Six Characters Fanfic Challenge Voting

Last weekend I made a blog post inviting folks to pick a character for a 'six characters' challenge to write a fanfic of (as opposed to draw).

The voting has been canceled.

*Gasps*

I guess I'll just have to make this a ten-character challenge instead. And those ten characters are:

Lola the sloth (nominated by: Powderjaggy)

Cheerilee (nominated by: Alex Warlorn)

Cozy Glow (nominated by: rip4thwall)

Flare de Mare (nominated by: Fome)

Steela Oresdottir (nominated by: Admiral Biscuit)

Talk about a mix of obscure and manestream (pun intended ). None of the Mane 6 were nominated! G1 (Grogar; since G4 "Grogar" turned out to be Discord) and G3 (Silver Glow) are represented. I absolutely love it! Y'all weren't taking it easy on me, that's for sure!

And that's why I've decided to include everypony (and ram, and sloth) in the upcoming story. Despite my best efforts to not think about any potential scenarios until after the voting was done, I've already had some ideas. So why not use them all? And the whole point of doing this in the first place was as a thank you to my watchers, so what better way to say 'thanks' than to include them all?

This will be interesting.

[Venerable Ro]

Well this is going to be a gigantic mess, I can hardly wait. Here's hoping for curmudgeonly retired Grogar or Doctor Doom Grogar rather than monster-of-the-week Grogar.

[Reese]

Hah, well, I hope you enjoy the writing. :)

[Powderjaggy]

Now that looks like a challenge! And I was far off the mark in predicting that members of the Mane Six would be readily nominated.

I certainly hope so, or I've failed in my task as an author.

That can certainly be arranged! You nominated him, so you get to dictate how he's used. As for it being a giant mess, think of it as a 20-car pileup on the freeway everyone slows down to rubberneck at. No one wants to see it, yet no one looks away either... My challenge is to make it not a train wreck. And I've got my work cut out for me!
