I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

    Dropping in to try and find some art

    So my hard drive bricked back in the fall, and I finally replaced my computer with the stimulus money. But I don't really have a good way to try and recover the stuff that was on there, so that sucks.

    But, I was hoping for some help in finding one particular bit of pony art that I haven't been able to dig up again since then.

    a brief summary of my life the past few months

    June 17: I wreck my car.
    July 5: My cousin I grew up with dies after an extended illness.
    July 26: Neighbors threaten to sue us over payment for repairs they did on a shared driveway, wind up paying them over $1,000.
    August 15: Dropped my phone and busted the screen.

    Welp, that's just... everything fucked, I guess

    So back around June 20, I wrecked my car.

    Then back on August 28, the tires on my wife's car got torn up hitting something on the road, and we wound up needing all new tires.

    I don't think my cat likes my work

    So it's been a struggle to write anything, for various reasons, but I *was* trying to get back onto Legacy Ch 4 not long ago.

    Then today I was sitting at the table and started hearing faint tearing noises from behind me. I turned around and discovered that somehow my rough draft had wound up on the floor and the cat had done this:

    Random Encounter

    This was a fun moment. Choppy cause I had to remove a bunch of game speech commands and the usual bit of racist shit-talking.

    Also this was before I found out Scribbler did another reading of my stuff. I would have probably said that instead of RCL.

The Ideas List, Version 2 · 6:09am Jan 3rd, 2014

The Random Ideas
» Flim, Flam, and Trixie do O Brother, Where Art Thou?

» Luna enters human dreams for some personal entertainment. Human/pony second-person clop.

» A mysterious force takes ponies away, stealing even the memory of their presence.

» All of the princesses are unavailable, so Equestria dusts off its Parliament and proceeds to muck everything up.

» The Olden Pony is an actual ancient evil threat, not just a filly's nightmare. It bargains dreams away for power.

» (Inspired by RealityCheck) Pinkie Pie is given the task of reforming Discord instead of Fluttershy. It ends poorly.

» A death in the family is processed by the labyrinth bureaucracy that ensures Equestria is a smoothly-operating utopia. Dark comedy.

» Derpy dies on the job. Somehow, nopony remembers to inform Dinky. The worried filly gets dropped into Rainbow Dash's lap.

» Mulia passes away, leaving Cranky alone for the holidays. Pinkie Pie wants to help, somehow.

» Twilight and Pinkie do Freaky Friday.

» Mac and Cheerilee consider giving their relationship another go, but are hesitant because they fear possible lingering effects of the Love Poison.

» "There's Something About Derpy" - No idea beyond probably being romanticlop.

» Instead of challenging her, Trixie just uses the Alicorn Amulet to make Twilight her slave. Clopfic.

» RariJack clop where Rarity is forced to dirty her hooves for once. Turns out AJ likes her in such a state.

» Brick from Borderlands winds up in Equestria. He hangs out with the Mane Six because they're "just the prettiest" (it should be noted, he responds to every pony that way), does dumb things with Rainbow Dash, and out-shouts Luna.

» A unicorn's specialty is an Invisibility spell. Unfortunately, as it represents her specialty magic, her cutie mark is invisible and everypony thinks she's a blank flank.

» Dusk Shine tries to recreate the spell on the magic mirror but gets the wrong universe. Instead of Canterlot High, he lands in some brony's living room. As he stays there to work on a spell for the return, they grow close, and then it's human/pony gay romanticlop. Think of it like My Little Dashie, but with dudes banging.


Songfic series
A songfic series on hold until I decide they aren't awful.

The Offspring: Have You Ever - Rarity assures herself that she doesn't regret abandoning Spike and her friends in pursuit of her career.

The Offspring: Feelings - Trixie struggles to let go of her anger at Twilight.

The Offspring: Issues - RainbowPie where Rainbow is gettign tired of Pinkie's antics.

The Offspring: Fix You - Gilda wants to get back with Dash. Dash is still kinda pissed at her, though.

Sopor Aeturnus and the Ensemble of Shadows: Dead Souls - Vinyl is turned into a vampire. She is incapable of angsting about it properly. Also, I actually don't like this song, but I hang onto it for the same reason I have any Sopor Aeturnus song - they're kind of hilarious in their pretentiousness.


Stories Solidly on the Back Burner
"Confessions of a Soul-Eating Monster" - Cadance and Shining Armor's spell had strange effects on a handful of changelings, and they've found themselves separated from the hive. This is the story of one such changeling as he tries to fit into life in Ponyville. On hold until I further develop the plot, and is in the "Night Watch" verse.

