Princess Luna had a long night of patrolling Canterlot for any threats and is very tired by the end of the night. Making her way back to her room with the intention of getting some much needed rest, she falls asleep.... but not for long. She is rudely awoken by Pinkie Pie without managing to get much sleep.

The day just keeps getting more tedious for Luna as she tried to simply get some sleep.

----------
I only put Luna down for the main character despite there being a few appearances by the Mane 6 and Celestia since the focus is on Luna.

Scansion has a problem. The poems that flow from his pen at night are the most beautiful he's ever written, but he doesn't remember writing them. Drawn ever-deeper into an exchange of letters with a voice that speaks only through his work, he must discover the truth: Is the lonely, recently-returned goddess of the night reaching out to him in the only way she can, or is he chasing shadows?

REWRITTEN IN 2018! WOO!
Equestria Daily
Here's the music a friend made for the book based on how he felt when reading it.
Da semi-sequel be here.

Ignore the first story with his name. It is just what passed through his mind one day. This is his true appearance.

The Psychopath is a stallion with an unknown relation to the princesses, and yet he is held within the lowest levels of the Canterlot castle dungeons. He is completely chained up in his dark and dry cell, only ever thinking about his next prank and humming tunes that come from nowhere. His existence has been kept secret for centuries, and only the council and a few select guards know of him. Now, another mare will know of his existence. Twilight Sparkle will free him inadvertently, causing the psychotic pony with a strange appearance to float about Equestria, causing mayhem and destruction in the form of "pranks". How will the student deal with somepony who is apparently not trying to cause harm but does so anyway?

The image was made by Stalin the Stallion . Thank him for giving about thirty minutes of his life to draw that. (How did he even do that in half an hour?)
Proof-reader and aid for rewrite: Majora and masks. (Obsolete)
Proofreader: Twilight Scratch. Spank you very much for helping me. (Obsolete due to rewrite but they did help in the past)

Today, King Sombra is reviled as one of the darkest and most evil beings to ever blight the face of the world. When the Crystal Empire was freed from his grasp, the people of Equestria were more than happy to forget him.

But Sombra was not slain, and he has not forgotten. He alone knows the truth behind his tyranny, the reason for his fall.

And he will be remembered.

Looks like I need to rework large chunks of this story :>
Added tags: Sad
(The sequel is here)
Youtube reads by Spore Harvest start here.

Sometimes, your inventions can bring about great good for humanity. And sometimes, they do the opposite. However, a single man actually did BOTH with his creations, and is one of the few survivors left on Earth after the "Ash fall". He decides, with his breakthrough in spatial rendering, to leave the destroyed Earth behind and go for a new world. He aims to go to a fresh Earth, where everything is as it should be, without his existence.

Unfortunately, he goes slightly off-course, and ends up in the wrong world. How will his technology get him through this?

If any of you don't like a little pseudo steam-punk, then you shouldn't read this, because the main character's technology is heavily influenced on its style...except for three certain things.

The beginning of the story was inspired by "Techno-Babble in Equestria" made by N64Fan. You should go check it out. It's pretty good.

That work of art is "Steampunk Wanderer" by amlaidgh. I only found the name of the artist, so I don't know where it could have been originally posted. The original version of this art seems to be "Wanderer above the sea fog" by Caspar David Friedrich.

After discovering a changeling infiltrator Princess Twilight Sparkle decides that it's time to remove the threat of the Changeling Hive. She will free them from the tyranny of Queen Chrysalis, and bring harmony to them, proving to all that she is fit for her new station.
The changelings are not so easily swayed, and rebel against the perceived invasion. Will the changelings be able to retain their sovereignty, or will they become annexed by Equestria? The Changelings are fiercely independent, and Twilight is just as fierce in her quest to bring harmony to them, which side will break first?

Marko and Ishmir are polar opposites. But that’s what makes the Spartans so good together. So good in fact they can take on a whole Covenant space station and win.

Unfortunately extraction didn’t go too well, and the headhunters find themselves stranded on an unexplored planet. Can Ishmir keep the peace with the locals and get the Spartans home; or will Marko cause an interstellar incident?

My money’s on the latter.

Halo (non-canon) vs. My Little Pony (season 4) Crossover

Rated Teen for gratuitous swearing, violence and suggestive themes.

A typical cliché Trixie and Twilight story, where Trixie shows up at Twilight's library one day, asking for help. Only with a little twist.

Sorry that this delayed the Twixie series somewhat. I just really wanted to write a story involving filly Trixie and Twilight so much :3

My name’s Marcus. Marcus Cortez. I’m currently a freshman at CUFTA. You don’t know what that means? Well, it stands for “Canterlot University for the Arts.” While it is a little unsettling to go to college in a completely different world from my own, and while being a human in a school full of mostly ponies is a little intimidating, I’m doing fine so far. I don’t have to worry about roommates, since I don’t live in a dorm. I live with my aunt.

Her name is Celestia. Princess Celestia.

You’re probably wondering how a human could be the nephew of a pony, and an alicorn princess, no less. Well, it’s quite the story.

In case you haven't guessed yet this is an anthro story, and my first time writing a story in first person, so we'll see how this goes.

The prologue for this story starts sixteen years prior to the return of Nightmare Moon and the story's main events take place after Season 3 ends.

The cover picture is an original drawing of mine.
