What's coming up · 8:23pm May 24th, 2012

As I write this, I sit in my hotel room in Amarillo, TX, tapping away on my phone. I'll still be here until the end of the week, taking home some memories to never forget.

That aside, I would like to inform those who want to hear it about what I have lined up in the field of fics.

I've had quite some time to think here, about both upcoming fics I already intended to write, and new fics after that.

In total, you can expect 4 fics from me in the future. Whether that is the near or distant future, I cannot say, but I'm inclined to say the distant one.

Before I lay things out, I should warn you that there will be (plot revealing) spoilers up ahead. But given the time before the actual fic is released, it's quite possible you may have forgotten about these when they're done. Anyway...

First up is a fic where 5 out of the Mane 6 have passed on. The remaining one (don't know who yet, and plan to keep it a mystery until near the end) remenisces at their graves, one by one, flashbacks detailing how they came to their end. Then when all is said and done, the final mare joins her friends in the afterlife, where they will all be waiting at the crossroads, giving it a bittersweet ending. Counting on many manly tears also *winkwinknudgenudge*

After that will be a horror story, involving zombies. I love zombies. Night of the Living Dead, The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Left 4 Dead, Dead Island... If it has to do with zombies, I'm interested. In this particular fic I have in mind, I plan to have a background pony fall deathly ill after a series of events (thinking of Lyra for this one. Sorry, Lyra fans!), and once she comes back from the dead, infection rapidly spreads across Equestria. What I haven't worked out yet, however, is what's going to happen, who the survivors are going to be, and how they handle the situation. Will they survive and run off to faraway lands to start a new life, will they all perish, I don't know. This ones bears some thinking, and those willing can provide suggestions. I'm all ears.

Third, a psychological one. One of the Mane 6 (don't know who exactly yet, but leaning towards Fluttershy, since I already came up with an OC befitting her for this story) gets a colt/boyfriend, which only exists in her head.

Fourth involves Santa. And not the Santa as you know him. Don't worry, it's nothing dark. In fact, I don't have a clue what I'm going for with this one. I just figured one day, the ponies celebrate Christmas (Hearts Warming Eve), but do they also have a folklore character associated to his holiday? This one bears a LOT of thinking.

So there you have it. All the fics I have in mind thus far. They will probably take FOREEEEEVER to make (I've been registered here since January and haven't made anything of note, except for my stuff at Fanfiction.net), so I have no idea when to expect any of these. But rest assured, I will do my best in order to create them.

It's funny. I generally dislike drama, yet a lot of stuff I've made or am going to make has gotten drama written all over it. No pun intended.

NICE! Can't wait! :pinkiehappy:

132935 You're going to. And lots of it. :applecry::pinkiesad2::fluttercry::raritydespair::unsuresweetie:
But thanks nonetheless :twistnerd:

Don't want to sound like a total jerk and stuff, but your first idea has already been done before and almost the same exact way you said it would. :applejackunsure:

I just wanted to warn you just in case you get people calling you a copier. :unsuresweetie:

134406 Thanks for the heads-up. I got the idea of making that fic after reading The Magic Never Fades Away by Thyrai. I have already contacted him, told him his fic inspired me to make a similar one, and received his thumbs-up. I'll even credit him for it.

I appreciate your concern, though! I'll drop in an author's note as well stating that any similarities with other fics are purely coincidental (because they are :) ). Well... maybe a few nabs here and there... :scootangel:

Could you perhaps give a few examples of fics with the same idea? Just to stay on the safe side, so I don't unknowingly copy someone else's work.

I Might Have Been for one. I immediately remembered this fic the moment you said the description.

135205 Oh yeah, I remember reading that one. 't was good :twilightsheepish:

Just to reassure you, mine will have no (missed opportunity of) F/F shipping in it, only M/F where applicable. Nevertheless, will try my best to not inadvertently copy anything from it. Thanks again for your concern :pinkiehappy:

Sounds good! I hope things come out the way you hope! :pinkiehappy:
