If you do attempt this, be careful. Its the sort of thing that needs a really deft hand to avoid coming off as either pretentious or overly mean spirited.

So, inspired by comments from Crystal1986 pictures, I think I had in my mind a concept I aim to make comedic. The idea stems from a small discussion about there needing to be a story about murders being perpetuated somewhere and investigators end up delving into the Bronydom to figure it out.
 
In any case, I was thinking of taking this and spinning it into a crossover with Criminal Minds to satirize the day-time TV crime-drama. Pretty much, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit would be called to the scene of a series of murders to investigate and determine the unsubs motives and psychology. Each crime-scene would be connected via a series of Lovecraftian and MLP symbols.
 
Delving into the meaning of the symbols the group’s leading tech geek will create a GUI interface using visual basic to Google this shit via reverse-image search and ultimately discover a group of cultic bronies looking to summon the “Equis Mageía Rex” to purge the world of the unclean and to bring about an age of “burning love and tolerance” and “The Herd”.
 
Seeking more meaning they investigate the cult on their own grounds, inadvertently bringing them to the attention of the group who make contact with them in their demonic garb.
 
Ultimately the team gets teleported to Equestria where they end up confronting Princess Celestia as their pony selves and they manage to find and defeat this one-shot villain and get sent back to Earth where they then suffer convenient plot amnesia in Vegas and end up concluding that it all could have been a night of roofies and bad drinks before returning to work.
 
Crystals may or may not be involved.  
And Agent Hotchner’s eyes may or may not be described as the culmination of all of American hate and villainy trapped into deep, dark, deadlights. Kept shut behind his drill-sergeant emotionless demeanor.
 
 
All in all I’ll try to find out how to make fun of as many things as possible and seeing if the concept can’t be made fun of in-meta.

@Psyga315  
What do you mean everyone?

… Bring in everyone.

@gasmaskangel  
In a way, I think so.

@PonyPon
 
Wait… did you guys just come up with pony Leon?

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Sounds good, sounds like a good source of comic relief.

@PonyPon
 
I was rolling it around in my head; maybe when Apple Bloom gets onto the train and asks the conductor for Flim and Flam he looks at her with some disgust and points to her the far end of the train where the ponies who can barely afford tickets stay. And from there, hijinks ensue in which the brothers try to convince Apple Bloom that they’re actually rich.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Yes.
 
I’d say that’s an incredible way to start off.
 
And frankly, I just thought of Flim cuz’ Flam has a mustache and these exist.

@PonyPon
 
Looking for something like this?:
 
When the final bag found its place near the frame of the now ajar door, the backlash from the far left of Apple Bloom’s back filled the outside orchard with ferocious vibration.
 
“Ya just can’t do this! Ya won’t do this! Turn around right now, missy!”
 
“Eeyup.”
 
“It’s…it’s plum crazy! It’s horse feathers!” Apple Bloom still hadn’t turned around, she almost couldn’t bring herself to, but the sound of leather impact behind her reassured the now-teenager that Applejack was beyond enraged. Out of the corner of her eye, the shadow of a thrown hat reached her iris.
 
“Eeyup.” Macintosh had sided with Applejack from day one of the issue’s birth, though to less of a passionate degree.
 
“I mean, what in tarnation could you possibly learn from those yellow bellied con colts that you can’t learn from me?” Her voice, for the first time in a moon since the idea had initially passed Bloom’s lips, slowly quivered into a loud plead. “Ya can even run the apple stand with me. Ah’ll t-teach you all ah know. Just…stay. Miss that train.”
 
Turning around to face the crowd that was Macintosh, Applejack, and Granny Smith, she maintained her smile. “Well, sis, that there’s the problem. Yer a great seller ‘n all, really. It’s just…” She tossed her head upwards, as if admiring a nightly sky. “Well, Flim and Flam are just plain wordly. Ah mean, they’re certainly effective - why, the stubborn ol’ Apple Family almost lost their farm to ‘em! And that, right there? That’s why ah know I’ll learn lots from the two of them.”
 
