Trixie gets her friend and frenemy stuck with her in a miniature avant-garde poem containing very few available letters.

Content Note: (1) A profane word starting with an "F" and a "U" used a few times although the only letters available to our protagonists do not include "K" or "C". (2) A profane word referring to excrement although only the final two letters are available to use. (3) A profane word in a "foreign" language. (4) Trixie makes a Freudian slip or an intentional allusion.... It's easily missed though, which is either a good thing for those with taste and decency, or it's the nucleus of a fun scavenger hunt.

Trixie is Terrible Rating: She didn't want it to happen, but she's not helping make things better (3 Out of 10).

Experimental Entry in the Thousand Words Contest.
- It is so experimental that the word counter on the description page disagreed with the word counter on the editor page(!) [The editor shows it as 1010 words. The site description shows as 1000 words].

Image: All mine, although the words are a parodic reference to this link, which itself is a bit of a philosophical parody... and the image probably contains some other cultural references. For those who want to be spoiled: SPOILER The image indicates that the story is about more than the story. It's about Friendship and Language. But the primary intent is for the story to be enjoyable on an obvious level as an amusing romp.

You’ve seen Humans in Equestria… but have you seen them done quick? Will PonyRunner420 crumble under the pressure of one frame tricks, uninvited couch commentators, and suspiciously self-aware NPCs, or will he successfully kill Celestia in record time?

A short story about the magic of speedrunning, and it’s power to bring people across the world (and across dimensions) together with the common goal of raising money for charity, and just killing Celestia really fast.

Featured 2023/01/10. You’re supposed to brag about this here right

You hate that yellow pony, and she needs to die. Even if it kills you.

Wallflower Blush is absolutely certain of three things:

One, no sane person working on the student government reads her emails.

Two, Strawberry Sunrise reads her emails.

Three, Strawberry Sunrise is a bitch.

Twilight has too much time on her hooves.

Twilight has a spell that involves 'transposing male characteristics' that she hasn't tried yet.

Twilight is about to get herself into a whole world of trouble.

-
Translated into Russian(!) by the amazing repitter with editing by FoxcubRandy

Once a shy and introverted pony, now the resigned ruler of an entire nation, Twilight has been through it all. From boring talks with politicians, crazy battles against powerful foes, helping ponies in need, among many other legendary and not so legendary feats. After all that, she has assigned someone new for the position, and resigned from her throne, deciding to lay low and enjoy the rest of her years. But death is the only certain thing in life, and now, she has outlived her finite years.

Laying on the beach one sunset, the grim reaper gives her a visit. They end up having a small chat.

Twilight drinks coffee in the shower, everypony else is appalled. It has to be horrible! Right?

Rarity goes to Twilight in a time of need. With a good friend and a shoulder to cry on, can Rarity work out her creative conundrums?

The cover has nothing to do with the story, it is a personal showcase of my favorite textures I've made for Love & Tolerance, a MLP:FIM-inspired resource pack for Minecraft.

This story is very personal to me and was written in collaboration with 6-D Pegasus.
