Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

While at a slumber party telling spooky stories, Twilight learns of one story that is supposedly true, and just has to investigate...

(READ ALL OF THIS) You have been given the Human's Guide to Life if Equestria. By some odd series of events you have come to this wonderful land of talking ponies. But a lot of you can't just jump into it without a little knowledge of your new home. Also you haven't been given this book, more like you have been forced to read every last word by Princess Celestia herself. But this is not a normal guide, no. This is a story, a story about you! In this we will cover, love and mating, your new self, settlement and careers, and many more things. So don't panic, because OMG THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

(Please I hold nothing against humanity, or HiE stories, I love each and every one of them. In fact I'm giving them each a big shoutout for inspiring me. This is my second fanfic, and I just did it for the pure enjoyment of writing. It is roughly based off the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I will update occasionally and I will finish it.)

(Rated Teen for: Some sexual references, crude humor, and mild goofiness, and a teeny tiny bit of swearing. And fourth wall breaking. )

And this also a Guide, not a Manual.

An odd request from Princess Celestia stirs up a new hurdle in the life of the mane six.
With one month until the next Gala, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and the rest of the gang are given extra tickets. Why? Simply so that they may ask their special stallions to attend with them. But with one month until the Gala comes one month to choose who to bring.

Lyra teleports a human to Equestria to learn more about their culture. Some SF concepts in the first two chapters, but probably going to delve into slice-of-life and some platonic romance.

My first foray into fiction after a ton of essay writing. C&C welcome!

Please also check out Nethelli's Far From Home, which has a similar premise and came first.

Hey there. My name's Dave; not Dave Twinkles, or Davebubble, or even Donut Dave. It's just Dave. I'm a salespony, and I live in a little town just south of Canterlot called Ponyville. If that name sounds familiar, it's because, even though Ponyville is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, we've got something that no other town in the world has; a six little super heroines. Or, at least that's what they say...

Ditzy Doo "Derpy" Hooves is a mare with special needs. She has a steady job as a mailmare, caring friends, and a daughter she loves more than anything. Her life isn't perfect, and she doesn't always understand the world around her, but she manages to stay cheerful and brighten the lives of those around her every day.

A unique look on the fan-character Derpy Hooves, inspired by my favorite novel: Flowers for Algernon.

After a friend from Fluttershy's foalhood comes to visit, the shy mare starts to become even more reclusive, trying new ways to deal with her insecurity and fighting with her troubled past.

The author would like to formally apologize for the atrocity that is about to be committed. The following literature is an affront to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the My Little Pony franchise, the absurdist comedy genre and the very medium of the written word. It is an insult to artists of any medium or talent, and should not be read by anyone under any discernable circumstances.

A satirical comedy inspired by absurdist comedians everywhere, most notably the Monty Python comedy group.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
