Suggestions? · 3:13am Dec 9th, 2020
Hello! I am new here and I would really like to start writing some MLP fanfics! I would like my first story I write on here to be a suggestion from anyone so I can get the feel of what some people are looking for in a fanfiction! Do you have any suggestions? Any ships you would like to see a fanfic of? Let me know please!
Welcome!
If you write to please others you'll feel motivated at first, but you'll lose steam if you don't get feedback, or if the feedback you receive doesn't agree with your personal vision. You can find out what people like by looking at the popular stories list, but you're the only one who knows what you like, personally. What if your story doesn't get many views? In that case, what would you enjoy reading and having up on your profile for your own enjoyment?
Well, it really depends on what you personally like to write. Write for yourself first and all that, y'know?
though i suppose if you want a prompt i could chuck one atcha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯5412337
Yeah, I know but I have so many prompt ideas swarming around in my head. I am just main curious about what ships people would like to see. There are so many that it's hard to tell what people actually enjoy you know? And I don't want to write a story that no one is interested in, you know? I am just curious and trying to get a feel for the atmosphere here and see what people are looking for and what they are interested in.

Thank you for the welcome! I know that I should write for myself and that I could look at the popular story list but I also want to hear it first hand for viewers. How many viewers I get does not matter to me. The whole reason I even made this account was for enjoyment. I understand that I could be motivated at first but I could lose steam. As a writer and an artist, I have experienced art/writer's block. Honestly writing at the request of others and what they want helps me get motivated. I have a few prompt ideas and everything swarming around in my head. Thank you for the advice!

How 'bout this one:
I've got a pile of story titles and concepts up on my userpage as well. :)
Not quite a suggestion per se, but January 19th through 25th is "Fluttercord Week". Every day has a prompt for fanfiction (see the forum for the 2021 prompts).
If you feel like writing Fluttercord, you should see if any of the prompts give you any inspiration.

Great, that sounds awesome! Fluttercord is my favorite MLP ship! I'll definitely be writing some Fluttercord! Thank you!
