Story Ideas

For the 2 people that read these...

I have a story idea or two. I’ve had these for a while, but I couldn’t quite grasp anything but the concept.

I am a rather ‘write as it happens’ guy, having never planned my stories out even once, so all I have is the concept.

So, in the first story, three ponies are adventuring (and I don’t know the names of these guys either, though I do want the character roster to include at least one girl, which is already astounding for me) and they get lost. Having no idea where they are, they stumble into an abandoned house and find some interesting pieces of history, and slowly they find out that everything, even decrepit houses, have a story.

I wanted to write this because no one ever thinks about the story of the building they’re in. They could be in some legendary house, but they don’t bother to find out the story. I think it’d be interesting to see three ponies finally discover and pay attention to everything’s story.

The second story is simple, somepony starts a business, and they pull themselves up by their bootstraps and create a famous and well-put-together building. It would go from being nothing but a shoddy build of wooden planks that serves food to a pretty good eatery.

I wanted to write this because I’ve seen this happen twice in my own city, with a laser tag place and a pizza place, and think it’s quite admirable when it happens.

Wait, while writing this, I literally came up with a name for the second concept, if I use it, Butterfly Effect. However, I’m not using it in the foreseeable future.

Anyways, I don’t have many influences for these, and that’s probably keeping me from writing them, because I have no springboard.

So, if anyone wants to leave a comment on a name for these stories and/or their OCs, that would be appreciated. However, you don’t have to.
