Pro tip: if you want to write cute Dislestia fluff about them reminiscing about a shared past, maybe that shared past should not include DISCORD KILLING ALL THE ALICORNS EXCEPT CELESTIA AND LUNA.

I don't know about you, but hanging out with the guy who murdered my entire species doesn't really make me feel fluffy and romantic, does it do that for you?

LUNA: We never truly wanted to be Princess of the Night! We wished to be...

LUNA: A LUMBERJACK!

LUNA (sings): I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
I work all night and I sleep all day

MANE 6 (sings): She's a lumberjack and she's okay
She works all night and she sleeps all day

LUNA (sings): I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go to Ponyville
And party with Pinkie

MANE 6 (sings): She cuts down trees, she eats 'er lunch
She goes to the lavat'ry

Because none of the stuff I'm cycling through is ridiculous comedy, so I'm going to start a new one anyway.

ROBOT SCOOTALOO: In which Scootaloo falls off her scooter and hurts herself, and in response Discord heals her, gives her a robot eyeball, and makes her watch short parodies of bad fanfic tropes for no particularly good reason.

Suggestions for parodies welcome.

This has to be the most useless phrase in a summary ever.

"Random Brony goes to Equestria and meets the Mane 6. What will happen?"

Well, what will happen is the story, dipshit. Because if the story isn't about what will happen, then this is the story:

"I'm a random brony. One day I just woke up and I was in Equestria! And the Mane 6 were surrounding me! The end."

So I have vowed not to start anything new until I finish some of the old, but when I'm dead in the water with writer's block because I'm too tired and unfocused to write, that doesn't stop the story ideas from coming. I figure I'll write them down, and swing around to them maybe later after I get one or two of the unfinished off my plate.

I have just built a time machine out of scraps of metal that Bender left lying round after the last time he didn't get drunk!... Wait, no, that's not it.

I just read a ponified rewrite of the quote from Liam Neeson in "Taken" about his specialized skills, and it brought this mental image to my mind:

Does anyone out there have the ability to draw live action real people in a style that's congruent with ponies (that is, they don't look like a ridiculous Who Framed Roger Rabbit moment when posed in the same frame)? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Along the lines of Vash the Stampede... the insurance agency that underwrites most of Ponyville sends a pony to make friends with Discord and follow him around to try to prevent too many chaos-related claims from being filed. (Or two. Meryl has a partner, after all.)

So it's a rule of thumb that when I finish a chapter of one story, I can't keep going with it, because if I did, I'd end up microfocusing on that one story and losing all the others. So as much as I'd like to work on Elements of Opposition, I have to shift gears.

I have a number of fics that are in progress to work on and I'm trying to decide what to shift to.

Ones I am not going to do:
