Midnight's Short Story Request Thread! YAY!


MidnightBlackhorn

Recommended Posts

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

Well, to start off this thread, I'd like a story about how Wordsworth Psmith first met his friend Might Batsman (both my OC's). They'd be at boarding school, and Psmith (He always prefers ponies to use his last name) would probably drag Might into a situation of escalating weirdness, all the while keeping a kind of whimsical detachment about the business. I don't know what the plot would be, probably about trying to claim the dorm study lounge as his own personal room, or starting a Socialist Society to stir things up.

In any case, both of them would have been sent from schools they liked better, so neither of them would care very much about what this school though of them. A kind of early P.G. Wodehouse kind of story, is what I'm trying to say.

Any particular title in mind?

I... kind of expected Psmith to talk a lot more, to be honest. You've got Might down pretty well near how I've pictured him, but Psmith...

Well, here's an example of how I play him. (Probably should have linked you to this sooner).

Ah, that makes sense. I was going to have him be more talkative in the second half but I can edit it to make him talk more at the beginning. I was a little worried about that, so that's why I showed it to ya. Don't worry, I'm nowhere near done yet :)

Thanks for understanding. I didn't want to nitpick; you're the author, not me. Still, as I know Psmith, he's the sort that would probably add some droll commentary to the sudden hoof-wrestling match in front of him, and probably have tried to verbally score off on Steel Hoof before hand. And to be perfectly honest, the bully does have this to say for himself: Psmith can be annoying, and it might be helpful to show that.

Hm, yes, that is a little better, though I still don't know about Psmith. He's not so much a polysyllabic nerd as much as a wordy young aristocrat. More of a monocle than a pair of glasses. Not the sort to suggest a chess match off-hand. Think... Bertie Wooster with enough of a brain to not require Jeeves.

You're not familiar with the Jeeves and Wooster series by PG Wodehouse? I kind of based Psmith on a character from that kind of Edwardian-England setting. They're really good books on their own account; check them out.

Um, if you don't understand the reference, just keep in mind that he's an English/Philosophy guy, not a math/logic guy. Like I said, not inclined to chess, but to diplomatic negotiation, which is more his forte. He tries to be humorous and clever when he talks, but he's always a little long-winded. That's what I'm trying to get across here.

Sorry if all of this gets a little frustrating; I know its not always easy writing for someone else's characters.

heya can you make a short story of my OC named Drowzy

here are a few things about him that will help

personality: he is always tired and his speech reflects this. He usually comes off as a day dreamer mixed with a slightly smart ass tone.

species: a unicorn

coat: silverish blue

mane/tail: dark blue with a slight light tint

height: a little shorter than most adult ponies

cutie mark: a sleeping cloud with Zs floating above it

flaws: he often falls asleep without noticing it. This happens a few times during conversation sometimes he even walks in his slumber.

If you don't give me more about his personality, I will assume I receive creative freedom on it

well he does obsesses over little details when he does seem like he is not paying attention to things when he actually is, but other than that and the information i provided you may indulge yourself in creative freedom on the character i am interested to see what you come up with ;)

It occurs to me that you all have nothing to sample my work by, so I am now posting a link to Lunar Love, my passion mostly unedited coming straight from my brain hyped up on too much caffeine at 7:00 AM. Enjoy!
