Those of us among the RCL curators who are attending Bronycon have a panel in the works, "Ponyfic: There Can Be Only One." We're going to determine the greatest MLP fanfic ever written through what I'm sure will be highly scientific and objective processes, for a very serious and legally binding prize.
(It's all in good fun, guys. Be nice.
)
Of course, in order to do that, we're going to need some nominees for the sixteen entrants. Each of us will be making our own nominations, but we're also opening it up to all of you.
Quick rundown:
• You are not limited to RCL features. Between Equestria Daily six-starred stories, the contents of the Pony Fiction Vault, later and greater works by featured authors, and stuff we simply haven't gotten to yet, it would be silly to limit the field to those who've gotten a Friday feature. Pick whatever you want!
• Completed stories only. Self-explanatory, really. The greatest story never told still never got told.
• Limit one story per post. You can post multiple times, but not to the point of spam. Be reasonable, folks. The reason for the limitation is the next point:
• Vote with your thumbs. As with the "Correct the Record" contest, the story-posts with the most upvotes will make it in. (Downvotes will not factor into the decision.)
• Ballots close on July 13th. You've got a month. Feel free to signal boost like you're a broadcast tower.
Have at it!

Twilight gives her life to stop a changeling invasion. Repeatedly.Not even a contest. This is a classic that perfectly balances personal stakes, blockbuster action, comedy, and physiological torture as well as being one of the first hits FIMfiction had. Of all the classic stories, like My Little Dashie and Past Sins, this is the only one that truly holds up as something special.

When you have so little, and another has so much, it’s easy to justify theft. The more precious the commodity, the easier it is to tell yourself you need it more than they do. And what is more precious than time?A few GAPJaxie stories have been nominated, but I think this is one of his best. Despite the dark mood and subject matter that the story deals with, the story and its conclusion ultimately come back to the core themes of MLP around friendship and compassion.

I second this nomination. Biblical Monsters has such vivid imagery and great writing throughout. I love that the story emphasizes the fundamental differences between humans and ponies and turns on the fact that the humans assume the ponies would act like humans while Twilight assumes the humans would act like ponies.
