Do you guys want to know what I'm up to? Okay then. · 4:09am Jun 4th, 2013
I'm going to list a bunch of incomplete stories with more than a thousand words written. I will finish all of them eventually, but just for now, here's what's clogging up my folder.
1 - Dreams for Two
Twilight Sparkle is a genius. To deny that is like claiming the moon is a golf ball that Princess Luna favored so much that she immortalized it in the sky. But there is a secret to her lack of ignorance.
She doesn't sleep. Or at least... She doesn't.
So the gist of it is, every time Twilight sleeps, she wakes up in a fellow scholar's body somewhere in the world. She can see, hear, taste, feel, and smell everything she does. And vice-versa. So her pool of knowledge never stops growing.
2 - nO HOpE foR NONe
One body, one brain, one soul. Simple right? But to an unfortunate pony, she had to live with three other beings inside of her mind. They cannot control her. But for the love of Celestia- THEY! WON'T! SHUT! UP!
So there are three beings, a banished god of creation, a wine bottler, and a rabbit who once had cancer, all stuck in her head. They do stuff. That's pretty much it.
3 - Charon's Cello
A vacation is supposed to be relaxing... right? There isn't supposed to be a castle in the middle of nowhere... right? I'm not supposed to be in here... right?
My name is Octavia, and I think I'm losing my mind.
So you take Slenderman and combine it with Amnesia, starring Octavia. That's pretty much it.
4 - The Leviathan of the Sea
My name... well, it doesn't matter now, does it? Hell, I'm not even a human! But let's start at the beginning shall we?
Now, the world is bigger than you can imagine... Have you ever played Bioshock Infinite? If you have, then the ending is pretty much what I've been jumping from. A plea for help was the first thing I heard. Of course, being the [sarcasm]gallant white knight that I am[/sarcasm] I ran to her rescue. Little did I know, I would be gone for years, helping a civilization that has sunk under the seas.
A species many thought to have gone extinct after the Chaos War.
Friggin sea ponies.
So I was inspired by the Chess Game of the Gods stories, and I decided to write (Or at least start.) my own. Note the keyword Inspired. It's not an official or a non-canon story, just a human who jumps into the world due to the influence of a goddess.
Ever seen Atlantis - The Lost Empire? Remember that giant lobster thing they encounter right after the sub launch? Yeah, he turns into something like that thing that can change size... And one of his claws is from the pistol shrimp... That he can use while being mountain-sized... Yeah that'll be fun.
5 - Chariot of the Empire
When a massive mothership big enough that it can be seen behind the sun and screeches to a halt from hyperspace, you could automatically assume that your planet is screwed.
But when a small spacecraft descends, you would expect a diplomatic mission, an unknown creature with a peace treaty, or a raging conqueror demanding surrender.
But the last thing you would expect is the coffin of a friend, gone missing over two thousand years ago, and her long time friend who's mission has now been completed.
You know those "Twilight messes up teleportation and ends up in an alien universe" stories? Yeah, it's like those, except Twilight never made it back in her lifetime. Over two thousand years had passed since the accident, and Celestia still feels depressed.
So one day a ship (UGS OBLIVION) appears from hyperspace and the sole crew member of the craft descends down onto the ground with Twilight's coffin. After a quiet funeral, the alien tells her of her student's adventures and his promise to bring her back, no matter how long it takes.
6 - Walker
Don't ask for my name. I either have no name or I have too many to remember. With no need to eat, or sleep, or rest, I do what I have always done. Pick a direction, and proceed until I find a reason to go somewhere else.
I don't even know what I am. What am I? Without identity, I am just a ghost.
I have seen much. From wars that devastated entire countries to awe-inspiring landscapes, from a violent death to the birth of a newborn. Over time, I have been ingrained in myth. The great minds all speculate on my mission, entire villages worship me, all eyes are on me when I pass through a town.
Actually, I lied. I do have a single name I find fitting.
My name, is Walker.
It's one of those creation stories where an observer sees the world change before their eyes. He is immortal, he is revered as a chronicler of the world, but he never speaks. Inspired by Equestria from Dust.
