Four short, mostly disjointed stories revolving around Hoofington locksmith Luster Lock and one pony with whom she becomes acquainted.
Untitled (Luster Lock vs. Bristle)
Working after hours at Lock's Locks, Luster has a pleasant run-in with a stallion and his young son.
"The Facts of Ponyville" (Luster Lock vs. Heather Rose)
Apart from her Germane heritage, Heather Rose isn't far off from your average Ponyville flower farmer. And like any good Ponyville flower farmer, she doesn't do so well with danger or the bombastic idiots who go seeking it out.
"Supercell" (Luster Lock vs. Vanilla Skies)
Manehattan Weather Cooperative Overseer Vanilla Skies is authorized to hire any able-bodied pegasi on one-time commissions in periods of dire need. The freak storm heading into the city tonight more than qualifies.
"What You Love" (Luster Lock vs. Lilligold)
A respected breeder of magical plants, Elmshire's Lilligold, finds herself in the throes of a particularly troublesome bout of gardener's block.
My collected submissions to Obselesence's OC Slamjam competition, wherein anonymous authors each created an OC to write against the other authors' OCs. The character descriptions that the stories were based upon can be found here. A deeper explanation of and my retrospective on the competition can be found in this blog post.
