What if your OC could live in Equestria? Perhaps a background pony who befriends Derpy? Maybe a philanthropist who wants to lend a helping hoof? Or could you be a blank flank simply trying to find your place? Apply to the O.C.I.O and you might be lucky enough to become a citizen of Equestria!

These are the ponies who... didn't make it through the screening.

(An ongoing collaborative effort. You present a purposely bad OC to me and I'll give you the go to write a chapter. If it meets criteria, I'll edit and post here. Be warned posting will be slow.)

After Bon Bon reveals some ...rather unsettling information, she gets thrown in jail. Lyra pays her a visit. Too bad they won't let her post bail.

Now with a TV Tropes page! Warning: Will Contain spoilers.

In the magical land of Equestria, two alicorn sisters raise the Sun and the Moon every day to give the world a night and day cycle, basic for the survival of life. There are also two alicorns who rule over two very core aspects of life and harmony itself. Those are Love and Friendship. While not as ancient as the two sisters, all princesses are essential to the world's balance.
This balance is also sustained by the hard-working ponies, who make the seasons change and manage the weather to fit their needs, so everypony has enough food and water, and every animal is also attended to assure that any of them are caught in the changes of seasons.

But what about the planet itself? What about Mother Nature?
This is the question that Gaia asks when she arrives to this foreign world. After so much work her son persuaded her to take a long vacation in Equestria, saying that she needed one and assuring her that he would be in charge now, and she must take a break. But what can a several billion-year old alicorn possibly do to pass her time in this land?

I just want to get through English, that's it! But for some damn reason, I'm slowly turning into a changeling that my niece made for me awhile back. Can someone please fill me in? I'm utterly lost.

Now, I'm getting dragged to Chicago by my niece and two best friends. Hopefully, they can fix us there...

Who doesn't want to be remembered?

Written for the "More Most Dangerous Game" story contest, hosted by Equestria Daily, based upon the Anthropology prompt.

For most of Applejack's life, she didn't know what she was. True, she understood who she was well enough.
But ponies don't change shapes, nor do they get strength from love.
Applejack never thought too hard on it... until the events of a certain wedding brought about some harsh realizations.
Now, with Equestria still reeling from the surprise attack, will Applejack manage to come to terms with what she is? Will she even be able to keep her secret safe?
For if the royal guards don't get her first, the conspirators in the shadows just might...

[Queen of Queens is now an audiobook! Part 1, part 2.]

Our kind has it that the life of a queen is the happiest, for they are blessed with the shortest time in this world. A mighty queen will be remembered for eternity, forever residing in the hearts of her people. The greatest tragedy a queen can suffer is to be forgotten – to be stricken from history.

I refuse to bend before oblivion.
