A Few of My Favorite MLP Horsewords Fanfics (Stories to Make Mine Look Bad By Comparison :-) · 8:10am Apr 28th, 2022
My user page has a few links to stories I really liked by other people. Here I'm trying to make that a little bit more systematic so I can put THIS on my user page.
(Disclaimer: If or when I realize some other story belongs in here, I might edit this post after initial publication. Or maybe I'll just make a new blog post? 'idk')
Sad and Bittersweet, But With At Least Partly Happy Endings

One of my absolute favorite MLP fanfics, in 2.7k words.

It's hard growing up in somepony else's shadow.

(At Least One of Which Was Left Out of the 2022 Blog Post Only By Mistake):

Is This an Adventure, a Slice of Life, a Tragedy, or a Triumph?

Sunset Shimmer passes through the Mirror Portal to find a very unusual Canterlot High School.
~
Heartwarming Slice of Life With Action-Adventure Monster Hunting

Fortunately, this fun, lengthy and semi-episodic story also has two sequels to make it even better.

Some More Contenders That Didn't Quite Make the List, But That's Sure a Judgement Call
~
Eakin's "Hard Reset"
Really, this is a very, very good story, even if there's a bit of the romance plot near the end that I don't think quite measures up.

You've Probably Heard of This One / These, But Just In Case You Haven't

Wonderfully surprising, and sublime. Fandom classic alleged by some to be among the top fifteen stories on the site.

Apologies
Did you write an extremely good MLP fanfic that didn't get into this list? Maybe even one of the MLP fanfics that I KNOW is extremely good (maybe even BETTER than at least one of these, if I had only happened to think of it) and one of my favorites, that STILL didn't get into this list? This list is very tiny and very incomplete, and I apologize.
This blog post was a good idea; best wishes as it develops!
Long Road to Friendship is really good! I highly recommend it.
