What kind of story would you like to read or write

[Bright Glow]

I know this topic is in the Brainstorming topic but i think we could collect our ideas and opiniens here.

(Caelum could you make this threat to be sticky or something inside the Brainstorming topic?)

Presently I would really like to read any kind of My little pony toy story. Example:
www.fanfiction.net/s/5629948/1/The_Perfect_Home

I would like to read Hasbro My little pony stories too especially G3 MLP stories like Past tenses or ladymoondancer's story about Minty and Kimono.

I'm not so sure this needs to be stickied.

When it comes to MLP fanfic, I'm not terribly picky. You really CAN'T be, in this fandom, cuz there's only so many writers. So long as the plot is decent and logical, the prose is nice, and the characters are well-developed and thought-out, I'll read it.

That said, I'd LOVE to read more G1-specific fic! There was tons of it floating around the net when I first discovered MLP in the middle of this past decade, but most of those old fansites have since shut down and the fics have been lost. I remember there were a few really good ones about human teens going to Ponyland, and there were some really nice, plotty series, and all sorts of awesome G1-centric goodness! I remember one of my favorite bits in one story mentioned how Danny was currently attending MIT to get a degree in technological something-or-other...

Also, crossovers. They're FUN!!! I keep having a desire to write a MLP/ATLA crossover. (ATLA = Avatar: The Last Airbender (by which I mean the cartoon show with the bald kid with the blue arrow on his head, NOT James Cameron's awesome movie, which I endearingly refer to as Dancing With Smurfs.))

Though frankly, when it comes to crossovers, I LOVE it when My Little Pony and Transformers are dragged together and insanity ensues. LM's My Little Beast Wars is absolutely hilarious. The people who created My Little Transformer are geniuses. The amount of awesomeness you get when you combine these two franchises should be illegal!!!

*eyes her three Transformers*

Hmmm...

Something that's not about fancy-pants Mary Sue alicorn princesses who are the last of their kind and have to save their entire world after years of doing absolutely nothing, because I am fed up to the BACK TEETH with them.

There.

[Caelum]

Seconded. Oh-so-very seconded.

thirded on the alicorn princess thing. Sunstar is different. She is not the last of her kind, and she isn't the only princess in my story. The Dralicorn is rare, but not unheard of. there is a reason why she alters her wings to that of a pegasus. the alicorn is actually more common. I will admit, Sunstar is a bit of a mary sue, and I'm trying to steer away from that. Also, Sunstar isn't the most powerful in the story. there are powers that must never be messed with.

My ideal story is a long, multichapter affair set in the G1 area, customs welcome, where there is a force of evil and a force of Light set to do battle against each other. (Golden red eyed plot bunny hops by, stops, gives evil eye, and hops off) you stay out of this! (dissapears, returns wearing army fatgues and armed with a net and a trangulizer) I'm going plot bunny hunting in a few minutes. (chases after bunny) (BTW, my cousin owns a bunny that is golden with red eyes. I swear, the thing is downright evil.)

I'm with Caelum in the sense that any pony story that is well developed, considerately edited, and reasonably interesting I will at least give a read through. I don't have a specific type of story I prefer. I think even last-of-the-last save-the-world stories can be well written. I do love a unique angle, and I actually like the less cataclysimic ones often the most, though there are plenty of interesting Doom and Destruction MLP stories, also. Character intrigue not involved with Ultimate Evil or Good is always something I enjoy reading, and stories which do not have an obvious good guy or bad guy can often be eye catching for me.

I just love good writing and careful editing. XD

My favorites have always been High Queen Tiffany's G1 stories and LM's G1 stories--not because they are G1 per say, but because they were/are so well written. I wish HQT's stuff was available somewhere--I used to sit and reread her Princess story over and over and over! And LM--I can't wait to see more from you! You had several stories I was following avidly....

My cousin also used to write brilliant pony stuff. Now she writes brilliant non-pony stuff. <3 But she remains a favorite. And Telepathicpixie (who is a quiet lurking member here! *pokes*) writes amazing pony stuff, too, which...isn't posted anywhere at the moment. *ahem*

I've also recently gotten into Caelum's saga, Sparkler's story, Rad's work, and Crescent's epic--you guys need to update, yah!?

I enjoy writing a vast array of pony stuff, varying from the very long G1-homage Cast Shadows to the modern setting anthro ponies of Prodigal. Which one I prefer to work on when depends entirely on mood. Cast Shadows is by far the most successful, plot wise, and is also my longest work to date with any subject matter. It's size and verbosity, I think, scare people away from it, but I enjoy working on it nevertheless. XD

Everything else I have with ponies is, slowly but surely, changing into something non-pony.

Caelum I can really understand you I redescovered MLP about 3 years ago earlier I have some memories from the time when i was really young and once or twive I saw the Bright lights and the Firefly's adventure in TV than there was nothing just it's hungarian theme son in one of my cassets. When I discovered MLP Tales most of the MLP Tales fan sites and RPG forums alredy died out.

Maybe a G3 My little pony and My little pony Tales crossover story would be great. I think it would be easier to put specia ponytypes into it like winged unis and ect.

I found this story as an example
talesschoolhouse.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fanfic&action=display&thread=110

Ok maybe it's a bit more than a simple crossover

I almost forgot, maybe some of you guys who were active at the Arena before the fanfiction forum was canceled there there was a memer called Jupicorn. She had fatastic stories unfortunetly she became unactive in the second half of 2008 so her stories lost when the fanfiction frorum closed.

There were 3 of my favourite stories:

1st: A MLP toystory whit her own ponies
2nd: A story about the evil Core7
3rd: Her own story about Spike the dragon's past which told us how did Spike get under the Celebration castle in Ponyville.

I liked Jupicorns stories too.
