I have nothing to show for the last 19 years of my life.
Possibility of a one shot idea. · 10:09pm Jan 23rd, 2016
Alright, I suppose I should first say something about my other two stories before this. I'm out of ideas for them. I had them and 'poof' gone! That mixed with not really wanting to write has lead to those stories never getting updated. My hopes are that doing some one-shots might get me interested in writing again however.
As for the idea, some of you know of, will be another HIE comedy. It will follow two humans who are hiding in ponyville wearing horse masks. You know, these.
Anyway, the ponies will be hunting them down with some pretty insane ideas. One of these idea, thanks to oh hi there, involves snakes. Only a few ponies will have an interest in them, but that doesn't mean things will be easy for them. Now for something that I've wanted to try for a bit. Oh hit there says he's willing to help, but I want to know if anyone else is willing to collab on it. That's not to say that anyone else will or if anyone will; I just want to know if you're willing. Thanks for taking your time to read this and I'll talk to you all later.
seeing that this is a one-shot HiE I don't really know what to think of it as a concept. I always like the more gelable side of those ponies and it could be interesting to see humans trying to pas as one despite the obvious deception, but I think it would need more meat to the premise of the story to make it interesting to read or at least a more focuses themed humor to it. How about making it a wield life study of the ponies (insert pseudo- scientific name here )in their natural habitat. That could be one idea you could explore.
3707876 It very much could be. Thank you for your input and giving of an idea.
3707880 you're welcome
. but this time could you plan your out story and try to make it at least a 5k world story. Also on the same theme;
having two guys doing the documentary, one super serious, the other seem to go out of his way to piss the other off and interfere in the recording.
Use a old National Geographic stile documenter
observing the mating paradises
basic profile
see how they hunt for food
see how they look out for pray
general habited
seeing their food ans sush
3707899 That's kind of why I want to see who's willing to collaborate. You know how I have a problem with dialogue? You can't really mess up talking normally, can you? Anyway, thank you for helping me with figuring out some things for the story, such as having one be serious and the other pissing him off.
3707901 well when to create character group, especially duos, it is best to have them complement each other or are opposed and it is their reactions between the two that makes it fun to read; one is shy the other is outgoing, one is prideful the other is slob, one is greedy the other is lazy, one is serous the other is a prankster. the point is
also one of my screenplay teacher has told me is that the best characters are those how have two strong traits of the deadly mortal sins. The best example that comes to mind is Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Daffy can be summed up as being greedy and prideful, he will never miss a chance to pump up his ego or to gain power for himself and he is disdainful at the idea of sharing with others. On the opposed Bugs Bunny is lazy in general he prefer to lay back and relaxes and he loves to entertain himself by watch watching other suffer his pranks.
Lastly remember that the best characters are those how are self-destructive because they overindulge in their desires or they forget everything els in the mean time.
3707938 That makes a lot of sense actually. I'll keep it in mind if I start writing it soon.
Oh god this thing. I forgot about this. I thought this would be funny because of a bunch of super serious scientists ponies (they all forged their degrees) getting the most idiotic ideas, and ponies actually acting on them. Things like that. I've now realized that I never told One of the Crowd about that idea...
3707947 I am One of the Crowd. WE even talked about this story too!
3707951 I know that! I meant the scientist thingy!
3707954 I think you did tell me that, except for the foraged degrees part.
3707960 Oh. I just thought of that actually. I figured it'd make more sense.
3707964 It would.
3707967 It's not a tree! (Get it? It "wood"? ... I'm sorry)
3707969 NO! THE PUNS ARE BACK!
3707971 They never really left.
3708073 God have mercy on our souls.
3708076 There's no mercy in hell. And you're already there. I should know, I haven't been shot, maimed, stabbed, impaled, or anything else for making a pun.
3708093 dear god...
3708095 However! I got a bacon buffet installed! All the bacon anyone could ever want! All you have to do is endure my bacon puns! Am I "bacon" you crazy yet?
3708102
Bacon? I can deal with bacon puns if I get bacon.
3708104 Then go! But watch out for the jabacons! They're crazy bout it man!
3708117 BACON!
For some reason I imagined a mask that only covers their face, which would probably be even more ridiculous.
3708126 It would be, but this is the only disguise they get. Two horse masks.
3708118 *grabs spear* CHARGE!!!!
3708127 Or what if one of them had a horse mask and the other had just a horse styled hockey mask and everyday they switched which mask the other wore which confuses the ponies, also would the story be anthro?
3708165 Nope, the ponies would question why the walked up right, but would take them at face value...Pun intended.
3708257 how about when they are offered food like hay and such, and that they would expect them to eat right in front of them. How about a date scene with one of them. how about the serous one revel to be a super hypocrite about breaking the rules.

I love all those ideas. I must add them somehow!
Sounds like a pretty neat idea, I'd read it.
3718882 I've been working on it with Oh hi there, but it's been pretty slow. We both distract each other often.
3718985 As a habitual procrastinator who often works with friends on school projects, I completely understand where you're coming from.
3719014 It still is more fun having someone working with me on it. I don't get bored while writing.
3719023 I don't doubt one bit!
