Sometimes you just have to remember who they were...

-- Cancelled --

Luna was never banished, Discord is Celestia's court jester, the Elements of Harmony do not exist, and Twilight grows more pompous and more egotistical every day.

Celestia is not amused.

This story is on indefinite hiatus. I might revisit it, so it's not cancelled, but I'm not currently skilled enough as an author to do some of the things I wanted. Believe me, I've got the drafts to prove it.

Rainbow Dash is in love. Let's get that out of the way. But when she approaches her friends for advice, she finds that the lessons they impart might not be worth the trouble... or are they? As the murky undercurrents of personal motivations start to get in the way, Rainbow finds that sometimes, advice comes with a price, and sometimes, secrets are more than just two layers deep...

-Cancelled until further notice-

Ponyville is a quiet little town filled with many nice, regular things. But as its inhabitants will soon learn, even some of the most boring towns has their own episodes of just... irregular things.

Especially when it comes from ponies seeking out some sort of unhealthy obsession of theirs...

-A collection of chronologically organized stories where ponies begin to satisfy their hungers for the strangest things.

This story is a sequel to Reading Rainbow

Pressed by the looming shadow of academic tardiness after her internment at the hospital, Twilight again attempts the use of the Split-Sight spell to catch up on her studies. But when a strange side effect alters more than just her vision, she finds that things might not go quite as she had planned.

It's been twenty one years since B1 66ER murdered his master. Hannah grew up during the backlash against AIs that followed in the 2090s. While tensions between AIs and humanity have cooled to a slight degree, she sees that Zero One announcing itself to the world a few years ago has begun opening old wounds and picking at ones that haven't even begun to heal. This can only lead to further conflict she reasons.

As the lead programmer of Hofvarpnir Studios she sees a potential solution in the AI created to govern the company's latest MMORPG: Equestria Online.

A Friendship is Optimal/The Matrix Crossover

... and learns important life lessons, somewhere in between everything going wrong.

Humanity has grown to control most of the Sol system, and looks to distant stars for further expansion options. When probes discover an uncannily-earthlike planet at a vast distance, the Solar Government takes on a project larger than any before it.

A colony ship, carrying over seven thousand people, the Eclipse is constructed. Thanks to its translight engine, it is capable of making the journey within two decades. The expedition is launched with high hopes, its crew made up of the best and brightest, setting out to prove that the vastness of space was no longer an insurmountable obstacle, that landing on distant worlds full of life was no longer just a pipe dream.

What happens when this colony ship's crew arrives at their destination would forever change humanity's outlook on the rest of the universe, as well as what could be deemed possible. Supernatural beings, energies unexplainable, and most importantly, sapient organisms all populate this mysterious, fertile world. In all of its extensive preparations, is the Eclipse versatile enough to tackle the task assigned to it? Or, more importantly, is its crew?

This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight Sparkle's 505th Birthday

Smarty Pants, Honeycrisp, and Sandy find themselves stuck in the salad days of Equestria, four hundred and eighty years in the past. Can they get back without screwing up everything?

Probably not.

This story is a direct continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 505th Birthday, which is itself a continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th Birthday. To really get a grasp on what’s going on you should give both of those a read in the right order. You can skip them if you'd like but... Oh boy, will you have questions.

Notes:
- Cover art commissioned by HAK2. Check out his other stuff, too.
- This is a story in the Birthdayverse.
- Many thanks to my faithful Pre-Reader and all around super-duper best pony, Blood Lord go read his story, too!
- And thanks to the newest pre-reader to join in the craziness, Razalon The Lizardman. Keeper of the mighty Em dash! Go read his stuff, too!
- Dedicated to my wife. Her love keeps me going and her snark keeps me smiling.

As always, please leave comments and critiques.

A brony wakes from a bizarre dream and finds he's traded in hands for hooves. Unfortunately for him, he's still stuck on Earth, as somepony seems to have overlooked the 'magically appear in Equestria' part of the transformation. Suddenly adrift in the land of the rising sun, he'll have to make his own path if he ever wants to see the green fields of Equestria.

Much as I like this story, since 'Just Passing Through' blew up beyond my expectations, I haven't been able to devote the time to this story. Given my limited writing time, it's unrealistic to try to juggle both, and I shouldn't try to pretend otherwise. So while I hope to return to it once my other project has concluded, for the moment, I have to be honest and mark it as on hiatus.
