These are the results of the Fimfiction Writes Ponies! project, in which almost a hundred users were allowed editing access to a single Google document, with the final goal of writing a coherent story about colorful ponies.
This... is their story. It is the tale of Mecha-Trixie. It is the tale of Lord Apep, who ate the sun. It is the tale of the shattered multiverse, the permeable boundaries of which may cause the end of all Equestria. Rarity may or may not be eaten by a ghost-shark at the end of things. It is enormous. It cannot be described in mere words. Read it.
Go forth, my friends, and know that this is what Fimfiction has wrought.
If you want to see the original thing in its unvarnished glory, feel free to check out the Google doc, locked for editing but now open to public viewing.
Wait, is it really incomplete? <.< Are you holding out on us here?
Get up in here, crew! You know who you are!
Praise be Apep!

The story as-written is technically complete. The remaining chapters will be posted shortly. Just trying to avoid publishing all of it at once, so as to avoid overwhelming anyone.

Bah! POST IT ALL YA NOOB
Huzzah! it's here!
Hail Apep!
This is unadulterated awesome.
GraceFu and his robot text.
Ayo,Monochromation. You know what it is.
Aha! It has been birthed upon the world of Fimfiction! PRAISE BE TO APEP!
It was a grand afternoon of fun! Hope everyone enjoys it!

yay my binary message survived
yes it was I who had to rewrite the binary message after the previous one failed
At long last, the cancerous insanity that this glorious train wreck harbors has been unleashed.
~The lizardman is excited
Do I really want to?

...Do you?
4218068 I don't know. You tell me! You're the one who was in charge of it.
Ack! You actually did this?! And I was not informed?!
This is the BEST. IDEA. EVER!
thank you
Glorious.
Not to rain on anypony's parade, but shouldn't chapter 5>?<12 should be between chapter 5 and 12?fixedthis is the best story ever! My mind now resembles the fourth wall!
Now you too can write a featured story!
For having the combined work of 100 people, this is surprisingly coherent.

Happy now? :V

Then read it. Read it and weep.
4218013 I'm the one who introduced Apep
yay my Narnia joke and my pinkie dialogue and font survived
wtf they stole my ending I suggested that then it got written of as "cheesy" and then they do it behind my back

They should be shot!
We have been featured! Take pride! Hail Apep!
This sounds incredibly meta. Mods are so evil, bending the rules for our entertainment.
Maybe I ought to read it before deciding it's really meta, though. Maybe the story is truly about ponies.
I would point out all the errors that still slipped by the editors' attention, but Apep . . .
~The lizardman has spoken enough
4218108 ~The lizardman says, "well said"
I had fun writing this with the rest of you.
I must say, this chapter boasts much useful advice.
~The lizardman is out at the moment, please leave a message after the dots . . .
What does the binary message translate to, I wonder?
~The lizardman is curious
My baby. It's so beautiful.

*Weeping and wailing.
This is where the insanity levels of this thing begin to reach so high that it becomes sane.
~The lizardman has spoken
"All your base are belong to us!"
~The lizardman has quoted
This reads exactly like your average BZPower comedy.
There is no sanity.
Surprisingly acate, this- . . .
~The lizardman has crossed the line (with no regrets )
It was fun writing this with you guys!
Praise Apep! He is a glorious snake, like a magnificent father! If only I could be so grossly serpentine!
The most coherent chapter thus far.

In short, I got your message.
Praise the Sun!
I'd make a dead horse analogy to the fourth wall, but I wish not to offend the little ponies (who definitely aren't holding me at hornpoint right now, no siree).
~ . . . help me
4218507 thank you and actually that wasn't entirely mine the origonal message was corrupted by somepony so I had to rewrite it and that is the result of my attempts at replicating the origonal message
