Fic Giveaway · 3:10am Dec 22nd, 2023
Alright all! We did it! Blooming Days has finally reached 201 likes or rather, 200. Thank all of you who've read/liked/commented/viewed/shelved my main story.
Every single one of you improves my day when I log on and see an update. Sincerely, thank you all so much. Here's to 200 more!
So now I would like to give something small back to those who have given so much to me. A free one-shot fiction of your choice. The way this will work is I will randomly select 1 comment posted on THIS blog post. The user who's comment is selected is "the winner" and will get to provide me with all the details for a fic they'd like me to write for them.
The details given can vary from simple:
One character.
One plot point.
To complex:
Multiple characters.
Multiple plot points.
I'm thinking depending on how interesting the concept is to me I'll write anywhere from 1.5k-7.5k words, though this isn't a promise. The more interested in a story I am, the easier it is to write, so that will change the length.
I might leave something important out of this post, so if someone tries to game the system or put me in a corner this is the main rule:
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY FICTION OR IDEA GIVEN FOR THIS CONTEST.
I've a pretty open mind for most things, but there are some that I won't entertain. Here's a short list of more specific rules.
1. I won't write porn. I will write suggestive stuff, but outright smut is a no from me.
2. I won't write "controversial" stories. This is a pretty vague term so I'll say it this way. If the story is something I don't feel comfortable writing, I won't.
3. I won't write anything I feel disrespects any MLP characters. Let's try to keep it within reason.
4. If you'd like a crossover and I'm not familiar with the other property I'll let you know. If you still want it written, I'll do my best.
5. I won't include any profanity. I feel it's unnecessary.
6. I'd suggest keeping it G4, but I'd be open to trying G5. I'm not too familiar with the newest series, but I love Izzy and I think Sunny and Pipp are pretty decent characters as well.
And I think that's mostly it. Like I said, I might've forgotten something important so if I did, I have the main rule to cover my flank.
And if this flops and nobody comments, then like I said I'll just write something to celebrate myself. But hopefully! Fingers crossed y'know?
Well, here's to hoping. Good luck all! I think I'll let this post run for a little while and do the writing of the fic in January.
Love you all and thanks again for all the support. Life can be pretty bleak, but knowing some people are interested in something creative I've done really helps me push forward.
Congrats on 200 likes! I'm torn between suggesting a fic idea that I want to see or just writing it myself lol. (Totally not using you as a springboard to cure my writers block...
)

Thank you! Well even then, meeting in the middle, collaborating might be a fun idea!
Chrysalis and Luna short shipfic.

Hmmm!š¤
5760226
That's dirty... but also intriguing! Ideas are already running through my head tbh.
Sunny dad met a certain retired alicorn(celestia) on one of his research trips and they wind up getting together or having a one night stand so celestia is her mom but couldnāt raise her sunny was born an alicorn but had her abilities sealed for her safety the seals still mostly intact hence the form only acts as a power up and on a trip to check on her she isnāt to happy to see Opaline has captured her wonder what sheād do to opaline then
Even if you decide not to write this can I have your opinion on the idea
5760240
If hammered out and elaborated on, I actually think this could be a very interesting concept.
5760241
Thanks there is also the option of her being descended from celestia who checks on her descendants every so often I picked celestia because rainbow Mane =rainbow streaks in mane
Also if you canāt write it do you know any one who would I can come up with story ideas but I canāt write them myself I can only write poetry myself
5760242
I'll tell you what, let this giveaway run its course and perhaps even if you don't get the win I can maybe help you out after.
5760245
Thank you
Your definitely better than a former author on this site called neko-sama said heād do a request then 4years later he stops using the site the request still not done itās one thing if you donāt want to or canāt do a request itās another if you except then never do it before leaving the site

No problem. Barring any catastrophes, (debilitating sickness or death for example) I'll get in touch after the giveaway.
One-shot Idea: See what the rest of the mane six in Blooming Days are doing, how there lives have been changed because of what's changed.
or maybe some banter/arguments with Tirek, Cosy, and Chrysalis while they're trapped in stone(from the end of season 9)
We need a Celestia + Luna returning to Canterlot trip
Keep up the great work Printz, and lets keep blooming days going strong. And for my suggestion here what it would be. Let me cook =) So, background Twilight and Rainbow Dash are lovers. But one day dash dies to whatever. So Twilight in her grief would build multiple robot versions of Rainbow using technology and black magic to take rainbows orginal consciousness and put it in the robot. But not every robot was a success Destroying and creating multiple robot dashes to create the perfect one that was identical to the orginal. Evetually Twilight would create the perfect robot and she would keep robot dash in her house. But the perfect robot was to perfect, robot dash would eventually start to question things and would find out what she is and confont Twilight. The climax would be a fight between Robot dash and Twilight where, rainbow dash would get the upper hand escaping twilights house now being free a free "mare". Fun fact: this idea came to mind after i Listened to an "i cant fix you" remix so you can guess what i would want the story to be named. Something smiliar to that. But other than that keep it up. And have a great Christmas.

