In the wake of the Season 5 finale, I don't think I'm the only one fantasizing about the deluge of fanfictions that are to come from all the alternate timelines created for us writers to work with. I mean, there's the Sombra timeline, the Chrysalis timeline, Nightmare Moon timelines, and heck, even if Tirek, Discord and Flim and Flam's were only brief I'm sure a story could be spun out of them with the right amount of dedication and imagination.
For me, the Sombra and Chrysalis are some of the most rich in fanfiction. With Sombra's, think of all the war stories of canon and OC characters and how their lives have been affected/ruined by the grueling war they know they're losing; the oppression of the Crystal Ponies who are forced to fight a war and slaughter their fellow ponies, all aware of what they're doing as they do it; and not to mention stories about the Big S Stallion himself!
Now Chrysalis' timeline, now this is where it gets juicy. Remember, while Sombra is still trying to take over Equestria, in Chrysalis' world, she pretty much already has. Canterlot and the rest of Equestria could be compared to Nazi-occupied Paris and Europe, with possibly only Zecora's group the only resistance there is left. Like above, there are so many stories that could be written alone on the lives of ponies living under Chrysalis' brutal, fascist apartheid regime, be it those in Zecora's rebel alliance or the average pony suffer from daily systematic abuse and draining from their changeling oppressors, constantly looking over their shoulder for the changeling government's disguised spies who'll come for them or their loved ones in the dead of night if they say so much as a single word against the new regime. Or hell, since so many fans despise the Upper-Class ponies of Canterlot, you could describe it great detail those who've had everything they had stripped of them or those who've become collaborators to Chrysalis and betrayed their own kind to save their skins, along with other less patriotic ponies or those just trying to survive. And let's not forget all the changelings who've prospered and grown fat on love and their new privileged positions, taking delight in abusing and spitting on the ponies who are powerless to do anything to stop them.
Or perhaps a story explaining how Zecora emerged as leader of the resistance and her new Sonic-Robotnik rivalry with Chrysalis (considering this timeline is basically a pony version of Sonic SatAm).
Okay, so those are my lengthy ideas. Let's hear yours, folks, see what potential future stories we can cook up in our discussions.

MLP G5 Movie: A New Generation Discussion
I'll just come out and say it: I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. No foolin'. Yeah, the plot didn't exactly reinvent the wheel and I imagine the animation will be an acquired taste, but I found myself truly impressed by the writing, the endearing characters and even the songs. I'm actually considering watching it again. Who knows? Maybe this will breathe new life into the franchise and fandom, as well as potentially refine on G4. What say you?
Problems portraying the Pony-Changeling Conflict.
With the conflict canonically at an end with Thorax in charge and friendly relations established between the two nations, I look back on hundreds of pre-October 2016 stories and even those now with 'AU' tags and wonder how the fandom has portrayed the conflict between these two nations. I do like how Wikipedia describes it as a 'Cold War', which I think is pretty apt when you think about it. Equestira and the Changeling Queendom/Kingdom/Hive/Pack/Empire (Man, there's been a lot of different descriptions) have been at loggerheads on and off for hundreds of years, the latter being the aggressor in every flare up. So with that in mind, there are really two problems I see come up regularly when I read fanfiction tackling this: 'Both Sides': Ya see... I don't have a problem with this in principle. Looking at both sides of a conflict is really interesting and makes for good stories. The big problem, however, is just that... there really isn't. If you go strictly by canon information, the
Death of Chrysalis (original journal version)
Based on the 2017 hit satirical black-comedy, Death of Stalin. Set in an alternative future where Chrysalis was never toppled from her throne, when the tyrannical monarch suddenly dies of a cerebral hemorrhage, her legions of parasitic offspring square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Hive ruler. Among the contenders are the ill-prepared, slow-on-the-uptake heir apparent Imago, the wily Bullet Ant and Domino -- the sadistic scientist turned secret police chief. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains -- just who the buck is running the Hive?

After seeing that season final I think what they have done is made every fan fiction in the world right. If you think about each fan fiction taking place in a different reality.
