This NEW list is being kept for posterity's sake. A nice list helps me choose and organize my thoughts as well as help requesters form better ideas. Instead of being vague and unclear like the old list, it will contain a transcript of the entire request conversation! I guess I got a little Twi in me, lel. NOTE: Names and identities (barring my own) will be omitted for anonymity's sake. Details not pertaining to the request will also be omitted. WSTA: Me, Writeslut. RQ: Requester. Name will be kept anonymous 1: Request: Suggestions for upcoming story WSTA: I'm thinking the general story outline could involve Discord swelling up with gas and wandering about, teasing and pestering the pony population with his gassily ballooning body, before he inflates too large and bursts. RQ: how big is he gonna get? WSTA: I'm thinking around room sized RQ: I was thinking big enough to loom up in the air over the city, but whatever you want is good~ WSTA: Y'know what, now that I think about it that could be good. RQ: What if it's contagious? Everypony who gets a faceful of belch turns into a gassy balloon as well WSTA: Maybe. I'll consider it, but I want the story to be more or less centered around Discord. RQ: Well, of course. Just an off-hand line about the victim letting out a fart as Discord wobbles away. RQ: Discord's gas uncontrollably changes whatever it falls upon. WSTA: Okay, I just want to clear something up. I'm not writing a story about how Discord's farts are magical and it does stuff to things. I'm writing a story about how Discord is wandering around Ponyville/Canterlot taking pleasure in teasing random ponies with an expanding belly full of gas. If you want to make a suggestion before I write the story plan in the request list, please have it be focused more around things Discord is doing or ponies he is meeting or where he goes, etc etc. RQ: While some ponies would find it gross or obnoxious, there would probably be a few who would blush at a giant gut expanding with gas. Maybe even one who would purposefully accept the teasing in order to prolong physical contact for as long as possible. So... if that happened, would Discord roll with it, or would he get bored and avoid a pony like that? Does his fun lay only with the teasing, or would he enjoy someone getting into it (or getting off on it)? WSTA: W'll see about something like that SUGGESTIONS CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION 2: Request: Suggestion for upcoming story RQ: The character I would like to see is Princess Luna, her being curious and amazed with how much Discord can expand she decides to help him out by giving him some mentos and colas, thus making him more gassy. Maybe seal his mouth to make his cheeks puff up quite huge and blowing him more much more. WSTA: I definitely want to get Luna in on this action, but I'm not sure how I can fit Luna "helping out"(?) Discord by feeding him cola/mentos" into the context of the story, which would be "Discord arrives in Canterlot Castle intent on teasing the royal sisters with his gas packed belly". Do you think you can reword or explain your idea differently so I can get a handle on what you intend? RQ: Since Discord would be teasing the royal sisters with his gas packed belly, Luna wants to test how much he can actually handle by giving him cola/mentos to reach a more "royalty teasing size", thus reaching a fairly huge size for them. WSTA: Ah, now I understand. This is a nice suggestion altogether, however as I want to keep Discord's gaseous inflation slow and gradual, the coke/mentos inflation will be "temporary", likely burped out later, leaving Discord at the size he was before he ate the coke and mentos. SUGGESTION CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION 3: Request: Suggestion for upcoming story RQ: I have a suggestion, Writeslut. I have figured out the perfect candidates to be "victimised" in Discord's inflatable and gassy antics. When I say "victimised" I don't mean bloating up themselves from Discord's gas being contagious, which I know you don't want in this story, but rather these characters having to undergo the god of chaos' antics, cartoonishly (NOT sadistically) suffering for Discord's entertainment. These characters would so happen to be the upper class ponies Canterlot. Not really anypony specific but just members of the general public Discord runs into in the city. Anyway, the upper class ponies would be great for Discord's fun because their views on how one should act in public would make them perfect targets. Watching Discord engage on such hedonism would be ghastly and horrid to them, reactions of disgust and discomfort Discord would enjoy. Such behaviours Discord would engage on them could include forcefully squishing ponies against his enormous belly against walls, laying on top of his belly while ponies are pinned underneath, letting off his gas (from either or both ends) making ponies comically suffocate (but not to death), forcing ponies to rub his belly, or bouncing his belly on top them like a ball. These actions could occur both if his belly has halted its swelling or while he is inflating. Discord could also question why they must act so snobbish, civilised and boring, teasingly telling them to let go of their ideals and embark on such hedonism as he is commencing, to which they are still not fond of. I would love it if Discord's teasing and pestering includes the stuff above, especially towards the upper class ponies of Canterlot. RQ: I second this idea. Writeslut said he wanted to get Luna (and maybe Celestia) in on this too, so setting it in Canterlot would be a great solution. I mean, it's not like Discord is bound to any one area of Equestria. