Pinkamena Diane Pie never saw the sonic rainboom. It was a simple reason really, but one that changed her life forever. What would have unfolded that very day, had she not had a clear view of the sky when Rainbow Dash exploded the sky?

It's a normal sort of day when Blue Collar returns home to see his adopted daughter Topsy Turvy entertaining herself with her crayons and incredibly creative drawings. He's had a long day at work and kicks back to watch a little TV, where a troubling report is playing on the news. What's a father to do when the whole world seems destined to bring unbridled chaos into an impressionable young mind?

I'm unsure if this is canon or not, in regards to my fanonverse. We'll say tentatively yes, until I decide on if I want to do anything with Screwball. I love the idea of her--and absolutely adore 'Daddy Discord', I'm just not sure if she has a place in my own 'verse yet, heh.

Just a simple little piece, I got bit by a desire to write a very short Slice of Life and nothing else. Dumbfounded on what to write about, I asked and between Bronymaster and Sunnydaze I was given two words: Screwball and tornadoes. Well, what the heck am I to do with that? But gave it about twenty minutes and bam, idea. And here you go.

Super short, but I hope you got a decent kick out of it, heh. Sometimes you just gotta write something short and silly.

Also, credit on the title (which I suck at) goes to Merc the Jerk. It was bloody perfect. I'm almost sad to use it on something so quick and done. ...perhaps there's a series of shorts here? This must be investigated.

Cover art belongs to cactusheart--whom I wanted to ask directly for permission, but sadly did not get a reply in time. So I may well remove it eventually...I really don't like using it without talking to the artist, but...I want a cover. So...yes.

A mare, trapped in her own mind. What is a day for her like? And what horror could drive such a sweet pony to madness? If only she weren't barking mad, maybe she would tell us. Maybe, she still can.
Thanks to Bronymaster for editing and pre-reading.

It's been a long wait for Grey Tiercel, ex-Manehattan Police Department detective, but soon he'll be back in the game of chasing criminals and solving cases. Just as soon as his investigator's license arrives.

Too bad nopony told the criminals to wait.

It's just a cutpurse, but Grey Tiercel has been cooped up for too long to stand by and do nothing. The chase reminds him why he took up the badge. The streets call out for his return.

But this simple chase of a simple thief will turn out to be just the beginning of the legend, so closely whispered amongst the forgotten of the city. And so angrily cried by those who would hide in the city's darkness.

This is when the Hawk takes flight.

A part of my Manehattan Chronicles: Breaking Ground and Building Blocks series of shorts.

The city of Manehattan is home to an endless number of stories--some good, some bad; some long and some short; some filled with joy and others the unfortunate victims of tragedy. This is what some call Life, but others a joke. The day by day activities of the players that inhabit this city of opportunity are just as varied. Anypony can have a good day that makes them or a bad day that breaks them.

These are the excerpts of just a few who--by their choice or by Fate--are forced to live and survive in Equestria's shining, ebon jewel.

It was a simple teleport spell. So why did she wake up in the hospital? And how come she was... one pony?

((A big thanks to Vergess. who in between running her own forum and helping me set up mine managed to make the excellent cover art. Her site is at http://z13.invisionfree.com/Equestrian_Legends/index.php and it's awesome.))

Living quietly in the Manehatten country is a little-known painter...who sees other ponies' dreams. Most of them are a little risqué. A few of them are utterly horrifying. And the only way she keeps herself sane is to paint them.

See them the way Reverie Dreamflight does...through the view from the window.

A series of shorter stories aimed at exploring the potential unmasked thoughts and desires of some of our favorite pastel equines...for better or worse.

This is a story about Nightmare Moon mooning ponies in Ponyville one night. Things quickly get out of hoof as the evening progresses.

The mane-six have left to Canterlot and winter comes early. It's up to a simple mare named Carrot Top to heal the land, and save Ponyville. Book one of an epic three book series, all based upon a background character named Carrot top.

Twilight has an experiment planned, and it centres on Rainbow Dash.

As anxious as she is, Dash really has no right to complain.

It was her idea after all.

Fan Reading!

You heard right, friends and fellows--The Album 2 has been begun! Sign up today!

Interested in joining more collabs? Then come to The Collab Cage! A group that hopes to be ALL things collab for this entire fandom!

The Album is a collaborative project between over seventy different authors. This project was designed to not only create something entirely unique and creative, but to test these authors to write in a different manner than they might normally be used to. The exercise was to take a single character--one per author and no repeats--and imagine a mental 'snapshot' of them during daily life, during a Moment we might not normally see or even think about, and write a story from said picture. So enjoy this collection of short Slice of Life tales--and be sure to check out each author's page and stories. They've worked hard to produce something amazing; please reward them for their effort!

Note: Individual Snapshots are posted in a random order (including my own), with one or two more added per day. Character tags and Rating are subject to change, but each individual snapshot will be marked appropriately.

There's still room for more; visit The Album and see if there's anypony remaining you would like to write.

Synopsis:

In anypony's life, there are the big days--tragedies and adventures, moments of loss and love, treasured memories to share and never forget.

But for every single day that comes once in a lifetime, there are hundreds that pass by unnoticed. Sometimes the simplest of moments can have just as much importance and life as the dramatic ones.

Here one can find snapshots of these moments--the every day, often unseen or even unregarded days of the lives of a variety of ponies.

Because every picture, no matter how common, is worth a thousand words.
