//------------------------------// // The Shipping Intensifies // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Hey, hey. I don't have @all power, so I'd like to ask one of the mods to repost this. This site has been a sunsent to me. Not only are you great ponies writing/drawing/singing great works, but you've also given me things to do when I'm up in the middle of the night. Because of that I've decided two things: First, I'd like to apply to be a curator. (I have experience in the field :)) Second, and this is the big one, I'm holding a contest! That's right! Write something based on a particular topic (of my choosing) and you could win very real prizes! Just for information prizes include a custom made Williams statuette made of colored crystal (including Megan, Danny, and Molly as described in MCE), a drawing of a human character of your choice (by FishSticks), a drawing of your OC (by PaintDrop). I'll be commissioning the artists on your behalf, but please nothing outright nsfw. Suggestive is based on artist discrimination. And please keep in mind that they need time to draw your prize. Now, the moment you've been all waiting for. The topic is... The sweetest ship! (Surprised, aren't you? :)) -All ships are okay as long as they are legal -No nsfw stuff (I just want the romance. If I want to get intimate I will with my spouse, not with your fic.) -Under 7000 words please. (I have a life, you know :P) -Spellcheck it! (I want to be able to read it :) It's okay to have someone help you with edits) -It must have MC humans (sorry, just having humans is not enough) -Stories not complete by the end of contest period (14 days from now) will be disqualified -Only one entry per author (editing doesn't count) Now that you know send me your best and greatest :) Good luck to you all :) InItForTheShipping Wow! That's great! I won't participate (can't write :P), but can't wait to read all stories that the others wrote :) @Brush, @RRBB, @Bob, @Candle, @Jade, @Simile: expecting great stuff from you :)) PrinceEric Hmm. I might as well. Haven't written anything lately. @InItForTheShipping: do human x pony ships count? RRBB This is going to be bloody. I'd so much like to give it a go, but with all ten curating I'm making no promises. Who knows, though. Maybe I'll get hit by the muse? @InItForTheShipping: What about deities and other bipedal creatures? I mean is Zeus considered a human? I know that a Zeus x Megan would fulfill your requirement, but what about Zeus x Euryala? Or Icelos x Echo? LightSparkle @LightSparkle: Miss 9.7 going to try her horn in writing? Well, if you can so can I! And I'll crush you like a grape! :D Good questions, though. Pretty much everything that one could think of is already written, but some don't approve of the age difference. Zeus x Megan is like a bit... @InItForTheShipping: can we have equestrian ponies? If SweetStuff writes her fic, for example, and she has an affair with Molly (or anyone) would that count as a ship? TrueSparkle @TrueSparkle: I must be horrible, because I so much want that written as well... And Molly can come to Equestria and join SweetStuff's band! :D RRBB @RRBB: I'd say no, sorry. Or rather, yes if the pony is in human form. Still a bit weird, but I'll accept it. @LightSparkle: I'll accept that. :) Again, just keep them in human form. @TrueSparkle: No! Nope! Tsk! I'm not having Zeus x Human Celestia fics ruin my contest! :P Seriously, though, nope. Although, if SweetStuff writes that I'd accept it :P InItForTheShipping This is it! The sign I have been waiting for! I've been having my doubts lately, but today I've finally decided! I'll be taking part in this contest! There were those, who shall not be named who were Really Really Bittery Bitter about my writing attempts. To the, I say "Ha"! MightyDragon Zeus save us! RRBB Please forgive me. He has lots of good qualities, I swear! CodeFilly @InItForTheShipping: Can we write about calf love or school crushes? I know it's silly, but I want to try something like School Days Candle @InItForTheShipping: I don't mind to be paired with Icelos. He's a hottie :D TheRealLuna @InItForTheShipping: I was thinking of shipping Cadance. But if you say no... It doesn't have to be the grand 9, right? Any character will do, right? LightSparkle Just a side note. You can see my style [here]. I'm experimenting with a few things, so winners get to pick what they like. I'm okay with some suggestiveness (legs, shoulders, etc.) but nothing beyond that. Also, no scars or gross stuff, please. If nothing else, I'm not good at it. PaintDrop I can't believe I'm saying this, but can't there be humanized self-inserts? Please? @.@ LyraHands @LightSparkle: Background humans are fine. :) @LyraHands: You know I like you... but no! :P InItForTheShipping I'm unsure I'll have the time, but I'll try. @InItForTheShipping: I'll be in the Crystal Empire next week. Can we meet? Simile @Simile: Sure :) I'll show you the sights! Food is on me ;) InItForTheShipping @InItForTheShipping: If I visit, can you treat me as well? O:) HopHop @HopHop: Silly thing :) Of course. Maybe you'll try writing as well? You always went on an on about starting a blog. Think of this as your first step. :) And I like the way you tell stories. If you can capture that on paper, it will be wonderful. InItForTheShipping Are changelings considered human if they take the form of one? Simile @Simile: Hmm. Technically they should be. A changeling can take any form. So a changeling that copies a grand 9 will be human. @InItForTheShipping: Does the actuation have to take place in Mistmount? Danny goes to Equestria, sees girl who turns out to be a changeling. Heartbroken, etc? RRBB @RRBB: I assume that's a question :) And why not? It's incentive so I'd say go for it. Rule of one real real human applies. No two changelings falling in love with each other's disguises. (Even if it's a cool idea :)) InItForTheShipping I think I have the perfect idea! :) Love triangles are ships, right? Twist Now that's a Twist! Feather @Feather: You should feel bad! Even I cringe at that pun! MightyDragon Let's never speak of this again. LyraHands @Twist: Yes :) InItForTheShipping
