"You Think You Know Me..."

Greetings fellow bronies of the world. If you’re new to this allow me to explain, I have a ton of ideas for MLP fanfictions, but I can’t do them for various reasons. So what I do is that I post them on these blog entries so that authors will be interested into doing them OR they send the ideas to other authors they know who they feel might be interested in making them.

To see the first two sets of ideas, click here and here.

Let’s gets started again show we?

1. Surprises No More (adopted by Princess Glitzy)

Idea Summary: “Everypony knows that Pinkie Pie loves to throw the biggest surprises. Be it birthday parties or pranks, she’ll give you such a shock you’ll have a heart attack. But what if that happens? What if one surprise ends up not only sending one pony into cardiac arrest, but to their grave as well? Will Pinkie Pie be able to move on from such a tragedy, will she ever escape her guilt? Will there be no more surprises?”

-Inspired by the “Whatever happened to June Bug” comic, on the idea of one of Pinkie’s surprises, unintentionally, killed someone. Heart attacks can happen at any time and being shocked is no different from such a feeling. But the biggest focus would be on Pinkie Pie, who feels that she’s done all but murder, despite it being labeled and accident. This leads her to resolve to not only throw surprises, but never laugh, play pranks, throw parties and more; she becomes no longer Pinkie Pie.

-Obviously most would say it was an accident and try to help Pinkie out of it, but how do you help a pony who’s convinced she deserved jail time or even death for her actions? How this ends is up to the writer but I can only see it ending in two ways. 1. Pinkie Pie eventually forgives herself and goes back to being who she is, but a bit more careful in how she does it or 2. Pinkie Pie, unable to deal with the guilt, kills herself.

2. The Adventures of Dreamy Midnight (You can come up with a better name) (Adopted by Starnight)

Idea Summary: “The Elements of Harmony decided to take more than just Luna’s dark side; they took all her alicorn powers as well. Forced to deal with the reality of being a mortal unicorn for the rest of her life, Luna must now adopt a new name and a new purpose in a new world she can barely understand. Thankfully, her sister’s apprentice and her friends will be there for her in their new adventures.”

-This comes from the idea of what if Luna lost her alicorn powers when the EoH hit her. She can’t move the moon, is mortal now, can’t fly, and is no bigger than Twilight Sparkle. Because of this, Luna persuades Celestia to tell the world that both Nightmare Moon and Luna perished in the battle, saying that she will redeem herself as a new pony. However, she has no idea how the modern world works not to mention she has a blank flank. Thus Celestia suggests that Luna lives with Twilight in Ponyville and the story continues with Luna there as an additional Mane Cast member.

-Some ways this can be MLP but with a bit of “Progress” in it as the Mane Cast teach Luna about the modern world and she adjusts to it. While Luna there as an additional cast member may change a lot of stories and how it’s done, she should also have her own adventures focused on her and her interactions with other ponies. Since she’s a blank flank does that mean she joins the CMC? What is her special talent? What if she interacts with Lyra and Bon Bon? Or Derpy? Does she fall in love and if so with who? Questions like these will help the writer develop the story.

3. My Daughter Dinky (Adopted by Autum Breeze)

Idea Summary: Prince Blueblood’s perfect life is suddenly put on hold when it’s revealed he has a daughter from a one night stand he had long ago. Her name? Dinky Hooves. Although he wants nothing to do with them, his aunt forces his hoof when she reveals it will go public unless he becomes a good father. Blueblood must spend time and interact with Dinky and Derpy, but how can such a snob be a good father? Maybe a little love is all that’s needed in the end?

-I’m really surprised nobody else ever thought about doing this. In this story, Blueblood and Derpy had a one night stand (How and why is up to the writer) which resulted in Dinky being born. Derpy, knowing this would ruin Blueblood, decided to do the kind thing and keep the father a secret until it’s revealed by whatever way the writer wants.

-The relationship between Blueblood and Dinky is an obvious one; former doesn’t want to interact with the latter who wants her daddy to love her. It will come rough at first, but eventually the two bond and Blueblood slowly develops into a better pony and becoms a good father that surprises everypony, including himself. He might also start falling in love with Derpy should the writer want to. However as things between the family get closer and more heartwarming, Blueblood’s noble status starts to wane and he’ll have to decide what’s more important: His family or his noble title.

