I'm a science-fiction and fantasy buff, creator of the Chakat Universe, and now dabbling in the MLP:FiM universe. I love a good story!

    Would you like to be a pony?

    Just curious, but if reincarnation was genuinely a thing, would you like to be reincarnated as a pony? If so, which type? And would you want to retain the memories of your previous human life?

    SunnyWay Art

    I've just added a commissioned picture to A Steady Heart - part 3. SunnyWay did a gorgeous pic of Steady and Mark flying together on their date. Here it is for your convenience.

    More new art

    I just got a Patreon sketch from RatedPonystar for the "It Takes Six" story – a nice family portrait of Gilda, Big Mac, and their son, Goldspur.

    Gilda-Big Mac art for "It Takes Six"

    The wonderful KlaraPL has just completed a pic I commissioned of Big Mac and Gilda for the story. I have added it to the chapter, but because people are unlikely to notice unless they re-read the story, I'm putting it in this blog too.

Where to now? · 10:07am Oct 17th, 2022

I don't currently have any stories in the works although I do have one or two ideas that aren't sufficiently developed yet. So I will throw open the suggestion box. Is there anything that you might like to see done in my style of writing that you think might appeal to me? Are there universes that Mark Wells hasn't visited yet that you'd like to see? Let me know! I may or may not write about it, but it can't hurt to ask. :twilightsmile:

might be interesting to see mark check in on the path universe after they meet the Stellar feds

I've quite enjoyed your various stories about humans stumbling into Equestria, often becoming a pony. So many approaches to explore!

i would love to see more in the Cosmic Lotus story line my self. :pinkiehappy:

or as you do (M) rated story's human woman in Equestria.

Chakats or BOLOS. Tough choice? :pinkiecrazy:

I think it could be interesting for them to stumble upon the optimalverse, or visit Georg’s Traveling Tutor universe to meet Green Grass!

I personally are all for continuation of Cosmic Lotus and other chakaty crossovers. But Green-Grassy-verse is a good point too : )
Or getting into TCB's Equestrian end in a middle of humanitarian catastrophe.

Toss in my vote for the Cosmic Lotus-verse. Also, how about Mark Wells come across Machspeed in the 'Safe Landings' universe?
I'm waiting for inspiration to strike to do another Hal Sleet bit.

Maybe he could explore the chakat universe!

May I suggest the overwatch universe because I like the idea of Mark talking to Hammond, and running from moira

In before Mark Wells meets... The Doctor!

Or a goa’ould.

Or maybe Earth’s magical mythology isn’t quite so fictional after all and he gets caught up in shenanigans there. Maybe even adds an Earth kelpie princess to his herd.

Crossover with the Changing Expectations universe by KKSlider or Accepting Change by Dr fraud

Not full-blown story, but a few chapters about different universes meeting. I can think of many possibilities.

Okay, I realize this is a major stretch, but one setting immediately comes to mind, so I'll mention it just for fun...

Remember Chris Meadows who wrote a few Chakat Universe stories? Well, he was one of the core authors of a shared setting called FreeRIDErs, which can be found at shifti.org. It's a futuristic, space-faring, mecha-filled, anime-inspired setting, overflowing with pop-culture references, with heavy doses of furry, artificial intelligence, furry and TG transformations, and even the merging of humans with AI. Sounds crazy, but it worked! And honestly, I think the crossover potential is huge.

The stories contain the odd Chakat-verse reference, and some more extensive MLP references. It took a while for the setting to really get fleshed out, but it quickly became one of my favorites. Highly recommended reading for anyone who is into this kind of thing. Here is the setting overview, and here are the stories in publication order (the preferred reading order) if anyone is interested.

On a sad note, and as a caution to potential readers, know that Chris (screen name Robotech_Master) was tragically killed in a bike accident a couple years ago, and it is unclear if the other authors ever plan to continue without him. It is highly likely that many of the currently-running threads will never be resolved, but in my opinion the setting is well worth diving in to anyway, like so many unfinished fics on this site!

