Not to sound pushy, but why?

I’m talking strictly non-MLP.

well theres pony fic archive… if its still around. FImFiction is still the biggest though. but I do agree, they definably need to pick up the slack. more and more crapfics keep showing up.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
It’s hard to search for anything there, but I would suggest pastebin.

Hey, guys, I have a question about fanfiction in general. FIMFiction is great for putting MLP fics, but what websites would you suggest for anything non-MLP? Fanfiction.net is getting on my nerves, LiveJournal is dead, and Tumblr is more picture-centered.

Would certainly make her costume in Luna Eclipsed seem like an interesting point.

Once that’s done, I feel compelled to write a follow up where Scoots finds out she’s inherited the curse of the Ponywolf.

Dash gets a new fan and Scoots get jealous.

Twilight has a sleepover or such and in the early ours of the morning wakes the others by screaming bloody murder. Because she had a nightmare about being turned into a princess and having to do tons of paperwork for eternity.

If I didn’t utterly detest time shenanigans, I would endorse that.
 
Fic Idea #251
 
A story following Starswirl during the final years of his life, the ones during which he makes Discord (and proves to be a terrible parent), loses his apprentice (to love, of all things), grows the element tree (because reasons), and comes to the conclusion that love and friendship were more powerful than he knew. And dies content he at least learned that, if nothing else.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
True. It would require the touch of someone good at subtlety, which is why I won’t do it.

I like it, but it might be hard to make it not seem…preachy.

So, I was watching Time Bandits and an idea struck me that I don’t think I could pull off.
 
Basically the CMC are at the library for something, and Twilight tries to make a historical joke that leaves them baffled. As she tries to explain it, she eventually finds out that the history curriculum taught in Ponyville is pretty much non existent, shenanigans ensue with her trying to teach Cheerilee’s class history, and bores the crap out of them. She gets the bright idea to use a time travel spell to take the class on a field trip back in time.
 
Then reality ensues, and Twilight finds that the history she learned was biased and sanitized. She finds that basically history was built by murdering bastards fighting other murdering bastards, while the kids provide commentary on the lines of thinking everything awful is alternately funny or cool.
 
The main appeal of this is that since the settings history is so loosely defined you can do pretty much anything with it, use it to lampoon our history through the lens of pony, and the time travel plot allows for some nice brick jokes, especially if you use stable time loops. Example: a historical holy war was started because of the disappearance of some sacred relic or another, lets say it was a mystic cupcake. The ponies travel back to when the cupcake vanished, don’t recognize it, and one of them eats it. Cue realization, and hilarious freak out from Twilight.
 
An idea for a running gag is Twilight explaining early on they need to be very careful because even stepping on a bug could alter history. The CMC proceed to stomp on every bug they find in an effort to prevent Diamond Tiara from ever being born.

one of the girls develops a sleepwalking issue due to stress.

Of course. Although they are unintentionally hidden by the shelves of manga and DVDs.

@gasmaskangel
 
Okay, sounds good. Uh, wall scrolls?

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Figurines goddamn everywhere. Even on the dvds.
 
sort of based on my own home, except all of mine are either ponies or from video games.

An army of them. In the original boxes, behind bullet-proof glass.

@AaronMk
 
How about figurines?

I’d also imagine several terabytes of anime might be laying around. Or an entire five-walls occupied by DVD’s.

@AaronMk
 
Good, good.
 
I was toying with the idea of bad hygiene but realized that, since she’s a “rich girl”, there was more opportunity for shenanigans if she bathed.
 
Specifically, she pays one of her maids to, while she bathes, push in one of her body pillows. The scene plays out as Giselle pretends to be “embarrassed”, closing her eyes, and then opening slightly to say “push him toward the tub a little more “, something like that. Might even turn to clop.

@And Brother I Hurt People
 
Body pillows.

Okay, still working with the background pony Giselle. I’m mentally planning out her room. Anybody want to hit me with common stereotypes of weaboos?

classic ‘where do babies come from’ script

@PonyPon  

 
That’s good…only problem is, I can’t write drama very well.

@YetAnotherBrony  
Certainly a new angle.
