The many stories known as "creepypastas" are much like campfire stories - stories spread around that are meant to scare.  But what if those stories turned out to be true?

And worse still, what if you had to experience them?

The Mane Cast and others find themselves trapped in a dangerous game at the will of the Iridescents, color-shifting ponies who are the primary hosts in a hub of these stories turned fact.  In order for the Equestrian residents to safely return home, they are forced to traverse and survive several levels of these urban legends, all the while attempting to seek out what are known as Slender Notes, attributed to the infamous legend of Slender Pony.  But in a plethora of worlds such as those the legends bring, survival is never guaranteed.

Can the residents of Equestria make it through the various tales that await them as they play through the Iridescents' trials? Who will survive, who will perish, and who will meet a fate worse than death?  And what purpose do the Iridescents and their assistants really serve in the Hubworld?

All creepypastas involved belong to their respective owners.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Pony-based grimdark fics, as entertaining as they are, will NOT be included here as story worlds. Since they take place in the universe of Friendship is Magic itself, I may give a mention to them, but they will not be worlds that the participants enter and are forced to go through, due to their setting and characters involved.

Star Swirl the Bearded - a unicorn presence so prominent even in death, that it's said some of his magic still lingers at his grave.  And every century, a powerful burst of energy comes from it, rumored to grant a unicorn, if ever briefly, a burst of immense magic and knowledge like that of Star Swirl himself.

But when Twilight decides to travel with her friends to investigate, it proves to have unforeseen consequences.  For they were unaware that in that same moment, in another world, another kind of magic was activated.  And in the clash between the two, a pathway was unlocked - in more ways than one.

With Twilight now bearing a new power as a result of the strong energy flux, she and her friends find themselves in Blithe's Hollow on the very night that the witch's curse is activated.  With only the words of Star Swirl and remnants of his magic to go on, Twilight and her friends must not only aid Norman in stopping the witch's curse, but discover the nature of Star Swirl's message and why a connection was unlocked a connection between the two worlds - both the living and the dead.  

A ParaNorman crossover story that I and a friend of mine came up with.

A decrepit asylum, once a place for those deemed to be insane, stands from a time where the Shadow King and Crystal Princess ruled over its halls. In the current age, the forest where it resides is empty, and a gloomy silence appears to be all that remains of its once horrific past.  

But when a bet drives Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to investigate the asylum, they learn that the edifice isn't as abandoned as they thought.  Trapped within the asylum frozen in time, the pair must enlist help from other inmates to escape before they fall prey to insanity and the rumored curse upon the inhabitants.

First of the Arcane Night Series, a planned group of stories inspired by Nox Arcana albums and comments.  Based off of the Youtube RP on the Nox Arcana album, "Blackthorn Asylum"

Queen Chrysalis and King Metamorphosis are two ruling changelings from two separate Hives, each one having a certain enmity toward one another due to events in their past.  When they separately learn of the wedding between Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, they plan to ruin it by taking the places of the ponies to be wed.  However, they are completely unaware of each other's involvement or intent.

With both putting on a deceptive act toward one another, what happens when the deceivers are unknowingly deceived themselves?  And can Shining and Cadance, each believing they must save one another from a fake, be reunited, or will they fall prey to the entrapment of the changelings?

An alternate storyline to A Canterlot Wedding.

Dedicated to Victor Frost, for without his Colt Version of "This Day Aria", I might never have come up with this.

Though Luna had been banished for 1000 years, she was able to latch on to one aspect of modern life very quickly: video games.  Specifically, the Pokemon games.  Introduced to Pokemon Black and White, she eagerly anticipates the sequels due out the following day.

And Luna won't stop talking about it.

So in attempt to take her mind (and theirs as well) off the waiting and make the release date anticipation a little more bearable, a few of the others decide to take her on a trip down their memory lane by introducing her to the aspects of Pokemon they grew up with.

Includes call-backs to previous Pokemon generations, both games and anime.  Warning: May cause nostalgia-flashbacks.

(I wrote this the day before Black 2 and White 2 came out and finished it at night, but since it was so late I figured I'd wait to post it on the game's release date rather than try to get it approved and have it be fully up at midnight or so when few would be online.  And then it took a while to get approved.)
