        @redtie I had another idea, although it again falls into the prequel category

            @redtie need to sort out details, but I wanna write the 'Ditzy Doo Chronicles'

              @tenmihara its difficult to have a character who doesn't talk. how'd you work around that? Also giving her a personality that the fans of MLP or FO:E will agree with would be hard.

                @redtie Obviously the loss of her tongue would be in there, but that incident occurred (according to Calamity) 30-40 years before Littlepip left Stable 2. There's still another 160 years of stories for her before that. Also I've written Ditzy Doo before =P

                  @tenmihara you have a good point. So any ideas for what might hook readers?

                    @redtie Obviously the story wouldn't feature everything in the 200 year span, but I have the idea to frame it like a book written by Ditzy herself. A few short stories surrounding major incidents, presumably starting with the destruction of Cloudsdayle

                      @tenmihara good idea. having it disjointed like that will give you more literary freedom to have whatever events you want. What should happen is that even though most of the events seem disconnected from each other...slowly let evidence pile up that its all connected somehow.

                        @redtie Interesting. The last story would probably be the incident that landed her in Ponyville, where she was rescued by Littlepip. The Wasteland Survival Guide should definitely be featured as well

                          @tenmihara iam hoping to bump up the comedy in my FO:E fic. It should be good practise for me when it comes to writing characters.

                            @redtie Perhaps. Oh! I got it! All of the little stories should be leading up to the creation of the Guide!

                              @tenmihara AHAH good move. infact use some of the Fallout 3 quests relating to the book for some good story ideas.

                                @redtie Precisely what I was thinking. Let's see... Radiation, injury, scavenging, dealing with wildlife, mines, Wasteland History, Pre-War Technology, Libraries/Knowledge. I'll need something to replace Mirelurks, but there's lots of potential there

                                  @tenmihara wasn't there already something in the FO:E plot that were like mirelurks?

                                    @redtie Not that didn't already fall into the Wildlife category methinks

                                      @tenmihara i think big as smutated turltes could be the mirelurks you need.

                                        @redtie Perhaps. There may also be Equestria specific stuff she could touch on. Taint maybe
