Sunset Shimmer's ambition grew along with her power and knowledge, and she decided to become an alicorn princess and rule at Princess Celestia's side. When the princess didn't turn her into an alicorn, Sunset jumped through the portal in a last show of rebellion and into another world.

A world devoid of magic but much more advanced technologically. Sunset figures that if she solves the conundrum of this strange new world and manages to combine magic with technology, she'll ascend into a princess and take her rightful place.

With a familiar face assisting her and the help of an inquisitive girl, Sunset sets out on the path of research and development. The world might not be ready for what is to come, but Sunset will still spearhead a revolution bigger than any world has ever seen.

Sunburst is dead, but Starlight Glimmer has fixed it.

She isn't one to let a little death get in the way of a good time.

An entry for both the Dialogue Only Contest and A Thousand Words Contest III (Comedy category).

A Company of Astartes has touched down on Equestria, intent on wiping out its heretical xeno inhabitants. Surprisingly enough, this ends somewhat favorably for all parties involved, and thanks to the Administratum of all institutions.

WARNING: This story contains flagrant canon defilement, horrifically out-of-character Astartes, heresy on crack, and bureaucratic red tape. Take seriously at your own risk.

Elain is a peaceful peasant, she grew up in a rural world inside a little and almost isolated village from the ancient kingdom of Olenia, where the industrialization and new inventions have not yet reached. An ordinary life is carried out in the village like in those days of the colonial era.

Life was quiet, these rural environments usually remained untouched by disputes between nobles and rarely affected the peasants, but the coming storm is not like the previous ones. Rapid and exorbitant technological advancement will change the world forever and the doe's fate will soon be cut short.

"Wait wait wait! Why am I in the long description as well!? What happened!? What happened when I pressed that button!? I can't tell because the story hasn't started yet! AAAAH! JUST START IT ALREADY!
Oh hey there's Twilight in it? Cool!"

"What is that line supposed to mean?
Hold on, let me check the groups. Ooooh, I see, it's for a contest. Woaw, I like that effect on text. I wish I could do that more when I talk. You know, like, you talk and people can click your words to know more about what you mean. You could even do that in the middle of conversation. That'd be great."

When Diamond Tiara asks her dad about summer jobs, she doesn't expect him to refer her to somepony else--and she really doesn't expect that somepony else to be a mare she's never met with a personality as dull as her coloring. As it turns out, however, much like the things she studies, Maud may be far more complex than her exterior suggests.

(Set a year or two post-Ending of the End, though technically there's nothing that grounds it in any particular time frame past Diamond's reformation.)

Starlight Glimmer has succeeded. Twilight Sparkle and her friends never met. Their influence on Equestria never came to pass.

But is victory truly worth earning if the future you end up with is coming apart at the seams? Starlight isn't so sure anymore.

After all, it's hard to be sure of anything without a cutie mark to guide you.

Queen Haven and Alphabittle are officially getting married! Zipp certainly didn’t expect this announcement. She didn’t think it would happen so quickly and so soon. As she and Pipp attempt to grapple with the new father figure in their lives, Misty is petrified about becoming part of the Royal Family, fearing that she will never fit in as the only unicorn princess in a family traditionally composed of pegasi…

The ill-written letters to Star Swirl invoked little sense. But his thoughts were blinded by the stress of our work. It was up to me to see the simpler, sensible answer, and to urge us to chase.

In truth, the most we had to work with was a profound bond. But as the earth pony saying goes:

"Hope slumbers in shallow earth."
