Edit my reply mentally, and sub in the word 'crossover' for fanfiction.

Oh and good job with that thread FZ!
Good job? It was derailed into Moon Over June halfway through! (yes I derailed my own thread)
That's actually the second time I derailed my own general into Moon Over June. Heh.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm working on a fanfic right now, I can't come up with a title for it though. Could I get some help?

It's about a cherry-themed farm girl named Cherry Blossom who asks Applejack to help her become a good salespony, and while she's in training becomes infatuated with Big Macintosh.

Clopfic name: Pop the Cherry
Normal fic: The Apprentice Salespony, Apprenticin' Appler, maybe some others.

Speaking of clopfics, there's a couple of good ones on SoFurry Dot Com. I won't provide any specific links though, because last time I did that I got temporarily banned.

The funny thing about that first title is that a pony named Cherry Pop, Cherry Blossom's sister, does make an appearance pretty late in the fanfic. Despite what you might think of that fact, it's not a clopfic, although sex becomes a plot point. Another question is at what level I should describe the sex: a PG-13 "and then they had sex," an R-rated bit of detail, or all-out X-rated description. I was leaning more towards PG-13 or R, but people might like something to clop to in the middle of the story.

The Apprentice Salespony sounds like a good title, thanks for the suggestion.

One last thing: could I post a rough draft to Google Docs and edit it later as a way to have people read previews and give suggestions? I've got the first chapter done, and I really like active feedback on my work as I write it.

Edit: I also need the name of a people-type skill that might be used in both selling things and seducing people for the title of one of the second chapter. Any ideas?

Charm? Persuasion?


Go ahead and put the draft up.

I'd recommend the PG one. I'm not one for clopfics or the like.

As I said, I only have the first chapter done for now.
One thing I have been struggling with is trying to do the accents. Tips on that would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to comment on anything else you see as well.

Liking it. Just a few things.
  • Applejack seems to be a bit quick to accept Cherry Blossom
  • Big Macintosh feels a bit off.
