Spike’s long lost father has finally shown up to be there for his son, but it turns out he’s not a very pleasant individual at all.

This greatly displeases Starlight.

To my regular readers, fair warning—there is no romance, there is no human, there is only Starlight kicking the crap out of a dragon.

I have no idea why I wrote this. I watched the recent ‘Father Knows Beast’ episode. It triggered me, I guess? This is my take on how the episode should have went. Suffice to say, there are some pretty major spoilers.

Enjoy… Or maybe not. I wrote it in like two hours.

Hey. I'm Noteworthy. Right now I am having a discussion with my client and good friend A. K.

It is going to be a long... LONG day.

Dedicated to my editor Ephraim Blue on the occasion of his 16th birthday. The kid's almost five years younger than me, and a thousand times smarter. I hope this story about a long suffering editor will act as a modest and heartfelt thank you.

Daring Do has faced many perils in her life. Traps, monsters, villains, and even ponies with a god complex that would make Prince Blueblood look humble. But of everything's she's ever faced, perhaps the worst is what awaits her when each adventure ends. In a humble little house in Canterlot, Daring will confront a monster worse than any other.

Her editor.

Twilight Sparkle has a version of herself in the human world. Her friends have human versions of themselves. What about Sunset Shimmer?

Spike the dog approaches Sunset Shimmer with an important question. A question she simply must find the answer to for the sake of Equestria's future.

Part of the MAD verse.

Thanks to Nova Quill/Firimil, and
Steel Resolve for their edits and suggestions!

The night after defeating Gaia Everfree, Twilight and Sunset have a heart-to-heart about their new powers. Platonic cuddling ensues.

Twilight Velvet, acclaimed author and proud mother of two, has been given a new task by her publisher. But her first assignment as editor for a fresh, young writer may prove to be more than she bargained for, as it turns out the submission isn't as fictional as she thought.

A chance encounter that will lead to the team-up of two dream authors, the creation of the most beloved adventure series in Equestrian literature and the beginning of a life-long friendship.

Pinkie Pie is a lover of everything sweet and tasty, but hates brushing her teeth. It's that time of year again and Colgate is determined to fulfill all her appointments.

It has been a few days since the Fall Formal. Sunset is the construction crew's gopher, she still eats lunch alone, and she's feeling worse than ever. At the very least, she can feel proud of not having been a total she-demon since the dance. In fact, other than being lonely, she's been a model student.

So why in the name of Celestia is she being called to the principal's office?

Twilight Sparkle is facing a crisis greater than Tirek, the Changelings, and King Sombra combined.

She's read every single book in existence.

So it is that she has nothing new to read.

She does not take it well.
