Long ago Celestia imprisoned a powerful, dangerous entity. Too bad nobody seems to realize he's a harmless dope.

This story started out as a parody of the two stories Machinations in the Dark and Celestia's Prophet. You may wish to read them first to get some context for the first chapter.

Now has a tvtropes page!

JonTron visits the land of talking, magical ponies while the author experiments with the concept of combining the literary medium and a multitude of short clips of the visual medium for a relatively entertaining experience.

HEY GUYS! I WRITTEN A STOR1Y WITH A BUNCH OF VIDEOS IN IT! ISN'T THAT AWESOME!?!??!?!!!?!1111?!?!?!

Rated T for the Tron in the JonTron ...also language.

Edit: story featured on—ah, who even cares? I mean, why even bother noting the date? What am I gonna do? Look back fondly on the exact date that my story got put in the featured box? I mean, honestly, I'm pretty sure I just lost a whole bunch of views just for having the word 'featured' in my story's summary.

Celestia has a dangerous creature held in the deepest of Canterlot's high-security dungeons. It can create ponies (with full backgrounds and histories) with it's strange and often-times prophetic powers. The Princess does her best to keep it under wraps, but its only a matter of time before it's "creativity" will get out of control.

Pulled into a strange world where myth and legends are real. Unable to communicate to the native creatures here, or even able to move for that matter... How is a human supposed to adapt to this strange world, or even manage to keep his sanity when he is encased in stone.

Sometimes, when I look at fanart... things happen.
This was one of them.
I'm sorry.

Shining Armor has everything - the wife, the house, the life. So when he rolls over to find the creature that crashed his wedding and nearly wrecked his chance at happiness snuggled oh-so-sweetly at his side, with his darling Cadance at his other, it's all he can do to keep it together and try to assemble the missing pieces.

Days after Tirek's near-takeover of Equestria, The Great And Powerful Trixie travels to Ponyville, intent on settling her rivalry with Twilight Sparkle once and for all. No trinkets to fudge her abilities, no megalomania to apologize for -- just pure and simple magician's honor!

Upon her arrival, however, she quickly learns that the information she has on Ponyville -- and Twilight -- is more than a little dated.

Amnesia. Nopony wants it. To lose their life in a flash. But they don't really get a say in it, do they? So when Written Sound wakes up from a coma to discover that he has it, it takes all of his remaining sanity to not freak out. And now stuck in a special therapy for weeks, Written Sound now has to cope will all the new memories emerging with each day...
So what happens when he stumbles upon one he doesn't want to remember?

The way this story changed and evolved was based in part by donations and requests. The first half of the story focuses on comedy and random events, the second half of the story is more serious adventure, and the end of the story has tragic overtones to it.

All anyone really knows is that this story is going to be awesome. I can say that because I am the Narrator, so I know these things. Although I have to put up with the Critic and fear the wrath of The Redacted, we've done this for many years now: taken different ponies, and thrown them together in the pot to create new stories and new plays to entertain ourselves and our audience, and to keep The Redacted pacified. Even we Draconequui have to be wary around certain individuals, after all.
Our play will continue forever; there's no way these ponies could end this neverending story... right?

Hey, I lived a rather normal life here on Earth. Had a decent job and a nice apartment. But that all changed when a mysterious biker babe offered me the trip of a lifetime. I took the chance and it turned out said biker babe was in fact an horse-like alien from another world and the trip she mentioned actually had less to do with exploring America and more to do with exploring the universe.

Just what the hell have I gotten myself into?

Over a millenium ago, a creature was dug up beneath the Crystal Empire— a sleeping god. But as all shall know, a sleeping god still dreams.

Holy bugger I hit the featured box, 12/09/2014. Also, turns out I have a TV TROPES page . http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/Millennium

I would like to thank the brilliant C-Conztantine on Deviantart for his allowing me to use his fantastic illustration.
