Is This A Good Idea For A Fanfiction?

[Feather Gem 967]

I had this dream a few months ago and it was ridiculous.  But...some of it is usable and interesting.

 

Pinkie Pie doesn't look like her family members as it is her foster family.

When she was very young, her father died in an accident.  Her mother (who looks like Pinkie Pie but with the straight mane), slowly went insane and started being over-protective and obsessed with her daughter, Pinkie Pie.  She would not let Pinkie Pie outdoors.  She kept Pinkie Pie alone in her room.

When this became known to Princess Celestia, she immediately took Pinkie away.  She was forced to put Pinkie's mother in an insane asylum and bring Pinkie Pie to a foster family.

This lend to the sad filly Pinkie Pie.  Until of course she saw the sonic rainboom and all.

(this could also be an explanation for Cupcakes.  It wasn't Pinkie Pie.  it was her mother)

 

So yes.  That's the main idea.  But it doesn't really have any content.  My dream was like this:

 

Pinkie's mother is let out of the insane asylum.  Pinkie and her friends go to meet her.  Pinkie's mother has made an arranged marriage for Pinkie to marry a stranger.

All of them, except for Twilight, get into the preparations.  (Pinkie doesn't seem to mind). 

Stuff happens.  Don't remember.

Twilight goes into Pinkie's old bedroom.  She finds evidence about how Pinkie's mother kept her there.  (Pinkie does not remember)

Twilight goes to tell her friends.  They believe her.

Stuff happens.  I won't bother telling you.

(this explains Cupcakes even further)

 

So yes.  Could it be a fanfiction?  I don't have to use the wedding part as it seems too silly.

i'd say it needs a little nudge here or there but if i were you i'd make an full story out of it. It has a lot of potential. So, go and work on it!

erm it sound like a good premise but Continuity shoots it down so you would have to change a few things around depending on the age she was adopted, but it doesn't sound like something that could be carried on for a full story

I don't think there is such a thing as a bad idea for fanfictions. I think there are such things as fanfics i prefer not to read (or just bad fanfic in general)  I do think the success of the story will depend on  how you choose to tell it. good luck!
