Frost is taking over, and our hearts grow colder...

Shining and Cadence's relationship has been fine, right? That's what they've been telling everypony; that's what Cadence thinks. Still, Shining has been growing restless, the boring monotony of life cutting into him, and severing his heartstrings. When his love for Cadence is put to the test, a test that means life and death for the lives of many, Shining isn't sure that "fine" is going to cut it.

When the eleventh incarnation of the mysterious and infamous Doctor is hurled through a portal that sends him through time and space in a new manner, the miraculous discovery of himself being an equine is something he never would have expected. With his new body ready to go, he wishes to do nothing more then to explore the new lands and learn about it. All while he goes about in his own unique manner. However, certain creatures of an age long forgotten also have found their way into the land as well with the help of the highest authority within it. And they, they are hungry.

Patiently awaiting for the time to be there, the race of the kind assassin sits their time out as statues to watch. They could have never expected to run into the old foe of them with his latest companions. A nerdy librarian and a tough farmer are teamed upon his side and together, they will tackle the problem head on. Will the Doctor himself be able to defeat the menaces of the moving statues, or is the magical land behind the portal lost already?

Questions, revelations and more questions shall arise before the deeds to be done.

Many of you have asked for it, and here it is. My Doctor Who(oves) story. Might be different then one had expected but it's the best I could give. Also in honor of my favorite creature and Doctor: the Weeping Angel and 11.

It's no secret that Rainbow Dash is a huge fan of everypony's favorite explorer, Daring Do. But could there possibly be anything more awesome than the many books in the series?

One day, Twilight discovers an old copy of the Infocolt text adventure, "Daring Do & The Search for the Emerald Equine" in the Library's storage room, and, knowing the extents of Rainbow Dash's love for the Daring Do series, she gives it to the pegasus to play on her old Mareintosh computer for a while.

But how will Rainbow fare in the lost world of interactive text adventures? Will she fall victim to the dreaded "unwinnable scenario"? Or will Rainbow Dash actually succeed in the most 'hooves-on book' she's ever read?

...And what about her friends? When there aren't any strategy guides to reach for, will they be willing to help Rainbow during the many pitfalls on her virtual journey through oceans of text? And will she ever stop playing and just take a break?!

On-hiatus until further notice, unfortunately.

The following transcripts are of a journal found in Ponyville on April 16th of this year. The last recorded contact with the town had been 3 days prior, on the 13th, when a team under orders from Princess Celestia was sent to look into several missing pony reports in the area. When another group of investigators were sent on the 16th, the town was found deserted. The journal’s owner is believed to be the princess’s personal student, Twilight Sparkle. None of the town’s inhabitants have been located in the weeks since.

Twilight is marching... It's only two thousand nine hundred eighty-six steps...

Flankfurt. A small city in the far north of the Equestria. Beautiful landscapes, marvelous coastline, almost four hundred years the of history; the town is a true gem of the Northern Reaches, attracting tourists from all across the Kingdom. A city with a long and glorious history, a city with a...

Leprosy epidemic.

Leprosy is a disease, one which modern Equestrian Medicine can do nothing about. Dozens of the Flankfurt’s citizens have fallen to the painful and terrible illness. When Twilight Sparkle hears of this disease and the havoc it is wreaking on the town, she immediately sets off on a journey to prevent the spread of Leprosy before it can destroy Equestria. However, as Twilight fights against the plague, she uncovers something much more sinister lurking in the snow-filled streets of Flankfurt.

This is a collection of all the short little warm-ups or bits of practice I think might be worthy to share with the public. Anything from sad to horror, so the tags probably aren't a good indication of what you'll find. If it's bedtime and you're in the mood for a tiny ficlet to pass a few minutes, you've come to the right place.

It seems Flim and Flam were witness to Fluttershy's transformations between your everyday average run-of-the-mill vampire and a pegasus. Now they've built a machine that they've dubbed The B.L.U.D. which turns ponies into vampires, but their plan goes deeper than that. The brothers have a well drafted and well documented plan for our heroes to try and thwart with claims backed up by researched facts.

After an accident involving some cattle dying, Winona decides that the only honorable thing to do is to commit ritual suicide. Applejack, Twilight, and Fluttershy try their best to stop her, but this dog is on a mission, and nothing is going to stop her. Well, nothing except spontaneous enlightenment and subsequent immortality.

Written after a really terrible joke about dog seppuku was made on the Seattle's Angels podcast.