“You’ll learn cons,” muttered Macintosh.
 
“Ya can have total control over the apple stand!”, Applejack chimed hopefully.
 
“Y’all don’t seem to get it. Goin’ to them is better than just sittin’ ‘round here, wasting ma time. Scoot’s gone to fancy flight school, Sweetie’s off as an intern to that famous singer…heck, Applejack left home as a filly! I gotta do somethin’. And let’s face it, y’all, I ain’t supposed to be here.”
 
“Apple Bloom! Just ‘caus some silly mark on yer flank don’t have an apple on it…” Applejack trailed off, for the younger pony had already started shaking her head.
 
“Nice as that is, it ain’t nothin’ but words. Ah gotta know fer myself.”
 
Granny Smith tapped her walker on the floor. She had physically aged remarkably for a pony of her maturity, yet the reliance on a device to bring her from room to room in the Apple house was inevitable. Still, she had still retained her youth in pure stature, and her presence alone was enough to hush the family. Ever since Bloom’s flank spawned its gear cutie mark, she had supported the teenager’s dream of eventual internship alongside real inventors.
 
“Now, lookie here, youngins. I can’t say ah really agree with Bloom’s decision. Actually, it’s downright dumb, if ya ask me.”
 
Bloom lowered her head to face the ground.
 
Granny Smith drew in a breath of air, silently exhaling into a smile. “But I ain’t one to beat the gums. It’s her decision, and I ain’t gonna have you two cover for her mistakes no more. She’ll make ‘em on her own, and by Celestia, she’ll pick herself up from ’em, no problem.”
 
“So I can go?” she yipped.
 
“Why, ya coulda gone five sentences ago! Now, get a wiggle on, now. Yer already late for that train.”
 

 
It’s a rough draft, but it’s actually a pretty interesting idea. Honestly, though, I see her going for Flam rather than Flim. Flam looks to be the gentleman of the two, the one who talks more convincingly, the one who cons for a reason (or, at least her claims). Flim I see as not really caring whether or not his brother’s involved with a teenager, not because he loves his brother or any crap like that, because he’s really only paying attention to the money. The chemistry between a slimeball and a slimeball to a lesser extent is something I’d rather write.
 
But I digress.

I’ve written a couple of clopfics but I don’t know how to post them on fimfiction or anything… so they’re just on my computer; unable to help anyone achieve titillation.

@PonyPon  
Damn, both of those are really good ideas. I’d try my hand at them if I didn’t feel those are way beyond my ability to write, especially the first one.

Okay, here’s two controversy-laden ideas to smack you with.
 
The first is Scootaloo playing with a large dog. It seems fairly mundane at first, until she and the dog are chased into the everfree forest by burly ponies in white coats. There, the dog defends her from timberwovles, and eventually decides to return to Ponyville, giving up Scoots and going away with the nice ponies. The Twist is that the dog is actually Screwloose, the double twist being that she’s her mom as well.
 
It’s my way of pushing Headcanon.
 
The second I just have no faith in my ability to write. It’s about Apple Bloom getting her mark at last in inventing, and against her family’s wishes, setting off with Flim and Flam, who promise they can teach her to harness her new ability.
 
The controversy in this one is her falling for the wiles and charm of Flim, eventually pursuing him romantically. Which is unfortunate for him, because he doesn’t cotton to relations with little fillies and believes his brother would hang him out to dry if he thought he was gettin’ funny with their third addition.
 
I know I would get alot of crap for just suggesting a story like that, but I think it would be a hit if written successfully.

A couple of ideas I’ve had knocking around my skull that are free to anyone who wants to use them since its likely I’ll never get around to actually writing them.
 
