Well in the future, Ponyville is still remembered. The ruins are right there for anypony who wants to see them, after all. And sure, there's a lot about Ponyville that's been forgotten. Its name, for example. But Fluttershy's transformation to batpony and back is still remembered. And so are the other consequences of Twilight's spells.
This is the story of how Ponyville ended.

This was written for the Writer's Training Grounds #001 on Equestria Daily. I suspect that's only barely good enough of a reason to overcome my aversion to sharing my writing, so please try not to be too harsh in your (hopefully constructive) criticism. I'm skittish.

The Writers' Training Grounds, a fine event hosted by Equestria Daily for beginning writers. Ever since early Season 4 of MLP:FIM, a weekly prompt has been posted that I more or less follow. That prompt has guided most of the chapters within this story. Some chapters have continuity, some don't, some have giant monsters or metaphysical travel. One thing is for sure, everything here is bonkers.

Gather around, humans and ponyfolk alike, for I am a bard, and I give you the weekly tales of the Compilation! A greater range in lack of organization than the Canterbury stories! Higher variance on continuity than the Grimm fairytales! More or less desperate than a retelling of the Arabian Nights! Contains at least one more vampire than the Twilight Saga, which brings it to a grand total of at least one! This is a Compilation of Miscellaneous Typed Scribblings of A Random Guy!

Watch in amazement as a writer races time to meet a midnight deadline on Thursday (used to be Tuesday)! Let your imagination run from its leash and ruin your neighbors’ petunias! Be thrilled, or thrillingly disappointed, as you read through semi to completely disjointed works of fanfiction! Use this as a scale of a bard’s improvement, from Chapter #1 all the way to Chapter #?

Quality is a figment of your imagination! So criticize however you want. The best criticisms of the week will receive the honor of having an OC randomly pop up in a random story of my choosing. Not kidding there. Right a good review and partake in the chaos that is technically my mind!

Scootaloo goes to foalsit the Cake twins after Pinkie Pie mysteriously disappears. There is nothing but silence in the house; the perfect scenario to get some good reading done. Except for the fact that there is a giant batpony on the loose.

Twilight and Spike return to the Castle of the Two Sisters, only to find that their previous foray into its depths may not be what they remember.

Under assault by the plunderseeds, the Tree of Harmony remembers the first morning of the world, and her delight in discovering life, laughter, love and serenity.

Hi Eveypony. I'm Scuttaloo, N-no, Skir...TA loo- Ughhh, I can't ven prounce mah own n-n-name. But I have annnnnn aweswome big sitter--I mean sister. Her name es Rainbow Crash...er, Dash. She hlps me with my seech condi...con...condition!

This is the sory of h-how whaaaa-we acciduntly ruined a berk, and inculd incurred the wrath of a alicon, I mean aricorn, I mean Twilight Sparkle.

Hiya! Rainbow Dash here, the one and only. Scootaloo's working on her speech right now. It's hard for her, so if ANY of you numskulls give her trouble for it, I'll knock your block into next week. Got it? Great, on to the story!

Alternate Universe, because Scootaloo has a speech impediment (Developmental verbal dyspraxia). I swear I'm not mining for feels--it makes her a more complex and interesting character and emphasizes the roll of Dash as her surrogate big sister.

Stuff used for the cover, which I totally did in MS Paint which I wish had layers. I mean, MS Word has more art capabilities in some ways. And it's a text editor.

Written before S4E4 as a pregaming ritual of sorts, similar to Pinkie Pie Can't Sleep!

Pinkie Pie's favorite Saturday morning radio drama is on in a few hours, and between the anticipation and the caffeine, there's no way she's gonna get anymore sleep until it airs. So she wakes up all her friends, because misery loves company!

Post-read by xjuggernaughtx, who's a pretty cool guy, writes really awesome Discord stories, and loves commas.

"They came and took their faces, and then they took their insides. And one day, when the moon itself is fuller than it's ever been before, they'll crawl into our homes... and give them all back."

The friendship between Clover the Clever, Smart Cookie, and Private Pansy led to the founding of Equestria. But what can they do in the face of a new and chaotic menace who calls himself Discord?

Two events from December 2011 led directly to this story: the revelation in "Hearth's Warming Eve" that the princesses were nowhere in sight when Equestria was founded, and the announcement of the existence of Cadance, the third Princess. Unfortunately, at the time, I was in the middle of several non-Pony related projects, but I wanted to get the idea written up before the Cadance episode aired and made canon-fodder out of the whole thing. So I carved ten days out of my schedule in the middle of January 2012 and wrote it up in two parts. It made Equestria Daily, but I've always felt it needed one more run through the word processor.

So I'm suspending my usual "write it, submit it, move on to the next" rule and giving the story another spin. I'm also, after a year and a half, giving it a sequel: "Calling You."
