Pony Stories Creation And Generation · 8:04pm Aug 29th, 2018
I have an idea that I can fetch a number of stories from the site and feed it to a neural network. The network can construct a probabilistic model of words in stories, then it can generate some fanfic-like texts. To make them better I can also filter stories with a good rating.
Or I can finish my short story about ponies that I plan to publish here. I already have a detailed plot for it, so I only need to expand it. But writing code for a neural network can help to find a better job in future. Stories about ponies can hardly help. ^^

I don't know how much experience you have with neural nets, but if you're doing it yourself and even writing code for it, I don't know if your system will be able to reliably/interestingly handle the thousands of words of text that make up a fanfic.
What you could do instead, or start with just as a proof of concept, is fetch thousands of fanfics, make a dataset out of only the titles and try to generate new ones.

I experimented with thousands of images before, total size was tens of gigabytes. The main limiter was the number of parameters of a neural net, because it has to fit into GPU's memory. Unfortunately I don't have a high-end GPU, but I hope mine will be sufficient.
