Set in the Optimalverse, a middle-aged woman enamored of 'Equestria Online' confronts what permanent emigration to Equestria - uploading to a virtual existence - really means... but can she even hope to truly understand such a thing - and more importantly, can she trust the artificial intelligence known as 'Celestia'?

♥ As Horrified Eliezer Yudkowsky!

After months of brooding and sulking, Celestia's rage finally breaks. Convinced her subjects no longer love her she resolves to turn the monarchy into a dictatorship ruled by fear. Luna is forced to seal her sister within the sun and rule on her own for a thousand years before her return.

Ummm for any of you guys who are interested I've just started up a tumblr. Its nothing special but I'll be making it an interactive part of this story and future stories. If you want to see your ideas here I'll be happy to hear them out http://flutteringashes.tumblr.com/

(Oh hey, fourth chapter.)
Three months after the Canterlot wedding, Spike hits a growth spurt in the middle of the night. This growth spurt gives him access to more Draconic powers, heightening his senses and giving him more energy and strength.

Afraid that he will lose control like he did at his birthday party, Twilight creates
a fighting program for him. Creating this new technology, Twilight goes crazy with power.

Will Spike be able to save Ponyville before its too late? Will he be able to use his newfound powers to save his friends, or will he fall victim to Twilight's mind control?

(NOTE: This story was originally written by Firethrower 1256, but he passed the story to me as it was to go on permanent hiatus otherwise. I am now in charge of the story on his behalf. I hope you all enjoy my version!)
(Character tags will update as the story progresses.)
(Image creds to whoever made the image!)

Discord had one last trick up his sleeve to play before being locked up again: he's turned Equestria's timeless protector into its most dangerous threat. The kindhearted princess that ponies loved and adored is gone, replaced by an alicorn of iron and blood that forged Equestria out of the fires of pre-history.

Can Twilight Sparkle survive being the student of a pony who never had need of the magic of friendship or will she be forced to sit on the sidelines as Equestria irrevocably changes around her?

WELCOME TO HUMAN VS! THE ONLY REALITY GAME SHOW THAT PITS ONE FEEBLE HUMAN AGAINST THE MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF EQUESTRIA!!

Austin, a mere human with average statistics, but has a huge sense of humour and a very wide range of skills that help him survive a variety of situations. But how will he put up against Equestria? Many different Equestrias, that is!

He will be set in a variety of horrific situations: The Rainbow Factory, Pinkamena's Bakery, Magic Kindergarden...

But Austin's sense of humour is bigger than his survival instinct, so he's more likely to screw with everything rather than survive...

Will he escape the evil clutches of some of the worst Equestria has to offer? Or will he just mess with their stuff so much that they lose their minds?....Again.

Read on and find out!
