Cirrus Wisp, a pegasus pony originally from Cloudsdale, runs a boiler plant in Pittsburgh known as "The Cloud Factory."

Inspired by Admiral Biscuit's writing challenge about ponies working on Earth.

This is a fictional depiction of the Bellefield Boiler Plant. Any references to a real person, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

In a world of magic, it's bound that things will happen that shouldn't, or magic gets into places it was never meant to be. this is one of those times.
Princess Celestia, ruler, mentor, mother figure, and when the need arises war leader although that last one hasn't been needed for thousands of years at least. someone as long-lived as her is about to find out that sometimes the skeletons in your closet arent as dead as we think they are as an ancient enemy comes back to haunt her and make her and her ponies pay for her crimes.

Imperial Thought of the Day: Suffer Not the Alien to Live.

Living with a Kirin is actually not that weird. There are language difficulties and cultural differences, but snuggling is universal.

Jacob Vail was never that exceptional, when others were playing in summer sports he was helping his great-aunt with her impressive relic collection, but upon her death he finds that she has left him more than just memories and a dusty bunch of weird items. He finds that not all the objects in her collection are entirely normal or from our world… the one item that stands out the most to him is a statue of a winged unicorn adorned in armor holding up the moon. What he doesn’t realize is that the stone he pulled from the statue is not just a shiny rock, but something special and that it holds a secret that many others wish to possess…

A john deere model H's nickname is a Johhny popper, this name comes from the fact that athe engine, while having 12 horsepower, only has 2 cylinders, meaning the exaust will sound like a bunch of 'popping' going on all at once. as you might imaging this scares ponies, dispite the technoligical advancement.

just some drabble, (in other words a complete and utter crackfick. No real value is here. There are a lot of errors you may comment about, just don't be rude about a story I put as much value in one would put into a turd on side of a road)
Though thanks to scarfox 9700, seemingly the only one who shares the interest in antique machinery and copius amounts of destruction

William Afton,a 15 year old teenager,moved to Canterlot City to restart a new life after his 'isolation' for a year and 9 months.

He went to Canterlot High,hoping he can finally focus on his studies without anyone knowing his dark past.

But in the end,he eventually got someone that he wasn't expected...

(Attempt at individual chapter descriptions below the break, because I still haven't figured out how to control where the break is.)

Yes, after over eight years on the site and I don't know how many words put down in comments over that time, I'm finally putting up an actual story. Well, "story". I do occasionally write, or more often imagine and not bother to write, various pieces of fiction, and this I expect to be more a collection of them than something that ever has much of a "chapter" to "chapter" cohesive narrative. The first five of the six "chapters" I'm planning to post at the start have already been blog posts (though with some reformatting and such)... but the sixth, I've not posted anywhere before. In the future I might dig through my past for more old fragments, and there's a chance that perhaps having this "story" out will encourage me to actually write more.

No idea how often this'll actually update, though. Also, not sure how much the things in here will be edited; despite how much time I've spent editing other people's stories, I have little enough successful experience writing that I'd rather focus on getting down what I can. Base level shouldn't be too bad, though, knowing me.

Also, I'm surprised to see that apparently no one else on the site has used "Ostraca" for a story title. Eh.

(Also, rating this Teen just to be safe. No idea if that is or will be needed (I am, again, very new to this story-posting thing), but it seemed prudent given my uncertainty about whether it's needed or not.)

Chapter guides(?):
-O- Actually Something Story-Ish! (Blog 2018-07-09)
Does it matter if Thorax is a changeling?
-O- Story Idea Snippet (Blog 2018-08-31)
Purple prose taken literally and run with... if not very far.
-O- Vision of a Discord and Draconequus!Fluttershy Apocalypse (Blog 2019-10-27)
...Not sure how to describe this, but I'm still kind of boggled that FanOfMostEverything called it "Magnificent stuff." back in blog form.
-O- Random Old Fallout Equestria Thing (Blog 2019-12-14)
Zebras and pegasi dogfight at the end of the world. This is probably the first chapter that "Dark" tag is needed for.
-O- Well, Cold Spike said I should write something... (Blog 2020-05-12)
The three tribes each had their own way of migrating to Equestria...
-O- Camping by Lake Mead
Robot Friendship Unicorn Twilight! Also, probably another one wanting that "Dark" tag, and the first one "Human" was added for. (Also, Fallout: New Vegas... crossover?, if that's important to you.)
-O- Third Most Powerful
Princess Luna has a private chat with a high government official, to lay out a few things.
-O- Optimalverse Pottery Shard
If I'd finished this, it'd have been a contest entry. As it is, it's an incomplete fragment with an author's note about the same length as it is sharing the chapter -- but I still think some of the ideas are interesting.
-O- An Old Alicorn Problem
Complete? Also mostly unedited, because inspiration struck while I was supposed to be doing something else and I wanted to get the inspiration down in horsewords before it went away.
-O- Wedding Remarks
Cadance, her new wife beside her, has a few things to say to some special guests on this perfect day. AU recursive fanfic of Darkstarling's Royal Peanut Butter. Complete, I think, though it could be extended and/or expanded.
-O- A Tale of the Twilight of the Twilit
Someone old explains some things to someone young.
Inspired by, at least as the trigger, a post from FoME linked in the author's note, itself about the start of the G5 comics. Complete, I think.

Charli D'Amelio's best friend Staseiy Szmmiyth bought her a pair of expensive brand headphones for her birthday. That's when her day got weird. Then, a group of strangers in black broke into her McMansion and burgled some worthless items, making weird motions all around the house. Charli and her family were so scared! After they left, the family called the police, but Charli needed an escape. She decided to start listening to some Spotify with her new headphones! She closed her eyes, and next thing you know, she was a land called... who's your mama? Equestria? Like from My Little Pony? How did she get here? Did someone curse her headphones, and if so, who?

And now she's caught up in the mystery of a lifetime. Saddle Sunshine, a new pony in town, is missing, and it's up to Charli and the Main 6 to find her! But Charli needs to get out before the episode ends, because if she doesn't, she could be erased from the planet for good.

Adapted from my first ever story, which I will not link.

Also, I haven't seen much of MLP past season 6, but I don't think too much really changed? Honestly, MLP got so weird. (I mean, so did this fanfiction, but oh well)

A lone Hunter and her companion stood in the smoldering walls of a fortress, a wasteland of death and destruction overtaking the once lush and vibrant land now bathed in crimson skies. A monster revived to revel in devoured flesh and crushed bone, to make blood run dry. For its fire to burn through metal and blacken the lands, boiling their rivers. Fate has awakened.
