There have been a LOT of high-quality readings of Silent Ponyville, but this one is my personal favorite:

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.

After miscasting a spell Twilight's friends begin to feel differently about her. When Luna and Trixie show up in town things really start to get crazy. It seems a new competition has begun on who can win the purple unicorn's heart. Meanwhile Twilight struggles to understand why everypony seems to be falling head over hooves for her. Well not literally everypony, but you know what I mean.

WARNING: This pretty much ignores Season 3 entirely. Well Trixie's part anyways.

My name's Rainbow Dash. I'm Equestria's fastest pegasus, I'm the Element of Loyalty, I've saved the whole kingdom more than once, I've laughed in the face of danger, and I'm a coward. That's right, I said it. I'm a coward. I've always been sure I could do anything. Win any race, beat any opponent, complete any job. But this is something I can't outrun, outsmart, or outlast. What's causing me—the most awesome pegasus ever—so much trouble? You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Since her return and rescue, Princess Luna has been looking for some way to properly honor the six mares who saved her from herself, but nothing she has been able to think of has seemed meaningful enough to repay her saviors.

Nothing, at least, until she spends Nightmare Night in Ponyville, and gets to actually know the six ponies to whom she owes such a great debt. She realizes she enjoys their company, and wishes for them to spend more time with her, that she might grow closer to them.

So, in accordance with many fine and ancient traditions, and after thinking it over for a good...couple of hours, easy, she proclaims that she shall marry all six of them. Oh, and that Twilight will be marrying Celestia, too.

Now would be the appropriate time for everypony to panic.

NB - The sex tag is in place for sexual situations and suggestions; the story is, and shall remain, free of explicit sex.

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.

Bubble Berry asks Rainbow Blitz for advice on how to be manlier. Also, Dusk Shine's nemesis plots his revenge, and a mysterious creature attacks Ponyville.

This is set in the same universe as "On a Cross and Arrow." Gender swapped ponies, for the uninitiated. Because this story really wouldn't work if Bubble Berry was Pinkie Pie.

I think that even if the genderswapped ponies have the same personality, the fact that society treats people differently based on gender means that their stories might be slightly different. This is a story which is only really possible in the Cross and Arrow Universe.

Spoiler: I haven't actually read "On a Cross and Arrow". I've been meaning to. No time.

My submission for the February Write Off.

Revolution is rippling through Equestria. Twilight is left with a choice. Will she support the Lunar Republic, or the Solar Empire? On top of that, a mysterious secret order of wizards is somehow involved in Twilight's fate. She travels from city to city, guided by the mysterious Clover, searching for some answers in a world full of questions.

After Twilight Sparkle discovers a new book of pick-up-lines, she wants to bring her friends closer by complimenting them with cheesy lines.

And it does more than bring them closer...