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it would be better to have him start out in Ponyville, trying to get a rise out of the ponies there, but they have all become so accustom to his antics that they don't really care anymore. They just write it off as, "oh, that's just Discord, doing what he does," and move on with their lives. So he decides to go somewhere where he *can* actually get a reaction: snooty Canterlot. WSTA: I'll do what I can to get that in! SUGGESTION CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION 4: Request: Suggestion for upcoming story RQ: Rarity: Discord goes in to Carousel Boutique to get a fancy new outfit. Rarity is uncomfortable doing this even without the belly thing, but she does it anyway through strained smiles and niceties, knowing that it would be rude and how upset Fluttershy would be if she found out. She takes his measurements, and he insists that she measure his belly, and she struggles to find a measuring tape long enough to wrap completely around him. He waits around while she sews something real quick. When he tries it on, his belly has grown and it doesn't fit, so he makes her measure it again. Repeat as necessary. RQ: Aloe & Lotus: He decides to make a stop at the spa. The whole time he's there, he completely abuses the other ponies at the spa (could be random background ponies, or you could insert named characters, whatever you want), doing things like getting into the confined sauna or bath, smushing them against the sides with his belly, or getting in a mud bath that already has somepony in it, laying on top of them. All the while, asking for the VIP treatment by Aloe & Lotus, massaging his gut, washing his unreachable areas and toweling him off, etc. WTSA: Great ideas! Rarity definitely, Spa-Twins maybe. The idea is not to have him sit in one place for too long and I doubt the Spa-twins would put up with more than one treatment, yet it's such a good idea that I'm going to have to include it in some form at least. Thank you! SUGGESTION CONFIRMED FOR INCLUSION 5: Request: Suggestion for upcoming story RQ: i feel like applejack would quickly get fed up with discord, bucking him away, causing him to squish into the trees SUGGESTION INCOMPLETE 6: Request: New story suggestion RQ: Don't suppose you'd be interested in Sonata getting inflated and gassy due to tacos? WSTA: That's a definite possibility for a quick story. Got anything to add to your request? Specific actions, interactions, etc? RQ: Hmm, might have it be Adagio feeding her and playing with her while she bloats, then enjoying her bloated, floating sister. Keep Sonata ditzy, but not absurdly so; she does have an idea of what's happening to her. Oh, and Sonata's gotten rather pudgy. REQUEST CONSIDERED 7: Request: New story suggestion RQ: The idea is a version of the Alicorn Amulet episode in which Trixie's take over of the town becomes much puffier than before. For example, rather than trapping the mayor in a cage, she's stuck in a bubble. Trixie would create a bounce-house castle for her to rule over ponyville from. Dash could be filled with helium, Rarity could be stuck in squeaky dresses/other clothes. It would end either with Trixie ruling over Ponyville, or her and Twilight having the magic duel in which Trixie's magic backfires and inflates her. If you like the idea, I have a few more specifics I can share and we can toss ideas around for the others. I was thinking each of the Mane 6 receive some kind of puffing. Applejack's farm could have everything turn rubber, maybe the barn inflating into a balloon and carrying Applejack away inside it? Fluttershy could be invited to tea by Trixie, who then either conjures up or turns into a giant teapot to fill Fluttershy full of tea with. Pinkie, whatever happens to her, is thoroughly enjoying the puffing. Perhaps Trixie tries to fill her with something heavy like water to keep her grounded, but Pinkie just loves how sloshy it is. I do like the idea of somepony's belly sloshing around to tug them in different directions or squishing in on them (Think Templeton's weight gain in Charlotte's Web if you've seen that). I didn't have much in mind for what happens specifically at the duel, Twilight could create the goal of each pony inflating another to see who can make them bigger. Twilight can choose anypony, and Trixie (being boastful) lets Twilight pick the other victim. The victim could perhaps have some kind of charm or several shiny mirror like jewelry that causes Trixie's spells to rebound until she's inflated (or pops harmlessly, with the amulet flying off). Perhaps with Rarity's puffing, Trixie commissions (or more likely demands) her to make Trixie a gown, but doesn't think it's good enough, so she turns it to rubber/latex and inflates it around Rarity. REQUEST CONSIDERED 8: Request: New story suggestion RQ: based on the Fluttershy suit Discord wears briefly in an episode: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2c/c2/a9/2cc2a9f0d8bb61dbc3a4908e257aa0ef.png It would involve Discord in the suit inflating himself in town as some means of teasing/humiliating