- No meds, no motivation, no inspiration to continue. Sorry for the disappointment. At least I haven't deleted my bin.
- What follows are the vague thoughts I had for each WIP/Hiatus story, if that helps you move on. I formally rescind all ownership of these stories if and only if some other writefag wants to take my work and adapt or complete it, but I doubt any will. Finishing someone else's work sucks. Adapting it is potentially likely, inspiring the most likely. If any of my writings can inspire, that is.
- >Untitled
- Some sort of mindrape-story where Twilight Sparkle abused Anon's trust to implant herself in his mind as the only port in the storm of his life. Was going to eventually work towards something like tulpas, hence the reference to servitors somewhere in there. She was going to make it impossible for him to trust any of the M6 by making him see subtext in their behavior and actions when there was none in the waking world based on his dreams. I think. But I got stuck with the murder-mystery plot and gave up.
- >The Truth about Trixie
- Tragedy. Floor Bored would report back to Anon about Trixie's living situation and he would feel conflicted about his revenge plan. Would have a scene where he saw Trixie's math scores and decided to help her out, for whatever reason, probably a shitty one because he's a teenager and would justify it as helping his revenge plans. Grows to understand, and eventually like her. It would be a slow process, though, and in the meanwhile Anonymous would inspire a deep hatred of Trixie in Floor Bored. Floor isn't mentally stable to begin with, and lacks social knowledge, so seeing the 180-turn Anonymous pulled would bewilder her and make her hate Trixie. Floor Bored would flip her shit and struggle to keep her friendship with Anonymous over her impotent jealousy, and it would eventually turn into a murder-suicide where Anonymous sacrifices himself to save Trixie from Floor Bored, probably a knife attack or something. Or Floor Bored would kill Trixie in the woods near the trailer park and the police find out, but not before Floor Bored spends the night with Anonymous and either takes him hostage or performs another murder, followed by suicide, or something. Didn't have a clear ending in mind beyond involving the death of at least one party.
- >A Very Special Case
- Some attempt at writing an accurate portrayl of mental illness? I doubt it would've gone anywhere.
- >Maud's New Saddle
- It's porn. You knew where this was going.
- >In A Dark Park
- Eventual friendship, but I don't remember how I was going to achieve it. Any fic that relies so heavily on music is cringe and yikespilled, but whatever. Twilight Sparkle was going to be involved, somehow.
- >Shadow Grove's Husbando Summoning SNAFU
- Completely aimless beyond an excuse to research and write on horse and bat physiology and how it might feel to be a bathorse, in addition to being halfway to a self-insert story on the trouble of suffering severe combined-type ADHD. Would have a happy ending. Shadow Grove was meant to have some sort of natural affinity for dark magic, her cutie mark described in my notes as "a silver torc, its buffers interlocking stag horns," which was meant to represent some form of mastery over summoned creatures. Her exile would involve either a summoning gone wrong or her being a genuinely bad pony that had a traumatic change of heart and went into self-exile or turned herself in and was sentenced to exile somewhere in the Badlands. Was going to involve the authorities sensing her massive use of illegal magic and coming in to kick doors and break arms. Legs. Whatever.
- >Anonymare and Dude's Wholesome(?) Relationship
- Anonymare transformed from a horsecock dildo he ordered online and there were plans to write some form of clop to go with that, involving Dude and his incredibly lopsided power relationship with her. Wouldn't really be more than a bunch of short vignettes of their daily life and Anonymare eventually accepting her role as a pet. Not entirely wholesome, but it would be portrayed as such, for better or worse, with Dude being the primary PoV character.
- >A Lot to Love
- Porn. Rarity gets handsy in the theater then they go fuck in the bathroom or something. Everything turns out okay. No real plans for this one beyond that.
- >Operation Lovebug
- The story I'm most disappointed in not finishing, but I told you faggots what would happen. It can be taken as complete on its own if you go with an interpretation that Queen Chrysalis killed Anon in her escape, but that wasn't where I was going to go with the story. This one died partially because I was at an impasse on deciding how love magic should work, and how it would interact with a being from another world. The next few scenes would have involved following Chrysalis as she stealths her way through the castle, or more accurately, following her trial of victims that lead to the infirmary where Anonymous is being treated. The castle would be enclosed by Shining Armor's bubble-shield, preventing her from escape, and she knows she has a comrade in Anonymous. May or may not have included some changelings that had infiltrated the castle a while ago to assist Chrysalis in her jailbreak. I think the plan was to have love magic work as thus: Love magic is an essential force in keeping ponies alive and happy. Ponies, being fairly innocent creatures of love and friendship already, regularly get love magic from their day-to-day activities, and can "feel loved" by pretty much anypony to some degree. Anonymous, being a stupid kid (young adult, technically, but basically a kid as far as I'm concerned), would be unable to "feel loved" by any pony, except maybe Luna. Cadence would be trying to jam love into him using her link to the Crystal Heart as a sort of blood bank for love, but it would be difficult and slow. Queen Chrysalis would show up, however, profess her own love for him, and he would "feel loved" and start taking in the copious ambient love magic around him. He would become well enough to help her escape. The plan was something along the lines of Anonymous (and, perhaps, with the help of the quantum changelings that had infiltrated the castle pony population) socking Shining Armor's horn with a rock to disrupt the spell and allow Queen Chrysalis and him to flee.
- I also really liked the idea of the Crystal Heart telling Cadence that Queen Chrysalis is Anon's true love, but also telling her that Anon is Luna's true love. She wouldn't be able to get a read on Chrysalis.
- All hell would break loose once Queen Chrysalis escapes, and Anonymous would try to understand Chrysalis and her actions. Queen Chrysalis would say that ponies have a one-sided view of history and give her story, although with no records to back her up beyond falliable eyewitness testimony, it's questionable how true it is. One point in particular would be the ponies that never returned from the attack on the outpost she did so many years ago. The plan was for changelings to reproduce by deconstructing a pony in a cocoon and them re-emerging as a changeling. Chrysalis would use a caterpillar-butterfly metaphor here. The disappeared ponies most likely sacrificed themselves willingly to save the rest. I didn't have a concrete idea on what would happen here.
- What else...
- Luna would be on the warpath and practically go Nightmare Moon to save Anonymous from Queen Chrysalis. Whether or not it would be saving would be a matter of perspective. I didn't have any plans on changeling reformation, or really any idea how this conflict would end. So that's left to the reader. I don't think it would have a happy ending. Bittersweet, maybe, but not happy.
- God, I love Luna. I agree with that one poster. It should've been her. Loved writing her. Probably my favorite writing involved her character in this story.
- Edit: Nearly forgot that this was an AU that redid Candyass' wedding. Rather than Chrysalis being bad at changeling things, she's good at them. Very good. She's able to play Princess Can'tdance's part with ease, tricking everyone. The only reason she is discovered is because Rarity somehow learns about the caves beneath Canterlot Castle containing magnificent gems, and she gets Spike to tag along with her. Down there, Condense is cocooned in Chryaslis' green goop. Would be a good place to include infiltrator changelings, should any exist. Once Rarity and Spike learn of this fact, they scream bloody murder and run to get the rest of the M6 and Princess Celestia. Chrysalis still kicks ass, but Luna wakes up from her sleep and goes medieval, proving more than enough of a match for cheeselegs, giving the M6 time enough to friendship beam Queen Chrysalis into a new lawn ornament. Princess Peetzer is saved and the wedding continues as planned. I like the idea that Princess Celestia was always the weaker one between the two, given how useful soft power is in Equestria, and the thousand years of Luna's absence only made her softer. Would set up a nice dichotomy between Celestia and Luna.