1.) The mane six pull a heist. Think Heat, but with ponies.  
2.) Vampire: The Masquerade in Equestria, but with one restriction, the mane six can’t be in the super obvious clans. In other words, no Malkavian Pinkie Pie or Daeva Rarity. (Personally I’d make Rarity either a Nosferatu or Gangrel, but thats just me.)  
3.) In the world of one of those ultra grimdark fics, you know the ones where Celestia is a tyrant, one or more of the mane six is a remorseless rapist or serial killer, or other random bits of horribleness, Twilight is searching for a spell to take her to a world that hasn’t gone so wrong. Lots of opportunity for meta commentary in this one for those that enjoy that sort of thing.

@PonyPon
 
Sounds like something I’d be into.
 
I have a whole bunch of OCs, if you need any. Depends on what you’re looking for.
 
There’s One Trick, the lovable travelling earth pony who wants to be a magician but, while incredibly smart, only ends up setting things on fire with his “magic”.
 
There’s Fat Chance, a casino owner who can’t get his head out of the glory days of his youth.
 
And that’s just two that I named because I’m bit of an attention whore.

One other idea I’ve been kicking around (aren’t I just full of these?) is a fic called the Very Fair Fairy Fair.
 
In it, Chrysalis and her hive attend a convention for changelings, by changelings. She has the duty of bringing some ponies as food for this bicentennial celebration.
 
The conflict is her sisters (Carni’s Queens) all doing much better than her, the ponies she brought slowly fighting their hypnosis, and her being slightly ashamed of bringing Fluffles along with her.
 
I’m wondering if I have to ask anyone to use their Ocs for the story.

Random Fanfic Idea based off something that happened recently.
 
It’s yet another Brony in Equestria fanfic, though Celestia is the one who brings him over, curious about the way humans work. At the start, he seems to hit it off rather well with the other ponies, but soon something gets revealed.
 
Turns out that this is an Ex-Brony who stopped watching the show because of one too many mean-spirited episodes. He didn’t think much of those episodes until something triggers his memories of them and suddenly his bitterness surfaces. Making it worse is that his bitterness becomes magically enhanced with some dark energy to create a dark unicorn called Chord (as in striking a chord) whose ability is to make a Pony remember the bad memories they’ve had with their friends and make them think they’re like that all the time. Think of it like an evil version of Cadance’s power mixed with an invoking of Never Live It Down.
 
So begins a battle between the ponies and Chord as he attacks them through the bad memories and turning them against each other. From there I have a few notes, like Fluttershy using her Element of Kindness to essentially blast away Chord and two to three of the four Princesses being immune to Chord’s effects (Cadance because her power counteracts Chords and Luna knew the feeling of bitterness too well not to get swayed by it again). I also have this idea of what happens in the end. The Ex-Brony is forgiven by the ponies, but he doesn’t forgive himself and the last remaining energies of Chord respond to this by making him suffer horrible pain and declare it his “punishment”, only to be smited by Fluttershy’s Element

Not really a writer but here’s an idea.
 
After the events of Overlord Raising Hell the Overlord is somehow teleported to Equestria. There he takes over all the ponies and turns the mane six into his mistresses.
 
Never said it was a good idea.

@PonyPon  
I’d cut it off after that, and see if there is a demand for an epilogue.

So, the first chapter of my first clopfic will go up tommorow, and I was thinking. Should I, after he’s done woona, include some sort of epilogue featuring their relationship in the present day? Or should I just cut off just after Blueblood finds out they’re related?

@AaronMk  
It’s a stud match over Twilight.
 
Decorum won’t last five minutes into the fight.

@PonyPon
 
Make sure to have gentleman’s rules. I’m sure any ponies of their stature would be expected to do it by the book.
 
Sort of.

@Ore-O  
Not really.
 
About to write a fight scene: Shining V. Blueblood.

@PonyPon  
Need any help on some of them?

@Ore-O  
Haven’t actually done any of it yet. It’s firmly in the planning stage.
 
And there are other fics to be done, related and non.
