Fanfic Writing General

I don’t know where exactly to take this but somewhere while googling what an analemma was it just struck me how Equestria theoretically would have none of the interesting mathematical phenomena tied to the movement of the stars and planets since they are all moved manually by Celestia and/or Luna.

@CobaltTheMadMage  
I thought it was only the Sun and the Moon.

Okay not for anything Pony but I’m not the first to post asking for none pony help
 
I’m looking for a good natural predator to Elves.

@Shepherd  
Orcs?  
Dragons?  
Termites?  
Beavers?  
Logging Companies?  
Giant Spiders?

@PonyPon  
Orcs might work would have to work them into nonsapient. It’s for Ben 10 I heard somewhere that it was confirmed that there are 4 earth creatures on the Omnitrix. Human, Dolphin, Mouse and Elf.
 
So I thought the Nematrix should have predators for them Bangel Tiger, Bull Shark, Horned Owl and…something.
 
I have been using Griffin as my standby.

@Shepherd  
Griffin works, since those are usually dwarven in origin, and elves hate nothing more than dwarves.

I’ve had for the longest time this idea where Starlight and Trixie are hanging out and Starlight finds out that Trixie visits an orphanage every Hearth’s Warming so that Trixie can try to give a bunch of kids  
a happy childhood since she didn’t have one.

I think I need help describing clothing and locations
 
And staying on task but I know not to ask for miracles.

Okay, imagine this one: Warcry and Red Ribbon become roommates. It’s ridiculous, I know.
 
Publishing priority for my fanfics is now:  
Sweetie Belle and the Thingy From Wherever (Oneshot)  
Before Apple Bloom??? (WTAL Fic)  
Torn Like Cotton (Cotton Cloudy sadfic)  
The Princess and the Power Plant (Starbound crossover starring Flurry Heart)  
One Thing Mite Change a Lot (The Cutie Remark Randomness)  
At 27 Pinny Lane (Pinny Lane clopfic)  
Atelier Apple Bloom (Currently doesn’t exist at all)  
Tall Apple Syndrome: A Big Babs Story (AU One bad Apple where Babs is gigantic)  
Anything else
 
@Shepherd  
I have trouble staying on task too…

I feel compelled to write a fanfic crossover of Clayfighter 63 1/3 and Rakuga Kids
 
My writing priorities would have to be  
That RWBy/final fantasy inspired fic (With the mane 6)  
A sort of elsewhere variation (with Ocs)  
A Pokemon mystery dungeon fic probably (starring an Umbreon)  
Another one starring a (Dewott)  
The Clafighter/Rakuga kids one (Though I might occasionally slap paragraphs on that when ever the need arises)

Since I love to do it, I’m gonna write up some class distinctions and backstories for MLP characters in the Krosmos universe.
 
Twilight is a Huppermage. No-brainer, they’re all about studying the magic of how the world works, and have access to magic the other gods don’t. She’d be in good company.
 
Rainbow Dash is a Iop. Warrior types, want to be the best, love to be the heroes. Also dumb as hell, outside certain areas of expertise. Can’t fly, but them’s the breaks.
 
Fluttershy, I’m torn. Osamodas would be the obvious choice, since they’re the animal class, but they also utilize whips and discipline animals as much as live in harmony with them. They also worship dragons the second hardest of all the disciples. And we all know how she feels about those. Second choice would be Sadida. Peaceful race, also at one with nature, can still like animals while not being all about them. Even get plant powers out of the deal. And there’s no way I would pass up a voodoo doll taking the place of Angel.
 
Applejack is vanilla as fuck, and thus deserves the no-nonsense, honorable, archership of the Cra. Plus they got a thing about apis(apples), so that’s a win there.
 
Rarity is an enutrof. She might be pissed at the premature aging, but she’ll get over it when she sees all the gold and gems in it for her.
 
Pinkie, as always, is a difficult one. Could make an argument for Sram, making party traps and being super sneaky. Could be an Ecaflip, who loves her parties to be one big game of chance. Or even a masqaraider, with her multiple personalities. push come to shove, I would probably just hand her the Eca.
 
Either way, her home situation is fucked up.

Let’s continue with a few more characters.
 
Shining Armor is very lucky, because there’s a lesser known god of shielding, shepherds, and really nerdy followers called Feca who he’ll fit right in with.
 
Cadance is also very easy, as we have the heal fairies of Enripsa to give her. And even though they are heal fairies, they have a dark side of alchemical poisons and damaging curses, which is why Chrysalis will also be one.
 
Trixie was a tough one, as I often get the urge to give her to a mage class, but then I realized we have a bomb-loving, drifter class that’s not as bad as their reputation: the rogue. Plus she gets a gun!
 
Starlight was doomed, so to speak, from the beginning to be a Xelor. Time manipulation aside, they’re a rather detached and driven by progress people that she and her issues would fit in with.
 
Sunset I only just decided on, to be a sacrier. Mainly through the angelic imagery and body tats of Daydream Shimmer, and a general lack of incompatibility with the mechanic of becoming more powerful through pain received.
 
