You know what we need? A one shot! · 3:10am Apr 15th, 2016
It's been a while since I did one, so hit me with some ideas! I'll take the one that tickles my muse and jam out a one shot based on the idea for all to enjoy!

Something with changelings!
But seriously, I just did a one-shot, I used up my 'idea for the day' (and yes, it had changelings in it).
Gwar invades Equestria with the Scum-Ponies of the universe. My vote.
Okay, really serious now. Roll 1d6 + 1d100, keep rolling until you get a valid episode number. Watch episode, examine background ponies and write a story that fits them into the event.
Tirek being turned into a filly then is adopted but is eventually captured by changelings
Can't think of what the ending would be yet
3871422 That's an awful complex plot for a one shot, no?
3871426 well one-shots are only one chapter but people never say the limit for the amount of words so it can be complex if it wants to be
3871431 If it helps, my chapters tend to be 2k. I can go a bit longer for a one-shot, but beyond that, I tend to break down and cry and end up going back to episodic.

I could help... If you want
The only thing that holds me back from the ideas that i come up with is normally my terrible case of indecisiveness.... And if you haven't realized what that means.... I don't get help back by writers block
And that thing.... What do people call it? 'Sleep?' Whatever that is... Barely tempts me with it's comfort
How about Pinkie throwing Starlight Glimmer a party because, just because.
3871436 well then here's another idea
Zecora or someone else end up going through the mirror portal at the same time as their human counterpart
I would like to see your thoughts on what would happen in such a situation
I only suggest this as very few people in this fandom would think of such a vexxing idea
3871457 It would look odd to people watching, since it would seem they didn't go through at all, just popped right back out instead of going through.
Fluttershy becomes a princess! Princess of the Everfree! Bonus points if she becomes a vampony alicorn.
3871464 sigh~
I thought you would be more creative!
Like having them be denied entry through the portal or just swapping bodies unknowingly
Damn you could even have a pony and an entirely different human switch bodies through it and then gain amnesia or some voidic type of influence that would make random stuff that had impossibly small chances to happen become probable like cloning themselves!
Sunset Shimmer visits Twilight Sparkle to assist her in explaining Schrodinger's Cat to ponies. Fluttershy freaks out. Chaos ensues. (or something)
I've had this idea kicking around in my head forever, but I fear I will never write it.
I like one shots involving time travel. How bout Twilight has a time travel accident and has to use disguise magic while she looks for a way back to the right time, but fails to do so and through wacky shenanigans ends up as her own Aunt that filly Twlight totally loves and after her young self has her time travel accident Twilight sheds her disguise and then tells her short story and then finishes with some sort of pun.
What was that shady stallion planning to do with Pinkie's Party Cannon?
Hmm, Pony Pinkie meeting Dream Pinkie meeting Human Pinkie in Twilight's shiny castle. Location is debatable. Maybe even throw in a Pinkamina.
3871527 That would be too many Pinkie Pies!
Two related, but separate settings ideas for human(s) going to Equestria:
3871565 I like the idea of the second one, although I think both of these would require a lot more time than 2-3k words would really be able to serve up.
3871612
I figured if anypony could write a short using either setting, it might be Mr. Silver.
A few ponies and I were throwing around ideas, and we came up with a short idea for Version A, as an example:
The Ambassador to Equus is returning home to Equestria after having spent a few decades there, becoming a young adult pony in the process of their duties. They have regularly taken trips back, but intend to permanently return to Earth, to spend the remainder of their human life with their family while they are still around and not be a permanent refugee stuck in Equestria once they gets too old to safely return.
The ponies they had developed friendships with, beg them to stay, and not go. To bring their family to Equus instead, so they can live a much longer life.
How about a sequel/epilogue for Roots of stone? It had a very sudden ending and I'm sure there are many of us who would like to see how Maud and Tree manage to readjust to Equestria again.
3871546 there can NEVER be too many Pinkie Pies
A pony-side Abacus Cinch story.
Alternatively, a human-side Treehugger story.

They did that, it's called 'The Sixties'
Well, how about the utter madness of a changeling fleeing from pursuers... And running right into/through the Smooze? Smooze-face is magic resistant... Changelings use magic for just about everything...and the general populace (chasing a changeling or not) normally avoid smooze-face stuff like the plague. Awkwardness ensues!
Besides, I'm certain Discord could feel ~that~ crackfic all the way at Fluttershy's cottage... Cucumber sandwiches and tea, notwithstanding.
A tiefling from Everglow falls through a portal to Equus. Hijinks ensue.
Yet another Twilight clone (in the vein of Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer) named Crepuscular Scintillation appears with a nefarious plot. The unicorn's schemes have a few holes, however.
Ooh, if something hasn't been chosen yet then how about Pinkie discovering 'The Song That Doesn't End' and it's effect on Equestria and the music magic?
