Hello, everyone! This is a formal request for assistance to work on a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Gamecube) Crossover / Alternate Universe fic with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It will be Epic-class, with at least 30 full-length (8-10,000 word or so) chapters - not counting interludes, prologue, and other fluff. It will take place in the MLP universe, though with several places and ideas taken from TTYD and applied to it. Most of the characters should be quite familiar; I'm trying to avoid too many OC's or anything like that if I can. It will star the entire Mane 6 for most of the active group, along with a curveball or two for good measure, and all four main villains. I'm making this post because, honestly... I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with everything right now, and I just can't seem to summon up the mental energy to work on it most of the time. Thing is, I really do want to do it - words cannot describe how excited and inspired I was when I first had this idea, and everything just seemed to click into place perfectly between the two plots. But, I guess my enthusiasm kinda faded after a while... so I've been procrastinating on it, horribly. Here's the thing, though; I've found that I can almost always work much easier and faster when I have someone with me, helping along. I had some people before - good ones, too - but they're almost all busy doing other things right now. And so, I thought I would put the word out that I have this fic in the works, and I am looking for a full-blown co-author to help me see it through to completion. Applicants should have; --> Prior knowledge of the Paper Mario: TTYD plotline & universe, as well as a very strong enthusiasm for it - I need someone who shares my passion for the game and its plot, as that will help me immensely when it comes to inspiration to get this thing written. Plus, it'll save me plenty of time and trouble explaining things. This isn't a complete deal-breaker, though, since I can still explain the plot and ideas (which I will be doing anyway); the real thing I'm looking for is inspiration, thus I need as much spirit and enthusiasm as I can get. --> A decent amount of regular free time you can take without stress. I understand if you have other things you must do or work on, of course, but it's pretty much a given that without being able to put in time, very little is gonna get done. I am running on GMT -06:00 (Central USA) time, and I am usually on during most of the afternoon and evening; I'm on at night, too, but I will be somewhat distracted then - I can usually work, though. --> Good communication skills - and not just being a cool, easy-to-get-along-with person (which helps too), but I want to stay in regular contact; that means letting me know if you have something going on, if you can't come for whatever reason, and staying available on Skype as much as possible. --> Aggressive enthusiasm - nothing makes me happier, or cuts through my procrastination better, than seeing people come to me directly instead of waiting for me to contact them. --> Decent writing skills - it goes without saying that you should have a good grasp of grammar and proper word use, and preferably some prior experience in proofreading or writing yourself. Please keep in mind that I am not just looking for an idea guy, spellchecker, proofreader, editor or anything common like that; I'm looking for a partner, whom I can count on to provide me with regular support and inspiration for the fic, yet still sternly hold me accountable for procrastinating and keep me on the straight and narrow. If anyone is interested in joining me in this endeavor, please either reply here, send me a PM, or just contact me on Skype (account name is 'umbranoth'), and we'll go from there. I'll probably start by getting to know you, first, just having a friendly back-and-forth and discussion - and if I like what I see, you'll probably get the job! And so, any Paper Mario: TTYD fans out there who felt that the plot didn't get enough justice, want to see an epic crossover between that and the land of Bronydom, or simply want to take part in writing something fun and awesome - give me a call! My door is open, and I am in no rush. Looking forward to meeting potential co-authors! ^^

Hi! I'm Sugar Song and I am here to write a fanfic about my pony. Sounds pretty lame, eh? It's my first time writing a fanfic so please cut me some slack if you are continuing. I do write as a hobby and hope to continue after schooling so I would love some feedback on how to improve because I'll be able to apply it to my writing that I am working toward publishing. My story is about the life of my OC, Sugar Song, a filly who learns the power of friendship, of leadership and confidence. I hope this turns out well and will post chapter 1 in a couple days!!

Hey Everypony! Want a short story written about your OC? Post a request for it here with a link to their character app and [optional] some idea of what happens in the story (Like if you want me to include certain details about their house or something like that. details, details) , and when I get some free time, I'll work on it. RULES I don't do anything involving 18+ content or horror I will not include any cast characters (even if you have an approved cast character, it's not happening). If you wouldn't see it in ManeRP or Crossovers, it won't happen here Every piece will, unless you ask me not to, probably be posted on my FIMfiction account. I will give you credit for the character, don't worry 1 story per person at any given time (I wont work on 2 stories at once for the same person) DON'T RUSH ME! I'm a busy person, and only write when I have time. It could take anywhere from 2 days to a month, so be patient. I reserve the right to refuse any request, or cancel a story at any given time. Other than those few rules, anything goes! If you have any questions, PM me. Leave this topic for the requests only. Hope to write your story soon! ~Eric

