Filthy Rich is the owner of Rich's Barnyard Bargains. A leading retailer of Ponyville and the countryside beyond, how does this small town company beat it's competition and stay number one?

Not by fair play, that's for sure.

The lost of certain plant or animal species can have horrible effects on a ecosystem and the same can be said an introduction of either two.

So what happens when the flora and fauna of Earth ends up in Equestria?

The same thing that happens here on Earth, an inbalance of the ecosystem. Only difference is that Earth's ecosystem can balance itself back naturally but on Equestria, the inhabitants have to do it themselves.

Consider some of the horrifying things that Mother Nature has come up with and you can see where this is going.

Cheerilee catches a massive cold and won't be able to teach class for a while. She calls in for a substitute, but ends up getting an eccentric creature named Miss Frizzle with her even stranger contraption. She can only hope that this new "teacher" can teach without causing mayhem.

Story idea based off this comic

Silver Spoon has always been a loyal friend to Diamond Tiara. In the years since the Cutie Mark Crusaders earned their cutie marks, however, she has tried and failed to get Diamond to leave them alone. Secretly, she never bore the Crusaders ill will but she always feared incurring Diamond's wrath. When a secret Silver was keeping comes out and destroys her friendship with Diamond, Silver takes it as an opportunity to mend some fences and re-discover just what kind of pony she is.

This story follows the timeline of Raiders of the Cutie Mark from the second ending where the CMC earn their cutie marks.

It's the year 1000 CE. Everypony is in a stir over the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration. Surely, there must be something important about that number.

Professor Twilight Sparkle certainly seems to think so. Enough, in fact, to leave her tower in Canterlot, to travel to a town full of secrets and danger. Maybe, if she's lucky, she'll be able to put a stop to everything before it's too late.

Whether her boss likes it or not.

Words and actions can sometimes hurt more than we know, sowing betrayal and hatred where friendship and innocence lies. A single thoughtless action can be a tipping point, one fallen domino setting off hundreds. Look back, and answer me.

Story theme is Chronophobia

Ser Ornstein, Captain of the Four Knights, Proud Dragonslayer in the service of Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight. Or so it was, once. No more, however. Endless cycle after endless cycle of Chosen Undead have led Ornstein to death after death. Now the cycle is broken, and everything is reborn as it were, however. . . why is the cycle over? And what happens now?

Equestria, a peaceful land of harmony and coexistence, where friendship is a study endorsed by the crown and dragons are defeated with a stern talking-to. But how long can the citizens of Equestria and its governers keep the peace when the fabric of another universe starts to seep into their world?

Necromancy gets a bad rep.

Oh, sure, some ponies like the whole cliche of the evil zombie master, pulling his puppet strings to make corpses dance and kill for their amusement. And yeah, you kinda do have to work with dead bodies a lot, and most ponies find that a bit creepy. Oh, and you learn a lot of spells to kill things and gain power from it.

But, come on, that doesn't mean all necromancers are bad... right?
