There are certain responsibilities which come with being a Princess, and Twilight's still learning about most of them. She's slowly adjusting to meeting diplomats, attending ceremonies, and hosting functions. However, being on the receiving end of the scheduled, contractually-obligated kidnapping came as something of a surprise. And she really doesn't understand why she's supposed to cooperate with it.

Her kidnapper's starting to become a little frustrated.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

Discord never betrayed Equestria for Tirek, aiding in returning the magic to all the drained unicorns. As a result, Celestia deems him ready of a "small" gift: The Archduchy of the Everfree, technically making him the highest noble under the princesses.

Naturally, this shocks everypony, including Discord himself. Now of course his lands will some have some chaotic magic and strange laws in effect, but that doesn't mean he doesn't take the noble thing a little seriously. Why is anypony's guess, but it'll be entertaining to watch.

On a visit to the Everfree forest, Fluttershy encounters a creature she has never seen before. It’s tall, it wears clothes and nopony can understand it. Can the ponies of Ponyville make friends with this new creature, even when they do not understand eachother?

Huge thanks to lordelliott for helping me proofread and edit.

Trixie Lulamoon is a magician, a performer by the moniker of "The Great and Powerful Trixie". In the aftermath of her Alicorn Amulet takeover of Ponyville, Trixie left to try once again to succeed in being a traveling magician. As she ventues to the more remote places in the world, Trixie soon learns that she needs to back her title of "The Great and Powerful" to survive.

The Chosen Undead has woken up in a strange land after Defeating the Lord of Cinder and lighting the First Flame. While she cannot remember how she got there, or why she was alive and well, she is in awe of a land that is not in ruins and flourishing. After saving an odd creature named Trixie, the Chosen Undead decides to travel with her to find purpose once more.

Everyone knows the big moments in the stories: the hero vanquishes evil, the lovers' lips meet for the first time, the filly's first flight, the realization of a dream. They come, they go, and we remember because they were meant to be memorable.

What of the smaller moments? Those inconsequential points that so many forget, but you remember? An idle conversation, baking in the kitchen, the end of a dive, a walk in the woods. So often plain, so commonly 'common'.

Or are they?

A collection of shorts written my multiple authors with only one theme: making small moments seem important. The goal is to learn to develop scenes and create more beautiful narrative. This is purely for practice and self-growth; stories are not intended to be linked together in any way, and may not even have a purpose within themselves. That's not the goal. Just write, and make something little seem so like so much more.

Anyone may provide entries. Yes, even you. The rules:

1) Entries must be between 750-1,250 words. I'll be lenient with this; if your story is 730 words, I'll let it slide.
2) Entries should avoid 'big' topics and focus on mundane, everyday things; a walk in the park, waking up in the morning, eating an early dinner, whatever comes to mind.
3) Since the purpose is to develop a more creative narrative, it is strongly encouraged that as little dialogue be used as possible. Preferably none.
4) All characters and time periods of MLP are game, including OCs.
5) Only E and T rated stories allowed.
6) If you submit something to me, you can't go back, erase half of it and rewrite it from scratch. The stories are meant to be natural, to come out without excessive thought and contemplation. Editing and proofing is encouraged, but sweeping rewrites are not, and I will not accept something like that after I've received a copy. I can't really police what you do before sending something to me, but just know that if you spend more than five minutes plotting it out prior to writing it, you're doing it wrong.

To get your entry into this collection, send me a PM with a link to it. GDocs is preferred. I retain the right to reject any entry sent my way, but I assure you that I will always give you a proper reason for rejection should that happen.

An idea I can't get out of my head, so I figure why not use it to get back into the swing of writing?

Twilight Sparkle finally achieved her destiny. She was now a Princess of Equestria, and needless to say her friends were surprised. When a second, unicorn Twilight Sparkle appeared alongside the new alicorn, even Princess Celestia was shocked. Now the Elements of Harmony must help the pony make friends and learn magic, as well as get used to her surprising un-Twilightness.

Meanwhile, a 17 year old high schooler with nothing to do during summer hits his head and wakes up in Equestria. He must now learn how to live his new life as Twilight Sparkle's "twin sister" and survive in a town where a catastrophe happens every Tuesday or so.

This story is a sequel to Keeping It Simple

Octavia has fought hard in her life for three things: her art, her career, and her new boyfriend. She never learned to stop fighting.

It's a mistake that might cost her two out of three of the things she's fought tooth and tail for. She's still figuring out which two.

This story is a sequel to What I've Done

This is the third book in The Humanity Within Trilogy. If you haven't read the other two books first, go back and do that now. Don't worry, this will still be here when you get back...

Also, if you've already finished this trilogy, you should be happy to know that the next book in the series, A Darkened Sky, is out right now! Go read it, follow it, and all that stuff!

I don't know what to believe anymore. I was sure they were all monsters, all demons bent on destroying any peace I and my new friends might find in this life.

I was wrong.

Instead of burning this world down around me, their weapons are pointed away from the planet, not towards it.

As if that conundrum wasn't perplexing enough, I also have to deal with finding my own place in this odd, yet familiar society. But how does one simply go back to being normal? Especially knowing that the real monsters that caused this mess in the first place could be just around the corner?

After all, it's not like I'll ever see my home planet again. They may not be here to hurt me or my friends, but I still don't trust these 'friendly' aliens to get me a ride home...
