YES!! Now I have a reason to write something I've been wanting to write, just never did! (Seriously, I've had this idea since September 2012!) This will be the most work I've ever put into a story. Mostly because I just write for fun... :pinkiehappy:*squee*

1. Looking into the threat. She visited all surrounding countries to check moods.
2. Tavern dancing! With lots of hard cider!
3. She was possessed and wasn't aware. NMM built a moon fortress.

Feel free to use these as ideas if you like...

2975210 Oh nothing like that! Just a short story of the princesses favorite things to do when nopony is looking.

2975191
Sh*t, now I'm paranoid we have the same idea, and it is scaring me...
Please tell me the jist of it in a pm or something... if you want to, that is...
>.>
<.<
I think people are hacking into my brain and stealing my good ideas…

Interesting. I actually have two potential fic ideas on the last topic. Perhaps I should explore one of them?

2975259 Dont think it needs a pm, just a funny little thing that would exploit Luna's crazy side when shes alone and bothered.

I am SO entering this. I've wanted an excuse to do a little "on the moon" piece for ages.

2975092

I've started my piece. Maybe you should do prizes for each category?

2975092 A contest? Sure I'll-!
...:rainbowhuh:

The deadline will be April 1st, 2014.

....Wait....:trixieshiftleft:



:trollestia:
Anyway, count me in, darling!:raritywink:

No, it'll just be a general one. It will be less complicated that way.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA~cough, cough~HAHAHHAHAH!!!!

you know, I'd love to join, but no, no more contests for me just this moment. Pity, though. This competition sounds really great. :pinkiesad2:
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TEMPT ME JUST AS I DECIDED TO STOP WRITING MLP FICS? :flutterrage:

Cool. I'll enter. This will be my first contest and one of the prompts is perfect for a short story I've been wanting to write. :twilightsheepish: Too bad there is no Luna emoticon.

:D My story is done. (Well, the rough draft is.) Now I just have to hunt down some editors.

3005394
Perhaps if inspiration strikes, then I'll get something together. :twilightsmile: No promises, though. :unsuresweetie:

2975092
By the way, does it really have to be St, Patricks day? Coz I have trouble trying to see how the ponies might have an equivalent for that. Could any other festival do? Like Hearths warming eve, heart and hooves day, Winter Wrap up... You know?

I think im gonna enter in this. :pinkiehappy: sounds like fun and I really need something to get me back into writing again! Perfect! :yay: so to recap: I'm in!

We'd rather it to be St Patricks Day because its more festive. However we'll allow Hearts and Hooves Day since its close to it anyway.

3017493
Problem is that us bronies in marelaysia do not celebrate st patricks day, so I don't know what happens except it involves shamrock and green. Do ponies even have saints? Why don't you show us your equivalent of that day? .perhaps we can come up with something.

Weeping Angel

Hm. That's true.
Like I said, you can choose any other prompt from the list, as well as do Hearts and Hooves Day if you so wish. But for that I may have to think about it.

I'm currently writing a Twlight/Luna fic. I'm about 54k into it, and it's getting a little frustrating that I'm not finished with it yet. I think I need a break from it, a smaller project like this may be just the thing for me. I don't normally find myself interested in shorter stories, but it's good to step out of one's comfort-zone every once in a while, and a bit of friendly competition may help motivate me to do just that.

The idea I have in my head overlaps themes from my longer work-in-progress. I don't want to get too repetitive in my work, but at the same time, focusing on this issue in particular, would be perfect for a one-shot.

This wasn't mentioned anywhere in the rules, but I have to ask, is there any problem with this being a romance-themed fic? I really don't write anything else, and my brain is stuck on 'TwiLuna.'

No-clop isn't a problem for me,considering that I can't stand it. I almost exclusively write and read romance, but when I get detailed descriptions of ponies exploring the inside of each other's mouths, then I'm more than a little put-off.

That still begs the question as to what counts as 'M'. I'm more likely to delve into t-rated material, but what one considers to be t-rated, and another considers to be m-rated, is rather subjective. If I'm going to do a pony-equivalent of Saint Patty's day, then there's most certainly going to be drinking involved.

I've also thought about playing with the idea of Luna and Twilight already being in the early stages of a relationship, but neither knowing how to approach the subject of sex. Most of what I like about the pairing comes from dealing with the age difference. If Twilight is a virgin . . . and I would find it hard to believe otherwise, then she may be a little apprehensive about it, and I find it hard to believe that Luna would whole-sale take advantage of her.

So, if the subject of sex is brought up, but ponies aren't getting all 'hot and heavy', would that still be considered a mature theme? I ask, because multiple people will have multiple answers for that. If it goes against the spirit of the competition, then that's perfectly fine. I'm merely in the brainstorming stage right now, and while I was thinking of incorporating this, because it doesn't fit with the chronology of my other fic, I can just as easily do without it.

No, romance isn't against the rules. TwiLuna is fine:twilightsmile:

If there is light sex, then it should go under the "Teen" "Sex" category. The Mature rating is for very heavy sex, like clop. I have read many stories that they "do it" per se but since it isn't very heavy, it's teen rating.

3057099 Then I'll be booted from this contest because the fic I was working on just in case of a contest, won't work here because, it has nothing to do with the Royal wedding attack, I'm not done with the chapter that talks about her stay on the moon, and the only festive thing that happens is near the end when she's celebrating her engagement.:fluttercry: Sorry, but I don't know if that is allowed. It sounds like fun though.:pinkiesad2:

Chapters? For this contest, we're looking for below 5000 words. I'm not sure how long you're planning to make chapters, but for this particular contest it might be better to just do a one-shot.

3074819 Again, another reason why, it won't work because not only is it in chapters, but each chapter is 1000 to 5000 words.

Weeping Angel
Group Contributor

3074843
Oh.
That's okay, they'll be other contests. Maybe next we will do a long-run contest.

3074900 Ok, again I apologize, love.:twilightsmile:

Weeping Angel
Group Contributor

3074910
No problem. This contest is only for funzies:pinkiecrazy:

3074919 :rainbowlaugh: Nice.:twilightsmile:

Even if I was making a fic for this contest's exception I don't think I'd get it done right away do to personal problems at home.

Weeping Angel
Group Contributor

3074932
Sorry to hear that...:pinkiesad2:
But that's okay, really. Contests are voluntary, only if you have time to do them then do them.

Weeping Angel
Group Contributor

3076893
:rainbowlaugh: That's really funny! Are you going to write about that?

3078203 maybe a short one-shot, but I thought I would still just show you that xD...

There is one where Luna wrote 'Celestia can go buck herself' or something similair, now that one was good.

Weeping Angel
Group Contributor

3078847
Oh yeah, I saw that one!:rainbowlaugh:

"Fun fact: originally Luna's sentence was only ten years."
