I basically wrote a one-shot about Pinkie Pie based off of a story I was required to read in high-school. · 3:19pm Nov 22nd, 2013
If you're never read anything by O. Henry, you should. In my opinion, he's the greatest short story writer who has ever lived. As a tribute to his brilliance, I wrote a story based off of (but not dictated by) one of my personal favorites, The Ransom of Red Chief. Yeah, I was one of those kids who liked literary analysis in high school. If you're a writer, odds are you were too. I'm actually going to be taking a class on American literature next semester, but you don't care about that. Have a story!
Two outlaws get more than they bargained for when they kidnap a young Pinkie Pie for ransom.
