Some days, it feels like the sky itself is falling.
After the destruction of Applejack's prized tree Bloomberg, Braeburn find himself caught between allegiances to his friends, and to a helpless pony who appeared as if from nowhere. Not to mention the suspicious actions of the buffalo, and the recent string of earthquakes rocking the desert. Mixing classic wild western adventures with magic and fantasy, The Outlaw, The Star, and the Big, Big Sky tells a story of revenge, redemption, and how the best of intentions can lead to the destruction of the very ground upon which we all stand.

This story was originally started in 2011, shortly after finishing my first story, Macintosh. While Macintosh was a slower paced character study of the Big Mac himself, The Outlaw, The Star, and the Big, Big Sky aims to tell a story full of fairy tale adventure and deadly desperados. 6 Chapters were written, with an extra unfinished chapter recently uploaded, containing a flashback to Braeburn's childhood showing just how dangerous and bloody the untamed deserts can be.

12 years on, I'm hoping for any and all thoughts and feedback on this story. I would love to continue writing from where it was left off, but life is busy and I may not have the time. But if the interest is there, I would at least love to engage and discuss what could have been, and maybe make the time to finish it.
Thank you kindly, and watch out for shooting stars.

For now, this could be considered an alternate universe fic, though until it's finished it's hard to say how well it would fit in with established canon.

Cover art elements made with AI (Bing Copilot) then tweaked and photoshopped together by me.

After a botched summoning spell, Twilight finds herself facing against a hideous monster full of shwibbly glib-a-kind. Now, she must stop this grotesque obibaglab before he shabblegabbles all her books.

Trixie and Spike brave the depths of the fast food industry.

Eleven authors worked to create a story together, writing just one hundred words each — but all they had to work with were the one hundred words that were written by the person before them.

Presented to you now is the result of their combined endeavours... although, upon reading, it will quickly become apparent that the use of the 'Random' tag is well justified.

In fact, 'random' is probably an understatement.

Starlight's redemption hasn't been easy. Heck, it's been hard. Still, at least her birthday would be coming up soon. A day to just relax with her new friends.

But things don't always go according to plan.

Rainbow Blitz meets Scootaloo and takes care of her during the Zombie Apocalypse.

What will decide their fate? Where will they go? How will they survive?

(Rainbow Dash is Rule 63fied. Characters are all Anthromorphized. Also, this was inspired by The Walking Dead Telltale Series.)

Ponies don't fish.
But even when they do, they have the decency to do it with the appropriate gear.
Although, why would anyone buy gear if you can do without it?

The Cuddler is on the loose!

He is wanted for such crimes as head pats, ear scritches, mane and coat brushing, back scratches...and the worst of all, belly rubs!

Princess Celestia has put one million bit bounty for information that leads to the apprehension of The Cuddler.

Unicorn Quick Caper and his much larger Earth pony pal Mugger, have had it with constantly having their schemes thwarted by the savvy law enforcement of Manehatten.

So when they hear about a fair-sized hamlet out in the middle of nowhere, stuck right beside the Everfree Forest and the main city of Canterlot, they see this as the perfect opportunity to snag some quick bits from the unsuspecting rubes that travel between the Forest and the way to Canterlot.

What could be more simple?! Avoid those pesky, nosy Bearers, lie in wait along the Road, jump out and surprise anypony with enough bits! With Caper's brains and Mugger's muscle, they'd soon be rolling in cash! Profit!

What follows is a re-telling of possibly the craziest week in Equestria's history. Most remember as the Week of Wackiness, but Twilight Sparkle has her own name for it.

The week where Celestia went crazy.