4. We Are Wonderbolts (Adopted by Henki Pie )

Idea Summary: “On her first day with the Wonderbolts, a tragic mission has gone wrong leaving all the Wonderbolts dead except for Rainbow Dash. Now she is tasked with the impossible mission of forming a new Wonderbolt team. Can Dash form a new team for Equestria or is the last flight of the Wonderbolts?”

-Inspired by the aftermath 1970 plane crash that killed 37 football players on the Marshall University football team; this is a story about triumph, hope, and rising from the lowest of places to the highest of heroes. Rainbow Dash, the only Wonderbolt alive, has to reform the team. Why? Because not only are the Wonderbolts part of the military, but they are also seen as a sign of hope for Equestria, including pegasi. Not only does she have to convince a bunch of pegasi to join the team, but she also has to train them to work together and pull off the stunts that the previous Bolts trained their whole lives for. The sudden responsibility for Dash also effects hers her greatly as she not only as to deal with pain of being an only survivor, but all the fallout and tough times that comes with being a leader just after her first day.

-This is a story that has to have good OC’s so I hope the writer can do that should they adopt this fic.

5. “The Thousand Year Coma” (adopted by InsanityCorps)

Idea: Summary: “Equestria declares war on the Kingdoms of Man, seeking to stop their technological ways and heresy about their princess. However, on the first battle, Twilight Sparkle is knocked unconscious. Upon waking up, she is shocked to not only learn that Equestria lost the war, but it’s been a thousand years since. Instead of a horrible world, however, she finds everything to peaceful with both races working side by side in unity. How will Twilight adjust to a world where all her friends and loved ones are gone, but also the fact that her people are allies and friends to an enemy she was facing just yesterday?”

-The premise is that mankind is discovered by Equestria out in the far seas as a steam punk society that pollutes and hurts nature, while also powering their machines with the mana of the world, which hurts the overall use of magic. Not only that, but they declare the Princesses as frauds, saying that the moon and sun are not controlled by magic. Because of this, Equestria and Mankind go to war, but on the first battle, Twilight is put into a coma she doesn’t wake up from.

-Equestria lost the war and it was learned that the Princesses can’t indeed control the sun and moon, why they did such a thing is up to the writer as well as their fate. Equestria becomes territory for mankind and how their history develops is up to the writer, but in the end they must become friends.

-Twilight learns this history and the fate of her friends and families through Spike and Cadence, the only ones still alive from such a time. She has to not only come to terms with the new world, the fact that her friends are dead, but also the fact that her mentor lied to her about everything.

6. “Only Five Can Leave” (adopted by Princess Glitzy)

Idea Summary: “The mane six wake up in a cold, isolated room with a single hammer. A voice tells them they can’t leave until they kill one of their own. The girls refuse, but they are left with no food, no beds, no toilet, no way to contact outside, and no magic is working either. As time goes on the girls begin to feel the isolation getting to them and worry about one of them trying to kill each other despite some attempts to keep them calm. But it soon becomes clear that there is only one way out. The question is who gets left behind and by whose hoof?”

-This is based on the Criminal Minds episode North Mammon, I suggest you watch it. Who the killer is, who leaves, how they decent into madness, and who dies is up to the writer. I suggest you must be good as suspense to do this.

7. “The Very Real and Legitimate Death of Lyra Heartstrings” (adopted by RainbowBob)

Idea Summary: “Only two things that are certain in life: Death and Taxes. Upon hearing this, Lyra thinks of a clever way to stop paying Taxes all together, she declares herself dead. However, this soon comes to bite her back in the flank as not only do ponies in Ponyville think she really is dead, but the IRS is checking to make sure as well. As it turns out, faking your death to avoid taxes is a crime. Lyra now has to not keep herself “dead”, but also convince Bon-Bon to help her.”

-I’m a fan of death humor, the concept of using death for humorous purposes and directions. How the writer goes with this is up to them, only just make it really funny. It also doesn't have to be Lyra, nor does it have to be for taxes. It can be any character faking their death for whatever reason.

That’s all I got for now, if you want more details on them, please PM me.

If you would be so kind, how much of Derpyball is ready?

"Haven't started on the last chapter yet

Now I'm not knocking on any of the ideas, but the "We are Wonderbolts" one sounds, at least in the sense of solving the problem, similar to a new-ish story where all the Wonderbolts resigned and left Dash as the captain. She was tasked to making a new team. That being said, I'd still love to see your idea made into a story. I also really like that "Only Five can Leave" idea. Someone could end up writing 6 or 7 chapters for that, in each one a different character dies. I hope someone uses these things.

