Need Fanfic Ideas!

[Ronaan 21]

I'm really bad at thinking of ideas to write about, but I'm extremely good at writing. I need a story to write about, and I would like it to be a gore fiction (I know, gore sucks, it's just that I can't think of anything mortifying to write about, mainly because of my optimism)

 

So, if anypony out there has some deep dark story that only the strongest of heart and stomach can comprehend, tell it now! If you really want to, I'll credit where I got the idea. I've already bookmarked the page for a link in the reference.

Okay, make a Cupcakes sequel. With no 'Omg it was a dream' at the end. Or Rainbow Factory sequel. Yeah, I like the sound of that. CUPCAKES!

I plan on making one for all the main six, minus Pinkie Pie. I do like the cupcakes sequel idea though. Or maybe an extension of Sweet Apple Massacre

[Kalakauer 20]

why don't you take some stories by Stephen King (Shining, Pet Sematary), make the story very short and write it with ponies?

 

I wanted to do this for Halloween, but I think I won't have enough time for it...

Pinkie Pie gets jealous of Rainbow Dash having a relationship with her kitchen sink, so she gets drunk on cupcakes and goes on to meet a very nice apple tree in sweet apple acres. They have 15 children, THE END.

Join the club! (I can never think up of ideas, even though I'm quite good at writing)

Hmmm...Maybe the protagonist could end up in isolation somehow? Then "scary" things happen to the character and the story ends as the the character waking up from a dream? 0.0 Actually nah forget the "waking up from a dream part" I like the isolation idea though...Argh my brain cells are dead now...I'll PM you if I come up with anything ^^ LOL

Thinking up good ideas is at least half the battle -- you can't have a good story without either a good concept nor a good style of writing. Asking ideas for a fanfic isn't such a great idea -- one will pick up someone else's idea, and one won't be totally into it, which will result in them not achieving one's best efforts seen in stories that they had a passion behind the original concept.

 

Please, do not write a gore fic for the point of writing a gore fic. Gore fics for the glory of gore generally have little storyline, nor interesting elements, and end up as crap.

 

Please, by extension, do not write a sequel for Cupcakes. This has been done hundreds -- literally hundreds -- of times. It's not creative. It's not interesting. It won't fare well for you as the writer. Just don't do it.

 

You should definitely sit down and think for a few hours straight, and wait for some story ideas to pop into your head. That way you can produce something that is original, something you are passionate about, something that might actually turn out to be impressive.

 

Good luck.

Hmmm. OK a gore fic. There is a war between ponies and griffons. A major battle took place and the battlefield is littered with bodies but the combat is now miles away. One pony, wounded (unable to fly if a pegasus) awakes to the grisly scene.

There is one other alive on the battlefield: a griffon likewise wounded.

 

Now its a battle of wits as the two must scavenge the dead for weapons, food, and supplies as they carry on the war to the last pony standing.

I think it'd be cool to make up an OC villain and then pit them against the Mane 6.

 

That's one idea, anyway. I'm working on a fic where i did that.

Ponyville citizens begin disappearing one by one during the summer because they go to Mr. Breezy's shop to buy a fan but never come out. Inside his store Mr. Breezy uses sharp edged blades for his fans and slices the townsfolk up. He's found out and stopped by Applejack who narrowly escaped and then exacted sweet country justice with Big Macintosh.
