Itty-Bitty Bite Size Stories

Announcement

Construction workers finished connecting the long wires to the last wooden post in town. At the top of the post were four metal cones, painted white, each blazoned with the golden oak leaf emblem of Ponyville's seal. Following the wires led back to town hall, where they then went into the wall and straight to the mayor's office. The wires connected to a transmitter and microphone on her desk.

"Thank you for helping set this up, Princess." Ivory Scrolls, the mayor, said.

"It was my pleasure. I think its a good idea to set up a system like this to help keep the citizens of ponyville informed, especially since so much seems to happen to this town."

"I know. There's a reason they say this town is cursed." The mayor said. "Alright, I think the workers are done, shall we test it out?" The mayor pushed the button on the microphone, a loud crackling could be heard outside as the dozen or so radio towers came to life.

"Attention citizens of Ponyville!" The mayor said. "This is your mayor speaking, testing out the new town-wide alert system. Thank you, and have a nice day!"

"Well, that worked great. Glad to see you really do care about the citizens." Twilight said.

"Oh, I don't." the mayor said, taking Twilight by surprise.

"What?"

"I couldn't give a rat's rear end about this town. As far as I'm concerned everypony in this town is a low-brow dirty hick. I'm kind of glad when all these disasters destroy everything because it means everything gets rebuilt, adding a little bit more modernization each time. These ponies are stupid as well, they'll listen to anything I say without question, its actually-"

Suddenly the door burst open, the mayor's secretary ran through the door. "MAYOR! THE MICROPHONE IS STILL ON!"

The mayor stopped and looked at the microphone, the little green light was still on. The looked at Twilight with a look of worried shock on her face.

"Yeah, I can't help you with that." Twilight said, walking out of the room. The mayor cowered under her desk as she heard an angry mob forming outside. "Good luck, mayor."

Author's Note:

And now for an announcement of my own:

I AM ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS SERIES!

That's right. You can now send me any ideas for this story that you want, as well as for the sequel that will become a reality once this story reaches 100 chapters (Which is actually going to be fairly soon!) Again, I want to thank everyone for supporting me and my writing, and this is my way of saying thanks, by letting you tell me what to write.

Alright then, some quick rules:
-Story must be able to be told in 500 words, or must be a blatant cliffhanger (see some of the other chapters for examples)
-No gore or explicitly sexual content. (I'd like to keep this story rated "teen", thank you.)
-Story must be of good taste and at least a tiny bit thought out, nothing obviously dumb or trolling
-I have the right to approve/disapprove of anything you suggest, and i'll try to get any suggestions out within a week of them being suggested.
-Collaboration between readers is allowed and encouraged! The more, the merrier!
-I will put the names of the suggestors in author's notes at the end of each chapter suggested. If you do not wish to make your name known, send me a pm instead of a comment on this story and tell me you don't want your name on it.

Ooh! I wish I could write short stories well.

4313601 who says you can't? I write these ones better than long stories, and it took me forever to figure that out.

[QPaysTaxes]

4313604 I've tried, and I can't. I'm absolutely terrible at writing short stories.

Though I just thought of an idea -- for me, the biggest problem other than fitting it into a small amount of words is coming up with ideas. Maybe you could also accept prompt submissions, then take one from each prompt?

[gallagsp the corgi]

4313619 Send me whatever you want, If I think I can write it and have the time, then I'll do it.

4313689 OK!
