For starters my version of things, at its barest bones, would be very similar to the show. Discord breaks out, causes havoc, stymies the heroes, then gets beat by them.

The actual execution on the other hand...

Ah, feels good to complete a story so quickly once again.

Proud to announce that, even if I did go a bit beyond my original target deadline, the online writing plan I found certainly seems to have helped a great deal! Using this thing really helped me get my writing rhythm back.

That being said, Ticket's Taken is now complete, and it also feels great to have written a lighter, fluffier little piece than my previous stories.

So, what's next?

...

Well...

So continuing from where we left off...

Read More

Welcome one and all back to the Flipverse and to my first attempt at writing a horror(esque) story!

Read More

Yeah, sorry it took me so long to get to this one folks. In all honesty I had a lot (and I mean a lot) of ideas regarding this one that I've been trying to work out the best way to organize them into something coherent. This is probably due to two factors:

Read More

Well well, another new season on the horizon. So this seems like a good time to look towards my own writing projects! I know at least a few folks out there are waiting to see what I put out next, so this one is going out to you!

Read More

So yeah, in this altered history it seems Spike joined the Royal Guard. And he's the one that's been assigned to be Trixie's bodyguard for the day.

Needless to say, neither Trixie nor Spike is happy about this.

Read More

Alright, let's try and finish this up shall we?

In Equestria, Twilight is rallying the rest of the Flipped Six. After overhearing CH!Spike's talk with Sunset and seeing him break the mirror she's determined not let a situation like the changeling invasion play out again. Naturally the others are a bit confused over what's going on, Thunderlane asking why she's waking them up before sunrise and Ditzy wondering why they're having breakfast so late.

Read More

So first off, the most major change is that this story would not have been introducing Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. My plan had always been to handle them somewhat more... elegantly than the show did. Hence several stories before this one would have brought up them and their relationship not only to the readers but to Spike and his friends.

Read More

So yeah, corrupted Luna is on the loose. Shining starts fighting her and tells Spike to find the Crystal Heart while Thunderlane gets the kids somewhere safe. Turns out Luna's real target is Cadence though, but by the time she gets upstairs Cheerilee has already taken her outside and Shining seals himself and Luna in the throne room to keep her contained.

Gary Who? Inspired heavily by the story Not the Hero, this would be my own take on a Gary Stu deconstruction.

Gary Stu, Element of Wisdom, First Alicorn Prince of Equestria, and fiance to Princess Twilight Sparkle, is having a strange day. One minute he and Twilight were fighting against Starlight Glimmer, trying to keep her from altering the past and preventing the Sonic Rainboom. The next, he's fallen through a strange portal and landed in Ponyville.

Read More

Though I'd wager it won't be a surprise to many of you.

I do like the Flipverse and I'm proud of the stories I've written for it, but unfortunately it also feels kind of distant. When I started it I wasn't too far behind and I finished the first story so fast I thought I'd catch up in no time.

Read More

After my first story involving her I'd had a redemption arc in mind for Trixie. Of course, in order to be redeemed I needed a story where Trixie could realize and start to overcome her biggest flaw: That massive ego of hers (I ask everyone to keep in mind that I came up with a lot of this prior to Trixie becoming such a prominent character in later seasons.).

Read More

So after the gripping conclusion to the previous part we rejoin Mac and Time Turner in their hotel room the next morning, Time Turner nursing a monstrous hang-over from the sparkling cider served at the bachelor party and doing his best to politely refuse Big Mac's old-fashioned home remedies (look up a Prairie Oyster and you'll get an idea).

Read More

So, very little reason to beat around the bush on this one: The Crystal Empire has returned and Celestia knows well what that means.

Read More

So you're all probably wondering what E!Spike is up to while CH!Spike is having fun in Equestria.

Well it starts with him getting to know the local police and their station pretty well.

Read More

Part of my weakness as a writer is I love coming up with ideas for stories, then have a hard time actually writing them when I get the chance to.

Read More

So, Spike decides things can't get any worse unless Trixie starts ragging on him for not following a direct order and gathers up Thunderlane, Time Turner, Cheerilee, Ditzy Doo, and Big Macintosh as requested. At the library everypony is confused over what they're doing there and why they were pulled away from helping the town during all this when Trixie jumps out and starts up a little performance piece.

Read More

As a little break between the big events, I'm just gonna start tossing up some little posts for notes about certain characters or minor events from canon (both backstory details and ideas for future stories or character arcs). Mostly because I'm not sure covering any of these alone would be enough to justify being a post of their own, but also for more fun! If there's any details you feel I left out and are curious about, feel free to ask in the comments.

So then:

Just for fun I decided to run the Flipped Six plus Twilight through it. Might have skewed the results slightly based off how I feel the characters actually portrayed themselves (or how I want to eventually portray them) but I thought it might be fun to share and see what others out there think about it.

Here's the breakdown of the personality types for those that are interested.
