This story is a sequel to Danger Than Fiction, or, Pony Pony Literature Club, or, Take a Look, You're in a Book, or, Four Nerds and an Alcoholic (Who Is also a Nerd), or, Virtue Rewarded


After braving metafictional narratives and crazed fanfic authors, Daring Do meets her greatest challenge yet: Canterlot High School. Meanwhile, the school science club has inadvertently set up an exchange student program with Equestria of their own. Will anypony or human find their way back before reality collapses under the sheer weight of the plotholes?


This all might make more sense if you read the previous story first. Or it might not. This is an exquisite corpse, and sense is in short supply here.

It was supposed to be a simple get-together. Moondancer, Lyra, Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Lemon Hearts were going to meet their old friend Twilight at a local bookstore and then go out for dinner. But somepony had the bright idea of hitting up a bar beforehand.

And then the bookstore turned out to be one of those seedy establishments peddling magic books that suck unsuspecting readers into the narrative. Oops.

Now these five mares are stuck in a maze, one built from the plots of dozens of different books. Fortunately, as graduates of Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, they’re ideally suited to escape this literary labyrinth... Or they would be, if they were a little more sober.


This is yet another exquisite corpse, so don't expect this to make too much sense. At least this time, we didn't write something that's completely impenetrable if you haven't read all our prior fanfics. Instead, we wrote something that's completely impenetrable if you haven't read a bunch of literary classics! We're moving up in the world.

This story is a sequel to Daring Do and the Journey to the Center of the Earth


...And by sequel, we mean it has barely anything to do with that story, except for one scene that will make absolutely no sense if you haven’t read that.

The dreams of Equestria are under attack, again—this time, not from the Tantabus, but a demon from another universe masquerading as the Tantabus! Princess Luna, defender of the dream realm, leaps into action. She finds unexpected help from a wall-eyed pegasus with dreamwalking powers, and a brave knight straight out of Ogres & Oubliettes—and she enlists two members of the Time Patrol as her mission support. Luna’s dream team pursues the demon across the ever-shifting, incoherent landscape of ponykind’s subconscious: giant robot fights, game shows, volcanoes, that high school from the freaky human universe, Princess Luna’s own memories… Um… What were we talking about again? I feel like I’m forgetting something important.


Yet another exquisite corpse, again set in the same 'verse as all our other stories. One of these days, we'll write a story that's so self-referential, even we don't get it... but this is not that day! Crossover tag because familiarity with Dragon Ball, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Pacific Rim, and Homestuck may be helpful. Or they may not be helpful, since half of the writers on this fic haven’t watched those, either.

Daring Do is seeking the underground City of the Talking Dogs. Maud Pie is hunting a talking dog who stole her sister's soul. Naturally, they cross paths and decide to team up.

A bewildering array of villains stand against them: Diamond Dogs, magma dinosaurs, gun-wielding apes, time travelers, an army of bat ponies and lizard ponies, a council of interdimensional evil, and a possessed crown. But those villains are about to learn the hard way that no force on Earth—or under it—can stop the dynamic duo of Maud Pie and Daring Do.


"Much like its heroines, this fic sinks to depths I never imagined were possible. 0/10"
—Quibble Pants


Update: By popular demand, we've divided this story into three chapters.

This is set in the same 'verse as our prior stories. Some parts will make more sense if you've read those other stories. Other parts will make less sense if you've read those other stories. Some parts won't make sense, no matter what you do. Because this is an exquisite corpse.

This story is a sequel to Tealove's Steamy Adventure


Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon think history class is boring, so they do the only logical thing: get their own time machine and go back to change the past. But they wind up in the future instead. And from that moment forward (and backward), nothing goes according to their or anyone else's plan.

A drink of memory-enhancing tea leads to a showdown in a storehouse of magickal artifacts. A meeting with their time-displaced selves reveals a horrible truth about Diamond and Silver's future (and incredibly irritates Twilight Sparkle). A revolution in the ancient Earth Pony kingdom puts the power to destroy all of reality into the hooves of a lunatic. The secret of Diamond and Silver's destiny gives them a power that just might save them... or kill them. And whether they're in the future, the past, or the halls of the multiversal time police, the two fillies keep crossing paths with a mysterious zebra with unclear motives.

Will the two spoiled brats be able to fix the time stream and go home? Will Diamond Tiara ever admit her feelings for Apple Bloom? What is the deal with Baron Zeppeli, anyway? Why is Luna dressed like a pirate? How many licks does it take to get to the center of an entire planet made of candy? Is Zebrew really the most interesting language in the world? No, seriously, what's Baron Zeppeli's deal?

Everyone knows how fairy tales go: We meet a dumb protagonist who does something foolish. Things go wrong. We learn a moral.

Clearly, fairy tale authors have never met Clyde Pie.

In this collaboration, a number of your favorite ponyfic authors take a fresh look at classic fairy tales, and what we can learn from the wisdom of an eminently sensible earth pony. (This is an open collection; submission rules can be found here.)

An unusual conversation convinces Ponyville's premier tea merchant to embark on a journey to find a tea plant with magic powers. To find ... the Scary Purple Dragon Tea! Or was it White Dragon Bush? Epic Tea Leaves? Oh brother ...

Tealove will travel from the skies above Equestria, to the caves below, to its darkest, most dangerous forests. She'll contend with monsters, trolls, mad scientists, insane cultists, and teammates who aren't what they seem. But the greatest threat Tealove will face on her quest is the complete lack of consistency. The backstories, motivations, and allegiances of everypony she meets will change at the drop of a hat. It's almost like she's being written by a team of authors who aren't communicating with each other at all. Who can Tealove trust, when she can't even keep the most basic details of her own quest straight?

Octavia was an ordinary pony. She lived in an ordinary house, walked around on ordinary grey legs, played ordinary concerts in front of prestigious audiences across Equestria, and went on ordinary bomb disposal missions with a top secret government spy. But one day, everything changed. Except the house, it’s not like it randomly blew up or anything.

This story is a sequel to Diamond and Silver's Excellent Adventure


The time has come for Cheerilee to have a series of rational, dignified, and logical discussions with parents regarding the behavior, grades, and general academic performance of their children. Surely these parent-teacher conferences will go smoothly, with nary a shenanigan or hijink in sight.

That's what Cheerilee tells herself, anyway.
