While the Strange Stallion stumbles around in one iteration of Equestria, somewhere across time and space, one of his friends had arrived instead. Will they be nice? Will they be mean? Who knows, anything could happen.
Perhaps we can view these incidences and see what happens.
I said I would do it, so here it is. I'm saying upfront that these probably won't pan out into full stories. This is just my idea dump that I'd like to share. But for those of you who want to see Martin's other friends in action, here is your best bet. For now. These will be loosely edited and nowhere near as neat. So I apologize in advance.
These short ideas will show off characters mentioned in That Strange Stallion. Some of them are not outright good, you have been warned. If you would like some more information on them, try there first.
Still not completely sure if I should add tags for each individual story, so I'll wait for a confirmation.
Interesting two stories prompts. I can't help but wonder what it would be like if, somehow, they occurred in the same universe as Martin, too. Realizing from Martin's notes that they match the descriptions and stories he gave, and how they'd interact together later on.

Originally I was only going to show off Stranger, but I delayed the release until a second idea came to me cause it felt... weak to make an idea dump and only have one idea.
Making them be in the same universe would be difficult due to how each of them got there. Martin's there by accident and needs his friends to come get him. However, Jordan is there on purpose and is simply on vacation, meaning he has a means of coming to and from. If Jordan knew that Martin was stuck, he would return Martin home immediately, thus making That Strange Stallion non-existent.
I love huge sarcastic gryphons
You start off by making a brilliant story, and now you taunt us with these could be brilliant stories, do you ever plan on furthering these or maybe sequels to Martin's timeline? I know I'd be up to read them, or even a new story from you. Despite the lack of confidence you seem to imply in some authors notes, you're a great author. Anyway, whatever you choose, I wish you luck with your endeavours in life, you've certianly made mine more enjoyable. - Amethyst

If I want to make these into actual stories, I'd need to reignite my interest in them and get some inspirations. Either that or a secondary writer to help me along.
Most everything I write is on a whim. I almost never plan ahead. I just take personalities and have them interact in the way I believe they would.
For example, when I was planning on doing Rarity's last chapter bit, the rough draft was that he was going to help her decorate. However, as I progressed through the chapter, things 'changed' and it became what it is now.
I actually rather liked this one. I feel it could go places, the character is interesting enough perspective wise. While there are a few other plant protagonists, they tend to be transformed bronies, and the alien-ness of the perspective would do well here.

Ahh, understandable, I myself can never put enough continuity together to make even a short story, but I love reading through other peoples imaginings or even manuals. Anyway, like I said at the end of my last comment, whatever you're up to, I wish you luck with your endeavors, even if they aren't authoring a thing. -Amethyst
I think that the Militia being in Equestria would be the best so far.
7522603 Really? Any specific reason, or do you just enjoy the concept?
Very intriguing. I like it
7523190 Meh, mix of the concept and that Sven kinda grew on me in the short moments I knew him.
No comments on this chapter, weird. Well i just read through the other story and came to this bit of fun. Just wanted to point out the "Whats black and blue and red all over" bit of dialog through me off a bit... Newspapers are black and white, lol. Maybe change their colors so the joke still works.

Actually the joke was that he was those colors and that he was going to be on it. So it would be black and blue and read all over. Besides, it's meant to show that he's egotistical. I apologize if you didn't like the joke but that was what I was going for.

I agree
Hope to see you update
