Ivanhoe Mane finds himself waking up on the train as it stops at his destination: Ponyville. With only his bag to his name and a mysterious note advising him to come to this seemingly pleasant little town, he is unsure whether there is a deeper mystery here, or if it's just an excuse for a vacation. Soon, however, terrible things are starting to happen to Ponyville and its inhabitants. Ivanhoe finds himself and some of the kind locals in the middle of an adventure where he is constantly drawn towards finding the only things that can stop this calamity not only threatening Ponyville, but the entire world.

The first, and by far worst story I've written for the public. Be warned! Even without taking into account my flawed writing style, the poorly handled OCs, Out-of-character moments and general clichés should be enough to make you want to avoid it. Still, it's always fun to write, and I'm not going to just remove old stuff because I'm trying to grow away from it. It has some neat ideas, though, some of which would have been better suited for a story unrelated to FIM.

Things can change fast. One day, the young filly Raindrop Day has a normal happy life. The next, she worries about her father while deciding to break some rules in order to help a colt struggling with finding out what he's destined for. Over the course of a single week her life changes forever.

This short story is me experimenting in writing a story made specifically to evoke sadness in the reader. I wanted to write it in order to possibly grow as a writer. If you find faults in it, then please say so. I expect there to be many flaws, as I haven't written many works. If you think it's good, then great! If you think it's bad, then good! If you think it's bad and say why, then fantastic! Constructive criticism rules!

Sleepy Head is an Earth pony that sleeps throughout the day but has trouble sleeping at night. So it was only a matter of time before Princess Celestia came to him with a job: keep Princess Luna company. Sounds easy enough, but as Sleepy Head interacts with the Queen of Night, he discovers secrets that will change his and Luna's life forever.

"If you asked me if I liked ponies, I would say "Never!"
I couldn't have known my life would change forever.
This is a poem of how I slowly caved in
But also the adventure all bronies partake in."

Sequel: Right here

My life as a boy wasn’t the best.
My dad made my days anything but blessed.
So, I was shocked when fate unfurled
A confidante from another world.

Yes, this is all written in rhyme.
I stepped it up a notch this time.

A changeling who has lived at the side of an Equestrian mare for most of his life finds himself in the middle of the changeling invasion of Canterlot. He has no idea who the invading queen or hive are, and just wants to stay where he is, and more importantly, who he is.

The spell that ends the invasion doesn't discriminate, though. With his old pony form irreversibly stripped away, and the whole kingdom out to hunt his kind, he tries to keep his family together, and struggles to find his place in the world.

Please comment! Even now, I'd love to hear what people think as they read through

An alarm sounds. There's a planet nearby. I wonder if anyone can hear me.

After a party to welcome the season of Nightmare Night, the library becomes the target of strange activity.
