What's your most insane pony fanfiction idea? · 7:58am Nov 19th, 2016
I've had a wide variety of ideas over the year and a bit I've been writing pony fics, ranging from heartwarming, to comedy, to tragedy, and so on. However, something I've seen a lot of creativity in this fandom, especially compared to others, is what is sometimes called the 'crackfic'. Usually, this takes an insane idea, and runs with it, getting more and more elaborate and over-the-top as the fic continues. I've done only two stories that I would consider to be (NSFW) crackfics, and they're on the lower range of insanity.
Ideas I have that could be insane(ly funny), though may vary depending on how I write them:
1. Sombra returns back from the dead, only to perform a musical about his true love: stairs
2. Flash Sentry has to battle Pipsqueak for the true title of waifu stealer
3. Sunset Shimmer arrives in the human world, only to have a freak-out about somebody hiccuping and not immediately going to the hospital
4. Gabby becomes Empress Gabby of Griffonstone, conquering Equestria with the CMC at her side, one-shotting each Princess
5. The batpony guard initiation rite is to try and keep Celestia stealing a cake for as long as possible: there is a rumour that any batpony who makes it to 24 hours will become Luna’s personal stud
However, tonight I came up with an idea that is so ludicrous I think it tops everything else.
Several years ago, a pair of Japanese gamers posted a video to Youtube showing an intriuging Super Mario 64 challenge they created. In the game, if you find a 1-Up, it takes the form of a floating mushroom and will move towards Mario. In the challenge they created, they run away from the 1-Up and try to collect all 8 Red Coins in the first snow level in the game before the 1-Up runs into Mario. The gamers' hysterical laughter makes the video, but it's also an intriguing idea. However...
EDIT since video was deleted: in The Cutie Map, when the bottles carrying the Mane 6's Cutie Marks are destroyed, their Marks automatically float back to them
I think you can see where I'm going with this.
Well, to answer the question asked in the title of the blog post, my most crazy idea is probably Twilight Sparkle and Celestia just run around Equestria with their manes on fire and shouting at everyone.
Or the one where Sombra runs a pizza shop.
I once had an idea of writing about a steampunk equesria with sky pirates. And Flutterbat cause why not.
After Luna falls, Celestia is swamped with the work of running Equestria, watching for threats, and keeping her little ponies happy.
So she goes looking for the Well of Knowledge, cuts out one of her eyes, throw it into the well, and gains the power of accurate foresight, which she uses to predict threats, and manage her subjects.
She loses all of her depth-perception however, and while she might be able to predict when a threat is coming, her actual combat looks like a madmare swiping at invisible flies as she cannot accurately target ANYTHING.
