Story Ideas · 4:37pm Sep 27th, 2013
So, I have a ton of story ideas that I'm wanting to write. Of course, Dawn Shield, Children of Chaos, and the Into the Black Saga comes first, but afterward... Well, I'm going to leave that to you. Read these descriptions and tell me which you would like to read first.
//////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The Life and Struggles of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor
Tags: Sad, AU, dark.
A prequel to Chaotic Harmony, though you don't need to have read that to enjoy this.
After losing their parents to a dragon attack, Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor face the world together. From abusive orphanages, to living in the gutter, to finding a family they never thought they would, these two siblings stood together.
Characters: Twilight, Shining Armor, Celestia
**************** ************* *************
The First of Her Kind
Adventure, comedy, possible romance
Water Lily is almost a normal pony. She has four hooves, two eyes, two ears, a mouth, a mane and tail. She studies under her teacher, Ivy, and tries to be a productive member of society. But there is one thing about Lily that makes her stand out from the rest. Something that the others tease and shun her for. Something no other pony has... a horn.
Follow Water Lily, as she seeks to find her place in the world and soon discovers that, sometimes, being different can be magical.
Characters: OC
**************** ************* *************
A Mare's Best Friend
Adventure, Comedy
Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie have saved Equestria on several different occasions. Be it a mad alicorn, a spirit of chaos, or ancient warlords, the Bearers of Harmony are there to stop them... But what happens when they, and Spike, are foalnapped by a mad monkey king? The fate of the Elements of Harmony lie in the paws, claws, and talons of seven unlikely heroes. Together, this unlikely band of warriors will find their ponies and prove why a pony's pets are called a mare's best friend.
Characters: Winona, Opal, Tank, Angel, Gummy, Owlicious, Peewee
**************** ************* *************
Star Bright
Adventure, comedy
The one thousandth Summer Sun Celebration was only months away. Centuries ago Celestia made a plan. She would train a unicorn in magic so she could wield the Elements of Harmony and cleanse Luna of Nightmare Moon forever. Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan. Three years ago her student, Twilight Sparkle, was killed testing a spell. With no other candidates and the inevitable day approaching fast, Celestia has all but given up hope.
Meanwhile a familiar lavender unicorn mare with a star burst cutie mark, and with no memory of who she is or where she came from is found unconscious outside a cottage near the town of Ponyville.
Characters: Mane 6, Twilight, Celestia, OC
**************** ************* *************
In the Shadow of Another
Adventure, comedy, human, possible romance
The first human in Equestria has it made. Loved by all, dating to two of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy, saves Equestria on a daily basis with his magic sword forged by the gods, and even has a holiday in his honor. Eeyup. Life for the first human in Equestria is peachy.
Unfortunately, I'm the second human in Equestria. My name is Sam, and I have a mop.
Characters: Mane 6, OC
I really dislike Human in Equestria stories,
So write that one off.
A Mare's Best Friend, The First of Her Kind, and In the Shadow of Another (Alt Title idea: Silver Medal Man)
These all have my vote.
Whichever you wish to write would be good by me, but these have all grabbed my attention.
AMBF seems like it would be an entertaining, Bond+Indiana Jones+Catwoman type of story, with hilarity and seriousness in equal measure.
TFoHK sounds like an excellent origins story that bridges the gap between the original MLP lines (which were just ponies) and the current generation.
ItSoA (or SMM) is a delightful idea for a truly new take on the HIE Gary Stu genre. Remaking the old into the new, just like Steampunk! It'll be entertaining to see him just try to get along, be a good person, and maybe even fall in love (but she likes Stu better, even if he doesn't return the feelings at all)
Possibly sad, maybe even dark ("That's it, I'm done being a good little citizen. I'm going to take down Stu once and for all, whether I'm hated for it or not!) and definitely entertaining, especially from you, Shiro.
I began to follow you because of Chaotic Harmony so I would like to see the prequel and the story about the second human in Equestria look interesting.
