A Journalist is given a major scoop about a certain six ponies at the Grand Galloping Gala. But it seems that these ponies don't like the attention. Will he be able to get his story? Will he be able to go through writing it if he does? And what consequences await the aspiring writer's choice? Whatever the outcome, it is all Newsworthy.

This story is a sequel to Petriculture

It's been several months since Pinkie Pie made a stunning admission about her past that permanently changed her relationship with her friends, particularly Twilight Sparkle, but life seems to have settled back to normal (well, normal by Pinkie Pie's standards, at least). However, when an old nemesis returns and ensnares Twilight in her influence, it's up to Pinkie to make things right.

This is the second story in The Petriculture Cycle. There is a TV Tropes Page for the entire Cycle here.

In an effort to keep her mind occupied, Twilight Sparkle decides to delve once again into the grand mysteries of Pinkie Pie. This time, Twilight's focus is on her claims of growing up on a rock farm: like so many things related to Pinkie Pie, the idea that somepony could grow rocks as an agricultural product makes absolutely no sense. However, the investigation eventually leads Twilight to a rather... surprising discovery.

This is the first story in The Petriculture Cycle.

Okay, I don't know if anyone can hear this, or read this, or whatever, but I'm trying my best to use Pinkie Pie's legendary fourth-wall-breaking powers to try and get a message out.

If you can hear this, I need help. I'm in Equestria, and man, this is strange. But I'm also stuck in Pinkie Pie's body, for some reason.

Yes, it's just as weird as it sounds. And now, I need your help... because all the ponies in this town think I'm crazy!

They shouldn't have blamed themselves. While it was true that their actions did bring about the end of Equestria, the entire planet was already doomed and slated for destruction anyway. The outcome was simply unavoidable.

This did little to ease Twilight Sparkle's guilt, however. She had still chosen to research those mysterious ruins at the behest of the princess. She had chosen to decipher the symbols that lined the inside of the temple. She had chosen to inscribe those symbols in a spell and mail the result to Rainbow Dash. The only consolation she could take was that, while by her hand Equestria had been annihilated, it was also by her hand that the Pony race would be saved.

Yet, contrary to her conviction, she did not summon the meteors. They were already here. All they can do now is play the game presented to them.

This story, The Most Dangerous Game, is a pony crossover with Homestuck, by Andrew Hussie. However, I am doing my best to ensure that knowledge of the source webcomic is not required to follow the story, while avoiding making the story boring for existing fans of Homestuck. If all goes well, you should be able to enjoy the story regardless of whether or not you are familiar with what it's based on.

Yeah, it's been done before, but I'm not posting this for praise. I'm posting this because my stupid muse won't leave me alone until I do. Motivation is a fickle thing sometimes.

I do not promise to update. My higher priority is World Without Rainbows.

In the many years after the Conversion Bureaus' shutdown, Twilight Sparkle is tasked by the Princesses with finding the last living human on Earth, Isaac Hamilton, and learning the story of his past. What she hears is a tale of loss, tragedy, joy, and the discovery of one's place in the world. But how much longer would that place last with what Twilight has to tell him?

An army of Ursa Minors, led by the evil Ursa Major, bears down upon the united ponies of Equestria. Alone, these brave soldiers are helpless against the army of monstrous creatures, but with the help of Earth's greatest champion, they may just stand a chance of prevailing in the upcoming battle.
