This story was inspired by this comic by swaetshrit.

A pony is the collection of her experiences. But what if those experiences never occurred? As Pinkie's reality falls apart and gives way to a much less party-filled world, she will have to ask herself: Who was I, who am I, and who should I be?

The original versions of the first two chapters can be found here.

This story is a sequel to The Horrible Misunderstanding of Cupcakes

Pinkie Pie tries to tell her friends the true nature of the events they witnessed earlier. This might be a little harder than expected.

This story is a sequel to The Perfect Little Village of Ponyville

After Vinyl Scratch helps Twilight to escape from the deadly dreams the Elements of Harmony have all been trapped in, they decide to head back to save the others, and to start with the dream world of Pinkie Pie, since she surely would be the best guide to get them through the dreams of anypony.

In retrospect, two ponies treading alone into the mind of the pony with Pinkamena in her head might have been a less than wise decision...

Sequel to "The Perfect Little Village of Ponyville" (which the above description just spoiled utterly if you haven't read it yet). Additional tags may be added after the story spoils them.

Vinyl Scratch wakes up to find herself the personal student of Princess Celestia, sent to the obscure village of Ponyville to oversee preparations for the millennial Summer Sun Celebration.

Vinyl can only imagine two possible explanations for what has happened: she has tumbled into an alternate universe where she's Twilight Sparkle, or, after everypony telling her she'd do it eventually, she's finally gone and lost her mind.

Alternate Universe tag is obvious. Missing though, is the Drama tag (oh wait, they have that now--fixed!), and the "She's Finally Gone and Lost Her Mind" tag, which may be substituted by a CrazyPinkie emoticon.

Cover illustration based on a work by ThatsGrotesque. I'd love to see an artist include the versions of the Mane Six from this fanfic, though.

In the next installment of my Disney parody series, the ponies star in a "Pinocchio" retelling, obviously starring Pinkie Pie as the innocent (and naive) puppet against a world of danger. Only her conscience, Spike, can get her out of various messes!

On the first anniversary of the defeat of Nightmare Moon, Pinkie Pie is preparing the party to end all parties. It is her masterpiece, to show her father that she was justified in fleeing the family farm ten years earlier.

Acting off of a mysterious remark by Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle is trying to work out which of her friends is suffering from nightmares about a horrible danger coming to Ponyville during the Summer Sun Celebration. All she knows is that this pony lied about their cutie mark story...

And Pinkamena is also preparing for the arrival of her father. She has a masterpiece of her own, but it is quite different from Pinkie's...

Pinkie Pie undergoes an emotional crisis during the events of 'Party of One", struggling with the difficult idea that her friends don't truly care for her and her life is not as it once seemed. A spiraling chain of events occurs that threatens the group dynamic.

I've had a long life. I've loved, and lost, and laughed, and cried. I've met more ponies than almost anyone else. But I can feel it all drawing to a close, and this story is nearing its completion.

We never realise just how much some ponies mean to us until they're gone, and there is always one pony in particular that means the most. And when that pony goes we can do nothing but remember them, try to keep them alive in thoughts...

And remember...

Pinkie Pie was always known for her crazy antics. But she just raises the bar on this one.

Somehow, someway, she found herself a unicorn horn. Even worse, she finds out she can use magic.

Everypony should be afraid.

This story has been slightly re-written! Enjoy it for what it is now!

After Pinkie messes up Twilight's latest experiment, they find themselves combined into one pony. Juggling two personalities, the new 'Twilight Pie" attempts to have fun and party while still investigating the scientific implications of this strange biological occurrence. There's plenty of wackiness to be found in the third installment of the collaboratively written fan fictions.
