Sick with pony fever, Apple Bloom misses out on a field trip to the human world. However, a talk with Ponyville's spastic human enthusiast gets the impatient little filly's curiosity piqued to her breaking point—her breaking the rules point, actually.

She visits Earth anyway, and, well, things go downhill so rapidly that the rate of decline is best described as mathematically imaginary. Humanity goes extinct, but hey, at least it's an adorable extinction, right?

Apple Bloom says she's sorry. D'aww, how can you get mad at such a sweet, fuzzy little pony wearing a big red bow? She's so cute!

Imagine my surprise when Moondancer told me that she'd discovered a way to access your fanfictions. A scholar like her should have been thrilled, but she said that she quickly became disillusioned. Most of your stories aren't that great.

Like the dummy I am, I offered to look them over, do some reviewing, commenting, and generally offer tips on how to improve. They can't be that bad, right?

Oh how naive I was! Yes, yes they can.

I had no idea about the sheer immensity of this task, and as if that wasn't bad enough, each and every one of your stories finds a new and unique way of being awful. I've just about reached my breaking point, and Celestia help me if I get there. I doubt that even Death herself could stand to read your fanfiction!

This was born from a severe lack of sleep while I was trying to write a review. It was out of place as a part of that work, so I removed it, revised it, and greatly expanded it until could stand on its own. The original version was only 432 words.

By the way, I'm using the collective, plural form of the pronouns 'you' and 'your' here. I'm not addressing the reader directly, but rather the fandom in general.

A guy dressed up as Shredder has a high-flying adventure in Equestria that comes to an abrupt end.

This is a short, silly thing I created for this contest.

This story now has a YouTube reading, courtesy of ZeusMacD.

What possible use can Lyra have for a costume which looks exactly like herself?

Twilight is a young crystal pony who has a serious problem. Unlike the other ponies whose coats are brilliant and translucent, Twilight is bland and dull.

The upcoming Crystal Heart ceremony is her last chance to shine. She'd better not fail, because if she does...

Well, let's just say that there's a reason why ponies like her disappear.

Scotland voted for independence from the United Kingdom today, but another, equally shocking event also occurred: the Crystal Empire decided to join.

Pinkie Pie notices that a peppermint turned her tongue green, prompting Rarity to recite a poem about a kissing game. They both decide they want to play it. Their target: Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash doesn't know about this game and treats their sudden affection like a prank. Naturally, she feels the need to prank them back, but she doesn't think her plan through and things rapidly spiral out of control.

Beset upon by one too many dirty socks, Rarity attempts to unravel a forbidden secret of the universe.

Sometimes, a silent sun princess wants only one thing. Sometimes, the world won't let her have it.

Fluttershy's life starts to fall apart when somepony steals something very near and dear to her. She'll do anything to get it back, anything, because if she doesn't... well, that thought is just too horrible to imagine.
