5 contributions to the Ponyville Ciderfest 2023 Storytelling Adventure App AKA 5 tales from the Book of All Stories.

For those who don't know: The Ponyville Ciderfest Storytelling Adventure was an interactive story that ran throughout the 3-day convention in 2023. An "Alternate Reality Game" that involved actors, events, quests, and an interactive app that contained dozens upon dozens of bite-sized stories. These stories were unlocked using code words hidden around the convention, and each one offered multiple endings that would contribute pages from the Book of All Stories to one of three factions.

It was an honor to participate in the event, even though I could not attend the convention myself. The five stories below are my contributions, with their code words and all possible endings. Each story will have a brief description at the top, and the endings will be separated into separate chapters for a true CYOA experience.

I hope you enjoy these few scattered pages.

As is tradition post-Twilight-Really-Messed-Up-The-Multiverse, the Prime Rarityship Council has its latest meeting. What bonds these Raritys together? The simple fact that they’re all dating a different member of their close friend group.

Commission for Dimbulb.

This story is a sequel to The Enchanted Kingdom

Twilight confides in Rarity after both wake up from different nightmares.

Short ficlet set in The Enchanted Library-verse. Having read all the way up to The Enchanted Kingdom is necessary for context and impact, so I wouldn't recommend reading this if you haven't finished that (or don't want spoilers for TEL).

A relationship cannot be defined in just twelve days, but if Shining Armor and Big Mac had to pick, it would be these.

Written for daOtterGuy for the Enchanted Library Secret Santa 2023!

A mix of strange circumstances means that Gilda and Gallus are not spending the holidays in Griffonstone
"enjoying," or rather surviving, the Blue Moon Festival. Instead, they are in Equestria for Hearth's Warming. Can Gilda put her griffon grump aside to enjoy a more wholesome holiday? Maybe she can with Gallus's help.

Written for Teofilo for Jinglemas 2023

At Teofilio's request, Gilda and Gallus are step-siblings in this story.

Twilight and Luna have both been escaping to the moon for when the burdens of Equestria become too much, and they want to be absolutely alone - except it's always been to the opposite side of the moon to each other, so they've never noticed the other there before. Now that Luna's found Twilight, she'll have to fight her for it! This is obviously a love story about the inherent eroticism of a land based tax system.

Set in the timeline between Twilight's coronation and the events of the finale.

A commission for Iisaw, one of my favourite people.

When Twilight Sparkle brought the human internet to Equestria, among the many consequences, there was one she hadn’t anticipated:

Princess Celestia falling for e-mail scams.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this is a crackfic, but I'm also not saying that.

This story is a sequel to Eyes So Dark

In an attempt to relieve her boredom as a prisoner, Rarity convinces Empress Andromeda to let her tag along on a trip to an abandoned town–a town Rarity will discover is a graveyard in more ways than one.

Takes place in an AU by Maximasmac. Artwork is also by Maxima.

However, one friend is not so quick to accept the truth. Can a certain little white filly learn to cope with the thing she fears most - saying goodbye?

Series of drabbles featuring MLP characters based on prompts submitted by readers, including: Therapist Luna, Rainbow Dash having one brain cell, Twilight having a wedding everyone disapproves of, and many more (as I update them)!
