Staring contests

A test of will and strength passed down by generations. Passed on by the very best in hopes that one day, a new staring contest champion would emerge from the ashes, achieving fame and glory surpassing that of even the gods.

This is the story of two such beings, brought together by fate to accomplish a near impossible feat.

A story of friendship, broken hearts and immeasurable sacrifice.

After the daily mountain of paperwork that results from the insanity that is Ponyville, Ivory Scroll has had enough, and has made a list forbidding things that Ponyville citizens are forbidden from doing. A one shot of surprisingly epic proportions, written in the dead of night.

This story is a sequel to My Little Background Pony: Friendship is Magic

After the Summer Sun Celebration, the Doctor has been living as Time Turner and is enjoying his new life as a resident of Ponyville. He's got a good job, great friends, and life seems peaceful.
But it doesn't last. Ponies have gone missing lately, and it seems the perpetrators are not normal by any means. Can Time Turner, Derpy Hooves, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra Heartstrings, and Octavia find out what's going on and, more importantly, put a stop to it?

Extra character tag: Bon Bon

The Doctor, the last surving Timelord of Gallopfrey, travels through time and space, along with his companions from Equestria.

The Missing Cutie Marks: The Doctor is in, making his debut in Equestria! He soon finds that not all is well, however, when ponies’ cutie marks mysteriously go missing… The "disease" is spreading, and the Doctor must find out what's causing it with the help of his new friend, Twilight Sparkle.

Traveling between parallel universes is impossible, especially during the process of regeneration, but the Tenth Doctor doesn't have time to question the facts. He's just been thrust through a tear in the fabric of reality, gotten a new body, and landed on a planet called Equestria. Specifically, he's landed in the worst possible place in all Equestria – somewhere that's ready to unleash a “big ol' storm of chaos”.

That's just the beginning of the Doctor's strange new lease on life: there's a whole host of mysteries to explore. Who is Derpy Hooves, the gray pegasus who understands more about him than even she knows how to explain? How does Princess Celestia already know him? And what's the truth behind the Order?

Above all, the Doctor needs to discover if this new universe can heal the wounds he suffered in the last. Only one thing is certain: there's an awful lot of running left to do.

(Warning: For those of you who haven't watched up to the Doctor Who episode 'The End of Time'... spoilers. Also, this story begins between Seasons 2 and 3 of FiM, and things start to... diverge from there.)

'What is it about humans that urges them seek out so many endeavors in order to feed their desires? Greed, power, family, friends, philosophy, knowledge; infinite goals and infinite reasons behind them. Whoever or whatever created these beings are either cunning; to create self motivating creatures that will constantly push the limits of what's possible, or downright cruel; never truly allowing them to feel true fulfillment or satisfaction. The point is humans were created with a void, a missing piece left intentionally empty never to be filled, an undying hunger.'

A bit grim right? The names Rodney, and in case you're wondering, this is the story of my life. A life of Magic, Gods, and regrettably, Ponies. Yeah, freakin-multi-techno-collored-goody-ponies.
But it's not all bad really, got way healthier with a more green diet. Though the lack of meat can be painful at times, that one landed me in less than desired situations. I get to screw with innocent ponies on a regular basis. Didn't kill myself or everyone else with me either. So not a bad deal really, even ended up retiring as teacher.

HIATUS: Currently at a programmer's boot camp. Will be done late June 2015.

AN: If you can see past my cruddy writing skills there's plenty to tickle your funny bones, I hope. First attempt at writing a fic.

A time-traveling alien pony.
A permanently cross-eyed pegasus.
A prim and proper cellist.
A hard-working confectioner.
A future DJ with attitude.
An aloof yet friendly lyrist.
These six ponies have been in the background for three whole seasons. Now it's time they got their own story. A story involving secrets, new friendships, and the return of a mare long thought to be an old ponies' tale.
Alternate Mane Six story. Due to five character limit, imagine Octavia tag.

Celestia suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Chrysalis. And to throw salt in the wound, her niece comes along and vanquishes the problem with (get this) love! With her subjects now doubting her absolute power, Celestia figures there's only one way to solve this. By challenging Cadence to a Magical Duel. What could possibly happen when two of the most powerful alicorns in Equestria square off in a destructive, grueling, exhausting, epic, explosive...oh wait...
