Warning: The following story you are about to read is currently unedited.

In 835, Princess Celestia made history by having her picture be taken by the newly made invention called the daguerreotype camera. However, a week before, she found herself engaged in a conversation with three art critics who worried that this invention might summon the death of painting as they knew it.

Viewers would like to know that all the following criticism in this story is based on actual historical beliefs of how photography was seen in the 19th century. Any similarities to the new genre of AI art is purely coincidental.

Twilight woke up feeling exhausted and aching.

As she wakes she comes to find Spike acting weird, and her friends, and all of Ponville, now she must discover what happened last night and hurry before Ponyville falls apart.

And not succumb to whatever this is in the process...

This story is a sequel to A Silent Film

If you were to ask Vintage Cinema, a writer of true mystery books, Applewood has a long history of darkness underneath the glitz and glamor. His attention has turned to the Equestrian Society for Film Preservation in hopes of finding a film that is linked to his ancestor who disappeared during the silent film era. While his hunch does pay off, he finds that the film he has been looking for might have more than one mystery wrapped in its film reel.

A huge thank you to Lotus Moon and her cast for bringing this story to life.

On January 1st, 2024, after 96 years, the 1928 Disney cartoon, "Steamboat Willie" finally entered the Public Domain. While the rest of Equestria is busy celebrating the New Year, William "Willy" Brown, a local Human living in Ponyville, decided to celebrate this groundbreaking event by dressing up as "Steamboat Willie", and sailing his steamboat up and down the Applish River next to Ponyville, blowing its whistles, and reenacting the cartoon as best a single Human (and his pet cat Mickey) can. needless to say, the Ponies aren't the most impressed by his late-night antics

A Canternet outage hits Maretime Bay and Zephyr Heights. Without proper online communication, Hitch and Zipp can only send old-fashioned written letters to each other from their corresponding locations.

A story told through letters and texts, Hitch and Zipp tries to solve the outage while keeping the public calm. They write back-and-forth letters helping each other, teasing each other, and even reach the point of revealing their true affections for each other.

Pinkie comes upon a method to help her arguing friends make up, they just need to see everything from the others viewpoint.

And so Zecora gives Pinkie a potion that will make everything better.

For the Mane Six, the rest of Ponyville... maybe not.

[Surprise, double feature! A second longer story coming your way, I wanted to post this ASAP since it needs commenter aid to progress, I fear that my promised stories will take some time to arrive, but I will make you all more stories I've been itching to make while we wait, enjoy!]

Rainbow Dash and Rarity, two clashing personalities.

Rarity is going to collect more gems before a big meeting with her designer friends, but Spike is out of town, so, she enlists Rainbow Dash to help her.

But when an accident glues them together, they'll have to perform their tasks while stuck, can they do it, or will they drive each other crazy first?

If there's a holiday, then somepony's probably overdecorated for it. The Greening has seen entire homes blend into the local grass, while Lambvent shrouds neighborhoods in wool and Hearth's Warming traditionally welcomes guests into homes through making it impossible to see where the front door is. But if Ponyville's going to get dressed up anyway, then Town Hall might as well have a little contest built around it. The mayor signed off on that.

Which meant there was a period of at least two seconds in which Marigold Mare completely forgot her town hosts the Bearers -- and that she'd just given them a reason to compete against each other.

Shall we count down to the inevitable one home visit at a time? In six, five, four, three...

Rated C for they don't celebrate Christmas Crackfic.

(Slight spoilers for Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark. Takes place between "Mane Smelody" and "Nightmare on Mane Street".)

As a result of "The Mane Smelody Challenge", Mane Melody's reputation has taken a bit of a hit. A guilt ridden Pipp desperately searches for a way to restore it, and to hopefully redeem her own reputation in the process.

Eventually, Pipp learns that some of her youngest Pippsqueaks want to go on a field trip to Zephyr Heights, but they can't raise enough money for their school to hire chaperones. That gives Pipp an idea: She'll host a charity livestream at Mane Melody.

Rocky and Jazz are a bit hesitant to endorse another one of Pipp's ideas so soon after her last one failed. Can Pipp convince them, and by extension everypony else, that her social media influence can be a force for good?
