What would you like to see? · 6:13am Sep 5th, 2012

Hi diddly ho, neighborinos! I'm popping in to say that there are good times ahead for ol' TMWTN! As in, plenty of free times ahead. Free time for writing. I'm-I'm gonna be able to do things again. BE HAPPY WITH ME.

So, I'm going to be whittling away at getting Head Full of Cotton Candy done, but what then? What should I write after? Questions like that are what I've got you here for, because I don't like extending the effort to make decisions.

I've got a few stories lined up. I can go for these in any order, or any combination of them, or whatever you'd like. You've got the power! ...please don't make me do stuff on my own...

1) That Heavenly Turmoil sequel everyone's been asking me for! ...Kinda...! I'm knocking around some ideas for a one-shot spoof of it, "Elysian Ruckus." It would poke fun at not only the plot of the story, but at some of the writing style I used as well. Discord still haunts Princess Celestia's mind, but he's upset to discover that she finds him more irritating than tormenting.

2) The "Life and Times of Love and Harmony." A short (either a few chapters or a one-shot) spin-off of Head Full of Cotton Candy that will take place during the time from Discord's first imprisonment to the end of the second season. It would chiefly focus on Harmony and Love living in Equestria as they're tasked with making sure Discord never breaks out of his prison again, while also taking time to just get absurd around each other. Plus, if Hasbro wants to steal my idea of having a pink alicorn be the regent of Love, then fine! I'm stealing it right back!

3) Elements of Larceny. Yeeeaaap, it's been on hiatus for a bit, and I don't plan on starting it again until after HFoCC is done. I just thought that flipping between stories hurt how I was able to handle the tone and feel of both of them, so I wanted to just focus on one before I took on the other. But fear not! The story is not dead! I have the whole story planned out, a few jokes, a big face-slapping twist ending, and someone may or may not get turned into glue by the time it's done. So it's going to happen!

4) After Elements of Larceny is done, I'm going to be doing another story focusing on our favorite thieving duo. "The Good, The Bad, and the Patsy," where a murder mystery in AAAAAAAAAAAAAppleloosa has Masky and Patsy forced by the Princess to investigate, as it takes a crook to catch a crook. But it also takes a hat-wearing, apple-bucking, honesty-spitting orange mare to keep an eye on a crook trying to catch a crook. So, everyone's favorite background pony, Applejack, gets sent along with them as a parole officer. (Spoiler alert: no one gets along well.) But the trio's investigations may lead them to discover a far more sinister conspiracy hiding in the happy town, and the threat of a new buffalo war grows greater every day...

5) An Epic, Romantic, Action, Comedy, Space Opera starring you, the reader, and your favorite pony making out for 40 chapters in graphic detail while everyone who ever talked smack about you looks on and applauds. *Only available with a charitable donation to the "Feed TheManWithTwoNames Fund".

So those are your options. I'd love to hear what you have to say! And just in case I failed to get a single chuckle out of you guys yet, here's this.
