    The Dragon Game

    You know the one.


    A sheaf of papers, prefaced with a short letter, all written in a sturdy, simple hand.

    Abbot Stillwater,

    A new project, and an explanation!

    Hey folks,

    Alternate title for this blog post: I'm Doing a Thing (and I'm looking for help)

    I don't think anyone is surprised that my pony writing has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, and my presence on this site is mostly to lurk-and-read rather than finish my long-delayed stories. What you might not know, though, is what I've been doing instead of pony writing.

So I woke up this morning and found this waiting for me:

That's right. It's Christmas, and GaPJaxie is once again dispensing presents and stuffing coal in little ponies' stockings.

You may recall that last year Jaxie gave me the same gift, and I abused it by forcing him to play Skyrim and write a Skyrim crossover fic for me. The result was this gem:

Love Letters for a Girl I Hate

A collection of Skyrim/MLP crossover fics and short stories, showing three different takes on one of the Mane 6 as the Dragonborn.

Written as a Christmas gift for Cold in Gardez.

So it turned out Jaxie didn't like Skyrim! But he wrote me a fic anyway, because he's a great guy like that. And, just to show that he's a glutton for punishment, he's now offering to do it again!

So what should we force Jaxie to do for us this year? Now accepting suggestions.

Force him to play Glover or Pac Man 2.

Pac Man 2 is... certainly a game...

Porn.

Twenty thousand words of porn.

Mlp/Lord of the Rings fic where the ponies aren't replacements of the cast of LotR; they are another race added to the mix.

Given your specific card, something involving pegasi. or war.

Second.

Also adding the caveat of romantic porn. Because what the hell else are you gonna do with 20k words to work with but set up something really heartfelt?

Of course then the question becomes "what ship?" Personally I always love me some more Sparity and my first vote would be for that, but on the other hand, a prompt like this could be used to fill a gap in the fandom! And you know what's REALLY lacking on this site? Really good Twi/Flash shipping. Maybe something about Twilight getting to talking to pony-Flash one day and being intrigued by talking in-depth with him and learning how different they are despite technically being the same person/pony, and develop some romance out of it.

So yeah let's go with romantic Sparity or FlashLight porn!

3604856
Porque no las dos?
How about a fic with both?

To push his buttons: a sequel to Would it Matter if I Was
As a challenge fic: a response/continuation fic to The Glass Blower, possibly from the viewpoint of Sticks
For funsies (and because it seems you're never going to): the final chapter(s) of Michael Bay Presents

I prefer the last one, personally.

3604782

Well I was going to leave a nice comment on the new Cadence of Cloudsdale fic, but SEE IF I DO NOW. :flutterrage:

3604871

*Twilight and Spike bump into each other in the kitchen getting some water*
*both super sweaty and disheveled and stinking of sex*
*SUPER LONG AWKWARD BEAT*
*Silently hoof-bump and head back to their bedrooms*

I like it.

Force him to play Oblivion this time.

Is this Christmas? !
I think this holiday is not very popular in China, Chinese students only understand it in the book
I think I'm one of them.
(I digress. But please do not mind, I just want to understand the customs of different countries, after all, I was just a junior high school students.)
-From Baidu translate
今天是圣诞节吗?我觉得这个节日在中国不是很流行,中国学生只在书中理解它
我想我是他们中的一个。
(我跑题了。但请不要介意,我只是想了解不同国家的风俗习惯,毕竟我只是一个初中生。)

Voting here too, even though you'll probably ignore my suggestion:

MLP: FiM crossover with Final Fantasy IX.

That needs to happen.

3604877 Gotta admit, that last idea sounds pretty fantastic...

I'd love to see the two of you collab really. Though porn would be sort of hilarious.


3604782 Are you gonna volunteer Cadance for awkward porn funtimes?

3604898
Wow, guys. Maybe, just maybe, we could actually request something that GaPJaxie would like to write? You know, so this might happen again next year?

Idea: The crusaders help Derpy with her cutie mark and/or self esteem issues.

3604763 it certainly is

3605066
This implies that I am the gatekeeper of all Cadance content on this site, an idea to which I think many people might take exception. :twilightsmile:

(Scanning last sentence for grammar... okay, it compiles. It just looks really weird.)

3604898
But... what am I going to do without your nice comment? I'll starve! </notachangeling>

Idea: Starlight takes a trip back to Our Town, tries to make amends with the residents. (this was hinted at in the S5 finale)

Bonus: Along the way, she runs into Trixie...another pony who knows something about delusions of granduer and revenge plots gone wrong. And how to come back from it all.

Something about singing alarms would be good. :duck:

Star Wars crossover with Nightmare Moon as Vader. Ignoring ep. 1-3

3605131
But that's exactly the point: he brought this upon himself. And we as the unerring, eager sadists that we are should respect his gluttony for punishment. Also, because that's what friends do: pester/annoy the crap out of each other, because it's fun. Also also, Bad Horse hasn't weighed in yet, so someone has to fill his horseshoes until then.

