When I'm writing, I often get ideas. Many of these ideas are bad, or won't fit with the stories I'm writing. Some of them are sticky though. They won't go away and make room for the new ideas that I need, until I write them down as fast as I can.
From now on I keep them here, a tiny little window into the strange, strange place that is my mind. Updated when it has to be.

This is how I got An Important Letter and to a lesser extent Dark Knight of Canterlot too. Figured I might as well just start keeping them all in the same place.

Interesting idea I'll come back to it once I catch up on my back log of reading.
...Ponies have refrigerators?
The REAL question is, does Celestia have Prince Albert in a can?
2355042
They must. Derpy is always emptying Carrot Top's, according to the meme.
Saw it coming, but still enjoyable. I look forward to more shorts.
They're comfy and easy to wear.Pfft ahahahahahaha!
Nice.
2355042
Sure. They buy them at that one store that also sells lingerie
Never prank a prankster with infinitely more experience, Twilight.
2356560 oh, right, Fridges and Lingerie. I forgot because last time I went they were out of fridges. And lingerie, now that I think of it.
2356817
Ahem.
In case you forgot.
Visit Our New Canterlot Location! And our Twitter account! @SexyPonyFridges
.... I totally need to make that a novelty account.
Celestia's got some experience! Geez.
Glad I came back and read this
Yes! Shorts!
Keep writing these. They're good for you.
They're thinking too small. Now Twilight needs to send a return letter stating how Celestia's idea of a prank may very well have started a chain reaction with Equestia's electrical grid, spiraling out of control until every refrigerator in the country explodes.
Prank a prank over a prank. I wonder how far the two can go before they run out of ideas.
That was hilarious. I saw trollestia from a mile away
Also, predictability is great in comedy fics, but not too far in the future or it just spoils it.

I LOLed at author's comment to his work
I've always loved that little math tidbit... Well, "always" since I first heard about it.
Twilight shouldn't worry though... I'm betting the prosecutor is willing to make a deal.
On the next episode, Twilight tries to explain why, if two equally scrumptious piles of oats are placed equal distances apart from Cranky Doodle, the stubborn mule will starve to death before choosing either pile.
"“My dream of being an unimportant prop in the display of an obscure math fact has finally been fulfilled!” nice
oh and an explination for peoples! 3 doors, each door has a 1/3 chance of being right. The host opens one of the doors, so it ISN'T a 50/50, because you know one of the doors is wrong, meaning you are more likely to switch to a wrong one.
This is brilliant.
"Behind one of these doors, you will find freedom, behind the others jailtime for your crimes of goatnapping and chariot stealing! Now... knowing that there is jailtime behind this door... do you want to switch?"
2613384
It was inspired by a real world conversation.
And yes. I'd switch.
Broken... I am broken.
2612739
I might not be following what you're saying, but the point of the math example is that you're more likely to switch to the *correct* door if you change your choice in the end.
Basically, the odds are you chose the wrong door with your first pick (a 2 out of 3 chance of this.). When the host then removes the other wrong door, the odds are that the remaining one is the winner.
She probably should have used a chart instead of a live demonstration
Mathematician by education here. Here's why Twilight's math is right. Consider the moment right before the announcer opens a door, when all the random factors have been decided but you don't know the outcome yet. This is a complete list of the possibilities of chariot placement and door choice.
The chariot is behind door #1:
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #1: The announcer opens a goat door. Switching loses.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #2: Then the announcer has to open door #3. Switching wins.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #3: Then the announcer has to open door #2. Switching wins.
The chariot is behind door #2:
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #1: Then the announcer has to open door #3. Switching wins.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #2: The announcer opens a goat door. Switching loses.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #3: Then the announcer has to open door #1. Switching wins.
The chariot is behind door #3:
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #1: Then the announcer has to open door #2. Switching wins.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #2: Then the announcer has to open door #1. Switching wins.
IF YOU PICKED DOOR #3: The announcer opens a goat door. Switching loses.
Out of the nine possible cases, switching wins six times = 2/3.
Caveat: This assumes that the announcer always opens a goat door and then offers a switch. If it's rigged so you're only given the chance to switch when you were correct to begin with, then switching always loses. So the real-world application of this involves a healthy dose of psychology and/or cynicism.

Even better, you can get Larry to subtly point to one of the doors from the witness stand, and work in a "Lady or the Tiger?" homage too.
And this is why, in Equestria, the Monty Hall problem probably involves chickens instead of goats.
2614251
I'll need to rewatch that episode of mythbusters....
jk jk I'm too lazy *table flip*
that was much easier...
It's a shame that Twilight never got to go through the hundred-door version, that just makes it so obvious. You pick a door, then Monty opens 98 doors and tells you that the prize is behind either the door you picked, or Door #57.
2612581 Heh, punny.
In the next episode, can she explain why 0.999... = 1, please?
ROTFL
2713864 But compared to the furniture you're sleek and attractive!
Wow. I believe I just had the exact same reaction as Plumed Quill. Holy Celestia, wow.
No. Kidding.
The rest of it was interesting, and I rather enjoyed their conversation about Luna, Twilight, and little sisters. The ring is a nice touch too.
But Credenza. Wow.
A little fat?
Nothing that a few weeks in caves won't fix.
You could. Someone should. I love stories that fill in the forgotten details like this. Well done. You may have given me a story idea. Maybe...

Truly, he is the brother of our favorite adorkable librarian.

The untold back story of Chrysalis and Cadence: Chrysalis was her personal trainer, until Cadence's check didn't clear. The rest is history.
2714474
Take it with my blessing. I'd love to read something like that.
This was really quite awesome. I absolutely loved this.
Credenza indeed.
Er, wouldn't it be "head over hooves"?
"Kid, I've been doing this for a thousand years. That's how I roll."
Just remember; if she reaches into her banana bag, start running.

This is why I always make sure that any personal trainers I hire are not in command of a legion of magical insectoid monsters.
I suspect that Soylent McQuestria burgers are made from emigrants.
If Jennifer had said "Make me a Sonic Rainburger" instead, it would have been a perfect confirmation.
Classic.
I love the idea of CelestAI pulling fast ones on people to get them into E-questria.
I can just imagine the people behind her in line snickering and/or blanching as she gets dragged off.

It doesnt matter how much you do not want to upgrade a piece of software -- if they put the yes and the no close enough together and ask you every single time you use it, you will eventually hit the button inadvertently.
BTW -- need more optimalverse. Very little of it is happening anymore.
2818047
In optimal Russia, software upgrades YOU!
And yeah, more optimalverse is always good. I've got my hands full with other fics, unfortunately, but maybe some day. Just depends on hitting on a solid idea.
Emigrating is specifically moving from a place. Moving to a place is imigrating
