$ave Dat Money
Short Description: The Mane 6 split up and embark on an epic adventure: a grand road trip across all of Equestria. The only catch? They can only spend 20 bits.
Long Description: Twilight and Applejack, Pinkie and Rainbow, and Rarity and Fluttershy pit themselves against the ultimate challenge: a grand road trip all across Equestria, seeing all the sights and hitting all the important locales.
There's just one little addendum: they only have twenty bits each to spend along the way.

This was actually one that got really well into the planning phase but I never actually got off the ground. Inspired by me and a few family members' 2016 road trip to Colorado.
The idea was they'd borrow these weird things Zephyr Breeze had called "Recreational Vehicles" for this trip and each team would take one, decorate it for themselves, and stuff the trailer with as much stuff as they needed before they set off. Oh yeah, see those symbols? Those were to be the logos of the respective teams: Team Charm, Team Prankster, and Team Frugal. Exactly one of those is a good team name.
Which also raises the question of how the ponies would know how to drive if this was their first experience with vehicles, and I actually originally had the challenge be 20 dollars and it took me way too long to realize that should be bits instead and...yeah, honestly this would have worked a lot better as a human story in the real world but ponies were like the only lens through which I knew how to write or do anything creative, especially given the Mane 6 were established characters with personalities and stuff and coming up with my own would be, like, hard work and shit, so yeah. This probably would've been doomed to fail anyway.
And no, I'm not a Lil Dicky fan, I just thought that would be a cute/funny title.

Short Description: What if the other Elements Of Harmony were chosen to lead them all?

Honestly I'm just proud of the title of this one. Another one based on a Reddit conversation that never came to pass.

By far the most recent one here, only being conceived of for the Halloween season if 2017.
And yes, you read that right. "Musical fanfiction". I'm not a musician nor am I friends with any, so this was really more of a hypothetical idea from the star than anything I was planning to put out, especially that year. I only had a vision of one song, and it would be called "Attention One, Attention All", and would be sung by Starlight to introduce Trixie's show. I do not remember any of the lyrics.
