    Illidan story First chapter preview

    Water dripped from the cave’s ceiling, spilling down onto the dark mossy floor and a figure stirred in the blackness. The cave was long, deep and without light, the drops echoing through its walls as if it would go on forever. Shriveled pieces of paper laid across the stone floor, others flat and some whole. There was a simple wooden desk put against the wall with a pen and a book lying beside

    Story Nr. 7 preview (Possessed Shining Armor story)

    Hello there. Here's a preview at the first chapter of story number 7. As I've mentioned before it takes place in the future. Keep in mind that this is unedited, and unpolished. It should give a general idea of the story, or at least a little of it.

    Preview of story Nr. 2 (Adventures of Captain Goodguy)

    Here's a preview of the prologue of the Captain GoodGuy story. Let me know what you think of it.


    Hmmm… How do I start this?

    I could start with telling about my many adventures?

    No that’s not good…

    Maybe from the beginning?

    Nah, too cliche.

    I guess I will start with my name.

    Okay so here's a small part of a chapter from story nr 7, I've chosen to call: A Fine Line. Keep in mind that this is a very small piece of a very long story. The story will be segments like these and also about Twilight discovering other alternative universes.

    The bit below is unedited, and unpolished.

    Choices to make. Halp

    Alrighty, as the title implies, I have a choice to make. I have about 7 different stories I want to write, while DiE is still going strong for, as it turns out, I've gotten some more time on my hands. For the next week, I'll be trying to find out which of the stories to write. And I would like you guys help choosing which one.

Choices to make. Halp · 6:01pm Oct 15th, 2016

Alrighty, as the title implies, I have a choice to make. I have about 7 different stories I want to write, while DiE is still going strong for, as it turns out, I've gotten some more time on my hands. For the next week, I'll be trying to find out which of the stories to write. And I would like you guys help choosing which one.

1. I have one about a clever homocidal maniac doing what homocidal maniacs do, in Equestria, while moving to Ponyville. The story itself is inspired by my favorite movie of all time: Silence of the Lambs. It will be about psychology, morals, magical theory, some philosophy, a bit of romance, and it will be dark...and gory. Now, I've already uploaded this one before, but holy moly that was not thought out at all. Now I've gotten some time to chew on the idea and it looks much better.

2. Second, we have a story about Captain GoodGuy. For those of you who are unaware about this, there exists an arc within the MLP comics called Reflections. It takes place where the morals of everyone has shifted and our friendly main 6 goes to help them out. I recommend you check out the arc, it is quite good.

The story itself centers around Captain GoodGuy, Discord's superhero alter ego, in this alternative universe and how it is all put together. This story explores old wounds, adventure, comedy, dramatic weirdness, alternative reality, and some dark moments.

3. Here we have one I've talked about before. It is another WoW crossover story but this one features Illidan Stormrage in the equestrian society.

If I say more, I could very well enter spoiler territory, so I won't say anymore, other than that I've pieced this out for a little over a year. This story features some adventure, romance, a very dark storyline, some comedy from time to time, magical theory, and it all starts from season 1 and progresses to some point I haven't decided yet.

4. And here fourth in the line we are entering DeLancie territory. Imagine John De Lancie(the guy who voices Discord) as a sith with no regards for other people than himself, is immensely strong and joyfully taunting and sarcastic. What you get from that is Alarak, highlord of the Tal'darim, from the Starcraft 2, legacy of the void, campaign.

Who is Alarak? Oh you know, just your average Alien Overlord that comes from a culture that believes strength is all that matters and literally cuts his own people down if he thinks they're weak. Nice guy. Long story short, he crashes and is forced to stick around and messes up a lot of crap. This story includes: Morals, possibly dark plot(and no I'm not talking about a Zecora(Badum tss)), Adventure, destruction, a little gore, comedy and politics.

5. This is one of the more challenging ones(They're all challenging but this one might very well make me bang my head against a wall) as I was inspired to write this by reading a book.

It is about Twilight meeting the personification of Reality itself which changes her life so she is able to peer into other realities through her other reality's eyes. The story is: Dark(I'm starting to sense a theme...), and Random(at least those are the themes I've come up with so far).

6. Okay, grab your plushies, because things are about to get weird. I don't know how the heck I came up with this but here goes. This story is Discord and Daring Do. It is a romance story... Need I say more? Probably? Okay, it is also an adventure story that includes world building, backstories, some random situations, your typical Indiana Jones villains, and a few innuendos. It is about the two meeting each other, hating the snot out of each other and as time goes on it somehow develops.

7. And here we are at the end. This story takes place in the future. Shining Armor has been partially possessed by a spirit which feeds on life energy and must do so to survive. It has driven Shining to do terrible things and has even forced him to leave his wife and child behind, letting them believe he is dead. This story is about: Hardship, morals, a dark story, gore, adventure, some comedy and a lot of heartfelt moments.


Those are my top 7 choices for stories I want to make. Strangely it is near impossible for me to write oneshots, othervise I'd like to make some of those. But for me it is apparently 50k words+ or nuffin. Currently, I am also rewriting/remaking my other stories(with exception of DiE) so no, they're not dead. Now I leave the choices to you, dear readers. What story would you like me to attempt to write and why? Please comment below so I can get a picture of what people want. I have some samples ready from every story(1-2 chapters worth of samples, every story), for those who wants a closer look, except number 5. Will have those ready in a few days.

Thank you for reading and have a nice Day/Night, wherever you are in the world:twilightsmile:

I think that Illidan would be an interesting read. Although option five sounds like it would be a fun read as well. Hmmm... I'm going to settle on a story about Illidan.

Most of these sound like they would be an interesting read but in order of appeal I particularly like 5, 7, and 3. I look forward to the previews.