Hey there, everypony. I'm not sure what to write about, but I figured I may as well make use of the Blog feature since my profile is pretty blankflank enough as it is. I'm totally new to this site, but I'm hoping to make some new friends and perhaps even get somewhere with writing stories and things about ponies. I'm still struggling with writer's block, but I'm hoping that with some inspiration from other pony fanfics I read, I'll someday get the right motivation to write more. So far, I've read four pony fanfics: 1. Cupcakes - My Rating: 4/5 This story wasn't nearly as bad as people kept saying. Admittedly, the original version kind of sucked because there were so many grammatical errors. But I read the "corrected" version and it was impressive to say the least. Now, I understand that it's a horrible story due to the obvious content of murder and whatnot, but I actually really liked it. It was an interesting concept and pretty chilling to read (even moreso with the right music that I had playing while I read, specifically for that reason). I love Rainbow Dash, don't get me wrong. But I've got to say, Pinkie Pie did a real "bang up" (see what I did there?) job of torturing her. The skills of the writer weren't perfect, but the imagination was incredible. I could easily visualize everything that happened in my head - which was even more helpful with that flash animation someone made on Newgrounds. All in all, I loved Cupcakes. My reaction wasn't nearly as bad as some others I've read about. "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES THIS STUFF IS SICK EW HOW COULD YOU--" Yeah, that wasn't me. I'm not easily spooked anymore because I've watched so many horror-related things; movies, anime, cartoons (HTF, yay!)... So I was pretty relaxed and calm about it, rather than getting sick or freaking out. Then again, I'm also almost 23, so that must count for something. Unless there have been adults who've read it and still felt sick or scared. Weaklings! Kidding. 2. My Little Dashie - My Rating: 5/5 I just want to say that I nearly cried several times while reading this. It's a beautiful tale about a man who lives in a dark, gloomy world that seems to just be deteriorating around him. One day, he finds a box with a baby animal inside; a baby animal with a rainbow-colored mane and tail. He's seen and enjoyed the show in the past, so he knows immediately who it is. Rainbow Dash! He decides to take her home with him and ends up raising her as his own. It's quite a beautiful little read. It describes what it could possibly be like if it were possible to have your very own Little Pony. I've honestly thought about trying to do a sort of spin-off of this story, but instead of Dash or one of the mane six, I'd use Derpy as the pony I would take in. But I haven't figured out exactly what would go on or anything throughout so I haven't been able to really even start trying to write it. 3. Rocket to Insanity - My Rating: 4/5 This is an interesting take on a sort of continuation of Cupcakes. Rainbow Dash is haunted by excruciatingly vivid nightmares (of the events in the Cupcakes story). After her sanity ends up becoming fractured and on the verge of shutting down completely, something occurs and she loses herself. It's a short, but amazing little concept. I like it alot. It's not as descriptive as I would have hoped, though. 4. Rainbow Factory - My Rating 4/5 Ah, this one was a good one. It centers around an older Scootaloo and her dream to become a weather pony like her idol, Rainbow Dash. But after an incident during a flight test, she and two friends find out about a horrible secret Cloudsdale has kept from everypony for years and years. And the most unlikely pony is involved. It's a very intense read, and it had me on the edge of my seat, eagerly scrolling to read more. I still have several other stories to read, such as: 1. Trixie's Funhouse Even though I know for a fact it will be a horrible read (I've browsed through it before and it's incredibly short and badly written), my curiousity is getting the better of me. I don't necessarily despise pony porn, but it is pretty weird. And pornfics are just as weird as the artwork. But hey, I've learned not to knock something until you've tried it. 2. Sweet Apple Massacre I've heard "good bad" reviews about this story. That it's "on par with Cupcakes". I'm excited to read it. I liked Cupcakes, so this should be an interesting read for me if it's anything like that story. What can I say? I enjoy macabre pony things for some reason. It's just fascinating to me. I can't explain it very well. 3. Centerpiece of My Collection I know nothing about this story, but a friend reccommended it to me. I don't know what it's about at all, but he says it's a great read - similar to My Little Dashie in that it's a very emotional, beautifully-written piece of literature. I hope he's right. I like horror stories, but I also love emotional things like that. Wow, I wasn't really expecting myself to end up writing a ton of little reviews. Sorry about that. I suppose I'm just very bored and in need of something to talk about, whether or not someone actually reads this. Let's see now... what to talk about next? ................................... Well I can't really think of anything. I've been sitting here for about five minutes staring at the screen and watching the text line blink. Oh well. I guess I'll end my first blog here. If you actually read this, thank you for your interest (or boredom, whatever brought you here). I hope to hear comments and things, but if not, I'll understand. After all, you're either lazy, busy, or just not a comment type of person. I know how it goes. But even then, I'd still like to hear from you. Again, thank you. - Softy

So, I was thinking that I might like to start up a pony animation group thing. I've only seen a couple out there, so it's not really a big thing—probably because it takes a lot of work! I was just wondering if anyone would be at all interested in helping with something like this. I was also thinking of calling it 'Epic Animation Time!' The idea would be to start off doing pony animations, however this could possibly move forward from that and we could work on different or even original projects. The main thing I think that would be needed at this point would be ANIMATORS. I don't do any type of art because I am kinda terrible at it. But, I have story ideas and I can do voice work. So I'm not entirely useless. I can also be good at organizing things, like Twilight Sparkle. Anyway, post below if you're interested, and please answer the polls. If you are seriously interested in helping rather than just interested in seeing what we could produce, please use this format (you can also make other comments in addition): Name you would like to go by: Skilled in: Animating, writing, voice acting, other (can choose multiple): Examples of work (if you don't wish to post they can be emailed to epicanimationtime@gmail.com): Skype, Messenger, AIM, other-online-chat name (Skype is preferred): How many hours you think you'd be able to dedicate on average per week: This is still just a general interest query, nothing is final yet.
