  • Good, but Canceled Stories Bookshelf 24 stories - 0 unread chapters Good stories that have been canceled.


  • Good Stories With No Updates in A LONG Time 98 stories - 104 unread chapters Some good stories have talented writers, but life, among other things, can keep a writer from putting their story into a good ending. These are stories that are incomplete, sometimes NOT marked on Hiatus, with no updates for the past 4 to 6 months or more. I am NOT saying that the authors should IMMEDIATELY drop everything and finish these pieces of work. All I am saying is that these stories are pretty good, but readers should beware since these stories are incomplete, and therefore, have no ending, so reading these stories may include a feeling of abruptness to them. I will attempt to update this as much as I can, but be warned, I am not on this site all the time, so I may not know that a story has always been updated.


  • Favorite Lovecraft Stories 29 stories From the popular Elder God Cthulhu to just the idea of madness, these are some of my favorite stories with Lovecraftian themes in them.

  • The Wonderbolts are Getting Better 39 stories The Wonderbolts have NOT been portrayed as a good role model in the show. From "Rainbow Falls" with Spitfire and Fleetfoots betrayal to Soarin & possible cheating of the Friendship Games, to "Rarity Investigates" when the Wonderbolts accused Rainbow Dash of tricking Spitfire to leaving the airshow, it's not painting the Wonderbolts into a nice picture. As such, not everybody likes this military branch, and don't believe the characters when they say they learned their lesson or are a force that helps defend Equestria from hostile forces. However, they have been viewed as of late, not like jerks, or bullies, or incompetent military personnel. Whether it be stories that have the wonderbolts learn their lesson the hard way, stories with a slightly different ending, or complete rewrites of episodes involving the Wonderbolts, these fics are ones that portray the Wonderbolts in a better light than most of the episodes depicted them as. Because, hey, nobody's perfect, but at the very least, we can hope that they can improve someday.






  • This is how to "fix" the episodes. 211 stories I understand how the title of this shelf looks, but hear me out. Some episodes were average, some were boring, some were near flawless gems, some were absolute %$&@#* BONKERS! (Best way to describe it in as few words as possible.) I understand that this show is not meant to be taken seriously, but when you are working on a show that primarily deals in morals, or tries to teach lessons to children, you have to try, just TRY, your best to not mess up on what you say and what you MEAN to say. I understand that people make mistakes, but if Gravity Falls can go through an entire series without a bad episode, then you could try to do a little more work here. This shelf is primarily towards fics that try to "fix" said episodes. Whether it's just changing the ending, presenting a different characters POV of the same situation, a complete rewrite of the episode or writing a side story to explain terrible implications, it tries showing how another take can change things (hopefully) for the better. I'll try to include episodes where the viewers "unanimously" decreed that it was terrible. However, some stories have multiple chapters & cover multiple episodes, and some episodes, like I just said, weren't all that bad. Maybe you like an episode that was covered here. Just know that it's just another opinion/a different take on the same subject, so don't worry too much; if the cannon of the entire G4 is so wibbly-wobbly, that the comics, books and even SOME OF THE VERY EPISODES THEMSELVES can be considered "not-canon" if they have conflicting information, then you can just pick and choose whatever "fix" you like better, and run with it. Who knows, maybe you could use these rewrites as inspiration for characters to take part in "Tales of Equestria", as a much closer way that that particular episode probably should have been portrayed. Don't stress out too much from these shows mistakes and the people who made them; just learn from them and try to avoid them in your own work.


  • "Tales of Equestria" Bookshelf 617 stories - 1330 unread chapters There's no doubt that fans of the show have created an immense amount of material and stories for MLP. While that is awesome, some stories may inspire others in other mediums. Since there's an official Tabletop RPG for MLP FiM, I figure gathering some stories to try to inspire others should be here. This bookshelf features stories (whether complete or incomplete) that I think should be read for the purpose of inspiration for a "Tails of Equestria" campaign, since there aren't more than a handful of official campaigns/adventures from the "official" source. These stories could either have an idea that could spark a great campaign story, be converted to a campaign setting or mystery, or are just so funny that the situations might be fun to play in. Maybe there is a story where you stop mad ponies from hurting another creature, or stopping a pony from making an army and taking over Equestria. (Again.) Maybe a new species was just discovered, and your characters could go on adventures with it. Maybe you could have the mirror actually play a role in your version of Equestria, and the players could visit a story as an "alternate dimension". Maybe a story here has some well thought out morals that could be used to teach younger players. Or maybe some stories here are not that great for ToE games. Maybe you could get some inspiration from the animated show, comics and books as well; some stories that are not written as well, needed a rewrite or seemed like characters in some roles could've been replaced with anyone else, could easily make that story pure tabletop campaign material. Whatever the case, feel free to peruse and read this library. However, don't take EVERY story/story beat and force yourself turn each chapter into one-for-one campaign acts, (while some "adults" play this tabletop rpg, at least a few of these stories might touch on some adult topics/points not PG/lower) but if even a bit of inspiration was given to you from this, then this bookshelf did its job.


