a second character (or if, say, you drop and/or replace a character), just edit your spot in the reference thread.  That keeps it clean and simple.

Hey, here's another inane question from that one obnoxious jerk!

If I want to take the role of a canon character, do I post again, or just edit my other post once I've been accepted?

The Heistverse

** Fool's Gold -- The first tale of the primary Heistverse storyline, the gang (and Spike, too!) do the unthinkable and rob a bank. Full of action, violence, and edge-of-your-seat tension, all while staying in character. Humanized and taking place in its own Alternate Universe. ** ** Diamond in the Rough -- The second tale of the primary Heistverse storyline, this time the girls must split up--one side will take the fight in another daring robbery, while the rest must play nice with their enemy, Blueblood, in search of political information. World building, relationship developing, and characterization abound, expanding upon the ground broken in Fool's Gold. But don't fret, there's still plenty of action. ** ** Big Red -- The first side story, breaking away from Diamond in the Rough to follow our favorite big man Apple, Macintosh, as well as focusing on Llewellyin Shields--Twila's big brother--and his fight to protect princess Luna from pirates and worse.

My Fiction Writing and Planning Schedule

Welcome to my new fan fiction work schedule!  Keep in mind that several of the items on this list are in flux, pure potential until I actually get to working on them.  You’re welcome to talk to or ask me any questions regarding these fiction ideas!  For those of you interested in my own work, I hope this little list is handy!

Key --

(+) Means this is an active project that I’m working on writing, right now; this will also cover any ongoing multi-chapter fics.

(=) Means this is a readied project.  These will be the fics I’ll get to next, once any or all of my current active projects are over with.  This also covers any fics that I’ve started but have put on hold for various reasons.

(-) Means this is a passive project.  I’m working on it, but still in the planning stages.

(x) Means this is a potential project.  I’ll get to it eventually, but precisely when I’m not sure.

(WT) Working Title

(PT) Placeholder Title

+ The Album ... Massive collab of one shots, all tied to a central theme.  Short and simple SoL moments in the lives of an individual character.  (List Available for Participants)

= Satellite ... A short one shot Romance, request by Cid Gaius.  Luna is a pony out of time, having been left behind by one thousand years of technological and cultural progress.  But, perhaps, to get herself reacquainted, all she really needs is a little bit of kindness.  (1/2 Written)

- Star Swirl the Peach-Fuzzed (WT) ...

x Filly Twilight and Smarty Pants Adventures (PT) ... Series of Comedic, Adventurous one shots.  When Twilight was a little filly, she had a very large imagination, bolstered by the books she read.  With her best friend, the mare Smarty Pants, she goes on a myriad of adventures.  (Pre-Planning)

x Daring Do Series (PT) ... A collection of short to middling length Adventure stories.  Starring Daring Do, these might attempt to be the actual in-’verse books that RD loves.  Possibly based on the Daring Do series page on TvTropes.  (Pre-Planning)

A pony adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and My Hyde.  When a spell cast by Lyra has unforeseen side effects, she finds that she and her best friend, Bon Bon, have become one pony!  But not at the same time, oddly enough.  Will their two conflicting personalities and lifestyles lead to tragedy?

The Album

Interested in joining more collabs?  Then come to The Collab Cage!  A group that hopes to be ALL things collab for this entire fandom!

The Album is a collaborative project between over seventy different authors.  This project was designed to not only create something entirely unique and creative, but to test these authors to write in a different manner than they might normally be used to.  The exercise was to take a single character--one per author and no repeats--and imagine a mental 'snapshot' of them during daily life, during a Moment we might not normally see or even think about, and write a story from said picture.  So enjoy this collection of short Slice of Life tales--and be sure to check out each author's page and stories.  They've worked hard to produce something amazing; please reward them for their effort!

Note: Individual Snapshots are posted in a random order (including my own), with one or two more added per day.  Character tags and Rating are subject to change, but each individual snapshot will be marked appropriately.  

There's still room for more; visit The Album and see if there's anypony remaining you would like to write.

Synopsis:

In anypony's life, there are the big days--tragedies and adventures, moments of loss and love, treasured memories to share and never forget.

But for every single day that comes once in a lifetime, there are hundreds that pass by unnoticed.  Sometimes the simplest of moments can have just as much importance and life as the dramatic ones.

Here one can find snapshots of these moments--the every day, often unseen or even unregarded days of the lives of a variety of ponies.

Because every picture, no matter how common, is worth a thousand words.

Ink

Though Spike is often the most dependable of assistants, he can have his off days.  His accidents.

On the day he spills ink all over Owlowicious, Twilight will discover something that will change all of their lives forever.

Now with its own Audio Reading by konfics, here!

Part one of the Pony's Best Friend series.

Part two: In progress.

Part three: Planning.

Part four: Planning.

Part five: Planning.

Part six: Planning.

This started out as my response to the One Word Prompts thread on the Collab Cage.  The response is just supposed to be 100-500 words, but it just kept going.  So here is.  Thanks to Therizzen for the word, which was Ink.

Preread by KartalTheWriter, Lapison, Therizzen, and TypewriterError.

