The Ever-Growing Project List · 6:39am Sep 7th, 2013
I'm just listing off every story I have sitting in my projects folder at the moment, or at least the ones I have some interest in actually finishing. I do this in the hopes it will encourage me to actually work on them a bit more consistently. I doubt this will be effective.
Causality - What happens when time travel drives Twilight insane again, possibly twice. Adventure/Dark.
The Continuing Adventures Of Lyra Heartstrings - The one that's Biplane's fault. Adventure/Comedy. (Going to have to rewrite a bunch of the later plot in this one. There was going to be some Daring Do stuff, but S4 established her adventures as real.)
Equestrian Sky - What happens when I watch October Sky and, for some reason, think of Snips & Snails. Comedy/Slice of Life.
Five Paths - Five-part saga where I explore all fifteen possible Mane Six ships, using three pairs in each part. I was going to call it Combinatorics, but Ringcaat beat me to that. Part 1: Coronation is RariLight, FlutterPie, and AppleDash. Part 2: Hearth's Warming is TwiDash, Flarity, and ApplePie. Others have their pairs sorted, but no overall plots.
Getting Attention - Humanized ponies, because the gag works better that way. What happens when Trixie tries to use a potion to make herself more appealing. Unfortunately for her, the universe hates Trixie. Comedy, Human, Random.
Getting Results - What happens when I think too hard about Twilight ships, and inflict my wife's misfortunes on the character she most resembles. Comedy/Random.
Help Wanted - What happens when Trixie needs a job, and Twilight Sparkle needs somepony to watch the library when she's too busy with her new princess duties. Because making Spike keep an eye on Trixie is funny. Comedy/Slice of Life. (Another one needing some rewriting because of the S4 Daring Do stuff. Those parts are where it would cross over with Continuing Adventures.)
Keep Smiling - Because everyone does an "immortal princess Twilight angsts about losing her friends" story and I feel like adding a Twilight/Pinkie ship to mine. Romance/Sad.
Masquerade - What happens when Discord uses Nightmare Night as an excuse to screw around with the princesses. Adventure, maybe.
The Music of the Night - Batponies, politics, and The Phantom of the Opera. We also learn that Blueblood is a pretty decent chap, if you ignore the "elitist narcissistic bully" part.
Night Eternal - An Alternate Universe where Celestia's battle with Nightmare Moon ended differently and Pinkie might actually be even less sane. Adventure.
Night Watch - A primarily OC-based story about Luna's personal troubleshooters. Adventure/Dark.
Overlooked - What happens when I think too much about the episode "Too Many Pinkie Pies". Comedy/Slice of Life.
Passing The Time - What happens when Twilight and Celestia get stuck in a time bubble for a week. Comedy/Slice of Life.
Pinkie & Dash's Excellent Adventure - What happens when two characters with poor impulse control and no grasp of consequences abuse time travel logic. Adventure/Comedy.
The Princes' Bogus Journey - What happens when unfortunate things befall Shining Armor and Blueblood, because for some reason I think that's funny. Adventure/Comedy.
Pushing The Boundary - What happens when Twilight gets too wrapped up in researching new magic that she has no business using to begin with. Dark.
Scales & Hooves - What happens when Spike asks the worst person possible for a very poorly-worded favor. Slice of Life, likely with a Romance spinoff.
Van Pinkie - A new pony comes to town, but Pinkie Pie suspects he isn't what he seems. With Spike to assist her, they aim to uncover his true nature and oh Celestia this can't possibly end well. In the works for the EQD Batpony competition, not sure if I can finish it on time. Comedy/Slice of Life.
I absolutely love all of these ideas!
I'm especially interested in Equestria Sky and The Princes' Bogus Journey. They both sound awesome!
Oh, and Lyra, of course! Go Lyra go!