3604898 Obligatory tag. (You're it!)

3605131
>implying 100% serious suggestions are being made :pinkiesmile:

3605149 You and your overly correct avoidance of hanging prepositions...

3605209
We make a lovely couple. *nod*

3605149 Only to you specific version of her. Because I suspect if Jax writes porn he may be more likely to make it awkward and silly. Naturally I immediately think of your version of Cadance. :twilightsmile:

3604758 fucking glover came in a bundle with roller coaster tycoon and six-year-old me had no fucking clue how to play it. I should look up some gameplay videos to see what the fuck was actually supposed to be going on.

3605207
Speak for yourself, I'm being totally serious. :rainbowwild:

3605241
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd love to see what Jaxie's take on adult-genre ponyfic would look like, but I don't want him to feel obliged to do so.

That said, one might make the argument that putting no outright strictures on the gift means he's the author of his own fate in this matter, and is thus not to be pitied overmuch. :pinkiehappy:

3605322

The whole point of the open-ended "any prompt at all" is to let the gift-receiver have a fic that normally would never get written, and to force the gift-giver out of his comfort zone. So... if CiG really wants clop... I guess?

:twilightoops:

3605322
See this guy gets it. :raritywink:

Since she came up though I would also accept cadence and shiny for some good clean married sex.

Or Velvet and Night Light.

Or the Cakes.

Or just good clean married smut in general. That's another thing that is sorely lacking in the fandom.

If porn doesn't appeal, you could Most Dangerous Game this and have Jax write self-insert fic about his ponysona.

3604898
Can confirm 3605149 for non-changeling. (That is, fellow non-changeling.)

Which is just to say, to punish him you should leave your tasty, tasty comments on my fics instead.

3605149 Are you implying that you're not? :rainbowhuh:

3605475
Most Dangerous Game, self-insert, clop...

...

...Displaced.

3605572
"Hi, I used to be a normal human being, but then I went to a convention dressed as GaPJaxie..."

3605352
Oh honey, your poor cherry.

3605572
Bad Pav! Back into the cage!

~
Serious suggestion? A romantic fic that doesn't end in tragedy.

3605555
Of course not. Evidence of this is that "Love... Seriously?" exists.

(Kidding, Admiral Q., on the off chance you're reading this.)

3605582 Oh ouch Sky, you keep that up and people will stop leaving *any* tasty comments for you.:rainbowlaugh:

I would be curious to see something like Descartes in displaced though.... If for no other reason then all the exceptional puns.

3606024
I am obviously referring to the fact that GaPJaxie is wiser, handsomer and possessed of better oratory skills than any normal human.

3606033 Clearly, but methinks your flawless english should recognize it could be misinterpreted to mean unkind things. Naturally as a fluent english speaker (and not one who speaks any other sort of language first) you know this though. :twilightsmile:

Also, get off the comments and go write more Cadance!

3604782

Twenty thousand words of the most awkward possible TwilightxMoondancer porn disaster. Horns, hooves and wings going everywhere they're not supposed to. Furniture breaking. Twilight's whole family walks in on them. Luna walks in on them later and demonstrates awkward sexual mores from the historical period of your choice. One of them ends up in the hospital and they have to explain what they were doing. Celestia smirks at them the next day. Cadance updates her shipping chart. A THOUSAND ELEPHANTS.

3606315
She specifically updates it with the words "Well, that didn't work."

3605572

Displaced.

I can't help but feel like we've crossed some sort of line here. :rainbowwild:

A short story /chapter for each location in Lost Cities.

Sweetie Belle wakes up to an odd discovery: her horn is starting to sag under its own weight. She asks around for what the cause could be, and is told that she simply needs to recharge her magic. Through some over-the-top off-the-wall silly ritual pilgrimage that of COURSE everypony else in town thinks is TOTALLY normal. By the end of her journey, she meets a powerful magician who simply reaches into her mane and presses down, solving the problem and completely negating the entire adventure. What is WRONG with ponies in this town?

Hard Reset 3: This Must Be Thursday
Alternatively: Princess Twilight finds herself in the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout: Equestria. She decides that 20k words is definitely enough to fix things.

3606024
3605582

I would be curious to see something like Descartes in displaced though.... If for no other reason then all the exceptional puns.

Alternately, a Displaced fic about Rene Descartes in which Jaxie is not allowed to make any puns about his name.

3607329
You are a cruel man, Gardez.

3607329 Not you're just being monstrous. :applecry: I thought he was your friend!

If you can't think of something, you can always force Jaxie to get creative on your behalf. Ask him to write a fic that optimizes for number of downvotes.
