(This iteration of the story has been cancelled. Detailed explanation + silver lining/glimmer of hope here)

Rainbow Dash always had a thing for First Officer Soarin of the Wonderbolts, even without realizing he could be such a sweet pony once she got to know him a little better. However, her affections are already tied up with the newly adopted Scootaloo, who needs guidance and care when a new disorder rears its ugly head. There's not much room in her heart for a stallion, is there?

Unfortunately, her life will get even more complicated as the Mane Six join the Wonderbolts to face a mysterious darkness in the distant land of Saddle Arabia. She must remain strong, because her entire world is about to come crashing around her ears. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel, or will everything she endured simply bring more pain down the road?

(Rated teen for the occasional instances of strong language, suggestive scenes, and scattered ponies drinkin' themselves stupid!

What if your OC could live in Equestria? Perhaps a background pony who befriends Derpy? Maybe a philanthropist who wants to lend a helping hoof? Or could you be a blank flank simply trying to find your place? Apply to the O.C.I.O and you might be lucky enough to become a citizen of Equestria!

These are the ponies who... didn't make it through the screening.

(An ongoing collaborative effort. You present a purposely bad OC to me and I'll give you the go to write a chapter. If it meets criteria, I'll edit and post here. Be warned posting will be slow.)

(Originally conceived as a oneshot, this story has become a series of them because of the massive popularity of the first installment and how it was featured on the front page.)

Pairing: Soarin/Rainbow Dash

Chapter 1: Meet the Parents Rainbow Dash has a brilliant idea: since she hasn't seen her parents in awhile, why not bring her new boyfriend with her to visit them? Unfortunately for Soarin, this means meeting her father and mother (Firefly). Will the Wonderbolt survive the visit? Will I ever learn how to do comedy? There is a single yes and a no between these two important questions.

Chapter 2: Meet the Scootaloo Soarin unexpectedly finds himself introduced to Rainbow Dash's number one fan, Scootaloo, and once again finds himself learning a bit about Dash's world. Warning: Might make you squee.

They can stare for… a really long time.

The world of Equestria has been the sight of many wars over the last twenty years. Each of these wars have given birth to heroes. Heroes who, through insurmountable odds, brought about victory for their allies and defeat to those who dared oppose their skill. They fought some of the most dangerous weapons ever to be constructed by pony kind to ensure the safety of their brothers in arms and future peace for the world. Revered as legends among their companions and demons among their enemies, they took to the skies of distant battlefields to fight impossible battles that will forever secure their place in the tomes of aerial warfare.

I have scoured the world in search of the truth behind these legendary pilots. I have spoken to their friends, and their rivals, and those who were inspired by them, in attempt to learn all I can about them. I have gone to their home nations and interviewed those who commanded them, to learn about the impossible feats they accomplished in the name of victory. Through my efforts, I feel that I have gotten to the heart of the three aces that I have researched. In my collections I will tell the tale of tragedy that is the Demon Lord and his unheard of feats. I will uncover the ponies behind the plane known as the Grim Reaper by its enemies and the Ribbon Fighter by all. I will let everyone know the truth behind the unsung war and its unsung heroes.

The first story that will be told is that of the Ribbon, and its roll in single hoofingly turning the tide of a war, and preventing the flames of hatred from scorching the skies. The plane and its pilot who flew through those shattered skies, leaving an echo like distant thunder.

Curious about Five Score? Come check out the story that inspired dozens of side fics and been enjoyed by bronies for years!

Original Synopsis Even though MLP:FiM ended a few years ago, my friends and I still loved the show. Stories, merch, fan art, I loved it all. Things started to get a weird though when I found myself with a cutie mark appearing on my leg. Humans aren't supposed to get cutie marks, so where the heck did this come from? And what's going on with my hair?

More Detailed Synopsis: Five Score is an action/adventure story of the human-to-pony transformation genre. It’s unique from most transformation stories because the transformation itself is not really the point of the story. It’s the inciting incident that raises countless challenges that must be resolved. They are on earth, as a pony, and need to fix this before things get worse. Think about yourself in their hooves for a moment. How are you supposed to change back or even figure out what caused it in the first place? How are you supposed to get food or do anything on Earth without being spotted by humans? If you are spotted or captured, how would you escape? How does one even open a door with hooves!? Did anyone else on Earth get changed as well? How could you get the word out to the other ponies who are themselves hiding? Is it worth risking travel across the country to reach the others? Which of your friends would you trust to help you deal with this? And why did you turn into this particular pony? Surely it wasn’t random chance, right?

These challenges are the tip of the iceberg in this full length adventure novel There’s a lot of humor, many tense scenes, and hell maybe even a war.

But don’t just take it from me, Look what random people on the internet are saying about Five Score, Divided by Four