7 - Panzer Ponies
Tiger (H) is a very sad tank. Mediocre armor, a low-damage gun, and somewhat prone to fires, he is sick of the endless noobs who think he is an unstoppable killing machine from all of those History Channel episodes of World War II and then blame the tank for not owning everything.
He needs a vacation from the World of Tanks.
Preferably somewhere without a cap circle and spawn locations. Maybe a city not ravaged by war. But when an insane light tank decides to "help" Tiger, he ends up in a world much unlike his own, in a body he is also unfamiliar with.
He has no idea why he is here, nor does he know a way to return.
Oh well. At least he doesn't have to worry about gas.
It's ponified tanks starring Tiger (H). I actually haven't gone too far into this story.
8 - Don't Even Know You
The name tag on my uniform is burnt off. That's all I'm willing to remember.
I do know I killed people though. I've fired the first shots of a fierce gunfight. I kicked the bee's hive more times than I can count. I don't even know if I feel guilty. Can I still feel?
Where is my life? I don't remember it. Maybe I shouldn't...
I'm a ghost in a country I've never heard of. Seen beings I thought could only exist in fiction. I see them. Living happily. A life that I wanted to.
I'm jealous. I won't deny that. But there's a being right in front of me is a being who is offering to make it all better. All I have to do is cause chaos in a country I've never heard of. And little by little, it sounds like a plan. Because hey! It's what I do right?
...Right?
A solider in Equestria has been given a choice by Discord. Either live in a world without the lower half of his body, or bring a country down in chaos. Once the job is complete, he will regain his legs, and no one will remember anything.
Alrighty, you guys have seen most of it. The total amount of stories I have planned is somewhere around 25-30ish. Yeah, a lot. Maybe I'l have a story adoption sometime. Ah well.
Four more days til I graduate! Make sure to bring the booze!
2# sounds fucking hilarious, do it.
4# is just WAT?
5# I'm getting the feels and I'm not even reading the story...
6# Sounds like it could be good.
7# Please, please, please, for the love of god research before you go talking shit about the "Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E"... It was only called the "Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H" until it actually reached the front lines. I don't know what tank you're thinking of, but its not the "Tiger". Its 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 was devastating against armor and its 120mm frontal armor was nigh impossible to penetrate! Its weakness? It drank fuel like a drunk goes through beer, its heaviness makes it prone to getting stuck and having transmission issues, oh and did I mention that the allies filled them full of 30mm cannon from the air?
huzzah, the fun has been octopuled

The Tiger had his balls chopped off in World of Tanks. The story is a crossover, and in that game, I can tell you with a complete straight face, the Tiger is mediocre at best.
Has nothing to do with real life.
1124139 Alrighty then, I've never played the game... This fact, does nothing to make me want to play it either. (Let me guess, they made the M4 Sherman god mode?)
Well, as long as it is made clear that this story is about WoT and not real-life, then I might read it...?
1124421
Oh my god... For right now, it is.
Just so you get the idea, the tanks are split up by tier, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. The M4 is tier 5 and the Tiger is tier 7. If they went up against each other, the Tiger would win hands down, but instead, it has to go against tanks of similar tier.
Let's just say, due to a gameplay change we had a few months ago, the M4 with the 105 gun with HEAT ammunition can one-shot lower tiers and severely damage higher tiers. They're nerfing it in the next patch though.
1124428 Huh, it was my understanding that very few Shermans were built with the 105, because it was 'too-much gun' for the Chassis? I would hope that they nerf that though, just for historical accuracy!
1124482
World of Tanks is filled with all sorts of tanks, everything from mass produced tanks to the tanks that never got past the blueprints. Same goes for the upgrades. If it was planned to go on a tank, it can go on a tank in the game. In this game, historical accuracy kind of takes a back seat to balance... or so they say...
They're not nerfing the 105, they're nerfing the HEAT projectiles because they're too good compared the the standard HE shells.
It's actually really fun. The grinds aren't too fun, but what grind is?
