Not I.
So, as I mentioned a while back, I’ve been wanting to write some episode-style
Original Flavor fics, and have been toying with the idea of writing a
Whole Plot Reference to
And Then There Were None (titled
Ten Little Ponies, natch) both for fun, and as an aversion to all the grimdark stuff, but I’m stuck in the planning stages due to a few crucial problems.
Namely, the murders. Coming up with nine or ten G-Rated ways to represent the ponies “dying” is pretty tough. I’ve got a few ideas, such as getting caught by a trapdoor or apparently falling off of a cliff (including, of course, a miniature figurine of that character being mysteriously broken as they vanish), but I’m largely drawing blanks. I’d rather not have characters just consistently “go missing, ” since that seems rather passive.
Also, I’m not sure about who I want to involve. Right now, my current plan is to have the mane cast, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Big Mac, but I’m not really feeling the CMC and Mac much, so I’m trying to think of other possible canon characters to replace them with. Spike and Zecora are out, though, since they’re not ponies. Plus, the ability to magically send a letters to Celestia could become rather
Deus ex Machina-esque.
So, yeah. Any thoughts? Would anyone even been interested in reading this?
EDIT: Ugh, my posts keep turning into walls of text. I need to stop being so verbose.