And just as an aside, Blueblood’s a Foggernaut for reasons too numerous to list.

Welp, despite my first fanfic ending up a failure and me deleting it, while my second is in an indefinite hiatus until I can find a way to write this one scene, I decided to make another RWBY fanfic to pass my time.
 
I literally just spent 2 hours on 2,000 words. The chapter’s almost done and it’s basically a react fic for my own amusement. The theme will be ALTERNATE UNIVERSES.
 
Basically, the cast of RWBY reacts to alternate universes of themselves. Haven’t seen one like that yet.

Who is Sapphire Shores usually partnered with? I was brainstorming some spy shenanigan ideas involving Fleur and Fancy and Hoity Toity came to mind but I think he’s better with Photo Finish.

while I have an idea for crossover fanfiction with steven universe the basic lot is that EQG main 7 go on road trip and end up in beach city were they have to team up with steven, garnet, pearl, amethyst, lapis, peridot & connie to stop some hybrid of gem & equestrian magic

looking for an old fic where Dash and AJ both go to Manehatten after being made offers by big fancy places and when both fail they try and.. ‘fru fru girly’ themselves to try again.. and then realize it isn’t worth it.  
Dash got mistaken for a guy. and something about a bakery for AJ.

@Background Pony #1299  
expanding on it some more idea is that starwirl in the past sent something evil from equestria to earth and it arrive on earth right during the gem war the story also reference other cartoons in a very LOEG manner were both HUmane 7 & steven cast reference resent events in other cartoons like pinkie watching panda sneezing from the we bare bears episode “panda’s sneeze” sci twilight is reading an article about selected parks all over the world blasting off into space(regular show season 8),flattershy makes a reference small town that’s magnet for the weird(gravity falls)

The prologue for my RWBY react fic is done and I’m currently writing the first chapter with the theme “World War”.
 
If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to give it a post here. I might implement it into the story. It is a react fic after all and it can be anything as long as it’s RWBY.

Here are some ideas I posted over on FiMFiction’s “Idea Exchange” group. Anyone who wants to take a shot at writing them, go right ahead.
 
Fluttershy finds herself having to take care of five schoolage fillies temporarily: Applejack, Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, and Twilight. (Schoolage, like the CMCs, not babies.) Your choice what happens to their memories, and whether the CMCs themselves get involved.
 
Discord pranks Lyra by making her a pegasus temporarily. With no flight training to go with it.
 
After losing a bet, Sweetie Drops has to develop and try to sell anything that Pinkie suggests. (Example: Pinkie wants her to combine rock candy and cotton candy. Introducing: spunoW! (Inspired by seeing a real candy wrapper upside-down.))
 
There In Enough Time: Minuette takes other ponies back in time to appear where other other ponies remember seeing them: The Summer Sun Celebration that inspired Twilight to study magic, and so on.
 
Diamond Mint (yes, she’s a real background pony) learns that her father isn’t as upstanding as she thought. I’m thinking chapter titles like “Disappoint-mint”, “Resent-mint”, and “Commit-mint”.
 
Mane Phase: Ponies are finding their cards from the CCG. All are puzzle over what they could mean, and some react to what other characters apparently said about them.
 
Déjà Cutie: The Cutie Mark Crusaders’ recent clientele are all… very interesting, in that they all have cutie marks that Apple Bloom has seen before… on her, like when she had Twilight try to give her one, or when she ate the Heart’s Desire, or in her nightmare.
 
Lunacatcher: Authentic Buffalo-made dreamcatchers catch bad dreams. Cheap knock-offs catch… Luna.
 
Noi gets a large order for pillows… from the Dragonlands.
 
The Cutie Mark Chronicles: Magical Mystery Cure Edition: The rest of the Mane Six’s cutie mark stories… as they might have remembered them while under the influence of Star Swirl’s unfinished spell.
 
Windi…gone? An AU in which the Windigoes weren’t around to prompt ponies to put aside their differences and found one unified nation.

@Nyperold  
Better idea: They weren’t Windigoes.  
They were Wendigoes.

@toxicrystal  
Get out I see what you did there

Random ideas:
 
Heartbeat, Ivy (the batpony), Red Ribbon, Warcry, Sequoia and Cumulonimbus are the Elements of Harmony. Also, they live together in a single room apartment above the bowling alley.
 
The G3 Breezies find… something… possibly vaguely mushroom-shaped…
 
Something to do with Ruby Pinch and magical body piercing machines.
 
Strawberry Parchment and Violet Spark witness Blueberry Cloud murdering Thunderstruck, and end up as witnesses in court.
 
Button Mash gets sucked into Gmod and has to defeat himself to escape from the abstract *hhh maps.

^this is genius

Honesty- Cumulonimbus  
Kindness- Sequoia  
Laughter- Heartbeat  
Generosity- Ivy  
Loyalty- Warcry  
Magic- Red Ribbon

Cumulonimbus. That’s a mouthful lol
