Delightful art that I coerced convinced the talented and guud bruu NekoJackun to draw.
Nah. I don't think it's ever going away~
Yay

It's been one of those months.
Whelp, since I don't seem to be stopping anytime soon...
What kind of short poni-fic ideas would you marsupials like to see this lemur potentially tackle for the rest of October? Any ideas that you're not already juggling, feel free to launch them at each other's foreheads, and mine too if you wish.
Oh Nietzsche I'm so confused...

There are tons of romance fics with Twilight Sparkle, and they always treat Spike like an afterthought, or an obstacle if it's TwilightX Rarity. What about a fic where some character is courting Twilight, but they have to put effort into getting to know Spike better/getting along with him?
Pinkie Pie ships with an iPhone6. The Big one.
Eh, why not? Here's one I've had on the backburner forever.
Pinkie Pie and Twilight are inadvertently coerced into spying on each other, where it's crucial neither one gets caught by the other.
I've always entertained the idea that Lyra's cutie mark was actually an indication that she was a good liar. I never really got any plot for that idea, but i find it interesting none the less.
Ridiculous fic idea that I'm pretty sure hasn't been done before: The mane 6 have to keep Pinkie hidden while there are guards and investigators marching all over ponyville investigating her stash points which have been mistaken as some form of supply drops for an incursion into equestria by an outside force.
The real question is what the sinister purpose behind the balls and eyepatches could be?
"There never was a Twilight Sparkle. She is just a
memeshared imaginary friend."Or not. Now that the idea is out, it seems too silly even for me.
Hmmm
How about a one-shot of Fluttershy having tea with Discord? I'm sure Discord can serve up tea in an interesting way somehow.
2542843
Although this idea is cool too.

Mother of Celestia....
Chrysalis wakes from her violent expulsion from Canterlot under the care of one Gilda. The two form an unlikely bond, with Gilda being attracted to how wicked cool Chrysalis looks, sounds, and even acts. Chrysalis feels love for the first time directed at the real her and can't help but respond in kind.
Also, they make creative use of Chrysalis's shape changing ability to let Gilda play out some of her darker, more revenge-sex oriented fantasies, while Chrysalis is plenty durable enough to handle anything the crazed griffon can inflict. She gets to enjoy Gilda's satisfaction, as well as goad her to lash out at the ponies she wishes to see brought low.
They grow to have a twisted sort of happiness together, with none of that lame redemption crap.
There haven't (as far as I know) been nearly enough stories about Cherry Berry. Especially this side of her:

I could see a fic that's less about Twilight, and more about Spike--done from his perspective. Some poni character keeps asking him to deliver things/messages/flowers to Twilight, claiming that they're from a secret admirer. Spike believes him/her because the dragon's young and innocent. Twilight takes his word for it because she trusts him and doesn't suspect anything. Midway through the fic, Spike has an epiphany and confronts the messenger who is--in fact--the secret admirer who's been using Spike as a go-between. Could be a fic that shows Spike growing up some in character.
2542861
This would make an easily digestible comedy fic. Maybe both ponies share the same birthday and they don't know what to give each other and they're so busy trying to stealthily find out what the other one wants that they don't do the friendly-smart thing and just ask the other pony. Lesson in friendship n'jazz.
2542869
There's a super duper crack fic in here, but I can't think of it for the life of me. Maybe when the balls are all in one spot, they summon the infernal Ballpit Horse Demon God that Pinkie and her gypsy family have been subconsciously trying to fight back for centuries (like the Belmonts versus Dracula in Castlevania)
2542871
I believe this has been done before, only Pinkie was the imaginary friend to Twilight.
I had a similar idea for a fic, only it involved Trixie and Smarty Pants.
I had an idea for yet another fic, written from the first-person perspective of Lyra's invisible human imaginary friend.
2542906
This gives me an idea for a Chrysalis-centric sad fic. Sadly, it's just an influence. It has nothing to do with Gilda. But the idea of Chrysalis being in pain/torment after the events of Canterlot Wedding has potential...
