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.

Spike would like to indulge in a little late-night storytelling. If he could just get a little bit of privacy, he might churn out his masterwork. A sharp quill, a bottle of ink, and a head full of ideas. If only that owl would mind his own business.

Thanks to Uma for rough draft feedback.

When Fluttershy received her certification as a fog specialist, she only wanted a plausible excuse to write off the expenses associated with her ground-based house on her taxes. However, when an accident in Cloudsdale sends a blanket of industrial-grade clouds rolling towards Ponyville, Fluttershy suddenly finds herself in charge of coordinating the response, mostly because she's the only fog specialist in the area. Can our heroine step up to the challenge at hoof, or will she risk facing the wrath of the Equestrian Revenue Service?

No pony is the same after witnessing a work-related death, no matter who they are. The victim was young, eager, fresh-faced, and recently hired. In his last breaths, he let out a scream so heart-rending that the employees who heard it had difficulty sleeping that night. And Rainbow Dash was no exception.

But she's not losing sleep over that. What disturbs her is something far worse—something she said afterwards.

Rainbow Dash isn't having a very good day. First she was in some dark place, then it turns out she's in the hospital. Oh, and she's apparently blind now.

Eventual Twidash!

What do you do when you're the last of your species? What do you do when your entire homeworld has been completely obliterated from the star charts? What happens when your deactivated, cold husk breaks into the atmosphere of a new world after erring for hundreds of years? This is how a being of technological wonder finds itself roaming Equestria with a teeny tiny black creature and a deposed king in tow, discovering both ancient secrets of this world and, perhaps, getting a few souvenirs from the sky. Will it find its new purpose?

Twilight Sparkle goes to the Apple Family farm to retrieve Smarty Pants from Big Macintosh, and realizes that she may have done some damage to him. Concerned for his well-being, Twilight Sparkle works to ween him off his new condition, and consults with an expert on the subject. Over the following weeks, she realizes how troublesome taking care of anypony can be a hassle.

"Can you hear them? Can you hear the drums? Can you not hear the everlasting drums, beating endlessly?

I can hear them.

Soon, you shall all know who your true master is."

Within the Top Gear studios, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond have a special film to show their studio audience and to their viewers at home of their recent competition. Have the Top Gear Three met their match in speed, or will they best the fastest pegasus in Equestria?

Nightmare Moon, Discord AND Crysalis have returned to exact their vengeance on the six little ponies that caused them so much grief. But they aren't going to fight them themselves, what fun is there in that. So they decided to send them to a suspended reality where they can pit Twilight, FLuttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack against some of the greatest fighters and monsters ever invented in bloodthirsty duels to the death. Will anypony survive?
