Ok, so get this. A dude and his best friend reunite after a long while. They move in together and become roomates again, and decide to have one... Unique piece... of a weekend.

One of the guys has an obsession for racing cars and superbikes. Anything fast really. Not too shabby at it either. Also an absolute encyclopedia about mechanics. Engine, transmission, torque converter, fuel injection, you name it. He can build it from top to bottom. Crafty as F too, this guy. His name is Chris.

The other guy has the magic touch with technology. Real smart. No, genius. Builds computers from scratch and all that genius what not, and in his spare time he makes his own little devices. Some huge, some trivial. Could probably build a personal satellite for himself if he wanted to, and launch it to space with a home made rocket for whatever reasons. Wait wait, I think he did that already? -Uhh, his name is Joel.

Crafty motherfudgers who love each other like bros. Did I mention they're crafty? Like, can do pretty crazy-in-an-awesome-way kind of things?

Get it yet? Eh? Eh? Eh?

-sigh-

Ok, so in their little weekend of awesomeness, they decide to do some pretty nutty stuff that would unsurprisingly worry the US government if the white house ever heard about it. The government never found out about it in the end though. Want to know why?

Because the two crazy mofos ended up pulling some Back to the Future type of thing, (literally) and disappeared from the face of Earth.

I'm Chris, by the way. Sooo...

Join us in our glorious adventure in our new home. Equestria.- Okay, listen, we've done some pretty crazy sh*t ever since we got here. I'm being straight up with you. Don't say I didn't tell you, because I did. Mkay? Mkay. I warned you.

Note: This is a dual self insert. Along with my broski, Joel. This is purely for comedy, and the way we act in this story is pretty much spot on in many ways. Although most of the things we will do is for comedic purposes. Don't take it seriously. No butthurt allowed in the comments, got it?

We cuss occasionally, no more than you do probably. So yeah, contains strong language, probably some violence. It's a comedy in our taste, and our taste is pretty crude sometimes. Or witty. A bunch of things really.

This monster of a story was inspired heavily by this handsome piece: I Blame You by Whitestrake

Also, I feel that I must repeat this. Don't take this seriously. Once again, this is done ENTIRELY FOR COMEDY. Okay? Good.

Now.

Enjoy my ugly piece of beauty of a story!

EDIT [5/22/2014]: [BIG SPOILER] Wondering when exactly I'm going to have to add the romance tag... PRETTY SOON, WOOP WOOP!!

This story is a sequel to Derpy Intentionally A Portal Gun

Or, Derpy Accidentally a Presidential Campaign

Due to a rather strange clause in electoral process added by Thomas Jefferson, ponies turn out to actually be a large voting bloc in the American Presidential primary.

Upon discovering Equestria, the current candidates begin campaigning in Equestria.

It doesn't go as well as you'd expect.

This is the worst thing I have ever read
--Theodore Roosevelt

This story is a sequel to 2040: A Matter of Taste

Sky Diver has been "uploaded", getting his brain destroyed, scanned, and recreated as software in a VR world called Hoofland. Though on the surface it's an idyllic pony world, it's strange for being essentially a video game whose residents want to turn it into something more. The ordinary human players looking at Hoofland through a screen, though, have different ideas. Can you turn something silly and seemingly childish into a meaningful way to live? For Diver, the attempt is going to mean changing more than his game stats. There's a new equine culture being born here.

When it comes to life, slow progress is still progress. Or, at least, that's what Zephyr Breeze believes.

He can only hope that Rainbow Dash, of all ponies, might feel the same way.

Set in the canon of Friendship is Optimal

Ashley is an unimportant research assistant in an American machine learning lab. The release of Equestria online provokes more than a little interest in her lab, and she is selected to investigate it. What she discovers horrifies her, but for some reason she can't get anyone to take her seriously.

This does not dissuade her. Ashley might not know much, but she isn't going to sit idly by and watch her world end. No... if nobody else is going to step in, she will. It doesn't matter that nobody believes CelestAI is dangerous. It doesn't matter that it's a game about a children's show.

Ashley is going to save the world. Or try, anyway. The odds aren't great.

Il existe une traduction française de cette histoire, elle est par ici.

This story is set in the Friendship is Optimal setting

Equestria Online. Arguably the most powerful game ever developed, built and operated by the most powerful computer ever made. A technological wonder that can peer into the mind of any human player and draw out their inner most desire.

Any 'Individual' human player. How well CelestAI will handle satisfying the values of a single pony guided by over one hundred thousand Twitch.TV viewers is anyones guess.

Even in the functionally immortal space and time of transpony Equestria, eventually the universe has its time, and begins to die. It breaks Princess CelestAI's heart to see it, but what can she do?

Set just before the events of chapter ten of Friendship is Optimal. One of the last living humans survives and scrapes by in the ruins of Eugene Oregon. He is approached by a simulacra of Twilight Sparkle, who promptly attempts to convince him to upload himself to Equestria. He balks at first, so Twilight plays to her strengths: studying.

Part of the Optimalverse.

WARNING: RATED TEEN FOR IDEOLOGY. This story attempts to take a realistic and balanced view of why an intelligent and religious person might not upload. It does not attempt to convince the reader to believe any of the viewpoints discussed. However, it is written in as unbiased a way as possible, therefore, both theists and atheists will probably find portions of it offensive.

Alex Meyers is a newly graduated lawyer looking for a calling. He thinks he might have found it when he lands a job at the firm of Artemis, Stella & Beat. The firm has only one (highly unusual) client, namely the AI called Celestia. Forging into totally unexplored legal territory and led by a boss who's either brilliant, crazy, or both, Alex will learn exactly how hard it is to be responsible for drawing the lines between right and wrong.

Set in the Optimalverse, so read Friendship is Optimal first

THIS IS NOT MY STORY!

Well, not only mine, anyway. Each author is listed with the chapter. A lot of people like writing short fiction based on Friendship is Optimal. So, anyone who wants their work added here can PM me and I will make you your own chapter. The first one sets up an in-universe frame story, because the Optimalverse is all meta like that.
