"Dear Princess Celestia, as your (former) most faithful student, I feel I have to warn you that this is probably a trap. Chrysalis cannot possibly be serious about this. Why would anyone, much less her, want to shoot a documentary on us?"

Chrysalis, queen of all the changeling hives and infinitely cunning architect of their plans to conquer Equestria, has a problem: She knows diddly-squat about ponies. But Chrysalis is cleverer than most—or all—changelings, and she's already devised a brilliant solution to this trifling issue: Make a movie about them.

One night at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom hears strange noises in the house, and wakes up her sister for help.

Everypony loves Queen Chrysalis, but being an evil mastermind can be hard. What if things don't always go exactly as planned? What if your hunger overcomes you? The changeling queen just doesn't know what went wrong.

Not a long story, but a series of flash fictions and vignettes.
