It has been six months since Princess Luna's return to Equestria, however everything is still so new to her. Equestria is not as it once was, and so much seem new and strange. From the words, to the customs, and even the way they conduct their ruling.

Luna felt lonely for a long time, that is until she discovered the joys of gaming. She even found a new friend, just one small problem, he is human, and not from their dimension. Well, it would not be a problem, not if Luna would not have used a certain spell to drag her newest friend through their online game and into Equestria.

Turns out dragging a human through a game and landing him in Equestria has some unforeseen consequences... Other than the fact he is a pony now...

So there I was, minding my own business and helping my buddy out as a beta tester for one of his coding projects, when all of a sudden—

Surprise!

I got turned into the character I'd been making. More importantly, I got teleported to the middle of nowhere. It sucks that I've been placed in this kind of dangerous situation with nothing but the clothes on my back, but at least I have some superpowers to help me survive.

Violet Flare was sickly the day she was born, already disproving odds by surviving to 15, however she finally ran out of luck and was closing in on her death. A week away from her expiration date, a small message popping up in her vision gives her more hope than she has ever felt. The only problem is, will she have enough time to do what the message asks, and gain more time on her life clock?

After years of being the runt of the litter (despite having no siblings), Spike finally comes into his own and starts to grow up and mature. The result is a unique bit of magic all his own, or so the theory goes: He awakens one morning to find words hanging overhead that call him [The Gamer], along with powers that let him 'live life as though it were a game'.

How he decides to handle all of this, and where things go from there? That would be a spoiler, and you all know how we feel about spoilers around here...

The First FAQ

This story is a sequel to The Guard of a Different Stripe

Despite the world around her changing constantly, Applejack has remained firm in her simple, country life. The world may change around her, but as long as she's got her family, her friends, and her farm, the old-fashioned apple bucker of Ponyville has no reason to change herself.

However, when a mysterious Equestrian Collie emerges one night from the Everfree Forest, her stable farming life takes a turn for the stranger when the pompous pup needs more than just her affection.

Takes place after The Guard of a Different Stripe, but can be read alone.

For a long time now, the citizens of Equestria have been struck down by an epidemic of illness and sickness. Nopony seems to know for sure what could be the cause, but Princess Twilight has found one common answer: The restaurants and hotels of Equestria. All of them seem to be struck with the same kind of problems.

So with her friends Pinkie Pie and Rarity, they will cross over to Earth and bring back over a man that she has heard from Pinkie is a legend among humans when it comes to food. A man that she hopes can help her get to the bottom of the epidemic sweeping across Equestria: Chef Gordon Ramsay. For her sake...let's hope he takes the request well. And pray for the sanity of the poor souls of Equestria.

(this will include elements from both of Gordon's shows Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell)

(Feel free to give any creative suggestions with this fic, its kind of a shot in the dark on my part making this one)

"How curious... Everthing just feels so familiar, like before.
Just how long has it been since then...?
All of it... The buildings, the people; the feeling... Am I... Home?

There's no doubting it, even after so long. I could never forget...!
But this must be the full Roundabout. The end of the end, to which no soul has ever seen. Am I finally free at last...?
Oh...! Oh my! This is- It's...
Simply and truly wonderful...

I'm home! I'm back! Oh my goodness, I'm back! That means that everyone is...!-
E-everyone...

...

I'm... I'm so... So... Sorry. I can't begin to justify what I've done... Do I even deserve this second chance?
Jolt... Taro...
I'll make this up to you. I promise."

When Jason and his fellow developers are tasked with working on their game’s latest expansion, they find themselves on a death march to get it completed before the deadline. Jason takes on a three-day shift to test certain aspects of the expansion pack. Only when he finally passes out from the exhaustion... he wakes up in the body of his test character! Left in the bright land of Equestria as Blackjack, he must figure out his powers and maybe even a way back home.
This new death march will test his abilities to interact with the Equestrians, for better or worse.

This story is a sequel to KONO DIO DA!

DIO learns the perks of being a protagonist you know like, not being killed off as easy (glad he's not in SnK amirite), whilst a murderer with Stand power is on the loose! Will DIO find Higashikata Ambulansuke on time to defeat this monster and his Killer Queen?

Disclaimer: There may or may not be an ambulance.
If you don't get this joke, watch DiU. Please, just do it.

EDIT: Read blog for comical rundown. I'm placing the story on hiatus. This just means updates will not be in a timely manner, and that writing will dramatically decrease as it is hard to find the mood for comedy. Sorry guys.

EDIT: I should keep track of edits, I finished this story a while back.

Steve is the only Crafter left. A terrible war against Herobrine had taken everyone from him. He lives, but without purpose. His happy-go-lucky attitude hides decades of war and scars. He wishes for a second chance, a way to make it up to those he lost. Now, due to unknown powers, he arrives in Equestria. Can these peaceful ponies make a mark on a battle-scarred Crafter, or will the darkness inside consume him from the inside out.

Post Discontinued Edit: Wow, that Description is way off the mark. I can't believe I wrote this. Anyway, if anyone is reading this, then, well, yeah, the story is discontinued. Has been for a while.

Sorry.
