So, this might be presumptuous as all get-out, but what the hey ... I'm happy to entertain story requests from the peanut gallery, should anyone have ideas that they might like to see me try my hand at. No promises that I will take on all requests, or that I'll take on a specific request, but I'm happy to consider any and all. (Hint: Story requests that are drabbles/one-shots will be infinitely more likely to be fulfilled that requests that would require writing something the length of War and Peace.)
Anyways, I have no idea if anyone actually cares enough about my writing to actually have a request, but if so, just lemme know. I don't usually work from requests or prompts, but I enjoy doing so. Perhaps a bit paradoxically, I find that it increases my creativity to have pre-set limits or ideas in which to work. It's good writing practice, anyways.
Cheers,
DB
p.s. While there is a wide variety of opinion on who the best pony may be, I hope there's a clear consensus on who the best pet is. Because, Gummy. I mean, really. Gummy is best pet, forever and ever.
What about something from Pinkie Pie's perspective? (say that ten times fast). Not Unless You Mean It is still my favorite FIMfic so I'd like to hear what Pinkie has to say about all this. I also really like the present tense style it's in. Very creative, beautiful writing.
DashiePie has always been my favorite but care to try your hand and some PinkieTwi? It would be easy enough to connect some of pinkies actions to an attraction to twilight though it might take some doing to get twilight to like her back. I also like PinkieSpike but that seems far more unlikely after Secret of My Excess.
I'd like to see more Rainbow Pie/Pinkiedash shenanigans, featuring RD and PP roleplaying as their historical counterparts. Like, a continuation of or sequel to the Method Acting chapter from Of Parties and Rainbows.

Thanks! That's very kind! And funny that you liked that it's in present tense--that seemed to be the thing that the Equestria Daily readers hated the most about it. (I'm fine reading stories in present tense, so it surprised me. Different strokes for different folks, I guess!)
Some of the "Of Parties and Rainbows" mini-stories are from Pinkie's perspective, but I'll likely write more stuff that is too--she IS my favorite pony. :)

I do in fact have a TwiPie in the works, though it's in the very beginning stages. Will try to finish that up. I think TwiPie can definitely work, too. Have you read Sir Gimp of Baath's "Causality"? It is, in my opinion, THE TwiPie story, and it's what first made me think the pairing could work. It's over at FF.net at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7474165/1/Causality, if you're interested.

Ha, ha! I'll see what I can do. :) Maybe I should torture their OTHER, non-Twilight friends with the misadventures of Commander Hurricane and Chancellor Puddinghead ...

might aswell make a suggestion right ?
21. A mile in another dreams
walking a mile in another's horseshoes isn't all that hard, but what are the main six going to do when Luna swaps their lifelong dreams for a day?
this one comes from my own "well of inspiration" document, but I'm not much a writer, so I'd like to see what you could do with it

Oh, man, that's a really good writing prompt. Thanks for suggesting!

So we learned about how Nightmare Moon came to be, after a spiteful Luna rose to power in order to shroud the earth in darkness. Here's an out-there idea: write a backstory as to why Discord is so intent on creating chaos. Was he always a villain? Did something (or somepony) cause him to snap, maybe even irrevocably broke his heart? For such a fascinating character, Discord has very little in the way of history or explanation. It's an ambitious prompt, but worth throwing out there.

Yeah, I've wondered as to Discord's whole deal, too. Especially as he DOES seem to have some sense of morality system, what with that whole "I don't turn ponies into stone" comment. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers,
