Okay! Let's get this party started with the premiere of our season! If you're just joining us I suggest you take a look at the episode list.
The end date is February 28th (PM me for a possible extension closer to the date).

Prompt:

Episode 1: Princess Twilight is forced to surrender her position as Princess of Friendship by the newly made King of Griffonstone, King Grifford, or else the Griffons will declare a full-on war against Equestria.

Episode 2: In order to protect both Twilight and Equestria Starlight and the rest of the Mane Six trap Twilight within her own castle while they go and confront King Grifford alone.

Rules:
1. Must have show accurate content. This means an E rated story. However, Pixar level humor is accepted. (This means that those little jokes that go right over a child's head that are made for the parents' enjoyment are encouraged.)
2. Word count: Minimum: 1,000 Maximum: 32,000
3. Try to stay close to canon. Shipping is good and fun, but nothing blatant. However, little moments that are up to interpretation are okay.

Good luck, and if you have any questions, you can post them here. Enter your submissions into the contest story folder.
