Alma, born human, escaped death by having her brain uploaded to the alleged VR paradise of Talespace. She's had a few adventures while trying to adjust to this new life and use telepresence robotics to reconnect to her old teaching job in Free Texas. It's time now to find a place to live, and that means exploring some strange options.

One of them is to live in an area called the Hooflands, where newcomers become ponies. She finds it strange that people would base their digital afterlife on some old cartoon, but it's just a matter of taste, right?

This story is a sequel to The Library of Discord

As Queen of an entire universe, Galaxia’s role is to create and set in motion as many planets as possible. This leaves little time to spend on the individual souls that live on those worlds. However, when she is presented with a soul that has yet to select a world after a vast amount of lifetimes, she decides to try something different: do everything in her power to find a place that the soul will want to stay indefinitely.

The sequel to this story is also a sequel to The Library of Discord.

Ryan Szilard is depressed. His girlfriend died several years ago. He is working a relatively mindless job to make rent. There's nothing he actually enjoys doing anymore. It isn't that he wants to die; he just doesn't see any reason to keep living.

So when he sees a chance to save the world from a potentially hostile superintelligence with the help of an interesting stranger, he leaps at it; it offers a chance for his life to have some meaning. But soon he realizes that this stranger has an agenda of her own in mind for him; and when she is done with him, Ryan will know things about himself, his girlfriend, and the rest of the world that he would never otherwise have known or imagined.

Rated teen for offscreen death, considered but not attempted suicide, and mild sexual themes.

Takes place in the Friendship is Optimal AU.

Will update MWF until the story is complete; everything's already written out, save for final polishing.

Submitted for your approval, and lined up for your drinking pleasure, a series of tiny fictions, heretical vignettes, eyeball bucks, and random strangeness...

Readers of my FIM blog will have seen some of these before. I am adding new material as time goes on.

The base and the glass are no different from any other snow globe, but it holds an endless void inside it. When two young sisters jokingly request for it to show them its magic, it gives them the power to fill it as they please. Within that dimension, they might as well be goddesses--but to the world at large, they're still confused, frightened children.

The younger sister, bitter and lonely, thinks it's a chance to make a better world than our own. The elder sister just feels responsible for protecting the innocent pastel quadrupeds they've created. But can two children really be the goddesses the pony race needs? And when monsters begin to threaten the ponies, what must the sisters sacrifice to create the Equestria they dream of?

Just what became of six legendary Equestrian heroes? And where did the first Alicorns come from?

The answer is both more exalting and more disgusting than one might expect.

Rated “T” for Turbid, “IM” for immaturity, and “S” for unapologetic silliness.

Warning: Philosophically dark.

A lot has happened since Celestia and Luna disappeared nine hundred years ago. There are no wars, no diseases, no pain, no death. Princess Twilight, Discord, and Spike do everything to ensure that the utopia continues.

But even the most ideal paradises have ponies that wish it wasn't so.

Story inspired by Mister Saugrenu’s artwork 1000 Years in the Future.

They had it all wrong when it came to stars.

As far as the pony world was concerned, their sun was the only one of its kind, and the lights dotting the night were simply something else. However, when an alien pony arrives in Equestria, begging Princess Celestia to reignite the magic that powers her own star, this assumption was broken. Their sun was just one of many, the only difference being that not all stars have a Princess Celestia to power and control them, or a Princess Luna to drive away their warmth at night.

Unfortunately, Princess Celestia isn't even sure she can pull off such a feat, and to make matters worse: the alien's ship meant to take her to do the job has lost most of its crew, victims of a mysterious foe lingering in the shadows. Not to worry, though: nothing the Mane Six and a few other select ponies can't handle, right? Now if only they can figure out how to use a hyperdrive...

Inspired by the beautiful music of Hans Zimmer from the movie, well, Interstellar.

All his life, he’d had one goal. Dealing, negotiating, manipulating, while defying the advice of his family, his friends and his business partners, he built the company that built the first atomic Moon rocket, and thus began Humanity’s future in the stars. But his one great dream—to go to the Moon himself—was always denied him, right up until the very end… At which point, he found himself in a peculiar situation.

He was the Man Who Sold the Moon. What price will the Moon put on him?

Based on the short story Requiem, and also The Man Who Sold The Moon, both by Robert A. Heinlein. Reading Requiem first is recommended but not necessary. (If you have an e-reader or an e-reader program and an Amazon account, you can get a free sample which includes the short story.)

Rated “T” for a bloody lip.