Both great ideas for fics. The first is very interesting for world building and the second would be challenging because I haven't written Cozy or Tirek in a story yet.
5760254
I'm always down for more Tia and Lulu.
5760258
Will do! Let's continue this journey together! That concept reminds me of a plot I saw in a TV show a whole lotta years ago. I'd love to write it. Very sad is tough for me, but I'd love to give that a shot. Merry Christmas!
I am glad of your growth here and if I am selected I would love to write down my own suggestion here.
the mane six are curropted by the spirit of Nightmare Moon and they are the rulers of Equestria and talk about their conquest and how the kingdom thrives under their rule. Also that they have new names to match Twilight is known as Midnight, Rainbow Dash is now Spectrum Prism, Rarity is known as Vanity, Applejack is Rotten Core, Pinkie Pie is After Party and Fluttershy is Silent Cry... and what happened to the other princesses? Well that is up to your imagination.

I really like concepts like that. I haven't written my own yet (obviously), but it's very interesting. Thank you!
Sunset and Twilight going shopping for a kite gift for Starlights birthday?
5760440
That's actually a really sweet idea. I like it a lot!
Wow, those are all great ideas. I would happily read any of them.
But in the interest of keeping in the spirit of things, hereās my story idea. Iād love to read a one shot of Glimmer *before* she started āOur Townā. Back right after she embraced her brokenness and decided to only use other ponies not befriend them. Then follow her as she decides to āmakeā her first āpuppetā, stalking them and learning about them.
Then maybe end as she introduces herself to them happily.
Very Silence of the Lambs vibe there. ā¦Iām Sorry, Clarice. I have to go. Iām having an acquaintance over for dinnerā¦
Write a sequel to 'Pumpkin Talk'.

This is such a good plot I may just do it regardless of it winning lol. Thank you for posting!
5760465
Absolute madlad lol. That's big brain strategy.
A Sisters story that details the two recovering their relationship after Luna come back and Luna regaining trust in her sister .It would start two days after Lunaās returns.
Plot points Id want
-Luna is afraid of Celestia/ afraid she will be sent to moon for any mistake
- Castle staff abuse Luna (misplace her meals,dirty laundry etc petty but hurtful things) in misplaced attempts to get back at the nightmare
-Celestia unaware (at first)of abuse
-Luna attempts suicide
-Must have Happy ending
The sisters are my favorite and I love any story about them and Merry Christmas!
5760479
Another exceptionally great concept. I got sad reading it. I love the sisters and this sounds devastating but uplifting. I may look into writing this one regardless as well. Thank you for entering! Merry Christmas!
I don't know if you know anything about the following franchises but I would be interested to see if you can create a one shot story.
MLP EG x Date A Live: The MLP girls begin to develop powers that even they don't understand, (Spirit powers). And someone shows them the chaos they will cause by losing their humanity, and to avoid that Shidou is summoned from the future to save the girls.
MLP EG x FGO: The girls, having powers beyond what is humanly possible, are turned into Pseudo-Servants.
Another story for One shot that would call my attention is a fanfic of MLP EG x Fate/kaleid liner PRISMAāILLYA: Where a sigularity is created in Canterlot where the letters arrive and something similar to the spirits happens but; now Illya has to save the protagonists who become Dark servants with the help of Spike.
And this the last one I can think of for one shot: An alternate universe of EG, Celestia from the past arrives to the future but she was in a time where she was Gotica or being Daybreaker.

I am actually familiar with the Fate series as well as Date A Live. These are a little bit difficult for just one shots, but I'd be willing to give one a try. Thanks for entering!
Pharynx accompanies his brother to Ponyville for a meeting, while Thorax has to work around his brother's obsession with stuffing ponies into sacks. At some point, Pharynx bites off more than he can chew when stuffing a particular pony...

An interesting concept! Good luck and thanks for entering!
While looking out the window, Twilight sees Trixie trying to set her crystal castle in fire.
With newspapers.