2542917
I think I know which one you are talking about (it has turned into a series, even). But my idea goes more along the path of "just a hallucination" instead of a materialization.
But yeah, If I knew how to spin it properly, I would be working on it in one way or another instead of spitting it over on other people's blogs.
The spoilered idea sounds interesting.
I recently had an idea for an AppleDash (imagine that!)
We often see fics where they go to others for dating advice, and then the date gets taken over by the one giving the advice and things go out of control as AJ or Dash try to do what they were told.
In this one, however, AJ and Dash are the ones who are going on the date on their own plan, but did happen to mention to the others where it was. Things go well, as they're just hanging out with each other at a restaurant, having a nice lunch... but they keep getting interrupted by their friends who just happen to be around, and who are doing whatever they can to improve the date.
might be dressed as a waitress, fakes not knowing them, then when she comes back with drinks or food, she leaves a note for Dash with suggestions what to do/say. When AJ goes to the bathroom, 
is there and accosts her to give advice. And so on! Was just a quick idea I had. 
A two-part tale.
Princess Celestia receives an estimate for "the repair or replacement of one-third of Manehattan." She is less than pleased.
Suri Polomare has never forgiven Coco Pommel for her betrayal. She vows to make her pay with her life. Manehattan isn't ready for this fight.
Filly Twilight messes with Celestia's filing.
Celestia holds a fighting tournament.
I dunno.
~Skeeter The Lurker
An old man lives in a suburban area. He doesn't have any friends, except the ponies in his head. They are the leftover of a once giant fandom, that is now forgotten. He the only one he knows who has all the seasons in DVD, and maybe the last existing pony toys. Now he thinks he's dying, and has to decide if he should share all of this with a kid he recently met (or a group of kids), or just let the fandom die with him.
Titled "The End of Bronies".Or turn Fluffle Puff into a creature out of a creepypasta.
"When You Say Nothing at All", a shipfic parody starring Maud Pie and Big Macintosh wherein there is little to no dialogue, but the two end up falling head over heels for each other on their fist meeting.
Based upon this Meat Loaf song
I can practically feel my Read Later bookshelf doubling in size just from reading all of these comments.
Twilight wakes up. Blinking, she realizes that she must exist, that she is alive, and that she is held by somepony else. All of her general knowledge is intact, she can walk, talk, do magic, knows all about her studies; but everything that's related to her own life, and every personal memory is lost. She doesn't know her own name, or anything about her past, history, or her friends. All that she knows is that she is in love with the pony holding her, even though she has no idea who it is.
Rainbow Dash has little hope. For the past year, Twilight has been under a curse by - well, I don't know, it's your story - that resets her memory exactly every 7(?) days, relentless, without mercy, and precise like clockwork. Even though it pains her to have to do this again every week, she loves Twilight, and being true to her element, she tells her everything about her situation, accurately and without any palliation. When the deadline is coming close, both prepare themselves for yet another reset--- but it doesn't happen. Having hope for the first time in a year, Twilight and Rainbow try to figure out how to reverse the curse and break out of the cycle, all the while driven by fear of yet another reset.
... okay, that's probably too long for a one-shot. but hey, how often do you ask for suggestions?
Well, you can use some ideas from here if you want.
I don't have a whole lot of ideas on my own, but I do have a few interesting methods for finding ideas.
So here's one of the ideas I'e had from it. Twilight is studying and she finds that her teleportation spell includes certain parts of the same spell she used to zap away the Pinkie Pie clones. Startled by this revelation, she speculates that teleportation isn't actually teleportation, but is instead cloning that kills/zaps-away the original pony. So she writes a letter to Celestia explaining her discovery and asks many questions regarding whether or not that's really how it works, what are the implications if it is, if teleportation should be temporarily made illegal until a true teleportation spell can be found, etc.
Celestia's potential knowledge of this, and response, is up to you. She can either already know, and have never told anypony on purpose, or not known and have a few decisions to make regarding it. Or the spell she uses could be totally safe but gives quite the scare to many ponies. Or if not safe, Celestia might announce that, "after study, it is considered safe", in order to allow normal life to go on, despite the apparent immorality of it. Etc. Etc. There are tons of directions to go with this.