Manehattan Chronicles: Breaking Ground and Building Blocks

The city of Manehattan is home to an endless number of stories--some good, some bad; some long and some short; some filled with joy and others the unfortunate victims of tragedy.  This is what some call Life, but others a joke.

The day by day activities of the players that inhabit this city of opportunity are just as varied.  Anypony can have a good day that makes them or a bad day that breaks them.

These are the excerpts of just a few who--by their choice or by Fate--are forced to live and survive in Equestria's shining, ebon jewel.

Grey Tiercel cover by Spaced.

This will be a series of supplementary tales in regards to the Author Support group RP entitled the Manehattan Chronicles.  Mostly they will be about my own characters' backgrounds, but I suspect I may write other short one shots to help build the universe.  It's a lot of fun, I suggest you check us out!  And feel free to join in!

Crayons and Catastrophes

It's a normal sort of day when Blue Collar returns home to see his adopted daughter Topsy Turvy entertaining herself with her crayons and incredibly creative drawings.  He's had a long day at work and kicks back to watch a little TV, where a troubling report is playing on the news.  What's a father to do when the whole world seems destined to bring unbridled chaos into an impressionable young mind?

I'm unsure if this is canon or not, in regards to my fanonverse.  We'll say tentatively yes, until I decide on if I want to do anything with Screwball.  I love the idea of her--and absolutely adore 'Daddy Discord', I'm just not sure if she has a place in my own 'verse yet, heh.

Spoilers

Just a simple little piece, I got bit by a desire to write a very short Slice of Life and nothing else.  Dumbfounded on what to write about, I asked and between Bronymaster and Sunnydaze I was given two words: Screwball and tornadoes.  Well, what the heck am I to do with that?  But gave it about twenty minutes and bam, idea.  And here you go.  

Super short, but I hope you got a decent kick out of it, heh.  Sometimes you just gotta write something short and silly.

Also, credit on the title (which I suck at) goes to Merc the Jerk.  It was bloody perfect.  I'm almost sad to use it on something so quick and done.  ...perhaps there's a series of shorts here?  This must be investigated.

Cover art belongs to cactusheart--whom I wanted to ask directly for permission, but sadly did not get a reply in time.  So I may well remove it eventually...I really don't like using it without talking to the artist, but...I want a cover.  So...yes.

Al Niente

It's been exciting times for Vinyl Scratch--the hit new DJ making big waves in the music industry.  And she tells anypony who asks she owes it to one wonderful mare: none other than the lovely Octavia Overture.

The public is no stranger to the talents of Miss Octavia--especially amongst the upper crust--and yet her name has been silent amongst the musical circles lately.

Though happy for her love's roaring success, Octavia sits at home alone, with her cello lying untouched for months.  And tonight, Vinyl is later than usual in getting home--no doubt due to her success at becoming her own musician.

Tonight, Octavia is going to open the special cabinet.

Tonight?  It may be a dream come true for Vinyl, lost in the beat and bass, but...for Octavia?...There is only the sound of silence.

Cover by the wonderful: Ori-Jami

This story is (most likely) canon in regards to the Peregrine Fanonverse.

My first go at a VinylTavia story.  I had originally thought to do a much bigger story--origin tale, development of the friendship and relationship, try and get my own take on the characters and their personalities...but inspiration struck, and here we are.

I'll still write the big story and I'm almost certain this will be canon in regards to it.  So, this is a snapshot--events have transpired before this and will transpire afterwards.  Please do keep that in mind.

I wanted this to have a much sadder ending, even though I kind of hated myself for it, heh.  But lo and behold I wrote a not-so-bad one after all.  Ugh.  Curse my inner idealism and desire for happy (or at least hopeful) endings.  Curse you subconscious, I say!

Direct Your Attention to the Link, Please -- I'm Still Plugging Away · 2:41am

First off, I want to direct you to this story, After a Fashion.

Why?  Well, DarkPhoenix--collaber, Cage-member, friend (and guy who apparently knows freaking EVERYone important in this fandom EVER)--took up one of my ideas on my page that I couldn't write myself.  Now this is just the first chapter, but after talking to him on how we both kind of imagine the story to go, it should be a good ride.  I'll be editing the piece (along with Sasha Nein, another awesome Cage-member and friend) and possibly talking with Dark as it goes along.  Just because I didn't think I could write it doesn't mean I didn't have some ideas, after all.

But still, it's his baby now.  I wish him the best--and in doing so, you all should go give him your support.  That'll be a great story--made all the greater if DP gets the watches and faves to continue to egg him on and give him confidence.

As for me.  I'm working...slowly, but it's there.  *sighs*  I don't know what's up.  It's not that it doesn't interest me anymore.  It's not a block.  No it's just...I think the atmosphere of this damn house.  It just wears a fairly empathic soul down so easily.  Bah.  I just need to break through--just gotta find my crack, slip on through, and run with it.  Like I did last year.  Man, that was great.

So, here's hoping I'll be picking up here soon!  I really have soooo much more I want to do, and I'm wasting so much time.  I hate that.

Patience, I don't deserve it, but I ask for it all the same.

Thanks friends, readers, writers, bronies.  Till the next.  And seriously, go check out DarkPhoenix.  There's real promise there.
