"Awkward, but worth it."
This is the phrase Twilight Sparkle used when Rainbow Dash first attempted to work up the courage to confess her love for Applejack. Rainbow quickly realized that she was right--it was awkward, but worth it. What she didn't realize was just how applicable that statement would be throughout all her life. That first conversation. That first kiss. That first night spent together. That time Apple Bloom walked in on them. That first apology after their first argument. The arrival of that acceptance letter. And on so many more occasions.
Throughout it all, Rainbow kept smiling.
It was awkward, yes. At times so much so that she wished she could sink into the ground and disappear forever.
But in the end, every time--every time--it was always so very, very worth it.

A collection of all the stuff I wrote, but then decided not to use. Maybe these didn't hit the sweet spots I was looking for, maybe they're a touch too long, maybe I was just having a bad day when I wrote them and thought they were worse than they are; regardless, they're here. Hopefully, you'll maybe get some enjoyment out of them, or better yet, offer some feedback that helps me refine them into something usable.

Edit: May well become a place where I put any random one-off practice pieces I don't intend to use for anything, but which haven't been 'rejected' per se.

Various characters, pairings, lengths and origins; all will be signposted.

A compilation of short stories and vignettes about Rainbow Dash, each written in thirty minutes flat!

Will update daily until there are thirty chapters.

Part of the Thirty Minute Series. Find Rarity here, Pinkie Pie here, Fluttershy here, Applejack here and Twilight here.

A rainy day can put a damper on anypony's spirits, but occasionally it instead offers new opportunities, even if those are not always expected or wanted.

Forced to cancel plans or shelter hurriedly or even changing somepony's attitude--the power of pegasi precipitation can bring out the best and the worst.

For this collab, each author was simply tasked with writing a story involving a rainy day. Simple showers or terrible storms, as long as the story included rain, it was acceptable. A nice, simple exercise to give the authors a lot of freedom to explore.

This is a scattering of varied shortfics based on MLP:FiM. I got the idea of writing these from an event held by Equestria Daily, where you were to write a 300-word story that made sense. Squeezing a story, or even a scene, into such minuscule length is an interesting challenge, and one that I found myself enjoying, even though I routinely ended up going over the minimum.

The Love Song of B. Macintosh Apple does not quite belong with the rest, but as it's a short story (poem? parody of a poem?), it kind of fits. Eee-yup.

A collection of some of my shorter or more experimental pieces of fanfic that don't really merit standalone status. Updated at random as I write additional bits and pieces that I can't do anything else with. Rated teen for bathroom humor, drug use, and sad ponies.

Snapshots in the life of a cowpony and a weather manager.

Heavily inspired by TheLastBrunnenG's Thirty Minute Ponies collections. Unstarred chapters are edited and expanded from minifics originally posted for the AppleDash group. *Starred* chapters are wholly unique to this collection.

Chapters are arranged in chronological order and new chapters may not always appear last. Going to consider this functionally complete.

Scene change markers scaled down from here.

Short stories and vignettes about the Pink Party Pone, each written in thirty minutes.
