New Story: Two Tribes · 5:00pm Nov 30th, 2013
I've got a new story out that I call Two Tribes. It's an alternate universe story based on the idea that unicorns don't exist in the MLP world. Of course, then Shining Armor, Twilight, and Trixie had to be born as unicorns. The story will be rather dark and gory, but hopefully interesting none the less.
Everypony knows that there are only two tribes of pony: Pegasus ponies and Earth ponies. Everypony knows that Empress Celestia is a perfect fusion between the two and that only she can push the sun and the moon. Everypony knows that dragons are extinct; the honorable Knights of the Empress have slain them all.
After their parents abandoned them, raising Twilight, Trixie, and Spike in the slums of Manehattan is not the best life Shining Armor could have wished for. After all, you tend to be treated as freaks when three of your family can move things with their minds and your adopted nephew is a supposedly-extinct fire-breathing, pony eating monster.
Still, working for the Orange family crime syndicate as "dirty hooves" has its perks. They get protection, food, shelter, and some spending money. So what if they have to rob banks or assassinate pegasus nobles every now and again?

Hm.
Different? Yes.
Interesting? Potentially.
Yeah, I'll give it a go.
As for that spoiler: is that supposed to mean those are the ponies' professions or is it a future OC shipping warning?

No OC's, no shipping. I don't do shipping beyond what's canon. So you can expect Shining Armor X Cadance.

That's actually great to hear. I've gotten quite tired of all the pointless shipping around here.
