To Princess Twilight Sparkle,
It has come to my attention that you have recently locked yourself into a room for three days after feeling embarrassed about what could only be described as The Most Embarrassing Coronation in Equestria's History. Do not worry, this is not from Discord or any of his tricks of the sort (I've made sure of that), but even with the influx of support from your many friends, co-rulers and predecessors you still felt the uncertainty to leadership. And quite frankly, who am I to criticise? I remember when I was given my position despite being one of the last two of my kind (More on that later).
The point is, leadership is never easy (I should know better than most). The only advice I could give to you would be to see the mistakes in the past and ensure never to repeat them. But you may ask, "who are you to tell me what or what not to do? who are you to give me advice when I don't even know you?" Well firstly I should introduce myself; I am what you may call The Administrator. An entity within a pocket universe that oversees EVERY form of reality. Please refrain yourself from drooling at the prospect of meeting a being from another reality before I can make my next point. Speaking of which, I suppose taking advice from a being such as I might be overwhelming to say the least (or underwhelming, if what I said earlier was too minimalistic).
No, I decided to take the extra mile. In this letter contains a small seal that will enable you to communicate with (Drum roll please) Yourself. More specifically, the many, MANY versions of you across the alternate worlds of Equestria (or perhaps more). I figured if you want advice that really hits you, you might as well hear it from, who else but yourself. Keep in mind that what you will see will differ from what you have experienced. You should know better than most ponies that every decision in our lives creates a ripple effect that changes the course of history. Therefore (and I cannot stress this enough), be prepared for any eventuality; that being some of your versions may be more desirable than others. That's not to say you will be transported to their world (I am not that cruel), but that each version of yourself will meet one-on-one (or more if both parties agree) in a pocket universe I specially prepared for this occasion.
You may ask, "why would you go so far as to do this for me? What is your game?" No game, your highness (again, I am not Discord). As altruistic as I am, the sole reason for my actions is simply to ensure one thing and one thing only; balance. Not balance for your world really but for balance across all reality. As I have mentioned before, each action we take creates consequences. Your little mopefest, if continued will affect your world entirely and I cannot afford to lose another canon reality. Doing so will splinter this world and will cause a domino effect across EVERY REALITY.
No need to panic really. Metaphysically, none of you will feel the impact; you will still exist and your lives will continue as always (however differently it flows instead of how it should could be). I however cannot say the same for the rest of creation. The ripple effect will cause countless worlds to crack which will take quite the endeavour to fix or add in compensation to the many changes it will bring. (Before you go all theoretical about what all this entails please keep in mind any further exploration of the subject will remove the reason for my intervention.)
With all this in mind, I cannot force you out of your stupor (however alarming as this may be). But I can try to persuade you by taking up this offer. You can even invite anyone to join you if you are nervous about meeting another version of yourself, but we both know you would salivate at the chance to compare yourself with other realities.
Well, without further ado I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully you will find the answers that you seek and remember; you can always use it again if you wish to seek more advice in the near future. Just bear in mind that there will be a certain time limit and cooldown of usage to ensure you will not use this device as an escape from reality. This is for advice and counsel; not for therapy or entertainment.
If you lose the seal or if it gets damaged, need not fear; it will self-replicate back to your room and the previous version will just vanish from existence. For more details on several of its functions, please consult the manual attached to this letter. (Note: the manual and letter will seem like gibberish to anyone other than yourself if they read it, so bear that in mind if you're worried if these will fall into the wrong hands hoofs or if you are planning to show it to your friends) Also, for the love of the Lord of Creation, please do not let Discord, Pinkie Pie or anyone who has at any point had access to chaos magic touch the seal. The result will cause the seal to self destruct permanently which will take a very long time to replace, so please be careful.
Good luck with all your endeavours and God speed Princess,
Jonathan Toolonie, Administrator of Toonworld.
PS. Yes, interloper. That's my name, and that's my world. Deal with it!