1457066 Take as much time as you need to write. You can't really rush greatness. I look forward to reading it.:twilightsmile:

The Wonder Years, is what you're thinking of. I was just thinking the same.

About the rest of this... the Blueblood one actually sounds mildly interesting.

nothing i can work with. some ... 'interesting' ideas though. if done right they could definitely grab attention.

But i have a question:
I made a short romance story because i didn't have the inspiration to make a full length one. Can some one make a longer story on here based off someone else's short story without getting the mods mad? Id love to see the idea blossom, but i just don't know romance. It would be like asking a baker to build an engine

SHL

Ok, I will go one by one:
1º Surprises No More: Uuuuf, tough one for Pinkie. It's a plot with potential but, for Celestia's sake, don't kill Pinkie Pie at the end.
2. The Adventures of Dreamy Midnight: I liked this one. I see that could happen a loto of curious things. Maybe even Discord, in his first appearence, recognize Dreamy's real identity.
3. My Daughter Dinky: Curious. Interesting. Go for it.
4. We Are Wonderbolts: Aaaaauch, death of the Wonderbolts. Well, could be very interesting to see Rainbow Dash with that big responsability and who picks as new members of the Wonderbolts.
5. “The Thousand Year Coma”: Not a fan of the humans.
6. “Only Five Can Leave”: "Criminal Minds" comes to Equestria... Danger. I saw that chapter. Maybe somepony could find them before the tragic decision.
7. “The Very Real and Legitimate Death of Lyra Heartstrings”: Sound fun. Really fun.

If I will go to choose one, probably I will pick "The Adventures of Dreamy Midnight". But I have already two projects (one with limited time) and with my language problem is more difficult :fluttershysad:

Number 6 is called "The Cough", and I utterly hated that story with a passion. Of course, I shall never watch Saw either. I find the "kill or be killed for an unknown outcome's bidding" genre to be far too uncouth for my tastes.

The one with Lyra faking her death sounds utterly hilarious though!

I would like to write all of these, but only some of them would fit right for me. Those would be number one and six. I already have ideas for number six. After a while Pinkie Pie volunteers herself. They tell her that they'll find a way out, though none of them believe it, so that she'll change her mind. She says that she's dedicated her life to making others happy. She just wants ponies to smile, and if they're alive, then they will smile, and she would have done her job. The best gift she could ever give is the gift of life. Twilight says that she'll make it quick and painless, and Pinkie dies with a smile in Twilight's hooves. The story starts with Twilight about to hang herself and reflects on what happened. In the end she smiles and says that she'll see Pinkie again soon. I'm not sure what I would do for number one, but I have some ideas. Pinkie Pie throws a huge party for Fluttershy. The ponies get closer, singing Happy Birthday, with a cake in their hooves. The amount of ponies, the candles and the singing puts Fluttershy over the edge. Pinkie Pie shouts "Happy birthday!" and Fluttershy falls to the ground, unconscious. This scene would be suspenseful, she'll feel her heart beating faster. The beginning will be from Fluttershy's perspective. Next chapter, Pinkie Pie rushes her to the hospital, saying something like "It's gonna be okay. You'll wake up tomorrow and we'll do whatever you want. You can't leave me, Fluttershy." She'll die while they're bringing her through the halls of the hospital. I'm not sure where to go from there exactly, but in the end Pinkie Pie will kill herself. I would like to write these two stories.

For that first one, "No More Surprises", I remember reading this really good Powerpuff Girls fic where Blossom has a robber cornered in an alleyway, and in a panic he shoots her in the eye. Of course it doesn't kill her, but it still hurts like a bitch. In a fit of pain-fueled rage, she punches the burglar so hard she accidentally kills him. Terribly guilty, Blossom immediately turns herself in she forces herself to spend some time in jail.

It was a really good fic, and it ends when Blossom meets up with a blind old man and they have a long chat that, in summary, ends on a religious note about God forgiving your mistakes as long as you forgive yourself. It was a very well-written, and I think that Pinkie story is a novel idea.

Sure, send them over and when I get around to the next one I'll include them.

How do you decide who gets what stories? Is it first come, first serve or do you read author's work and decide who best fits each one? I'm just asking because I'm interested in two stories, as said in my previous comment.

It's first come first serve