Fluttershy. Despite how obvious you would think that it's Discord in the suit, nopony (except Fluttershy) realizes it's not Discord, and all think it's really Fluttershy inflating herself. Fluttershy would then stumble across the scene, and everypony becomes briefly confused at the two Fluttershys. Fluttershy attempts to convince ponies she's the real one, at some point mentioning that she is "not that fat/puffy". Discord takes this opportunity to rectify this, and inflates Fluttershy instead. He ends up inflating her "too much", making her bigger than him, so he inflates himself, but is then bigger than her, back and forth until either they pop, or simply end on the hint of how big they might end up getting. Not many more details beyond what I've already said. I think it might be fun if it's a bit unclear if it's actually Discord or the suit inflating (it could be both, but just little details like the seams straining and fluff poking out of some of the slightly torn ones). I was imagining Discord is thoroughly enjoying becoming such a swollen spectacle for the onlookers, while Fluttershy is simply embarrassed by the whole ordeal. When they're smaller, maybe he could do some simple things like bouncing his puffy rear into hers, or teleporting her to balance on top of his bouncy belly. The onlookers could get involved in some way if you want, but I think it'd be easier if they're mostly just watching and trying to figure out which is real and which isn't. REQUEST CONSIDERED 9: Request: New story suggestion RQ: I guess something pertaining to maybe inflation or weight gain involving one of the Royal Guards would be nice to see. I was thinking of some sort of log a guard stationed at a quarantine area filled with expanding ponies would work, but that's only if you'd like it! WSTA: Sounds like a great idea! If you can give me a few more details on what you'd like to see in the story, I'll add it to the list of possible future stories! RQ: Inflation would definitely be in there, possibly blueberry. Not sure what else to have since I just came up with the idea today! WSTA: Well, I meant more along the lines of specific thing happening in the story, like how the guard has to occasionally calm down some unfortunate bloating pony or even become so curious as to intentionally infect himself. Stuff like that. RQ: Those two ideas seem good enough to include. Maybe the guard ends up inflating himself when he ends up getting sick from, say, drinking the water and ends up hearing that whatever is causing the sudden outbreak of inflating ponies is spreading by water. REQUEST CONSIDERED 10: Request: Suggestion for upcoming story RQ: Hmm, I'm a fan of non-popping myself. Also, could Discord imply that he wants to share the experience of inflating with Fluttershy, either by puffkissing with her or giving her what he has? If it does end up happening in some form or another, Her enjoying it is a must. Awesome! Will Discord also get big puffed up pecs? WS: Perhaps I can work that in. Yes. SUGGESTION CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION 11: Request: New story suggestion RQ: How about a story of Pinkie Pie getting put in an inflatable suit and then Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Appledash, Spike and Princess Celestia fill her suit altogether to planetary proportions to the point of bursting? WS: That sounds like a fun way to ease myself off my hiatus! It'll probably be along the shorter lines though. You've piqued my interest, but now you have to seal the deal. What other kinda stuff would you like to see in the short? What kind of inflatable suit? RQ: Okay. The suit is pink and its shape is a circle. The biggest part of the suit is the belly. As it inflates, it becomes a sphere. Pinkie is enjoying the suit inflation and she is flailing her arms playful as she tells the others to keep filling her suit until it explodes. WS: Okay! Thank you! REQUEST CONSIDERED 12: Request: New story suggestion RQ: Pinkie Pie blowing a massive bubble gum bubble that can be seen from space? WS: Hmm, well I recently got a request via note that involves Pinkie and a planet-size inflatable suit. So maybe not Pinkie And while bubble blowing isn't really for me, I'll give it a shot. Along with a change of character, any other details for me? RQ: how about zecora blowing the massive bubble instead of pinkie and she is doing it in the middle of a clearing deep in everfree forest as she is looking for ingredients for a new potion WS: I like it! Alright! REQUEST CONSIDERED 13: Request: New story suggestion RQ: Hmm maybe pinkie pie stuffing twilight with sweetsas she becomes a big fat slob? WS: Okay! good premise, but now I need to know some specifics. what would you like along those lines? RQ: Have to as she feeds twilight that she becomes hungry for more and gets all messy. Pinkie offers a cake she made and soon twilight wants more of it. Twilight becomes as big as a car and pinkie is enjoying snuggling against twilights fatness. Twilight belches and farts as she eats. It ends with twilight thanking pinkie abd then they kiss and snuggle. WS: Okay! thank you! REQUEST CONSIDERED 14: Request: New story suggestion RQ: Forced into Slobby hedonism Rarity is always fun. WS: Gotta give a few specifics! RQ: Maybe a backfired hypnosis session with Twilight to help her lose those stubborn holiday pounds? WS: Hmm, I'll give it a whirl!