Hey skirts, long time.
In honor of the addition of character tags for Twilight's parents, write something fun with them. Like maybe the unique challenges of raising two extremely gifted foals, with a side of happy married feels.
2542871 2542917 Yup, that sounds like the Petricycle.
Short poni fic ideas? Hrm... yeah, I got nothing right now. Sorry.
I wouldn't mind seeing a quickie LoL crossover that has Leona and Diana running into Celestia and Luna...
Hilarity or havoc would probably ensue.
I would really love to see some brotherly bonding between Shining Armor and Spike.
Or maybe something that could appeal to both myself and 2542948: AppleDash, because the idea of you writing anything else with Dash is beyond hopeless, but from the perspective of Macintosh. Sort of an unrequited love thing. Like, he's head over heels for Dash, but knows he can't have her.
Or, if you wanted to get even sadder, maybe Dash is bisexual, and Mac has an opportunity to court her. Some kind of chance happens that all he has to do is say something about his crush, and he could have her... but he knows that Applejack is hopelessly in lurve with Dash, to the point she's always depressed or something, so he sacrifices his chance at happiness to hook the two of them up. Would fit with his character of putting family first.
Skirts, your way of thinking is so entirely orthogonal to myself that I have absolutely no idea what you're going to write next.
2542948 I like where this is going. But here's my suggestion: Sort of a double-Cyrano going on - both AJ and RD ask for help, and both get one of the other ponies to act as Cyrano. AJ and RD don't end up liking each other, but the two ponies playing Cyrano end up falling in love with each other through AJ and RD's date. But, because nopony knows that it's a double-Cyrano, the pony "helping" AJ thinks she's in love with RD, and the pony "helping" RD thinks she's in love with AJ. So both Cyrano ponies try to keep the dates going, even though AJ and RD don't really like each other that way any more.
Bonus epilogue: AJ and RD go on a secret date, because they figured out the double-Cyrano, and the reason they didn't like each other is that they weren't really talking to each other in the first place.
2543137 That's an episode of The Outer Limits, and one of the Star Trek (TOS) novels. It's been done before, successfully, but not in pony form.
Spike and the CMC get sent into an enchanted Comic Book called "The Powerpuff Fillies". The crusaders become the Powerpuff fillies, and Spike... becomes a talking dog
Bonus points if he says "Not again!" or "Oh, come on!"
2543020 I'll take it. I'll take two.
I'd like to see a Human in Equestria story where Twilight bursts into Celestia's breakfast hall, where the human, Celestia, and Luna, (plus a few guards standing near by) are eating breakfast. Twilight storms in and demands the human explain the rumor that he's been eating a few of the guards to fulfill his protein needs.
He replies "Who I mate with isn't your concern."
O...okay.
"WHAT!?"
Twilight stares open mouth
"Oh, you thought I was killing and eating them!? Hah well I'm glad we've got that cleared up let's never mention this ever again"
Twilight is red with embarrassment, Celestia would be too if she couldn't hide it well. Luna is watching silently with one eyebrow raised.
Just then Shining Armor walks in for breakfast.
Hey Shiny! You still up for helping me with my protein needs later?
Twilight starts to look angry
Shining Armor has a big smile on his face, "Sure thing!"
Twilight is just shocked! "SHINING!"
"You got permission from your wife right?"
"Yup! I wouldn't miss this for the world!"
Twilight is just flabbergasted! "...Shiny?"
Shining Armor looks at Twilight concerned. "What's wrong Twily?"
"I think she wants to join in, Shining."
Shining replies, "Hah, I'd love for her too, but she lacks the equipment."
The human quickly adds "yeah but she can still watch though."
Twilight's eye is twitching and Luna is trying not to choke on her breakfast.
"Well Twilight, if you wanna watch, clear your sequal because we're gonna be at it for HOURS!"
