This group is about how certain ponies got their Cutie Marks.

Now, this won't be restrcted to the CMC. While they'll get a folder of their own, there will also be folders for how Background Ponies got their Cutie Marks (if they have them), how any AU Mane 6 character earned her Cutie Mark, how O.C.s earned their Cutie Marks, and how others earned their Cutie Marks (I'm open to suggestions).

Here's the criteria for stories that belong here.
1. MUST, at some point, have a character getting their Cutie Mark, or explaining how they got it.
2. NO CLOP STORIES, PERIOD. I don't want to know how you got a CM shaped like *Buy some apples*.
3. Stories that include a former "Blank Flank", such as Apple Bloom, having their Cutie Mark will not be accepted unless the story actually says at some point how they got it or why they have it.
