One-Shot Challenge · 12:37am Jun 23rd, 2015
It's been a while, so time for a one-shot challenge! I demand story seeds, which I will try to make happen in one chapter and not be super awkward about it.
What's the worst that could happen?
Allowable themes: Almost anything. Look at my existing stories to see how varied I can be.
Well we've seen what happens if Pinkie Pie goes through the Mirror Pool... How about we see what happens if Derpy or Dinky goes through instead?
3172315 Thanks to episode 100, we have some idea of what Derpy should behave like at least.

Not a bad idea as such, but it does seem a bit too easy, yeah.
Speaking of recent episodes, what about 'Spike actually becomes a princess, hi-jinks ensure?'
If nothing else, it's topical.
3172356 All hail Princess Spike!
3172336 I think that's how nearly everyone pictured her already: clueless, optimistic and sincere.
Here's a whole list of seeds:
- How did a philosopher get trapped in the body of a mute, midget alligator?
- The adventure Cranky or Matilda had with _____ (Sea Monster, Changeling, etc.)
- Where did the Tree of Harmony come from?
- Fill out the backstory of Griffonstone that they just skimmed over in the episode.
- A day in the life of Cheerilee.
- What actually happened to AJ's parents?
- What happened to the ponies from the cutiemarkless village after the episode (the skier, balloon guy, the baker, etc.)
- A story about the pony(s) that clean up Rainbow's mess in the weather factory
If you ever feel in the mood for a longer one, and 200 other people haven't already done it, you could do Sweetie Drops' life as a secret agent before she met Lyra.
Rarity finds herself in a situation where she must cast the single-use time travel spell.
The Equestrian Postal Service begins an expedition into Discord's home dimension.
A day in the life of your favorite background pony.
I have some vague ideas:
-a pony hug goes really wrong
-Zecora forgets how to rhyme
-During the episode where discord has blue flu, Cadance gets bitten by the tatzlworm and becomes a weretatzl
Warning: The following suggestions are completely ridiculous, and some are just plain weird.
Vinyl Scratch throws Octavia a surprise party... without Pinkie Pie's help.
Doctor Whooves and Discord have a game of one-upsmanship. Or a rap battle.
Twilight turns into a human, and Rainbow Dash decides that the rather large mounds on her chest are an excellent place to take a nap.
Fluttershy develops a serious addiction to Sugar Cube Corners new deep-fried chocolaty treat, and Rarity decides to keep a log on just how much 'shy's measurements are changing.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders adopt a changeling. Naturally, they try to keep it a secret from their families.
The hu-mane 6 (and Sunset!) play twister. Alcohol gets involved, and hilarity ensues.