1379247 Really? That's pretty much my specialty. All my stories are HiE so far.
I'm liking the sound of "A mare's Best Friend"
1.the first of her kind
2.a mares best friend
3. star bright
4. in the shadow of another
5.the life and struggles of princess twilight sparkle and prince shining armor
I would like to say they all sound very interesting but this is my list of most liked to slightly less liked
1379266 Tough titty! NOW CHOOSE
!!! If you want too, that is 
In the Shadow of Another sounds funny. I vote for that one!
The First of Her Kind, it sounds the most interesting to me
1379255 If you could only chose one, which would it be?
Shadow of another. all i can see from this is sam beating something to death with the mop whilst making a cheesy yet appropriate one liner
1379299
hm, er, agh... Any? Any of the three I can see going well from you.
1379320 QUIT AVOIDING THE QUESTION!!!!!1!!!
1379329
Uhm, uhm... ah....
THE PRESSURE IS TOO GREAT! AAAAAAUGH!!! *jumps out of window*
...
...
...
Not a brilliant plan... owchies...
1379337 Yeah... that doesn't work very well when you're on the first floor...
ALL OF THEM!!!
Honestly, I cant decide. Each just sounds great.
However if I could prioritise one then it would be "A mares best friend" because I think it fits with "Into the black", at least I remember Twilight mentioning a monkey king there.
1379346 Actually, that is exactly it. It's the story of King Bongo, and takes place in the same universe as ItB
1379342
Owww...
Alright, alright, I guess, uhm... oh, they're all so good. I guess First of Her Kind? My second-place vote is for Silver Medal Man (what you call In the Shadow of Another, which seems slightly angsty) which is a fitting bit of irony.
I like Shadow of Another because with your HiE stories that mop is probably a weapon of ultimate power and let's face it you don't want to piss off the guy with the mop. He's seen some shit and is not afraid of messing you up.
1379374 But if you read my other stories, you know that whatever you expect is likely very, very wrong.
1379350 HAH, I knew it!
1379445 True. But if I expect to be wrong and then go with a guess that is so outlandish that it should not be taken seriously is the answer still 42.
... ... I think my train of thought jumped the tracks somewhere in the middle of that sentence.
1379272
...Star Bright then.
And I found an error~
I would read all of them so rank by intrest:
1: In the Shadow of Another
2: The Life and Struggles of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor
3: The First of Her Kind
4: Star Bright
5: A Mare's Best Friend
The Life and Struggles of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor
Theres just so much comedy to go around, while good dark fics where the purpose is to overcome ( with the light at the end of the tunnel ) are hard to come by... Its also the area i believe you will have the hardest to write and thus best way for you to develop as an author
"My name is sam, and I have a mop." I coudltn stop laughing for awhile, but my vote goes to Star Bright so many possibilities you have there and its interesting
I do like last one, sound like it'd be a funny advanture.
1379797 I think I do dark pretty good. Besides, it won't be all dark.
about that last one, do you also have a fez?
I would like to see "star bright" I was looking towards it for long time allready.
Star Bright looks like it has potential, as does In the Shadow of Another. I vote for these two. Star bright slightly more though.
Last time you had a poll like this, I voted for Star Bright.. and I'm voting for it again.
Out of all of them, I think Star Bright is the one I like most.
All of the others can take a dump in the back yard.
The Life and Struggles of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor: Cept this one, it came in at a close second.
Star Bright or In the Shadow of Another
A Mare's Best Friend
Gonna toss my vote for Shadow of Another.
In the Shadow of Another
Star Bright and/or In the Shadow of Another
I would say The First of Her Kind, followed by In the Shadow of Another in second.
Mare's best Friend and In the Shadow of Another get my vote
Star Bright
Go for Mare's Best Friend.
I wanna see their pets wielding the EOH, kicking ass and bantering with each other.
The Life and Struggles of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Shining Armor
'In the shadow of another'
Candy vs Slim in Of Mice and Men
Viscera cleanup detail ponified, I would like to read it if that is the intended direction, otherwise, none.
In the Shadow of Another
In The Shadow Of Another or Mare's Best Friend.
The First of Her Kind
Nothing I would love to read more than the trials of the very 1st unicorn.
Star Bright by a mile
Star Bright!
I vote for either star bright of the first of her kind both of them intrigue me.
