Curse these bronies and their making songs that get stuck in my head.
Anyway, news time because I'm overdue for an update. So I haven't been very active on the writing side because this month is the last month of school. I've had AP exams and finals to be studying for, and now I'm almost done. This Wednesday is the last day of school in fact. But the rest of Wednesday I'm spending with friends, Thursday I'm spending with my girlfriend, and Friday I'm spending with family. So right here, right now, I Pinkie promise that I will finish writing the next chapter of This Can't Be Happening on this next Saturday. I may not upload it that day, because I'll want to get some editing advice first, but I WILL finish writing the rough draft of it then. As of right now it's half way done and will be the longest chapter yet. And with school about to end, the story will be much quicker in updating.
But I can't just be a 2 story kind of guy. In recent weeks I've been brainstorming some ideas for future fics I can put on here. My ideas have covered pretty much all genres you can think of:
For comedy I obviously have the A Pimp Named Spikeback sequel lined up. I can 100% guarantee that this sequel WILL happen, so I hope everyone who enjoyed A Pimp Named Spikeback also enjoys this one and it's continuation of Spike pimping and referencing more Boondocks stuff. I also thought of a potential troll fic that's just been a silly idea in the back of my head that I'm now becoming more and more tempted to write. It won't be a crappy kind of troll fic with non stop bad grammar and spelling mistakes or over the top use of racial slurs, but just a silly little story of stupidity. Right now I'd say I'm about 65% likely to go through with writing it.
Another genre I've been thinking about is pretty much the opposite genre: Horror. I've just recently got the idea for what could possibly be a cool psychological thriller type of horror fic. I think the idea could be pretty solid, and with my good friend Cupcore also preparing to write his own Horror fic(Haven't checked him out yet? Do it filly!), I am seriously considering making this one of my immediate project to work on alongside A Pimp Named Spikeback 2 once This Can't Be Happening comes to an end. I don't want to give many details away about it yet, but I can say that Twilight will be the main character in it if it happens.
I'm also tempted to try my hand at shipping. I'm not sure what people thought of the little bits of Big Mac/Cheerilee I did in A Pimp Named Spikeback, but I am curious to see how I'd do if I tried a full fledged ship fic, complete with D'AAAAW inducing diabetes. As far as who I'd ship, I have come to enjoy many fics involving FlutterDash(especially from the Silent Ponyville/Too Shy for a Rainbow series), so I'm tempted to make that my ship I write about if I do. But then again that ship has been wrote about A LOT. Perhaps I'll try something more unheard of. Either way, a ship fic is for sure on my mind for a potential thing to write about.
I've even been thinking about an adventure story involving a nice and short epic story starring Derpy. I for sure want to make some sort of story involving her as the main character. She is my favorite pony after all.
So as you can see, my head is swimming with ideas. The only genre I can see myself for sure NEVER trying to write is clop. It's just not my thing, and even if I tried it would probably be pretty bad and unappealing to those who actually do like clop. But anyway, I'm hoping to provide plenty of entertaining stories over the coming summer, and I hope you all continue to enjoy my works.
TL;DR
Just curious, but are you saying that you don't like clop at all-- or is it that you just can't write it that well 'cuz you're not really "wired that way" so to speak?
As for your other plans... maybe consider doing something incredibly silly? Like insane-silly!![:pinkiegasp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiegasp.png)

126467 Oh believe me, the potential troll fic in my mind is silly to the max![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
And no, I've actually seen many stories that involve clop that I greatly enjoyed. The Scootaloo Diaries comes to mind as I just finished it last night. I am, however, not attracted by clop, which is why if I tried writing it, I'd probably do pretty crappy. That's what I meant by saying it's not my thing, I'm find with clop in general.
126466 You make Fluttershy cry![:fluttercry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttercry.png)

WHAT? NO! I DON'T WANNA SEE WITTLE FLUTTERSHY CRY!![:fluttercry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttercry.png)
Sweet! This is some good news!
It's good to hear that you're planning an MLP horror story. I wanna pre-read it when you have it ready! (Can you tell I really love horror stories?)
Hmmm...
You know, as someone that really doesn't do horror, trying to write a horror fic was both somewhat fun and also really challenging. I have to be honest and say that it might have been more work than fun, and I probably wouldn't do it again. Bad thing is... the story is now incomplete, but it's gotten less and less dark / dramatic and more fluffy chapter by chapter.
Just mentioning that to say-- if you do something and find it's not what you thought, don't feel bad!
It's not like authors have to write everything.
Ultimately, you have to write to please yourself first.
P.S. The fic I just mentioned, my half-hearted foray into horror, is this if mine. You can even read the chapter titles and see how my natural impulse for non-dark things swayed me!
I'd read a shipfic. One that isn't mane six/mane six and especially not Flutterdash though. Try your hand at Sparity, you know you want to.
126539 Hmm,you know it's funny. Sparity was one of the ships I had on my mind of potential ships to write about, and with you mentioning that, I'm already thinking of a solid storyline I could do for it. Perhaps I will try my hand at it.
126489 Glad to hear you're interested. I've been thinking about the concept I have for the story for a bit and with your advice on the pre-reading, I think it could be a pretty solid
Wait...so...are you saying the reason you've had so much time to write is due to reasons OTHER than being institutionalized?![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
126661 Pretty much. Although being locked up keeps me away from my shed, it does little to stop me from my writing![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
Ah, that's good. Oh, by the way...
While you've been gone things have gotten...interesting...
