Some Applejack fanfics might be set in an alternate universe. Maybe in a world where Applejack has to learn a new type of farming technique from a far - off land. This would not only test her adaptability but also show how she can bring new ideas back to her family's farm in Equestria.
It could be about ponies in a post - apocalyptic world. Maybe they are facing challenges like finding food, shelter, and dealing with new and dangerous threats. It might also involve the ponies trying to restore some form of order or community in the chaos.
I really like 'The Avengers in Equestria' which is a part of 'mlp fim crossover fanfiction'. It has the Avengers characters somehow transported to the world of My Little Pony. It's full of action and also shows how the ponies and the superheroes deal with their differences and work together. It's a fun read for fans of both franchises.
There's this fanfic called 'The End of an Era'. It's set in a post - apocalyptic Equestria. The ponies are trying to rebuild their world, but they keep facing setbacks. The bittersweet nature lies in their hope in the face of so much destruction.
Friendship is a very common theme, just like in the original show. Many fanfics explore the relationships between the ponies and how they overcome difficulties through friendship. Another common theme is magic. Since magic is an important part of the MLP FIM world, fanfics often involve ponies using magic in different ways.
A great fanfic is 'The Secret Lives of Background Ponies'. This one explores the hidden talents and dreams of the background ponies. For example, one pony who is always seen carrying baskets around actually has a passion for painting. The fanfic shows that even though they are in the background, they have rich inner lives full of hopes and desires.
Typically, the main characters would include the Power Ponies themselves. These are ponies with special powers. There might also be some recurring villains that play a major role in driving the story forward.
One popular MLP Spa Ponies fanfic could be 'Spa Day Shenanigans'. It might involve the ponies having all sorts of comical adventures during a day at the spa. Another could be 'The Secret of the Spa Ponies' which could explore some hidden lore about these ponies. And there's also 'Spa Ponies and the Magic Treatment' that might focus on a special treatment with magical effects.
One great fim mlp fanfic could be those that explore the backstories of the main characters in more depth. For example, a fanfic might focus on Twilight Sparkle's early days at the School for Gifted Unicorns, detailing her struggles and how she overcame them to become the princess we know. Another interesting type could be the ones that create new adventures for the Mane Six, like a journey to a far - off and mysterious land in Equestria that has never been explored before.
