For my first 100 followers.

It is said that nothing in life is free, and when your life lacks any foreseeable end, the most precious things come at the highest of costs.

Is it worth it?

Is love worth pain so great that it sinks into madness? Is it worth insanity so intense that it gives way to evil? Is it worth malevolence so destructive that it aims to annihilate an entire civilization?

The answer is hidden like a Rainbow in the dark.

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

What if Twilight and Trixie were both zeppelins who were in love? At last this age-old question has been answered!

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

Many of us older ponyfans will remember or at least know about the old text-based adventure games- games that were sometimes a contest with mysterious requirements, sometimes a contest with an obstinate text parser, and sometimes a contest to keep from falling out of your chair laughing. Brought to us most famously by Infocom, these include the Zork series, as well as a few based off of other things (including even The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).

In the time since, many fandoms have had fics written as though they were these games- several for the aged Ranma 1/2 fanfiction community, and more recently the renowned You Awaken On Razor Hill (warning: not for the more temerous bronies among us, or those that are not fond of Warcraft).

So... someone ought to do it. And so if I know someone's got to do it, why leave it on another pony's withers?

Ergo: My Little Pony: Text Adventures are Magic
