Fanfic Writing General

@HJSDGCE  
I think that’s a pretty great way to do just that.
 
I balked a bit at rewinding time, but the rest is good.

@PonyPon  
Well, it’s not exactly rewinding time.
 
It’s some confusing timey wimey spacey mumbo jumbo… stuff. Basically, she rewinds time to the beginning, fast forwards it and removes or alters certain entities to rewrite the very present without creating paradoxes in a universal scale. She does this to overwrite the villain’s grand plan (to reshape reality but by using an ancient power), wiping him out. The reason she won was because her orders are higher than his and thus, overwrites his reality in favor of hers.
 
In short, she recreates the universe.  
It was suppose to be OP as fuck as a way to show how important she was in the grand scheme of things.
 
Unfortunately, she didn’t think about reviving Red because she thought he was still alive back then and she could only do it once, so plot point.
 
Yeah, if I were to write a novel, this would be as long as Harry Potter.

My crossover verse with Ponies and Mortasheen has the issue of never seeming to be an overarching goal. Best I could do is Twilight wanting to reach greater heights in experiments and the others just along for the loot and tech.
 
The story of sorts would start with getting Spike into the mix. Twilight is panicking because she doesn’t have anything impressive enough for Professor Celestia’s Show-n-Shock later in the week, and out of desperation decides to get a (gulp) live human and Frankenstein something out of the leftover parts she has lying around. She gets some young cryogenically frozen punk and gives him a tail, a flame sac, and maybe some other, less draconic traits.
 
And that’s only a start, not sure where to continue from that or how to get the others into it. Maybe have them spend the week before bonding, and even though Spike fails the battle test(as in gets fucking mulched) Celestia is impressed with the level of their psychic bond and gives her a passing grade anyway?

Hey, can I post my short story here even though it’s not MLP related?

You know what? I’ll just go ahead and post it. So, this is my first short story that I’ve ever created. It doesn’t involve any characters from any other media and it just came to me. Please leave feedback if you can.
 
A TSUNDERE’S MINDSET
 
It was a cool, autumn breeze in the fall of 2014. I was a 17-year-old girl who was a Junior in High School and I was hanging out with my so-called boyfriend. I mean, it’s not like I wanted to hang out with him or anything. It’s just that I pitied him because he had no one else to eat with, that’s all.
 
Anyway, we were in a pretty intense game of chess, right? Well, after I got out of my chair to celebrate the fact that I have once and for all proven he is no better than any of the other dogs from the pound he came from, that moron decided to get up and place a kiss on my nose. Immediately after he did this, I wanted to punch him in the face. I wanted to punch him in the face with the force of a thousand subs for having the temerity to do such a tasteless display. Instead, I remained motionless. I remained so motionless that I made a cadaver look like Usain Bolt in comparison. In fact, the only thing I could do is stand there blushing profusely, with my face being redder than a tomato.
 
Honestly, I don’t know what’s more embarrassing: the fact that that stupid moron had the audacity to give me a kiss or the fact that in the midst of me wanting to hit him, in the midst of me thinking that this fool was no better than those dogs you find in the pound, there was secretly a part of me wishing, hoping that that idiot would give me another kiss and say for the first time that he loves me. Still, I remained motionless, with me not being able to do anything. In fact, the only thing I could muster was one simple word: baka.

@Holofan4life  
I like it.
 
Also, this thread isn’t exclusive to MLP. I usually talk about RWBY fanfics.

@HJSDGCE  

 
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Okay might need some hemp info.

@Shepherd  
It’s made of weed, and is cost effective enough that it made the timber industry scared enough to lobby to make it illegal.

@PonyPon
 
It was the timber industry! So obvious why didn’t I see it before. Also, it fits my headcanon that Treehugger is hemp farmer.

>went to Naruto fanfiction  
>decided to filter out Romance genre  
>over half of fanfics are filtered
 
… What the fuck?

@HJSDGCE
 
Shipping is the lifeblood of many fandoms.

Are there any good stories with lots of combat but still good stories overall with decent character development/interaction I can check out? For Mlp?

@Marx  

 
Have you read RWBY fanfic?
 
@Marx  

 
Oh. I don’t know then.

@YetAnotherBrony  
I could try reading one o3o. Do you know a well received one with lots of combat in the chapters?  
I’d like a good idea of well made story that does do fight scenes well despite a large number of them.

@Marx  
I have no good MLP fics.  
Only RWBY ones.

If your fanfic has more than 2 “What ifs”, then you no longer interest me.
 
Seriously, this is an example of an actual summary of a Naruto fic.  
_{”What if Naruto met the Kyūbi a little earlier? What if the Bijū weren’t all that they seemed? What if Naruto’s soul held a terrible secret that no one, not even he knew? What if there were more than nine Bijū? What if Naruto didn’t want the be the Hokage? And what if he graduated from the academy early on?”}
 
The entire fucking summary is filled to the brim with “What ifs”. Like, God, this is one of the worst summaries I had ever seen. It’s just filled with so much alterations that it might as well be its own original story but with the same characters.
 
I am not reading this. The summary ruined it for me. How can I enjoy a good read when the starting line leaves a bad taste in my mouth?

@HJSDGCE  
Pretty much by this point you’ve already spoiled the plot/premise and established that this has little to nothing to do with Naruto as we know it.

@HJSDGCE  
Well, stop eating shit, and your mouth won’t have a bad taste.

@toxicrystal  
It’s hard when at first glance, shit is already flying everywhere.

@CobaltTheMadMage  
Wouldn’t that be more of an AR?

With new character tags comes new ideas for a forever WIP fanfic:  

 
Sidenote here, am I the only one who noticed the URL for Starlight Glimmer’s tag is wrong? It’s using the ID of 122 instead of the name. (Incidentally, ID 150 is the Tantabus, 200 is Gabby, and 169 is Sugarcoat)

@Wiimeiser  
What’s with all the dots?

@HJSDGCE  
Placeholder for adding to the description. Note that it cuts off mid-sentence.

Semi-random fanfic ideas compiled by blindly selecting tags. Let’s see if anyone can make them viable.