Twilight is now broken.
Later that day, the human and Shining Armor are enjoying many hours of fishing together.
Princess Twilight Sparkle's latest neurological break causes her to organize every pony in Equestria by the color of their coat.
I'm probably never going to get around for this one myself, so:
Title: Assistant Twilight Sparkle
Description: Twilight, to appologize to Spike, acts as his assistant for a day. Spike, of course, takes it too far.
Bonus points if Rarity is involved.
Ideas huh? Well let's see what I'll probably never get around to (& am willing to part with
)
1. Scootaloo is climbing some hills near ponyville on her own, slips, and gets wedged in a crevice. The point is she's stuck for several days unable to move more than her neck & head while hoping for a rescue.
2. Earth pony magic has alot more potential than anypony realizes. Applejack decides she wants to learn it. The problem? Only one family in Equestria knows it, and keeps it a closely guarded secret, allowing only one pony from each generation to learn it. The Pie family. (Applejack trying to learn Pinkie Powers)
3. (pre season 4) Trixie finds a genie and wishes Twilight and herself switched, including their pasts and everyone's memory. Everything is great... until the elements are needed.
4. a VERY old mane 6, get together after many years to save Equestria. (like the equivalent of 70-80 year olds)
5. Puck comes to Equestria (possibly an old friend of discord?)
W.A.I.F.U.S.
Twilight asks her new friend Sunset Shimmer if it's OK for her to date Sunset's ex-boyfriend, Flash Sentry. Sunset says she has no problem with that, and that she never loved him and is only attracted to ponies. It's then that Twilight realizes her own homosexuality (as in, being attracted to humans). Now she has to deal with the realization. Also, make her eat beef.
Why not.
Ron Swanson (from Parks & Rec) is somehow in Equestria, and falls in love with Fluttershy. But he has to figure out how to come clean about his hard-drinking, hunting-season, meat-eating, past.
2542948

I believe there was an episode of Deep Space Nine that's done this. It featured Worf and Jadzia Dax trying to get Quark to fall in love with a Klingon woman. Worf digged the Klingon woman and was only trying to help Quark out because he wanted the woman to be treated respectfully. Meanwhile, Dax was helping Worf because she crushed on him really hard. By the story's end, Dax and Worf got together. It was a really good interpretation, and it involved holosuite hijinx and bat'leth battles. Good shiet.
I couldn't do it, though. Not smart enough and it's been overdone, dreit? Dreit.
2542953
I must say, I really *really* like Suri. She has a wonderful look and she makes me laugh out loud for some reason. I think it's the voice acting.
2543003
I think it's been done. Filly Twilight was "Princess for a day" or something in some insanely adoracute fic with even more adorable cover art.
2543020
A fighting tournament would be fun in ANY fandom. As for poni poni poni, I had an idea for something like an anime or Scott Pilgrim ripoff. It'd be called "Vinylocalypse" and would feature outrageously kaizo fight scenes on the level of Kill la Kill.
2543061
I've always wanted to write a Big Mac / Zecora ship-fic, only haven't because it'd be so dayum hard to write. Probably for the same reason as Big Mac / Maud. Might be a better idea to have Maud and Big Mac hanging around and then write the fic from the Mane 6's perspective as all sorts of suspicious thoughts float through their heads.
2543111
Does Twilight wear a hoodie?
I'm a huge fan of amnesia storylines, but I've pretty much already done my "memory loss" fic for... like... a century. Also, I'd rather not imagine Rainbow Dash as Adam Sandler.
2543137
I've had a horror fic idea kicking around about Twilight discovering that everypony that exists is a doppelganger of the pony that they were the previous day. Nopony ever goes to sleep. Instead, when they lose consciousness, they are murdered and eaten alive by langolier-esque demons from another dimension who then shit out a cocoon that hatches into a replacement of the original. With this knowledge, she tries to warn the public, but sleep is catching up with her and she's the only one who knows that she'll be replaced and torn to shreds in the most horrible way imaginable.
