    NEW PRINCESS ATTACKS GRIFFONSTAN IMPORTS

    The Manehattan Tribune can exclusively report that newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle became embroiled in an argument with the Griffonstani trade minister about the inferior quality of griffon quills, alleging that "they just don't hold ink as well as pegasus quills". Import markets tumbled overnight, threatening the solvency of numerous Equestrian quill merchants. Princess Sparkle could not be reached for comment.

    Most of the time, Applejack is honest.  A lot of times, she's a dependable pony.

    Then, sometimes, she's full of militant squirrels piloting her in a war with the Chipmunk Confederacy over a sacred acorn.

    Twilight Sparkle wakes up to an unexpected thought, and now she just wants it to go away. The idea is embarrassing enough: an erotic liaison between herself and Princess Luna. But Twilight's problem runs deeper. She can't ignore this idea, however much she tries. She decides to write it out as a story, to clear the thing from her mind. Now she needs to finish her story quickly – because if she falls asleep before it's done, the Princess of Dreams will get to see that idea for herself.

    Living quietly in the Manehatten country is a little-known painter...who sees other ponies' dreams. Most of them are a little risqué. A few of them are utterly horrifying. And the only way she keeps herself sane is to paint them.

    See them the way Reverie Dreamflight does...through the view from the window.

    A series of shorter stories aimed at exploring the potential unmasked thoughts and desires of some of our favorite pastel equines...for better or worse.

    Applejack's life is turned upside-down after she suddenly inherits the full powers of a goddess. She insists that it isn't a big deal and that she's the same pony as always, just bigger. Meanwhile, everypony else starts making demands on her and placing expectations on the 'new princess'. When the constant stream of petitions and gawkers starts interfering with farm work, Applejack reacts a bit strongly. Luna, fearing the worst, is determined to rescue Applejack from corruption, further irritating the farm pony. Will Applejack accept her destiny, or is destiny what you make of it?

    New! Part 3: After Twilight notices Applejack becoming increasingly obsessed with the game, she tasks Pinkie Pie (of all ponies) to keep an eye on her.  The two head out into Ponyville in search of adventure and the perfect game.

    Part 1: Twilight has finally convinced Applejack to join her other friends in Spike's weekly D&D game.  However, will she be able to figure out the rules before they all drive Spike crazy?

    Part 2: Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle have stumbled across Twilight's D&D books, and convinced her to take up the dice once more. But will anypony meet their high standards to be their Dungeon Master?  More importantly, what will happen when you-know-who finds out?
