[UPDATE] So, anyone ready for another Fanfiction Friday? · 12:41am Dec 31st, 2017
My job has finally decided that they're "caught up" and have reduced the general workload from 60-hr. work weeks starting at "KILL ME NOW' o'clock to a much more reasonable 40-hr. work week starting at 5:00 AM. This means that I'm not going to be stumbling home at 2:30 PM after a 10 hour work day and taking 3-4 hour naps followed by an hour of fueling up and getting ready for the next day, then following that up with another 3-4 hour nap before starting the process all over again. This means I have much, much more energy for other things.
Like writing.
Like this thing I just published.
Naturally, I don't expect follows or likes or thumbs up (or whatever you kids are doing these days), as I've only got the one chapter up. I will say that it's my first horsefiction where I've got the entire outline written before I wrote the first chapter, so it's much more likely to receive structurally consistent updates as the story progresses.
That said, I'll give everyone time to read the chapter, get caught up on my other works, and spread the news that I'm back amongst the living before posting another Fanfiction Friday poll.
Good news for members of the Swarm, Lost Little Wolf will be back on the list, as it had it's mandatory time-out after being voted in so many times I had to introduce term limits.
To refresh everyone's memories:
Published
- Lost Little Wolf - (My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic blatant self-insert, you have been warned) When an accident on the freeway ends my mortal human existence, I emerge from a changeling egg as Chrysalis' only queen daughter. (Currently my most popular horsefic)
- Fission - (Ranma/Sailor Moon) Ranma Saotome and Usagi Tsukino both have lives that are, to put it mildly, chaotic. When a freak magical accident causes their destiny wires to short circuit, they start experiencing crossover the likes of which NOBODY could have expected (Currently my most popular fic period)
- Double Trixie Trouble - (My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic/My Little Pony - Equestria Girls) Twilight Sparkle gets clever and sends The Great and Powerful Trixie to the EQG universe as Equestria's ambasador. This winds up about how you might expect. (Currently my most popular fic amongst G&PT fans. Also, a divergence fic that takes place between S04 and S05 of MLP:FiM and after EQG:Rainbow Rocks)
- Generations of Heroes - (Mega Man) In a world controlled by Dr. Wily, there is no hope left. One brother turned traitor and the other abandoning humanity to it's fate, one girl may hold the key to the salvation of the human race from the robot masters that enslave it.
- Destiny is Like Turtle Wax - (Ranma/I, Me, My Strawberry Eggs) It's a new school year, and it's not just Ranma that's facing new changes. A new teacher with their own secrets will stir things up even more for the martial artist.
- Fallen Star - (My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic) Marines are trained to handle anything...but the training never accounted for being stranded, alone, on a world without even the rudiments of post-Industrial era tech, and no way home.
Unpublished
These are fic ideas I've been sitting on for a while and periodically tinker with. Think of them as pitches for series ideas and you all are the people I'm pitching them to.
- Agents of S.M.I.L.E. - (My Little Pony - Equestria Girls) Lyra has always known that there's a government conspiracy to keep the general public from knowing the truth about the mysteries, myths, and legends that surround us every day. What she doesn't know is that her
girl- best-friend Bon-Bon is an agent for said conspiracy. Bon-Bon's latest case and Lyra's latest cryptid hunt might just be enough to blow away all the secrets between the two...but it might just destroy the bonds between them as well. - Destiny with a Capital 'D' - (Ever After High) Apple White has always known that Daring Charming was her Fated Prince. So much so that when they started high school together, they decided to not be an "official" couple because in a few years they'd be Officially Destined, so no need to push couple-hood in their formative years. Until the Dragon Games, the premature poisoned apple, and Daring's Epic Fairy Fail to wake Apple from her forever sleep. When Daring's sister, Darling Charming, delivers the kiss that wakes Apple, it forces Snow White's daughter to rethink what her Destiny even means.
- Statutory Consequences - (My Little Pony - Equestria Girls) When Apple Bloom goes into heat around a futa-pony, the end result is a pregnant Apple Bloom. The problem? The "father" is an adult, and Apple Bloom is still very much a minor. Years after running away to avoid the shame she's sure she'll face from her family and friends, the now adult Apple Bloom returns to Ponyville (after very carefully studying the law to make sure the statue of limitations has expired) with her daughter Zap Apple, and her wife, Zap's "father." The small family must face the consequences of their actions years ago. (NOTE: Even though this story heavily features a futanari pony, it will NOT be about sex. Repeat: This is NOT a clopfic)
- A Hive of Queens - (My Little Pony - Equestria Girls) When the Mane 6 awaken to find that every single one of them is a changeling queen, they realize that not only are they all from six different alternate universes, they're in a seventh universe, having been summoned by Queen Chrysalis. In this universe Chrysalis had invaded Equestria centuries early, having to face only a much weaker Celestia, no Luna, no Elements of Harmony, no Cadance, and almost no effective resistance. It's been 1,000 years since the first Summer Sun Celebration, and Nightmare Moon is wreaking havoc in Chrysalis' empire. Having no other choice, she has summoned changeling version of the Elements of Harmony in hopes that they can deal with this threat. (This is a Fanworks Crossover fiction)
Gee, that sounds exactly like what the workplace of a friend of mine's is like. c.c
