What Stories Do You Guys Want From Me? · 9:23pm Mar 17th, 2022
What stories do you guys specifically want to see me make and how do you want me to make them? Any idea can work as long as it's very specific and something that you would like to see happen. You can tell me through either PM or replying to this blog. Thank you and have a great day.
i don't think it's gonna be just that easy tbh
I'll tell you something a good friend of mine from this site told me.
Don't overthink it. Don't write for the community. Write for yourself. Write for fun. Write a story that you like.
And if you can't think of anything, then write a few one-shots; small stories meant for fun.
Don't deny Constructive Criticism, either. Constructive Criticism isn't meant to bring you down, nor is it meant to destroy your dreams. The very definition of "Constructive Criticism" is in its own name: "Constructive".
It's meant to help you build up from your mistakes, and learn from them for future works. It's supposed to be meant for helping you.
"Tough Love", as Fluttershy would put it, when she had to let the Breezies go.
Now, that being said, Generation 5 is coming up soon, and I've noticed a pretty good amount of stories based on it have hit the Top 10 list.
Most notably, "DUDE." by "Masterweaver".
Honestly, if you find yourself struggling, it's never a bad idea to browse other stories for inspiration, nor is it a bad idea to watch shows, videos, and movies, while searching through their minor details for something to work with.
MLP: A New Generation has Boneless sitting there in Bridlewood, within the tea shop. How did Boneless end up there to begin with?
Well, Alphabrittle already knows Izzy. And Izzy shows a ton of Pinkie Pie's energy. Maybe he challenged her to a game for it in the past? Maybe he won against her?
Or maybe, there's a bit more to it than that.
We know Izzy isn't like the other unicorns. One of the smaller-noticed details, however, is that neither is Alphabrittle. And no, not just because of his bulky size, or his muscles that tower over everyone else.
He also seems to have a lot more of a spark than everyone else. Where everyone has seemingly permanent frowns, he is one of the only two unicorns in the whole town that is able to smile.
So, what if he's like that not because he won against Izzy, but rather, because he respects her... for letting him win a while back?
She knows how seriously he takes competitions, and we know she loves fun almost as much as her Earth Pony Ancestor, and said ancestor's husband, of whom she's inherited Boneless from throughout the generations.
So in the final round of a Dancing Competition, she's about to win... but then, from the corner of her eyes, she sees Alphabrittle worry, and decides to make an important decision.
She deliberately trips herself over her own hooves, and Alphabrittle wins the competition.
Once the crowd disperses, and it's just himself and Izzy, he asks her why she let him win. She tells him that she just wanted him to have fun, and that she knows she did.
He'd try to give her back Boneless, but she dismisses his offer, telling him that he won it, fair and square, then happily trots off.
He at least comes to an agreement with her. She keeps coming over, and he'll sneak some of her favorite tea behind the counter, free of charge.
She accepts his offer, saying that she knows just what to do with it!
Cut to her house, and she slips the box of tea into a flower-shaped tea maker. Then she looks at the wall, where she's hanging that picture Sunny made as a filly up, and says that, one day, she'll bring some of her new friends along, and they can have tea together.
Fast forward a couple years or so, and there she is, sitting around the opened flower, retelling her story to her friends. She asks Alphabrittle if she missed anything, and he, who's sitting in front of the unused "sixth petal", shrugs, telling her that she's pretty much spot-on.
And thus, this book can close, while another one opens!
