Being a vampire can be rough. Unluckily for Twilight, she just had to end up as the most unpopular vampire type of all time. On the bright side, her last name actually makes sense now.

Thanks to my editor Pearple Prose and prereader Skeeter The Lurker for all their help!

A dying Applejack is kept company by Twilight, but they receive a visitor who offers them an alternative they had yet to consider...

Written expressly for Equestria Daily's inaugural Writer's Training Grounds. Apologies in advance for the clipped, frenetic pacing of the story, but there was a hard limit of 1,500 words, and when you're as wordy as I am, that's very difficult to obey!

Now with an awesome audio adaptation by the talented Scribbler!

Twilight Sparkle will not pass up on this incredible opportunity – a batpony stallion came to stay in Ponyville and is willing to share knowledge and information! It would allow to finally fill all the gaps in Equestrian knowledge about their species!

The questions are prepared, the tape is set. Let's start the interview!

Given the successful befriending of Discord, Princess Celestia deems that no longer will villains be defeated but instead reformed. While most have the chance to submit willingly or continue to fight, King Sombra is given little option. Brought back from the dead and stripped of all his powers and strength, it's all become a game of futility. Now Sombra only wishes he could have stayed dead all along.

Now with an audio reading by Scribbler. Check it out.

Bat Ponies have returned to Equestria following the return of Princess Luna from her 1000 year banishment.

While most of Equestria is slow to trust these strange night worshipping creatures, for one pony, it represents a perfect new avenue of study.

When a Bat Pony comes to live in Ponyville, Twilight jumps at the chance to ask him a few questions. What she didn't expect was the condition that came with those questions: That she let him take her out to dinner first.

Just a quick little story that kept on growing as it developed. The story was inspired by, and based off of a sketch image originally drawn by Jaxonian which was put up for adoption into a story.

Contains a small amount of blood towards the end of the story. Teen rating because of that.

Now with an audio reading by Scribbler. Check it out.

A Short story about how Shining Armor got his Cutie Mark.

Sunset Shimmer is having the worst day of her life. She used to be important. She was the personal student of Princess Celestia. She was a future leader of Equestria. She was the kind of mare that everypony envied.

Today, it's all crashing down around her.

Alternate Universe: What if Sunset Shimmer hadn't gone through the mirror?

There's nothing worse than feeling alone during the holidays, something that Scootaloo is all to familiar with. She knows that she has no family to celebrate with, save for a mother so drunk off cider she doesn't realize her daughter's heartbreak.

This is the filly's reality- the harsh card fate has dealt her. But this Hearth's Warming Eve, as she treks home through the brisk air all by herself, a certain rainbow-maned pegasus will show her the true meaning of family.

Every mahou filia fights for a wish. Some choose to fight for their lives, others to heal brokenness, still others to save the ones they love. But Ditzy was different. She chose to save the whole world from a cruel cycle, a cycle of despair. As an consequence, no one can remember her as anything other than a simple background pony.

No one, that is, but Octavia.

A Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica crossover. Based on episode 12. Spoilers for the series' ending is contained in this story. Familiarity with the series is recommended, but not required. Familiarity with Rebellion is not required, though the Sirens are based off Rebellion's Nightmares.

My Little Pony Season 3 Finale (and originally planned as the series finale). Magical Mystery Cure.

This is not part of the pony pov series. I wrote in my own personal response to seeing the finale.

Kendell2 helped me with this. He is NOT however involving himself with the Pony POV Series! He's still my friend and willing to help me with other stuff. But NOT with the Pony POV Series!