As for the Pinkie angle, you kinda made me think of a different idea altogether. What if--in discovering the spell's relation to teleportation--Twilight realizes that she didn't *eliminate* all of the extra Pinkie's, but rather transported them to completely random locations all across Equestria. Now, two and a half years after the events of "Too Many Pinkies," the Mane 6 must travel LOTR style all across the world to uncover the missing Pinkies. Some of them are causing mischief, others have turned to Pinkamena style personalities, started families, had foals, etc. It'd be like a "Quest for the 100 Pinkies" or something. Too bad it's not oneshot material. F'naaa.
2543140
This has lots of potential. So many different directions to take a story with basically!original characters. Also, "Twilight's Parents" stories seem to eat up the feature bar really hard.
Nice to know you're still around. Maybe we'll meet again in another fandom 5 years from now where the "futanari" tag won't bother me because of the poni poni poni.
2543256
I'd rather write 5k words of Lux cuddling Applejack.
2543263
I'm sorely lacking in Spike stories. By that, I mean I've done NO Spike stories. I just wrote a Shining Armor/Flash Sentry fic, and I enjoyed it immensely. So maybe I should attempt more bromance.
As for bitter!sad Appledash, I'm already working on something to post this week or next.
2543561
Segregation is Magic?
I dun get it.
2543839
This is a very, very good idea. Probably the one that appeals to me the most. F'naaaa. Just saying.
2543984
The Trixie switcheroo idea sounds fun, but it's probably been done before. Could work with both pre and post reformed Trixie personalities.
I wouldn't mind a story where Applejack got powers somehow, or got in contact with the Almighty Avatar of Earth Ponies. But, y'know, Applejack is best pone.
2544231
I really like the potential of this story. I've never thought hard about Twilight and the fact that she got attracted to a non-equine while in human form. This could make for several different angles, most of them comedic, but perhaps with a touch serious look at orientation, fetishes, etc.
Whatever the case, if I wanted pursue it, I'd have to hurry before Rainbowbob did it first.
2545028
Damn you.
Orange juice hurts when it goes through your sinuses, and now I have to clean my laptop.
2545028
Kill La Kill poni style?
Holy hell I'd pay for that. Name a price.
~Skeeter The Lurker
2545028
Yeah, I'm still around, just never did clean up my glacially slow writing pace, heh.
Oh, also I can't recall seeing any Spike stories from you before, so being the hopeless Spike/Rarity shipper that I am, it would be neat to see you give that a try. Your shippy fics tend to be the ones I've enjoyed the most.
2545029
Lux snuggling AJ would be adorable.
... could you imagine Singed meeting Chrysalis?
Ooh, two more ideas here. One is one of my old ones:
Applejack and Rainbow Dash as movie stars: one of the big Applewood studios is planning on turning a Daring Do novel into a movie,
Daring'sA.K Yearling's blessing. Dash is cast as Daring Do after an audition (I mean, duh). And has a companion/antagonist/frenemy who happens to be an orange colored, green eyed stetson wearing cowpony. Maybe some initial difficulties with casting because AJ is trying too hard, and gets told to 'be herself' after a while... and that works out juuuust right. Of course, it would be shippy, as the movie characters end up in the slap slap kiss kiss trope, but Dash and AJ end up being the same /off/ set too.The second is this something that I was reminded of when seeing that comment about AJ getting powers.
http://moonstruck-badger.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Alicorn-Applejack-390355051.
There's got to be a story behind this. She doesn't look angry, just... really disappointed. And I don't doubt you'd have a story in mind for that :P
(And it could double as a submission for http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/friend-off-revival-rules-and-guidelines.html ! )
2545029
I gleefully await whatever insanity follows
Celestia, Twilight, Luna, and Cadence at a drive-in(fly-in?) movie theater. Or just relaxing if that setting sounds terribad. Mainly I just get bummed out seeing Twilight being overly formal and intimidated around Celestia, or having her time with Cadence ruined by apocalyptic shit and/or Discord.
I still think you should write DJ-Pon-4.0, or something else on the Itinerary.
