  • Intro to Ponies 26 stories These are good even if you know little more about ponies than that some friends turned Nightmare Moon back into Princess Luna with magic friendship beams.


  • ❤ Pony Prose Perfection 34 stories Because even my Highly Recommended wasn't selective enough for these gems (<3% of stories I enjoy make it onto this list). These deserve more stars than I can reasonably give.


  • Pony Prose Imperfection 2 stories Would be in Pony Prose Perfection were it not for that one pesky serious flaw. In the case of both stories presently listed, that's entirely contained in the (skippable) epilogue.


  • ⁂ Highly Recommended 168 stories Stories I greatly enjoyed, that grab me and don't let go. (Five stars, basically.)


  • Flawed Gems 20 stories Would be in Highly Recommended were it not for that one pesky serious flaw (usually favorable treatment of immorality).


  • ⋆⋆⋆⋆ Recommended 1122 stories Not merely enjoyable, but quite excellent. (Four stars and up, if you will.)


  • Missing Piece 110 stories Would be in Recommended were it not for that one pesky serious flaw (usually favorable treatment of immorality).


  • Pick-Me-Up 112 stories To cheer the reader quickly and raise their spirits. Usually also in Recommended or up, but not always.


  • ⋆⋆⋆ Nice 2473 stories - 406 unread chapters The usual list of stories I enjoyed. (In essence, three stars and up.)


  • Cracked Glass 143 stories Would be listed in Nice were it not for that one pesky fatal flaw (usually favorable treatment of immorality).


  • Bloom Filter Trifecta 0 stories Stories in this bookshelf have gone beyond the impossible by including an algorithm with a name that puns off the main character's name and story title.


  • Proofread 1 stories Stories that I've worked on as a proofreader.

This story is a sequel to The Night Princess and the Graveyard Shift


Backed into a corner by her own political maneuvering, Princess Luna is forced to try and find a way to take a day off... from being a princess. The only problem is, being a princess is more something that you are than something that you do. And Luna was never all that good at taking time off from work to begin with.(1)

But with the aid of her sister, her secretary, and a hoofful of friends, she's got to try, for the good of the realm.

Join Princess Luna for a week of taking a day off, in the last story of the Night Princess And cycle!


(1) To those considering a joke about taking a thousand years off, shame.

From reuniting her with her sister, to saving Equestria time and time again, Celestia has more than once offered to reward them for everything they've done. Yet every time they have turned her down, intent on achieving their dreams on their own, which Celestia respected.

Until one day, when Fluttershy comes to her and asks for an... odd request.

This story is a sequel to Pirate Hats and Whatnot


Time flows on, the seasons change, and Anon continues to acclimate to his new life in a bizarre land of marshmallow horses. Thankfully, even in such a strange world, there are still some familiar truths he can depend on. The sun will rise in the east each day, the bare trees will soon be covered by brilliant green leaves, and the songbirds will return to the forest near his home at the first hint of spring...

Yes, even in a new world, there are certainties. And though he may not yet realize it, the fact that he lives in the same town as a particular pink pony means his latest plan to catch fish is most certainly going to be interrupted.

Twilight's first Winter Wrap Up in Ponyville had a rocky start. Things took a turn for the better when she assumed control over the planning and organization, but after a stressful morning and with an all-nighter in front of her, she was afraid it might all be for naught. Luckily Applejack was there and knew Twilight needed a chance to take a break and recharge.

She needed a visit to the Thinkin' Spot.

I opened my mouth and let go of the hammer mid-swing. It clattered to the flagstone floor with sparks.

Nopony had given Princess Twilight a house-warming gift. Nopony. And somepony had to fix that.

Could I arrange for everyone in Ponyville to do just that? I was differently shy than that famously shy Fluttershy, but shy nonetheless, and tongue-tied around others. I’m even scared of butterflies…

Yeah, I’m Bulk Biceps, and this is my time-bending tale.