"The Continuing Adventures of Lyra Heartstrings" - Lyra discovers various things to obsess over and has ridiculous adventures. Also she keeps taking Twilight's stuff. On hold until I come up with a new final plot, because Season 4 ruined my old one. Part of the "Night Watch" verse.

"Equestrian Sky" - Snips and Snails try to build a rocket. Inspired by October Sky, and on hold until I decide to sit down and re-watch the film.

"Getting Results" - Twilight is pregnant and she has no idea who the father is. There's a logical explanation - logical to Twilight, anyway. Oh hold until I work out the rest of the plot.

"Help Wanted" - Twilight hires Trixie to help Spike with the library while she does princess things. On hold until I come up with a new final plot, as it was intended to intersect with "The Continuing Adventures" as a major part of the "Night Watch" verse.

"Keep Smiling - Twilight angsts about immortality and then it turns into a TwiPie ship. On hold until I feel I can write it to some degree of decency.

"Masquerade" - Discord uses Nightmare Night as an opportunity to screw with the princesses. On hold until I settle some internal debates about my characterization of Celestia and Luna.

"Night Eternal" - An alternate universe where Nightmare Moon defeated Celestia and drastic steps were taken. On hold until I come up with an actual plot.

"Night Watch" - A bunch of OCs are Luna's personal troubleshooters. Connects to Adventures/Confessions/Help Wanted. On hold until I decide whether or not I really want to write an all-OC story.

"The Rather Less Incredible Flutterhulk" – Fluttershy is hit with a massive dose of gamma magic (which Twilight repeatedly notes is not a thing), and now whenever she gets angry or upset, she turns into a huge, powerful, uselessly passive and timid monster. On hold until it actually interests me.

"Passing the Time" - Twilight and Celestia get stuck in a time bubble. On hold until I think of something more to do with it.

"Pinkie & Dash's Excellent Adventure" - The titular characters get a time machine. Hijinks ensue. Oh hold until I come up with an actual plot.

"The Princes' Bogus Journey" - Blueblood and Shining Armor find the time machine from the previous fic. Hijinks ensue. On hold for similar reasons.

"Pushing The Boundary" - Twilight researches forbidden magics. Darkfic with some interface screw. Yes, you can do that with the written word. House of Leaves is proof of this. On hold for further development.

Twilight Sparkle Eats a Peach: the Series (on hiatus)
"Twilight Sparkle Eats a Peach, Part V: Twilight Eats a Peach, Hopefully" - (The Alternate Universe chapter.) In a world where Nightmare Moon didn't give Twilight time to monologue and just went ahead and defeated the Mane Six, Twilight escapes captivity and discovers something entirely unexpected.

"Part VI: Twilight Rides a Peach, Gigantically" - (The Adventure chapter.) Twilight and the Cutie Mark Crusaders fly a giant peach across the land. This is probably the Crusaders' fault.

"Part VII: Twilight Eats a Peach, Fatally" - (The Tragedy chapter.) The assassination of Princess Twilight Sparkle by a troll author with a meme.

"Part VIII: Twilight Finds a Peach, Inexplicably" - (The Crossover chapter.) A peach randomly appears in Twilight's room. Bored, she traces its magical signature back to its origin, and meets David Bowie wearing pants completely inappropriate for a children's program.

"Part IX: Twilight Eats a Peach, Anthropomorphically" - (The Anthro chapter.) Peaches mysteriously appear all over town, and somehow compel ponies to eat them. Those who do find themselves undergoing a transformation, and are further driven to engage in other acts.

"Part X: Twilight Notices a Peach, Constantly" - (The Comedy chapter.) Twilight is surrounded by peaches. She doesn’t know why. Maybe it’s normal and she’s only just now noticing them. Maybe it’s a sinister plot. Maybe she should go back to bed.

"Part XI: Twilight Eats a Peach, Uneventfully" - (The Human chapter.) Twilight Sparkle eats some peaches at lunch with Fluttershy and Pinkie. They wonder if maybe something was supposed to happen, but they're just girls in high school so nothing much does. They’re unsure as to whether this is better than the time she was a magical pony princess or not.

"Part XII: Twilight Verbs a Peach, Anthology" - (The Random chapter.) A barrage of small scenes in the spirit of "AMV Hell" or "Ponies Anthology", wherein this whole "peach" business is finally put to rest.
