A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron.
Two and a half years ago I wrote a bad story called "The Real Reason". The central idea is that the whole Nightmare Moon episode was that Luna was really a BDSM sub, and coerced Celestia into dominating and punishing her. The Elements of Harmony were just flashy gems that did nothing; the only way for Luna to lose the aspect of the Nightmare was for Celestia to play the game through, accept Luna's submission, and accept her own role as Luna's dom. But to do so, she had to find it in herself to
This took me longer than intended, but I have been too busy to blame it on procrastination - I've been too involved in the production of a Shakespeare Play - coincidentally it is the play called The Tempest. Heh.
Have any of you ever heard of the old German legend of a man named Faust and his deal with a demon, along with its poor consequences that followed it like a lame pup? It is one of my favorite tales, and I plan to adapt it... with an interesting twist to it.
Let's all spread some love around.
Well, this is new. A virtual convention!
In the year 2020, a great plague had settled upon the land. So, to protect the herd, the wild Bronies have taken shelter, socially distancing from one another. Yet through the magic of friendship they stay connected with one another, and now find refuge in the place that it all began: the Internet!
Alas, poor Rainbow Dash! I knew her, Horatio; a mare of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; she hath borne me on her back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Most of you may not know this, but recently I've finally earned my associate's degree. And if you read the last story of "One on One Philosophy with Discord," you'd probably picked up that one of those last classes I took was a Shakespeare class. I took it for three reasons - I was good with literature; that I'd like a good story as long there was a good teacher to point out the nuances; as well as to help me answer a question that has haunted me for a long time. Chances are, you too may have

Hello there, Another week, another episode. sorry for not posting this earlier, but I went home for the weekend to see my sibling's production of "A Comedy of Errors" and didn't actually watch the episode until today between classes. Let's take a look at the episode now. Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie have all gone on a cruise to "get each other out of their element" and it all goes horribly wrong. Twilight ends up having to play the mediator between these three and try to figure out what

Hey-up!
News!
Firstly, this is going to be a huge project, along with Book 2: Heal what has been hurt, so I’ll be flicking between the 2 stories. True Love 2 will be on hiatus, as will Hogwarts: Year 1.
Secondly, I’ve got a question: In act 2, we meet Rainbow and Pinkie(Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) and I was going to base this moment on Hakuna Matata. Do you think the 2 mares should play a prank on Sunset(Hamlet) when they see her for the first time?