Hanging from the letter was a large medallion-like seal with buttons and dials on the sides and a digital screen in the middle. The seal was coloured crimson red and shaped like a balloon tied like a chained necklace. Twilight looked at the manual with a incredulous look in her eyes; it was a small pop-up book.
Conversations into alternate realities? This seems like my kind of story. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
You have my curiosity. I'm very interested in seeing what alternate version of Twilight are brought into this.
Definitely sounds like an intriguing idea.
As for other versions of herself that Twilight could talk to:'
One of them could be Dr. Twilight Sparkle, an adult version of her human counterpart.
Another could be Twilight the Great, from a universe where the Mane Six and the Pillars switched roles. (i.e. Twilight was Celestia and Luna's mentor and a considerably younger Starswirl was Celestia and Luna's shared personal student).
The address for needed info on the possible series is
https://www.fimfiction.net/group/214951/swapped-roles/thread/442361/swapped-roles-story-up-for-adoption
In this case, it would be sometime after that Twilight returned from dimensional limbo.
Another possibility could be Bed Head's Flipverse that had Spike as the pony and Twilight as the dragon (assuming Bed Head gave you permission to use the character).
Another version could be one of the universes where the Sonic Rainboom never happened, but she still managed to have a rather good life, make some great friends and help save the world on a dozen different occasions.
Another version she could talk to would be one of the many versions of her male counterpart Dusk Shine
Another version she could talk to could be one that experienced having her horn shatter at her entrance exam, but, through extra-hard work, learned how to be extremely good with tools and potions as well as do most of the stuff she could before even without her horn.
And, I'll let you know if I come up with other stuff.

Well, getting permission will be hard for most of what I had in mind mostly due to Author in activity.
10817046
Yeah. That's more than fair enough.
10817046
That's the trouble with this kind of story. You're not even guaranteed the authors that are active, and ones you want to use, will say you can use their version of the character.
You can use the Twilight from my story
One question though will the events in this story effect the ones it references or do we not have to worry about inter-dimensional lore?
That didn’t work so well in transformers.
10818622
That all depends. Most cases, I'd like to say the impact would no different from just another ship entering the harbour (this is an anthology after all), but if you want I could allow the impact to be greater.
10818914
I have another suggestion though it’s not one of my stories this time
Daughter of the crimson king
11022849
Well, this is... Peculiar to say the least. I'll have a read at it and see if I could use it (granted if the author allows it).
Do you still admit suggestions of Twilight fics? Because I have some that could be curious...
A Human a Pony Princess and a mistake / Twilight try a experiment with a spell and somehow a human is stuck inside her body (and in the sequel, they end fused as something that is neither of them, while in the sequel to that, they get separated and are three Twilight... Original, Human Twilight and the mix)
Life is Magic / When Twilight awaken one day and is Twilight or maybe not Twilight (Very Lovecraftian)
The Alicorn Warrior / Twilight get banished but in her banishment discover something (Not much to tell to avoid Spoilers)
Magical Mystery Oops / A Twilight become a draconequs
Take Two / Twilight from a far future send her spirit/mind to the past to when she was young and recently defeated Nightmare Moon and try to correct many mistakes she did when young like taking care of Spike or tell a couple of things to Celestia (Very OverPowered)
The Moons Apprentice /
Seeking Power /
The Code's Apprentice /
Knowledge is Power / Twilight discover a book from Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of fate, knowledge and memory. And she is changed a little from that
Your Human and You / When Humans are pets for Ponies, Twilight discover her human is not stupid
Celestia's Tiny Student / Cute Tiny Twilight the size of a mouse
Twilight's Dollhouse Crazy Twilight transforming other ponies in dolls
Thought I let you know A sad Twilight fic, when Celestia stopped answering her after Nightmare Moon
If you like any of them, good, if not, that is also okay
this character is very illogical and not realistic. VERY .
Discord better
