Will there be a section for readers or fans to submit their own stories inspired by Azalea’s books?
There already is! The Fan Works page is on her website is here: Link.
PGTS has inspired quite a bit of art, but only a couple of fanfics. Please tell me you’ve written something - I would love to read it, and I know Azalea would be over the moon! She loves fanfics, and would be so happy to post more on her website.
If you’ve created something and want to share it directly with her, first, you can submit it at author@azaleaellis.com
However, if you want to share directly with everyone on the forum or get group feedback, you’re welcome to post it in the Practical Discussion section. (Or the Seeds of Discovery section, if it’s a SOC fic.)
I do love fanfics!!
If you or anyone writes one, post it in the Practical Discussion/Seeds of Discovery/etc category for now. If we get a handful of them going, we could start a new section just for fan works and move everything there.
And I’ll link to the thread here from my main website so that more people are likely to see it.

Is there a character limit to these posts? Asking before i try to post what i just wrote and have it butchered by the forum software.

I’m checking. Feel free to start a thread and post, though, and I’ll let Azalea know it’s here - unless you want to email her. We’re both excited to read it!
i put it up on AO3 for convenience.

I already PMed you, but I’m bumping this because it’s great, and I think more people will want to read it. Go read it, everyone!!
Is it cool if I link to this from the main website, too?

Sure!
… do you have any plans for writing a Thaddeus Lacer spinoff series set during the Haze War, or should i be working on that in my copious free time?

No plans, thanks, just wondering about possibilities.
i wrote a second chapter. It’s up on AO3 with the first one.
Now i just need to buckle down and start with how Lacer ends up in the Haze War …

I like it.
Waiting for the next book made me crazy enough that I’ve started writing my own story for fun. I’m normally not a fan-fiction sort of writer.
Any suggestions? Why did you put it up at AO3, and were there any other places you considered?

The only places i know to post are basically AO3, fanfiction.net, or Wattpad. The last one left a bad taste in my mouth when i was a more prolific writer; ff.net is super old, finicky, and goes down often.
Of course, if you could figure out a way to make it crossover with My Little Pony, you could post it to FimFiction.net which is an awesomely built site, but only allow stories that include ponies to be posted.

Omfg, can you imagine a crossover of this and mlp:fim
Im thinking starlight over detrot or foe:equestria. Level of fanfic…
Maybe an aberrant event that creates alternate universes from other shows
I’m just coming back to see if anyone has written a Thaddeus Lacer in the Haze War/MLP fic. Anyone? Please?
My Little Ponies get stuck in a twister and end up transported into Siobhan’s universe, and they frolic through the Black Wastes and become the key to winning the Haze War. Lenore, being completely unwilling to dedicate the victory to a trio of ponies named Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight, hand out war hero medals to the human thaumaturges and rewrite history so effectively that the ponies are completely forgotten 40 years later.
Lacer eventually realizes that friendship really is magic, which is a harder pill for him to swallow than his nasty wakefulness potion, and he captures the ponies and performs dark experiments on them to harvest their magic.
Or, something even weirder. Make it weird.

Yeah, a plot like this:
There’s a new Red Guard agent—Lacer—who is tasked to discover: are the ponies Aberrants? Is their call to friendship a rampant magical effect that they are trying to spread to the unsuspecting residents of Lenore? When his dark experiments with pony parts reveal that the magic of firendship can be brought forth from Moondancer’s severed horn, will he keep this secret with his fellow Red Gaurd Agents, or will he share that magic with the world?
This is 100% why the Red Guard no longer trusts him BTW, and it’s canon.

I think one of the main reasons why i like FO:E and SoD is that it takes place so far after the show that the main 6 are easter eggs.
I think what might work best for this series cross over is there is either a magical portal that lets someone go to equestria or there is an island with senitant barn animals who have some of the most interesting forms of magic. Some just seem to be naturally strong and grounded, the ones horns seem to be able to free cast, is there horns thier conduit? and for crying out loud, some of them have wings that can fly and are actually what are controlling hte weather? at least around them?>
actually that could be a tie in on how the cross over happens. we know that magic listens to those with strong wills. Can you imagine if a brand new book series talks about a magic island with these ponies and enough spell caster children just willed it into existence?
from what I understand of the magic, that is entirely possible to do. Now… chaos happens, like nightmare moon or discord, and yeah, now some of hte red guard have to go figure out wtf to with them.
I am not in a head space to try to write this out… but i think this would be a great way to start it.
Damn, I don’t know why I need this, but I now need a story where Lacer attempts to open a portal to the plane of radiance and somehow accidentally opens a portal to the Pink Pony Club, the fictional gay club from the Chappell Roan song, and there meets some actual pink ponies from My Little Pony, learning the value of finding community, but also somehow ending up developing his own cutie mark, which becomes the focus of his magical research.
Give me that messy, weird, free-association-based, multiple crossover fanfiction that probably has an awkward self-insert somewhere.
I haven’t read that kind of thing in a long, long time, didn’t realize that I needed it, and wouldn’t even know how to go about finding it for any media I still have any connection to, but I’m nostalgic for that kind of a peak into the chaos of someone’s brain.

I started a rumor that this is canononical, so it definitely is. 
PS - please someone write this!

HIS CUTIE MARK
Oh I’m definitely going to die from laughter. A fic with my favorite song from this year, MLP, and Lacer getting stuck with a cutie mark is the best possible crossover I can imagine.
Please, please, please, someone has to write this. I don’t have the time or necessary skill.
