When Spike asked Twilight to help him create The Noble Dragon Code, he hoped a lot of things would happen.

Getting worshipped as a god by legions of theologically-inclined dragons wasn't really one of them but, hey, whattcha gonna do? Them's the breaks, kiddo.

Trixie steals the deed to the Golden Oaks Library. She quickly finds out this doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

Trixie vector create by Silentmatten

It's been ten years since the end of her first career, and she had long since accepted it. At first she blamed all, especially the mare that upstaged her and exposed her as a fraud. It was for the better though. Now she was known as a mare of myth: The Mist Mare. Wherever she went a magic mist followed. She was now a protector. Everypony had heard of her now, and everypony respected her now...so why didn't she care? The fame and glory were all she once cared about, but now it seemed like a hollow victory of a contest that didn't exist. Throughout all the training, all the injuries she suffered, all the fights, she didn't feel as if it mattered that they loved her. She always appreciated it, but she could go without it. She contemplated the reason why, and finally found her answer. Now it was time to return to where it all began, where she would find the mare who started her on this path. It was time to show her what she'd become. This would be: Trixie's Triumphant Return!

On ponychan's training ground, a thread popped recently proposing a characterization exercise. For the exercise, I asked on the TTG channel who I should pick, and they chose Trixie for me. This is the result of the exercise.

Quoting Ganymede here:
"Here's how this works:

You write a short scene, 500 - 2,000 words, and then we read your scene and tell you how well you wrote that character.

The scene is:

A young filly is crying in the town square.

Write a scene where:

1) Twilight Sparkle happens across the filly during her normal errands.
2) Rainbow Dash sees the filly as she's practicing her stunts.
3) Pinkie Pie comes across the filly as she's doing... whatever it is that Pinkie Pie does.
4) Rarity notices the filly on her way to get more supplies.
5) Fluttershy comforts the filly as she's coming to visit Rarity.
6) Applejack greets the filly as she's coming to setup for the market.

This is a "pick n' choose" list. You don't have to do all of these, and you don't have to write them in any particular order. If there's only one character you think you need work on the most, feel free to only write the scene with that one character.

We're looking for:

1) Dialog
2) Body language
3) Vocabulary
4) Thoughts and internal dialog
5) General approach (how does the character handle the situation?)

There are no rules as to how the scene plays out or how it ends. Just imagine the character in the situation, and play it out exactly as you think it would.

It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED that you put these in a google document, so it doesn't clutter the thread. Also, enable comments.

You may write the scene with a character that is not one of the mane 6, if you wish, although it is recommended that the character have a personality firmly established in cannon. "

Fed up with the way the political elite are handling the ruling of Equestria, Trixie decides that it's time for a change of pace. She decides it's time to overthrow Celestia.

Celestia decides it's time to have a little fun.

You guys can thank Razgriz (and the latest Seattle's Angels post) for this one.

The god of chaos was cast down his throne and his reign of terror ended. Everypony celebrates the newly restored peace and freedom, but one pegasus is left reflecting.

An exercise in writing the same scene from two points of view. Rewritten.

This story is a sequel to Nightmare Moon's third coup

A simple continuation of where we left off last time, with Celestia being sent to a camp to work off those pounds on her flanks. A month has gone by and she is coming back for her throne, from her sister Luna who sent her away. Will it end tears, bloodshed, another thousand years to the moon, or something far worse?

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.

Pinkie Pie gets her friends to explain various aspects of Ponydom to the audience (aka a wall of Sugar Cube Corner's kitchen). A silly story poking fun at some of the fan-produced elements of MLP.

Twilight Sparkle is a gifted student and scholar. When she attempts to harness her creative side by writing a science-themed sensual romance novel, however, things rapidly get out of hoof. Can her friends stage an intervention before she humiliates herself (and them) at a prestigious literature recital?

No. No, they cannot.
