For those times when your muse outpaces your fingers, you can put your TAGC story ideas here. For example:

Title: Push Off
Characters: Spoiled Rich, Mr. Stripes
Genre: Slice of Life
MiniCon is, ironically enough, one of the biggest conventions in Equestria. It's part trade show, part celebration of all things smaller than they should be: pet clothing, baby horseshoes, shrinking spells, and especially miniature doll furniture. This year's MiniCon exclusive is a replica of Princess Celestia's own throne.

However, supplies are limited. So limited that there's only one still up for grabs, and two exceedingly pushy ponies both want it. This won't be pretty.

Title: Free Love (While Supplies Last)
Characters: Trenderhoof, Treehugger, Zephyr Breeze
Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life
Trenderhoof has an even better idea than living on a farm-- a commune! All of the authenticity with none of the corrupting capitalist influence. He even finds some colorful free spirits ready to work to make their utopia a reality. So he buys a plot of land, right next to Sweet Apple Acres.

Between Trenderhoof's can-do spirit, Treehugger's spiritual guidance, and Zephyr Breeze's... presence, there's no way this can fail.

Title: Just a Little Nudge
Characters: Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Moondancer
Genre: Romance, Comedy
When Sunburst mentions an old crush from his days at the School for Gifted Unicorns, Starlight can't wait to help him get in touch with Moondancer and set up a chance to ask her out. It turns out they're perfect for each other! But sparking a romance between two socially awkward shut-ins might be more of a challenge than she thought.

Of course, she'd never resort to spells. That would be wrong, no matter how many awkward silences, missed cues, rambling digressions, and nervous fidgets she has to sit through.

But for the love of Celestia, would anypony BLAME her?!

Characters: Steven Magnet, Safron Massala, Coriander Cumin

Steven Magnet's river has actually frozen overnight, and there's only so much cold a sea serpent can handle. But what better to help brave the cold than ordering a pot of hot curry from that delightful restaurant his friend Rarity recommended.

Characters: Sassy Saddles, Yaks

Sassy Saddles has taken her lesson on originality and creativity to heart, and her new year's resolution is to be more ambitious in her designs. Very ambitious. Too ambitious.

Trying to personally negotiate a trade deal on genuine Yakyakistan yak wool might just be a bit more than a third-row friendship student can handle.

Characters: Quibble Pants, Smooze

Even after meeting his hero and finding out she is actually a real pony, Quibble Pants has no ambitions for adventure. He is absolutely content to read and occasionally write about them, without having any actual contact with the strange and supernatural. But it would be a lot easier to ignore the green glob hibernating in his basement if it wasn't for some reason wearing a bow tie and top hat.

Characters: Svengallop, Wind Rider, Spoiled Rich

After a night in Las Pegasus Las Haygas with at least twenty drinks each and about as many minutes of intact memory between them, two stallions and a mare wake up in a hotel room with a large bag of Bits that was (probably) acquired through (mostly) legal means. Now Wind Rider and Svengallop have to decide between their ego and their self-preservation as they try to keep their ruined reputations a secret while also trying not to look like eligible bachelors to the aptly named Spoiled Rich, who herself tries to recover her wedding ring/bracelet without letting said eligible and apparently quite wealthy bachelors know that she is married.

Oh, and someone is probably trying to arrest and/or kill them, but between that and getting the sole ownership of a literal pile of money, a pony needs to have their priorities straight.

Title: Tiberius' Wondrous Winter Adventure Quest
Characters: Tiberius, Others

Tiberius embarks on a magical adventure that might decide the very fate of Equestria. But it's winter, so he isn't conscious for any of it.

Characters: Quibble Pants, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash

Rainbow thought they'd get along like a house on fire. They're both eggheads who love a good puzzle. They're both devotees of literature. They're both obsessed with realism, and thus cautious about unbelievable claims. And they're both champing at the bit to attend the latest fan convention along with her. Fun times larking about and LARPing around. Instant friendship, right?

At first, yes. Until Twilight Sparkle and Quibble Pants come up against the most infamous controversy among the fandom.

Suddenly, "house on fire" is exactly right. It starts with a bit of carelessness, a spark of heat, a bit of flickering uncertainty. Soon, everything is roaring flames and smoked confusion, and everyone's crowding around to watch the devastation and pass the popcorn.

Worse, she gets the vague impression they're enjoying this battle of the pages. And they're expecting her to take sides. And they're still LARPing while they do it...

Characters: Twinkleshine, Minuette, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna

The most remarkable thing about Twinkleshine is that she is a most unremarkable pony. Oh, she dabbles in the nature of the universe and all the fun things you can do with stars, but not so most ponies would notice.

Put her in a crowd, and she instantly blends in. Ask her for ideas, and she's fresh out before you can close your lips. Even her friends think she floats through life like a stray cumulus: bright, sunny, and barely there.

Yet she can't help but notice that Princess Celestia has taken an interest in her. At a Ponyville get-together, during a Canterlot shopping spree, near a Manehattan park picnic: wherever Twinkleshine is, Celestia is somewhere close by. Even weirder, no one else seems to notice, or else Celestia vanishes the instant Twinkleshine points her out.

Naturally, one day she catches Celestia alone and asks her point-blank what the deal is. Twinkleshine doesn't like attention, especially not royal attention.

Which is too bad. What Celestia has to tell her will change everything: her past, her present, and her future. After all, did Twinkleshine never wonder why her best friend has an hourglass for a cutie mark? Did they not spend years discussing fully operational, logical, and revolutionary technologies of space and time? Did she ever stop to ask what Minuette was doing in her back yard?

For Twinkleshine is Celestia. Or at least, she will be. It's confusing and dangerous and weird, but Minuette went and made it happen anyway.

And since Twinkleshine likes the quiet life, that's not good news. They know about Celestia's past.

That's not good news at all.
