Pony Fanfiction Thread

Maybe you could expand your pool of references and name some of them after phantom islands or other mythological places. Having a city named after a continent wouldn't really be much of a stretch, considering the show already has a city named "The Crystal Empire".

I had considered that initially. I'd still prefer to use an actual city name, but you are right that Equestria isn't exactly shy about having rather grandiose names. Though I'd always figured the Crystal Empire was so named because it had been an empire at one point, and all that remains is the capitol now.

But, at any rate, the only real condition I'm working with is that I'd like there to be some association I can work with. Zerzura as an oasis, Ys as a city on/below the water, etc.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.

I was hoping for thoughts on that "acting" idea that I suggested.

A crackfic inspired by "Every Little Thing She Does": "When all you have is a spell book..." It's about Stupidlight Glimbutt and her favorite magic spell.

Rated T for a bit of sauce in the last scene.

The summit idea? It was awesome. But I didn't have any specific thoughts. It sounds to me like the ideal plot for a novella length story for someone who likes political dramas.

Good news! I made more Pony fanfics.

Bad news! They're x Reader fanfics!

One with Equestria Girls Pinkie Pie

And one with an Alternate Universe Fluttershy

Go home, Psyga, your drunk.

Meta: Didn't see anything I had any suggestions for in the crackfic. The ending was definitely the best part. I wasn't expecting that at all.

Yeah, so remember that Spike thing I was working on? I'm almost done with the final chapter. It's been a while since I worked on it, so any suggestions would be great.

Bring me up to speed, what is it about again?

So in the next part of my story, I finally diverge into Alt-Universe territory with the introduction of a trio of humans, and two ponies (Surprise and Twirler), in the next table over from the Mane 6. Two of them are this universe's version of Molly and Danny from G1, the third one began his conceptual life as a bizzaro version of Lero from Xenophilia and has since evolved into his own character.

Leroy grew up in one of the human nations, while Molly and Danny were raised by ponies in Equestria. Leroy's been teaching Molly Humanian and provides commentary on social differences between human culture and pony culture, especially in regards to perceptions of sexuality. (He evinces surprise when he hears Rainbow Dash isn't a lesbian and first he has to explain to Molly what a lesbian is.) All in all, this scene is a small one compared to the rest of the story, about the Mane 6 chit-chatting over drinks in a Manehattan bar, albeit a scene I've been wanting to write.

My point: This isn't an HiE, at least I don't see it that way. However, I'm fairly certain I'll have to put the Human tag on it, with all the baggage that implies. I wanna explain this as succinctly in the blurp without taking too much time away from summarizing the meat of the story.

Note: humans as side characters.

Everyone in Ponyville, including the Princesses, gets trapped in their own nightmares by a spell. Princess Luna, thanks to her innate powers, remains lucid but can't fully wake up—so she wakes up Spike, the only other one who isn't fully affected by the spell. With Luna acting as his Mission Control, Spike goes diving into the dreams of the Mane Six (plus the Cake twins) to free them from their nightmares and figure out what the hay is going on.

That, pretty much.

Okay, I've got mixed feelings about the story I'm currently reading, but this bit is gold:

I want in Twilight's dream...

Alright, been working on my first EQG fic. It's a Sonata fanfic taking place after the events of Friendship games. I need someone to proofread it and see if I need to make any edits.

I haven't published it yet, but I was wondering if it was okay to link the Google Doc of it on here or if I need to do that through P Ms.

People link their google docs on here all the time. Allowing anyone to suggest is preferred, as that way they don't need to post everything in the thread.

Alright, nice.

I recently read Fim Fictions tips for writers and I think I might of done some of the things in this fic that aren't really smart moves for writing.

Yeah, linking to a google doc is pretty standard procedure. Also, it helps if you have comments enabled; makes giving feedback easier.

Turned on the comments.

Big-picture advice: conversations shouldn’t be in big paragraphs like that. It should be a new paragraph every time you switch speakers.

I was unsure about that beforehand until I read that writing help thing, so I'll keep that in mind in the future.

I'll try to look at it at some point, though at the moment I'm a bit editing my own thing.

JT, where's the rest of your story. I feel like I finally need to dive into that thing.