  • Ultimate Sweetie Bot Fic Idea Folder 10 stories I believe that if you combine some of the ideas in this folder, you may have the workings of the ultimate Sweetie-bot story. Take the ideas of a backstory of how Sweetie Bot works internally from "Sweetie Bot - A Hearth's Warming Tale", the side stories/sequels from that fic, as well as "Flesh and Blood", and the twist that Sweetie and her robot double can exist from the canceled "My Sister, The Robot", adding or removing possible points from some of the other fics in this folder as well. Then again, that's just my imagination. ;-P

"What will happen once we are all gone? Will the future know who we were or will we be forgotten and erased from history?"

Having recently saved Equestria from the most powerful enemies it had ever seen, a victory bought with the strongest fighters of the kingdom, Twilight can't stop thinking about these questions and what the answers might be.
After several sleepless nights and still without any answers on the questions that plague her mind, Twilight decides that the ponies and creatures of Equestria have to take historical matters into their own hooves and claws.
No one knows what the future will bring, but what if they would bring themselves to the future?
The friendships of Equestria are worth fighting for and they are worthy of being preserved. Ponies and creatures die and make room for new generations, but ideas, experiences and stories live forever.
All she needed to do was to ensure that Equestria's future generations can learn about their friendships and what made them special. And Twilight had just the plan for that.


A love letter to all the ponies and creatures of Equestria and to the show, comics and books that gave me the chance to learn who I truly am.
We don't know what the future holds, but as long as we don't forget and don't stop to care about the ponies and creatures we've met, the friendships forged in Equestria will never leave us.

The palace is ancient. So it makes sense for Celestia and Luna to order a complete overhaul of the waterworks, especially since the old system has been making strange sounds within the walls. All they really wanted was to wash up without dealing with new leaks.

They didn't get it.

They weren't expecting the magical lasers either, but that's plumbing for you.

For centuries anything magic, alien and supernatural has been handled and covered up by the Supernatural and Magical Intelligence League of Earth and their agents. A small city in the heart of [REDACTED] in particular has been designated to always have someone from the agency at hand, even though nothing of note has happened there for so long that nobody even remembers why that policy was implemented in the first place.

Get ready for action, drama, paperwork and misguided marital counseling as you follow the adventures of the two poor idiots dedicated agents currently appointed to watch over the sleepy town of Canterlot, where supernatural events don't happen regularly so please stop posting videos of them on MyStable.

When magic's slow decline dooms Equestria, ponies write letters to a future they don't expect to see.


This story MIGHT turn out to be an entry in the "A Thousand Words Contest," maybe?

In an unremarkable city, in an unremarkable hospital, to two unremarkable ponies, a filly was born. A filly who was all too remarkable. A filly who radiated Destiny, and Adventure.

Her parents, however, liked their unremarkable life, in their unremarkable city, and wanted nothing more for their little filly than to have a nice, normal, unremarkable youth. So whenever Destiny or Adventure reared their heads, they made sure to nip it in the bud. Magical portals, foreign princes, time travellers and mysterious salesponies of magical musical instruments all got the same answer:

Nope.

There's always been traffic crossing the river at the base of the mountain, and that means Canterlot's had a bridge there for centuries. But bridges wear out, while new styles come into play. Commissioning a new span out of the national budget, replacing the worn-out turntable with an arch... that's simple enough. After that, the sensible thing is to just step back and let the architect do their job.

Yeah, right. The sensible thing is clearly for everypony to start telling him exactly how things should be done! Because what does an architect know about bridges, anyway?

It isn't as if 'not having them collapse' was the important part.
