It's Thorax's first crystal faire. It's amazing - it's absolutely spectacular, breath-taking, and the love that the crystal heart emanates on the day feels like it could keep him fed for a whole year. It should be the most fantastic thing he has seen all year! And yet...

“That’s a stupid question.” Pharynx rolled his eyes, while coming over to look at the markings Thorax had made in the dirt of their room in the hive. “I think, you dummy, that you can literally transform into any pony that you want.”

“Plus, why would you have wanted to been a pony in the first place? Being a changeling is the best.” He said, puffing up his own chest, before scowling down at the drawing of a pony that Thorax had made, before scraping his own hoof in it, swiping the dirt right back into place over the pale imitation of a pony, before roughly nudging Thorax.

“... Right.” Thorax said, smiling slightly at his brother despite the rough-housing, and the comments as he looked down at the dirt where his drawing had been. “I don’t really know why I would want to be one,” he lied, as he got up from the position he was laying down in, going to follow his brother.

Or becoming a part of something you dreamed of, but never thought you could really have.

Now a rainbow's tale isn't quite as nice as the story we knew of sugar and spice.
But a rainbow's easy once you get to know it with the help of the magic of a pegasus device.

We all know the story of the Rainbow Factory, of how Rainbow Dash had gone mad and done unspeakable horrors. But how did it all come to that? How was it that Rainbow Dash, known for her loyalty, descended into such madness? This is Rainbow Dash's story of losing herself to that dreaded factory, for as we all know, in the rainbow factory not a single soul gets through.

This is a prequel to 'Rainbow Factory' by Aurora Dawn: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1td5r9BGGA7l2-rnlFTnVrJN2NdZclcVWUMoCqaSujnM/edit?hl=en_GB

which was based on the song 'Rainbow Factory' by WoodenToaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRx_iXgLAyw

Sunset Shimmer finds herself stuck in a time loop where she's forced to live out the main six singing a song to help Twilight win the crown over, and over, and over...

And over...

Except, things start to get a little... weird, at one point in the song.

You know what's a dumb idea? Taking the crew of a stranded cruise liner and marching them through a magical horse dimension to get home.

You know what's a smart idea? Grouping everybody in pairs so that they can buddy up and look after each other during the trans-dimensional trek.

When Flash Sentry is randomly partnered with an annoying fussy magician possessing an ego the size of the magical storm that sank them, he'd almost rather stay back on the wrecked ship.

Princess Celestia is not having a good week. But is the fish in her mane merely an accident, or is something more sinister at work? What's wrong with Pinkie Pie? And... are those zombies? Only the coven of mysterious robed ponies plotting her downfall know for sure... and they're probably not going to tell her.

(AKA "a human sells out")

If there's no proof that ponies are ponies, then there's no proof changelings are changelings, right?

That totally makes sense.

Anyway, after getting blasted to the Deer Kingdom with the power of public displays of affection, some changelings talk about ethical problems and their sex lives.

This may or may not lead to mutiny.

Takes place in the Matterverse, a multiverse that encompasses every possible variation of the half-hour after the Canterlot Wedding in which all of Equestria suddenly drops everything and begins philosophizing furiously.

Stories in the Matterverse are currently Would It Matter If I Was? (the original), What Matters More? (I'll read it eventually), Do It Mattered If I Is (what), and, just to spite the admins, Yes, It Matters (the grammar is more heinous than the content).

And this thing, I guess. No, it didn't inspire me.

Not related in any way to the other story of the exact same name. (The capitalization's different, wasn't it obvious?)

Hitch has proven himself worthy of the himbo crown and one other position of power...

He's sure it will be fine.

In order to make sure her class knows a little more about the world, Cheerilee has them exchanging letters with children in other nations. This allows her students to learn about truly foreign concepts, like 'snow day'. And the mere concept of having a random storm grant an unexpected holiday has taught the Crusaders something big: that Equestria is the worst place in the whole world, because the weather schedule means that's never gonna happen.

Surely there has to be a way to get a snow day of their very own. Surely...

...so what's the fastest way to summon a windigo?

This story is a sequel to Sunset Shimmer and the Cowboy

A continuation of Sunset Shimmer and the Cowboy.

Updates will be random with no set schedual.

Sunset is still picking up the pieces of her life after Anon-a-Miss and Dusty is there to help. Sure he's not really Sunset's father, or is he? Princess Twilight is not too sure about him and the human world government knows way too much.

As for the Rainbooms, will they ever truly be friends with Sunset? Will they ever get the opportunity to make it up to Sunset? Especially now that Sunset has decided that she's had enough of Canterlot High.

I also wanted this to be a sequel for Kitzumi the fox pony. Book one. and Kitzumi's adventures through the looking glass. Continuity issues made that a little too difficult without some serious rewrites to the Adventures book or some interesting twisting of events. In the last Chapter of "Kitzumi's Adventures through the Looking Glass," we are told Sunset is Prince Platinum's eldest daughter. Which in itself isn't necessarily a continuity conflict. The conflict is that it places Sunset as Prince Blueblood's aunt by adoption in that I'd intended that Prince Platinum be Prince Blueblood's Grandfather. And it could work if Sunset is actually the same age as Twilight's parents, though I think I'll make her a cousin or I'll have continuity issues within this story. (Pulling hairs out!) Other issues include Scootaloo being Sunset's daughter but now her sister. And Dusty as a concept hadn't existed in the earlier works. One potential way around this issue is that Scootaloo being Sunset's daughter had only been in that one alternate dimension. In this version, Kitzumi Nova follows the same path as Kitsumi Nova (Kitzumi Nightfoal) did in Ponies in Hogwarts up until it was time to take that jump forward in time. She simply could not leave Maggie and in doing so profoundly impacted history. I guess we'll just have to see what I can do with it.
