I am convinced this entire website is the conglomerate of every known tumor in medical history.

After stumbling upon an ancient relic despised by the princesses themselves, Clean Sweep goes from a run-of-the-mill street cleaner to a new lifestyle entirely.

Whether this is for better or for worse, he has yet to determine.

3610709 Oh, you. (You haven't even read it. Bravo.)

I don't he is alone in his head anymore. May want to get that checked out, buddy.

AwkwardTaco, major moderator-san wrote a new story! Anyways, don't mind me; I'm just doing my business...

Ali-Corn Flakes

Well... the title feels like it's lacking something.... something street cleaning, Alicorn-related puns... you should try fixing that, heichou.

A street cleaner inadvertently becomes an Alicorn.

Well if a shoe cleaner managed to become a successful world-chain mall owner, wouldn't that be expected?

After stumbling upon an ancient relic despised by the ]princesses themselves, Clean Sweep goes from a run-of-the-mill street cleaner to a new lifestyle entirely.

So it's like that one story, where, a guy found a lottery ticket down the street, which made him an instant billionaire so he decided to leave his mother's basement, and live out on his own... but his money quickly disappeared after buying tons of coccaine, and hookers.

I know; it escalated too quickly.

This sign is tempting me to un-fav the story, and leave a downvote... yeah, like I could do that to muh master.

Chapter 1:

As he finished sweeping up the last of the confetti from the huge parade earlier, he pondered what the parade had been like.

Lots of mares wearing skimpy outfits on floats! Woo! Best. Parade. EVER!

Not like anypony really expected him to.

You should put a sad tag on this baby; the sentence above made me feel.

He had realized some time ago that if he didn’t take care of the everyday litter and such, nopony would voluntarily take up the job.

We should really make a holiday that celebrates the existence of street cleaners.

He did not however, appreciate the pay. Not one bit.

Was I missing a pun here?

While he didn’t find it an amazing life, he figured it 'was' better than complete poverty.

You were missing a 'was' up there.

He stopped and shut the lid as he tried to imagine what the contents might be worth. It could be some sort of jewelry box, in which case his gambling would be well sustained.

Well, I guess old habits never die.
–Pinkamena Diane Pie, Forever Banned from Equestria.

Who wouldn’t pay top bit for a piece of jewelry like this?

Uh... I would rather spend bits on an escort... is there something wrong with me?

Despite having no education in dancing whatsoever, he began to do a victory shimmie next to his kitchen table.

Just like what I do, whenever I outsmart my friend, only, I do it beside him.

“Muscles, why do you betray me? Is it because I don’t work out? I thought you’d be happy with that arrangement?

I know, right? Muscles are stubborn sons of bitches.

the Alicorn Amulet grants the wearer the power equal to or less than any alicorn in existence. Use of the amulet has been strictly forbidden due to an incident in Ponyville that took place several months ago.

So how'd the wings and horn again?

“Thanks for the clarification,” he said. “Now that I know I’m going crazy, I’m going to try and get some beauty sleep in.”

“You don’t need it with that complexion.”

"Oh stop it, you.”

Hue...

Hmmm..... I suppose this story is okay... :eeyup: I'm not sure, but I think I'll see where it goes. :moustache:

DAT TITLE GRAB.
Well played, sir.
Now please allow me to feature this story on my weekly blog for the Las Pegasus Tribune, Fiction Illumination. It is my mission to give exposure to stories I feel are either underrated, or written by an author who clearly deserves more follows.
PM me if you're interested :scootangel:

Intriguing start, liked & faved.

There is one thing I would like to clear up though. Most stories have played with the idea that Alicorn = Princess is somehow ingrained into either Equestria itself or the mindset of its inhabitants, to the point that such a thing as a non-royal or male Alicorn is unthinkable or perhaps even impossible. Clean Sweep appears to want to take advantage of the first assumption of Royalty, but surely the fact that he's still Male (I assume he'd have noticed in the mirror if he wasn't) would be the biggest eyebrow raiser when he reveals himself to everypony?

I don't know if it was just me, but it felt kind of awkward that pretty much all of the paragraphs in the first half started with 'he' or 'his'. :applejackunsure:

It's a cute story. I don't know where it's going, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. :derpytongue2:

A street cleaner inadvertently becomes an Alicorn.

Well if a shoe cleaner managed to become a successful world-chain mall owner, wouldn't that be expected?

"Inadvertently" does not mean "unexpectedly", it means "unintentionally" or "carelessly." So "inadvertently becoming an Alicorn" means the protagonist became one by accident, or somehow did it without intending to.

So this is a thing. I'm looking forward to where this'll lead.

This story is awesome. Please continue! :pinkiehappy:

I question how healthy these Alicorn-Brand Alicorn Flakes are.

Wow .... this story is very original ... I like it :twilightsmile:

Ali‐Corn Flakes and yet not a breakfast cereal in sight. :trixieshiftright:

There had better be cornflakes in this sometime within the next 2–3 chapters or I may just have to ask for my money back.

I am ashamed at all of you for not making a Street Fighter reference.

3611690 The first reason I came here wa sthe story premise, then I remembered you.
Both are awesome.

Most people who read this won't get the Brian Regan reference, but I commend you, good sir, on the obscure and hilarious joke.

Suddenly, everything I thought I knew about this is a lie...:rainbowderp:

So he's got a mare's voice in his voice. Talk about bad luck.

....... I thought it was obvious it was a girl voice

This is why spirit mediums are complete nonsense.
