REWRITTEN
-I've added about 2,000 words overall to the story, and clarified some issues that people had.

Two parents are forced to give up their child, leaving her to the fate of an orphanage with a dark secret. Every day is a struggle when the place you live crushes your hope further each day.

/> Gilda always gets all of the flak from writers, so I thought I'd write a story that gives her a lighter side, and perhaps explains why she is the way she is. Also, please give me all the feedback you can! Suggestions, comments, concerns, and questions are all welcomed!

EDIT: I changed the cover. It no longer uses the same cover image as Feathers.

Life is hard, especially for a certain yellow pegasus. Torn and depressed, Fluttershy had just about given up on life. But with a second chance, and the help of an unexpected friend, can she learn what it truly means to be happy?

The recoil from Family Appreciation Day was too much for Diamond Tiara. Her fellow students turned their back on her, Cheerilee was upset with her, even her own father had been severely disappointed with her actions. She has no one left now. Her perfect world is falling apart. And only one pony can help her. The only pony she could ever count on.

But is she her friend anymore?

Warning: Fic contains empathy for a dislikable character. If you want to keep hating Diamond Tiara, then avoid this fic. Otherwise, read on.

Author's Note: I wrote this after watching Family Appreciation Day and noticed the subtle divide between Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. An idea formed in my head and I had to write this oneshot as soon as I could. Certain questions maybe unanswered or details may be missed. If you spot any of those, I apologize. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the fic.

Will true love blossom, or will this rolling stone of love gather no moss? Rarity/Tom shipping.
Featured on EQD, amazingly enough.

What if Twilight Sparkle's letters to Princess Celestia started a religion?

This is the story of Brother White and Brother Scroll. One of them is an upstanding young unicorn eager to do whatever he can to make other ponies happy. The other is a shy little loner who's never had a real friend before. What do these two young stallions have in common? They are both members of the Fraternity of the Joyous Friends of Princess Celestia, an organization dedicated to teaching Equestria and the world about the magic of friendship. When Scroll and White are assigned to Earthquake Island, however, they find themselves in over their heads. Can the teachings of the Book of Friendship help them save an island run by a brutal warlord, wracked by war, poverty, and hatred?

If we couldn't use copyrighted material we couldn't write fan fiction, right?
Answer: Of course we could, We just have to tip toe around certain words and phrases. This is an example of such a fic. This is loosely based off of "Party of One."

Everyone is out of character or extremely warped.

This was written based on very ignorant understandings of how the SOPA/PIPA thing works.

I shouldn't have to explain who is who in this story.

WARNING: EXTREME LANGUAGE AND HOMOPHOBIC/RACIST SLURS. The views expressed by my characters are not my views. If you're easily offended by a piece of comedy, don't read. If you complain about it being offensive, then you're obviously not listening to me.

We're on Chapter 1. The majority of the major characters ahve not appeared yet. If this goes against the site rules, inform me and I will edit accordingly.

R. Lee Ermey wakes with a splicing headache. Where is he? He'll soon find out.

R. Lee Ermey crashed into Ponyville.

Join Ermey and the mane 6 as they work through a series of wacky adventures comparable to absolutely horrendous movies like 'Click', 'Jack and Jill' and 'AnyAdamSandlerMovieEverMade'. A completely nonsensical, fic. Written for the pure enjoyment of those mindless sheep who watch Fox News and Family Guy. Sorry Adam Sandler, Fox News and Family Guy fans. But your sense of comedy is just as terrible as mine. So we're all together in this one.

With the time she has left, Rainbow Dash seeks what is truly important in life before moving on.

What happens when our favorite boy genius gets sucked into another dimension to find a world filled with cartoon-like ponies? What's more Opal has teamed up with Nightmare and is trying to take over Equestria. Can Artemis save this new world?

Young Iron Will tries out his fledgling workshop on a certain difficult (and sulky) griffon.
