"Tales of Equestria" Bookshelf 617 stories
  • "Tales of Equestria" Bookshelf 617 stories - 1330 unread chapters There's no doubt that fans of the show have created an immense amount of material and stories for MLP. While that is awesome, some stories may inspire others in other mediums. Since there's an official Tabletop RPG for MLP FiM, I figure gathering some stories to try to inspire others should be here. This bookshelf features stories (whether complete or incomplete) that I think should be read for the purpose of inspiration for a "Tails of Equestria" campaign, since there aren't more than a handful of official campaigns/adventures from the "official" source. These stories could either have an idea that could spark a great campaign story, be converted to a campaign setting or mystery, or are just so funny that the situations might be fun to play in. Maybe there is a story where you stop mad ponies from hurting another creature, or stopping a pony from making an army and taking over Equestria. (Again.) Maybe a new species was just discovered, and your characters could go on adventures with it. Maybe you could have the mirror actually play a role in your version of Equestria, and the players could visit a story as an "alternate dimension". Maybe a story here has some well thought out morals that could be used to teach younger players. Or maybe some stories here are not that great for ToE games. Maybe you could get some inspiration from the animated show, comics and books as well; some stories that are not written as well, needed a rewrite or seemed like characters in some roles could've been replaced with anyone else, could easily make that story pure tabletop campaign material. Whatever the case, feel free to peruse and read this library. However, don't take EVERY story/story beat and force yourself turn each chapter into one-for-one campaign acts, (while some "adults" play this tabletop rpg, at least a few of these stories might touch on some adult topics/points not PG/lower) but if even a bit of inspiration was given to you from this, then this bookshelf did its job.

  • Good, but Canceled Stories Bookshelf 24 stories - 0 unread chapters Good stories that have been canceled.


  • Good Stories With No Updates in A LONG Time 98 stories - 104 unread chapters Some good stories have talented writers, but life, among other things, can keep a writer from putting their story into a good ending. These are stories that are incomplete, sometimes NOT marked on Hiatus, with no updates for the past 4 to 6 months or more. I am NOT saying that the authors should IMMEDIATELY drop everything and finish these pieces of work. All I am saying is that these stories are pretty good, but readers should beware since these stories are incomplete, and therefore, have no ending, so reading these stories may include a feeling of abruptness to them. I will attempt to update this as much as I can, but be warned, I am not on this site all the time, so I may not know that a story has always been updated.


  • Favorite Lovecraft Stories 29 stories From the popular Elder God Cthulhu to just the idea of madness, these are some of my favorite stories with Lovecraftian themes in them.

  • The Wonderbolts are Getting Better 39 stories The Wonderbolts have NOT been portrayed as a good role model in the show. From "Rainbow Falls" with Spitfire and Fleetfoots betrayal to Soarin & possible cheating of the Friendship Games, to "Rarity Investigates" when the Wonderbolts accused Rainbow Dash of tricking Spitfire to leaving the airshow, it's not painting the Wonderbolts into a nice picture. As such, not everybody likes this military branch, and don't believe the characters when they say they learned their lesson or are a force that helps defend Equestria from hostile forces. However, they have been viewed as of late, not like jerks, or bullies, or incompetent military personnel. Whether it be stories that have the wonderbolts learn their lesson the hard way, stories with a slightly different ending, or complete rewrites of episodes involving the Wonderbolts, these fics are ones that portray the Wonderbolts in a better light than most of the episodes depicted them as. Because, hey, nobody's perfect, but at the very least, we can hope that they can improve someday.






  • This is how to "fix" the episodes. 211 stories I understand how the title of this shelf looks, but hear me out. Some episodes were average, some were boring, some were near flawless gems, some were absolute %$&@#* BONKERS! (Best way to describe it in as few words as possible.) I understand that this show is not meant to be taken seriously, but when you are working on a show that primarily deals in morals, or tries to teach lessons to children, you have to try, just TRY, your best to not mess up on what you say and what you MEAN to say. I understand that people make mistakes, but if Gravity Falls can go through an entire series without a bad episode, then you could try to do a little more work here. This shelf is primarily towards fics that try to "fix" said episodes. Whether it's just changing the ending, presenting a different characters POV of the same situation, a complete rewrite of the episode or writing a side story to explain terrible implications, it tries showing how another take can change things (hopefully) for the better. I'll try to include episodes where the viewers "unanimously" decreed that it was terrible. However, some stories have multiple chapters & cover multiple episodes, and some episodes, like I just said, weren't all that bad. Maybe you like an episode that was covered here. Just know that it's just another opinion/a different take on the same subject, so don't worry too much; if the cannon of the entire G4 is so wibbly-wobbly, that the comics, books and even SOME OF THE VERY EPISODES THEMSELVES can be considered "not-canon" if they have conflicting information, then you can just pick and choose whatever "fix" you like better, and run with it. Who knows, maybe you could use these rewrites as inspiration for characters to take part in "Tales of Equestria", as a much closer way that that particular episode probably should have been portrayed. Don't stress out too much from these shows mistakes and the people who made them; just learn from them and try to avoid them in your own work.

  • Ultimate Sweetie Bot Fic Idea Folder 10 stories I believe that if you combine some of the ideas in this folder, you may have the workings of the ultimate Sweetie-bot story. Take the ideas of a backstory of how Sweetie Bot works internally from "Sweetie Bot - A Hearth's Warming Tale", the side stories/sequels from that fic, as well as "Flesh and Blood", and the twist that Sweetie and her robot double can exist from the canceled "My Sister, The Robot", adding or removing possible points from some of the other fics in this folder as well. Then again, that's just my imagination. ;-P

Have you ever seen a pony that just seemed out of place? Perhaps some mannerism, some behaviour that just struck you as odd? Some piece of clothing that didn't seem quite right? perhaps a coat or mane whose colour just seemed flat-out weird. A strange build, a strange voice, or maybe they were perfectly normal, except that you swear you just saw the exact same pony not five seconds ago somewhere completely different?

Of course you have. Everypony has encountered an Outsider at some point. But never up close, it's always at a distance, and they're always gone before you have the chance to challenge them.


But sometimes the rules get broken. Sometimes fate gets distracted for a moment, and a lone unicorn mare gets to see something that she was never meant to see.

Twilight Sparkle's day is about to get very weird.

Special Thanks go to Horizon for initial proof-reading, editing, and signal-boosting, provided as a prize for spotting an Easter egg in his story Hard Reset II. Seriously, it's an awesome, brain-warping story and you should go read it right now.

Thanks also go to my editors for putting up with my atrocious grammar and spelling errors - Ganelon, Ephraim Blue, BronyWhooves, Commonancestry, Princess Autumn Forest, and Morning Sun

Cover art credit goes to EMedina13 and tamalesyatole. I am looking for more appropriate art, so If you think you can do better, let me know.