Love all you write personal I would like to see more on cosmic lotus or house Path but not too sure where you'd go with it. What ever you decide I know it will be a good read.

Some more shenanigans involving Chrysalis? Always loved your portrayal of her.

Perhaps Dash finally getting her hooves on that rocket Mark promised her after his almost-space trip? I'm sure nothing could go wrong there. :trollestia:

Hows bout some kitty stories?

Maybe one of those portals goes to Pern? Or maybe the Keith Laumer's BOLO verse. One of each...
Or maybe an alternate version of Farmer Bruener Has Some Ponies. That could create some all new chaos. Besides, recursive fanfics are fun to dream up.
Harry Potter? What would HP look like if Harry received some proper magical instruction before he ever received his Hogwarts letter. Maybe he even gets to read all 7 books and watch all 8 movies before getting his Letter.
Portals to alternate dimensions can be fun. Especially if you can create them yourself.

Some cute fluff oneshots! :rainbowwild:

I second that. Either more crossover, but preferably a 100 % chakaverse story as it has been a while since we've seen one of those.

5693008
Wouldn't be the first MLP/Stargate crossover I've seen. More could be good.

The Owl House could also be interesting. Or maybe Infinity Train or Gravity Falls.

5693008
I am for something similar. Maybe where one of Twighlight and Destined's combined experiments of a new portal door sends a group back in time to ancient earth to create the mythology we know today.

Someone used that picture for the basis of their 3D model rendering in the youTube video Relative sizes of fictional SciFi vehicles. Given the various other designs seen on the covers of books and on fan sites, This is the one that actually looks like its going to hit at least as hard as it looks. :eeyup:

Oh look, Mechanical Neural Networks.. combined with Crusaders maintenance nanites and self awareness unlock?

Mechanical Neural Nets.:pinkiecrazy:

5693491
Could be interesting. Or maybe it is just Destined. He could then be even more Mr. Mysterious. :-)

Or if it is the both of them, then it could start out as a science project where Twi and Destined want to learn about the history on ancient ponies and how the Great Exodus from Earth happened...only for them to find out they have to partake in it themselves in order to save all of ponykind...as it was apparently always meant to be ....

5693823
Good idea. I'm always a fan of time travel as a continuity of history rather than rewriting it.

I have taken the time to compile a list! Behold, the Awesome Stallions Guys Club!

More Chakatverse stories would be nice!

5694106
I'd love to do something with Idol Hooves, but the nature of the story precludes doing a crossover.

I'll have to look into the others.

5694108
There's something in the works for the Chakat Universe, but it's somewhat down the track, so don't hold your breath for it. Unless another firm idea occurs to me, that's the only plot for the CU for now.

the nature of the story precludes doing a crossover.

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

Mark finds the Loc-Nar

Do not try to escape. You are in my control. Look at me: I am the sum of all evils. Look carefully. My power infests all times, all galaxies, all dimensions. But many still seek me out; a green jewel they must possess. But see how I destroy their lives.

"... Mate, we literally have whole departments dedicated to bitch slapping incorporeal clown dicks like you across the breadth of the galaxy into the Event Horizon. Do you really wanna go down this road?"

Well, I am still working on that project if you're interested in hearing what I have so far

5694117
What about some sort of timey wimey. Like it's a younger universe. If not shame. I would of loved a cross Over of it too

5694118
Maybe a story about Goldie and Forest as kids? Or about their parents' younger days...?

What about something short going back to pony roots with Cog and his family?

Some political machinations, when Mark finally opens up political channels with the USA government?

5719438

Oh dear God no:fluttershbad:

But politics that probably set folks off considering alicorns are told to be harbingers of destruction in the past. On the other hand ponies might be the perfect portal neighbor's. Docile enough to not be a threat but with enough bite for humans respect.

The only real issue I see is ponies being broken hearted when aid is refused, although that's probably a good thing in the long run for both peoples in this scenario
