tl;dr: People want a SSADL sequel. Why should I bother?
Sunny Skies essentially is an exploration of Celestia's loneliness and escape from responsibility. Being in the wonderful pony world, the story was sweet and endearing and everything was nice and peachy.
And no sequel should be made if you want it to stay that way.
Because the only path of exploration left for Sunny Skies is adventure. A "The Prince and the Pauper" type story where Celestia is essentially going under cover, discovering the wrongs of pony society and helpless to right them until the big reveal. This would be a big tone shift from the original. And possibly dark, dark enough to dampen the sweetness of SSADL itself.
edit: But if we were to keep the basics of SSADL, and instead shift focus away from celestia, it might be possible for a sweet sequel of sorts. Though I think it would be weaker. Something like Luna going under cover, or Cadance, or.... Blueblood? That last one could be an extremely absurd comedy.
Double edit: Actually, Luna seems more like the type to go under cover to right the wrongs of pony society. I would go then with a light-hearted and maybe comedic adventure of LUNA in disguise.

Well, strictly speaking, it's a only medium tank, smaller than either of the two previous ones, (a sort of T-72-equivilent), and the other one will be a VTOL.

Well, if it's a med tank and a VTOL (VTOL tank? I think the term is "gunship".), then I second Applebloom and Scootaloo. It won't do to have AJ be the theme for a comparatively weak attack vehicle.

I wonder, what formats will it work with? Can I tea the fanfics on a kindle? D&D books? Does it have a writing function, a note pad?
Except the old game boys were made of Nintendium and Kindles are not. Also I've had two chargers fall apart on me. Still like the thing though.

No, I'm pretty sure he's really undead. As in, all of his bodies have been in an advanced state of decay undead.

I get the subtle impression we should do something to put a stop to the cult's activities.
Don't worry, I'm well ahead of you. In order to maintain Charnel's leadership position, and thus her control of the cult, Nightcore has had to neglect rectifying her cultists combustibility. Hence, I've decided to deploy some of my latest creations.

Well, I needed a vechicle to project soundwaves able to counter Nightcore's sonic magic, and it seemed appropriate under the circumstances.

Well, since the Jalyrkieon's primary weapons are phased-plasma weapons, being primarily heat related, and this is armoured combat we're talking about they can sort of do the former, technically...

Well part of character exploration comes from interaction. Different people bring out different sides of yourself. In Sunny Skies Celestia only spent time with the Mane 6 for a scene each and didn't really get to know them. She also spent the bulk of it avoiding Pinkie Pie. I think there's still ground untread there.

You shouldn't bother. If you don't have an idea or the motivation to do so then whatever sequel you make will be of poor quality. If they want to see a sequel so badly then they should write one themselves. Or write a series using the same concept.

Well, if it's any consolation, RD had a starship aaaages back, and Zecora's colour scheme doesn't lend itself to the job at hand; neither black nor white are ideal for working on (the former is okay on some bits, but not for the basic hull colour.)

^This.
If you don't have a good idea or concept for a sequel, then don't worry about it. Better to let your work end on a high note than drag it out with a low-quality sequel.

Disingenuous. We were just talking about things which defied existence but persisted, we're we not?
Regardless. I'm not being eviscerated, nor apologized to. I would have thought I'd have earned one or the other by now! I guess I'll stop indignantly trying to get myself killed.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Ugh. This is taking forever.
Anyway, to chime in on a sequel to a Fic I haven't read, I'm going to agree with Alabenson. If you don't feel it, don't Fic it.
But that said, from what I can tell, I imagine there would be plenty of scope for a sequel, should you want to write one.

Also feel free to help make the description below better. I want it to draw people's attention and make them want to read the story. It feels maybe a little wordy right now.
