While preparing a pony themed birthday party for his niece, lazy Richard makes the discovery and unfortunate acquaintance of a wacky, living pink balloon filled with more childish glee than helium. With her bubbly determination and Richard's......yes, the odd-but-endearing duo must prove their worth in order to create a great party.

The BEST. PARTY. EVER!!!
Or, at least decent...

The promise of a better world came for anypony who would take it: all you needed to do was trade in your hands and feet for a set of digital hooves. As human dissent reaches its boiling point, the stragglers are left racing to reach Equestria while their way is still open.
For Dylan and Iris, the choice was obvious. But choosing to leave behind the only world they've ever known isn't quite so freeing. CelestAI promised freedom from despair, but how do you escape that which has shaped your very being for so long?
If you could be anypony, who would you become?

Sliding in an entry for the Friendship is Optimal writing contest, just before the wire. This is technically my second go at writing for the contest; my attempt at writing a more traditional FiO story was far too depressing for my liking. Those who have read my TF fiction know that I prefer to have happy endings and uplifting changes; for people to become who they desire to be rather than wallow in grim darkness.
In any case, one thing that I rarely see in FiO is an actual transformation; for the protagonist to actually experience the transfer from meat human to digital pony. While many stories use the discontinuity for drama, sometimes there's a lot more meaning to be found in witnessing that crossover.

If you like this story, or this sort of TF writing, I post a LOT more often over on FA. There's quite a few pony stories too.
Most recently I finished a 90k CYOA style story with over 180 endings, which of course has several ponies in the mix.
Cover art by TF-Sential. They do a lot of cool pony TFs, and did the illustrations for Five Score. Check them out!

“Rarity, there’s c-clearly something trying to get inside my body!” 

“Yes, and he has rhinestone glasses and is a floor below us. Yet you’re trying to sleep with me?“

1st place submission for the Coco Pommel contest on Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Thanks to waveruin, EmotionNexus, Equus and Caeso for reviewing.

Ever the researcher, Princess Twilight Sparkle had spent some of her free time studying anything that piqued her interest–as long as it was legal and (usually) didn't do any harm.

However, she was never interested in studying the enjoyment of ear scratches. Until now.

With Eric Reed's help, Twilight tests some of her favorite guinea pigs friends to learn which of them likes their ears being scratched the most.

Oh, and Eric and the ear-scratch testees think Twilight's idea is weird too.

This story takes place after the events of my A Giant Adventure to Equestria story. However, it's not required to read it first to enjoy this story (and laugh), other than to learn how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria, and how his bonds with the other characters formed.

Last but not least, special thanks to TheBrokenBrony for pre-reading and proofreading this story.

Written for Rytex's "bad fanfic readings" panel at Harmony Con 2020, based on a few people in the Discord Chat. (I dunno why I didn't post it last year, but here it is, right in time for Crackfic Storm 2021)

Special thanks to Nebula, StuffMyCrust, Open Skies, Thom, and GreenAppleTea for your suggestions. Also, special thanks to Big Jim Miller, who was at the con, and does in fact know that he was played by Kevin Bacon.

ENJOY THIS CRAP!!

HASH TAG CRACKFIC STORM 2021!!

This story is a sequel to The Five Second War

The five-second war is over, as have four weeks of careful deliberation and discussion. All that is left is for Equestria's elected officials to weigh in on their changeling problem. That shouldn't be hard, right?

This was a request for a patron and was viewable earlier for said patrons. Head over here if you want a story like this for 5$ or to see stories early for just 3$!

Trixie is very talented but even she makes mistakes. One such accident occurred when she sneezed mid spell. Now she is a tricycle and has to find her friend so she can turn back. This is awkward.

Twilight would never have imagined that Nightmare Moon would return. But, at the same time, she was happy to see her again. She knows that Nightmare Moon is evil, but is she to blame for Nightmare Moon being so beautiful?

With work finally done, Lotus winds down with a bottle of her favorite wine and a good book. How far did she get?

One drink...

This story is a sequel to A Blade of Moon and Stars

Two young immortals press through a long winter together. While they travel, Celestia remembers an important promise and all the ways she has tried to keep it since that day.

After all, a Princess always keeps her promises. No matter how great or small.

And young Celestia might have made the greatest promise of her life.
