Inspired by the Sweetie Bot Project, a team of alleged scientists build a robot modeled off of a character from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. They also programmed an AI network, which is multiple AI's working together as if individual parts of a whole. The Core AI is modeled after the same pony that the robot was, and for good reason.

After finalizing the AI network, the team begin to realize just how advanced this AI program would be. Did this team develop a simulation of life so advanced that it's a perfect replication, or did they actually create new life through purely synthetic means? What even is life? And whether it's new life or just a simulation, should it actually matter? After all, what is the brain other than an organic supercomputer, and the body and organic machine?

How many people will be accepting of Sweetie Bot? How many will just disregard her as a walking talking computer? And how many people will be... more malicious?

This is a story of a fictional character made real. This is the story of a Sweetie Belle AI doing her best to find her place in a world that is not her own. This is the story of the Sweetie Bot Project.

I've never seen a Sweetie Bot story that doesn't take place in-universe. So I when a different route. I chose to make MLP a fictional Universe, and Sweetie Bot simply being based on a fictional character. This is intended to exist in the real world and as removed from fiction as possible.

This story is more or less My Little Dashie meets Sweetie-Bot Says... meets the real-world Sweetie Bot Project.

This is actually the 2nd Sweetie Bot Project I've worked on. I just forgot that I had a first one until now. Special thanks to Matthais Unidostres and their story, Low Battery for giving me the proper kick in the butt to encourage me to make this.

I am dubbing this story with the added sub-genre "Meta-Fiction". Yes, it's not an official genre, but I think it should be since other forms of official media have used a similar format. What I call Meta-Fiction is a sub-genre of Fiction that, is as close to reality as possible. The old Hercules show and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had episodes like this, where they had an episode that took place in the real world, and the show was just fiction. They both included the concept of actually writing the show. These episodes were themselves fictional. But they almost reflect what reality could've been.

In the case of my story, it's a full story with the genre of Meta-Fiction. Though it does have Sci-Fi elements to it, most of the concepts may actually be within the realm of possibility. This isn't like other Ponies IRL concepts where they come from another dimension, or just don't exist IRL. The fictional character in this case never actually leaves the fictional universe, and the AI is simply a recreation.

This story is a sequel to Advance Warning

Late Season 3. Twilight Sparkle is moon-gazing, when she receives an unexpected visit from Princess Luna. The dark Princess tells Twilight of the Moon, and a long-forgotten tale of the Age of Wonders ... and how the ponies of that time achieved greatness, yet ultimately failed of their true promise. Inspired by the PonyPOV fanon.

Now has a TVTropes page here.

He's lost his family, his Shadow Collective, and his rule over Mandalore. And on top of that, his former master is now the ultimate power in the universe.
But just like on Naboo, Darth Maul refuses to accept defeat. Now he finds himself far out in space, beyond what's been charted of the Outer Rim, and nearing a strange planet he's never encountered. This planet has an odd connection to the Force, and once he arrives, he will be drawn to a young reptilian who has not explored his own potential.

An MLPxStar Wars crossover. If you haven't seen Clone Wars (and maybe Rebels), you're gonna be missing some context.

I like comments. Preferably positive.

A Gellar Field malfunction casts 800 Pre-Heresy Word Bearers into the immaterium just after the Fall of Monarchia.
When they return 10,000 years later, they are forever changed.
Gone are the fanatical worshipers of the Emperor, for in their place stand not the heralds of Chaos, but the Heretics of Harmony.

This story is a sequel to Astral Aegis

We had almost fifteen years to prepare. We have a world that would be a shield for Equus when war finally comes to us. We have new weapons, armor, and vehicles for this war. We have the Aegis Guard, which I trained to the best I could, a force that would serve on the front lines and more for this war. I just hope that is enough.

Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns attracts the best and the brightest students, and correspondingly only hires the best and brightest faculty. Sometimes, the faculty are a little too smart for their own good.
This is a little slice of the multiverse, as perceived by Professor Rosen Bridge. This story is probably best categorized as science fiction.

Fair warning: I realize that there are one or two subtle hints at jokes in here and humorous wording, but despite my flimsy attempts at whimsy, this story deserves its dark tag, especially if you’re vulnerable to existential horror (is that a real thing?).
The T rating is mostly for the existential implications, which are related to suicide. There is no explicit gore except in the metalogue.
I’m serious I went for maximum edge it just doesn’t hit hard until the end m’kay?

Cover art credit is by this loser. They kind of suck so leave them some hatemail.

All chapters are mostly written aside from minor things that will be filled in by readers who enjoy getting homework from their fanfiction, and will be published every 3 days for 4 chapters.

It had been one year since Twilight Sparkle vanished in the battle against the evil unicorn Xander, and her friends were still trying to overcome the grief of losing her. On the anniversary of her presumed death, her friends gather at her memorial. What was suppose to be a day of remembrance was shattered by a strange metal object that landed right beside them. Their anger quickly turns to shock as a familiar unicorn emerges... and boy does she have a story to tell.

Rated Teen for violence, language, and sexual content. Rating and tags may change in future chapters.

This is not a Halo fic. It IS however loosely inspired by Halo as well as Star Wars, Mass Effect and several other sci-fi movies, books, and games.

It seems like a normal night in Ponyville, when Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense suddenly directs her out to Everfree Forest, where she sees a strange craft in the sky, terrifying her. Her friends try to comfort her and assure her she has nothing to fear, but soon the situation snowballs as reports keep coming in of strange sights, leading them into the forest to discover the truth... and something that will change all of their lives forever.

Ah, you have probably heard of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic, well, I have, anyway. And if you've heard about it and have a firm grasp of knowledge on it, you've probably known of Twilight Sparkle, born a unicorn and discovered the magic of friendship and eventually became an alicorn.

But what if she was already born an alicorn, and to shake things up further, she's born as an anthropomorphic version of herself. Now, come on with us as we go onto this wild heck of ride of a story.

Hey, author's notes here. Twilight is the only pony changed into an anthropomorphic version of herself, the rest are just in their default selves. And yes, she's born an alicorn in this story, and no, Equestria Girls will never happen.

Anyways, enjoy the show, err, I mean story.

When a group of people unearth an ancient facility, they discover a shocking secret that will forever alter their view of the universe.

This story is a submission for the 2023 Science Fiction Contest II
