Welp...I know you will like this blog Robinpony, but I have an idea for a another story. I already am working on too much and feel I don't have time for it all but it'll nag me if I don't write the summary down.
A pony naga (male) is captured by Circus performers, who force him to do things, he doesn't wish to do, and when not in a show, he is locked up with a special collar that keeps him from escaping. A young mare stumbles upon the naga by accident, during a show, will she be his freedom or his curse? Find out in....*thinks* Just a Monster.
(If you have a better idea for a title let me know! I am not that great with titles....)
Why am I getting a Beauty & the Beast vibe or The Hunchback of Notre Dame vibe?
I'm not sure what would be a good name for a title, but I do like the idea.
👍
When you get around to writing it, let me know. I would love it read it, but do take you time. Nothing kills a story as bad as rushing things, if you know what I mean.
4834844 I doesn't quite strike me that way. More like a story of the Elephant Man, except he is a naga and a mare might actually find him attractive.
I like the concept. Would be interesting seeing the two learning to develop trust for one another. I suspect that it would be difficult for either to feel much trust to start with; one thinks she is dealing with a monster, one has always been mistreated by ponies and treated as a monster. Would take time for them to open up to one another and not sure what would encourage either to actually do so (but that is what plots are for).
Hmmm... Just a Monster is a fine title as it stands, based on the limited knowledge I can pick out thus far. Though, if you want a few more to stir up your creative juices, you could go with something like:
- Shedding Light in Dark Hearts (kind of a spin off of one of my own titles, but it still could work for your characters I think. Plus it utilizes the snake-like aspect of your naga)
- A Part to Play: Shattered Serenade
- Fear and Loathing in Las Pegasus (not sure if this one has been taken already, but I thought it was fitting in a way)
- Of Monsters and Servants
So, yeah... I tried to think of a few more, but it's difficult to conjure up something original without knowing more about where the story will be heading. At the very least, maybe these will give you some ideas. The little tidbit you offered up already has my interest and I look forward to seeing it when you get around to it. Like Robipony said, don't rush into it. You'll have plenty of people waiting for you patiently.

Thanks for the suggestions, but after sitting and thinking awhile, I thought of the perfect title for this piece, and I promise to take my time. Can't rush perfection like they say. However, if anyone wants to be a prereaders for this, just pm me on here to discuss on Discord.
Why don't you call it,
The Elephant-mare and the Rose
p.s. The mare's name is Rose

I see.
Title idea: “All Coiled Up”
