An unrelated-but-ongoing series of short stories and minifics birthed from the creative-juice-producing Writeoff Association. All are laid bare in their draft forms before editing / expansion (if any). Every story added here will have come from these monthly contests; as such, one should only expect updates to this collection periodically after these competitions.

My greatest thanks to everyone in the group for their constant support, be it reviews, post-contest editing assistance, or general cheery nature.

Obiter dicta -- things said in passing.

Everyone knows how fairy tales go: We meet a dumb protagonist who does something foolish. Things go wrong. We learn a moral.

Clearly, fairy tale authors have never met Clyde Pie.

In this collaboration, a number of your favorite ponyfic authors take a fresh look at classic fairy tales, and what we can learn from the wisdom of an eminently sensible earth pony. (This is an open collection; submission rules can be found here.)

The daily give-and-take among the denizens of Ponyville and its environs. An open-ended anthology of short subjects and vignettes, each too small to post independently. "Offered for sale in fifty fairs..."

Art contributed by the gracious and generous Magello!

When I'm writing, I often get ideas. Many of these ideas are bad, or won't fit with the stories I'm writing. Some of them are sticky though. They won't go away and make room for the new ideas that I need, until I write them down as fast as I can.

From now on I keep them here, a tiny little window into the strange, strange place that is my mind. Updated when it has to be.

I've written a lot of pony words since 2012. Like...a lot. This is a collection of the ones you might not have seen before.

Some of these are reposts with links back to where they can otherwise be found.
Some are from the writeoff contests and I don't intend on cleaning them up.
Some are mini-fics I write in the skype groups, cuz I had a funny thought. Yes, I write fics in skype. I know I'm a weirdo. Shut up.

Basically, this is a place for me to put things that don't fit anywhere else. These aren't intended to be continued, cleaned up or expanded on, but hey, you never know. These are in the rough, so if that bothers you, move along.

This story serves as a collection of works that are too short in length or weak in execution to be published as individual stories. See below for a brief description of each chapter:

A Pale Horse - Somepony is following Discreet Deliberation.
A Dash of This, a Dash of That - Twilight casts a spell with unintended consequences for Rainbow Dash.
Verdict - Twilight Sparkle prosecutes a crime of grave importance.
Fantasy Hoofball - A new sport is sweeping across Equestria.
I Don't Think You're Ready for This... - Love blooms at the Grand Galloping Gala.
Cinderarity - Rarity tells the Cutie Mark Crusaders a bedtime story.
Light and Dark - Celestia and Luna have a conversation.
May the Best Pet Win - Edwin has a plan to claim the position of favored pet.
Monsters - Some monsters do not look like monsters.
Soul Proprietorship - Minuette and Twilight have a run in with the Devil. (s??)
Trixie and Pumpkin Cake Save the World - Title is self-explanatory. (Okay, not really.)
Prisoner in Pink - Pinkie Pie is trapped in the Village.
Scootaloo and the End - Being a kid and growing up. It's hard and nobody understands.
My Little Pony: The Movie: The Fix-Fic - This is how things should have ended. Trust me.
Cymothoa Exigua - A young colt gets something he's always dreamed of. Everyone is happy.
Anagnorisis - Sometimes, a sudden revelation can change everything about how you perceive a story.

Tales of the strange and uncanny, too short to stand alone.

Welcome to my nightmare. I hope I didn't scare you.

Titanium Dragon

A collection of flash-fiction stories about ponies, ranging in tone from weird slice-of-life to speculative tales of possible future Equestrias.

A few years after Twilight and Celestia's marriage, they begin to worry that their obligations to the job are interfering with their obligations to each other. So they decide to take a break. A few spells and perfectly legal papers later, and they are ready to start their lives as Sunny Skies and Dusky Sparks, just your average, everyday, married couple living and working in a suburb of Manehatten.

(Non chronological story, with many chapters based on prompts for the Twilestia Group Collab.)

Rated T for Tantalizing.
