Not a brony. No really, I'm not. I'm just here to see what awesome stuff this crazy fandom puts out.
Because one writer's scraps can inspire another's magnum opus. Not that this is likely to happen here...
But yeah, this is just a collection of my scraped and discarded rough drafts and ideas. As you can probably guess, these will in incomplete, unedited, and probably low quality. But then again, that's what you're here for, isn't it?
And yes, consider these free for adoption in the off chance someone is actually inspired.

This does sound fun. Twilight's technophobia is just totally worth. I think even Applejack, fused to tradition she is, is more open to using tech than Twilight is here. Just a thought.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a constant running gag. If it's done right.
Best guess is that Terra (or earth if you wanna be boring about it) fused together at some point, and both worlds just eventually got used it. Species stay seperate (unlike TCB), but they're happy to be together on other things.
I always like seeing this subgenre, and Celestia's indefatigable work ethic spanning across worlds does make sense. Her subbing the class does seem a little forced, but adjusting that to, say, Sunset poking her muzzle into Celestia's office could work instead. The mechanism behind the transformation could certainly make this idea stand out, and pony magic being terrifyingly easy to perform invites all kinds of shenanigans.
So yeah, there's potential here. Especially if Ponyville woke up with a lot more fingers than it had last night.
Ooh, seeing the worlds and cultrues combine decades or centuries after the fact could be great fun indeed. But yeah, Twilight's technophobia doesn't really work. Not when she'd have the sum knowledge of two worlds available at her hooftips at all times.
"That... I never did any of that!"
"Of course you didn't." Vice Principal Luna passed the photograph. "Feel along the edge of your body."
Twilight did so and gasped.
"Literally cut and pasted. I'm more offended than anything, but the adhesive is still strong enough that I can't pop it off and see who's in the original shot. But I think we both know the answer there."
"Sunset Shimmer."
"Indeed. Whatever you're doing, Miss Sparkle, it's working. You've done something I haven't been able to in two years: You've frightened Sunset Shimmer. This sort of transparent frame job only happens when someone's running scared." Luna scowled. "Of course we don't have concrete proof, and calling you into my office won't help your reputation... unless you follow my lead."

"Thank you for your assistance, Miss Sparkle." Twilight wasn't sure if there was a Traditional Vice Principal Canterlot Voice, but Luna was using it quite effectively. "This has cleared up any suspicion I might have had regarding you. Clearly someone else tried to sabotage the dance and make you take the fall. I can only imagine who'd have it out for a new student."
And as the students in the hallway began to murmur to each other, Twilight added another hnderline to the mental note to never, ever mess with Luna.
Suffice to say, I am entirely in favor of a more carefully thought-out and reasonably paced first EqG movie. Not sure I'll expand beyond this scene, but this is still a great idea.
I have been meaning to read your full Fo:E story. This idea could work, but I think the best way to handle it would be the aftereffects, seeing the girls take a look at themselves and thinking about just how accurate their portrayals in the movie were.
Dear Princess Twilight,
I... think I got a hit of Pinkie Sense. Everything okay over there?
Sunset Shimmer
"... No answer. Guess everything's fine."
Meanwhile
"AAAAAAAA!"
"Oh no, not again."
"Now, giant space hamsters, that's a legitimate line of inquiry."
I miss Jordan179...
Yeah, this is a fun idea, but I can see the well running dry quickly. Though if you altered the rules of the reality shift spell, you could have the groundwork for a thrilling adventure story as the Mane six race to keep reality sane and stable. (Meanwhile, Discord's too caught up in nostalgia to help.)
Ooh, Ink Blot! Always nice to see an Ultimare Universe reference.
I have to wonder how Sunsets, sirens, and other dimensional expatriates interact with Rule #2. Is "your own dimension" defined as the one you came in from or the one you were born in?
Meanwhile, a Ditzy Doo in the Sparkle Session felt inexplicably offended.
"What happened to Rule Three of the multiverse/"
"You'd look way off baseline if that weren't true."
I am sad that you never gave this a shot. I'd certainly say yes. I know GMBlackjack would be happy to incorporate this into the golden age of Merodi Universalis. If nothing else, you could explore some of your other abandoned ideas this way. Maybe consider dusting it off.
10063033 Yes, I miss him too. His Luna was great, and his Celestia and Pinkie too.
I picked one of the chapters of the story at random and ended up with this one. It's a pretty good idea and I enjoy the setup and what you managed to write.
FOME's suggestion seems like a good way to handle things, if you should ever feel like revisiting this for a longer story.
