Virtually invisible to PaulAsaran
Written Script has had it up to here with ponies voting on project after project, then complaining when it comes time to pay what they owe. He's done being a nice guy. This fall, you shut up and pay what you owe, or else.
This fall, Ponyville gets a tax cut.
Rated [T] for senseless murders.

It's nice to see the Equestrian Tax Office is efficient in every respect of their jobs
Uhh.
I expected him to be running around the village with a machete to enact his tax cuts myself. This works too, I guess.
I think.
I'm not sure.
Hic.
Caramel and Blossomforth would probably go unnoticed for a few weeks, they are background ponies after all.
But the town's miller? A lack of baked goods could be worse for Ponyville than the next adventure from the CMC. Written Script is going to have to nationalise the mill. I'm pretty sure that's how Sombra got started...
On the plus side, princess Celestia could probably be bought off with a weekly cake delivery.
The miller was so unimportant, she didn't even get a name...
Oh how I wish I could solve my problems in such a way...
Tax payers are so whiney.
Don't let anyone from the IRS see this story.
Gives new meaning to the phrase: Death and Taxes.
Looks like you'll be filing your returns...in hell!
Started laughing silly when I read those two...
What a conveniently timed post, Admiral.
Considering.

It wasn't an accident.
Discord beamed, his smile as bright as the stars of the dreamscape behind him. "So? What did you think?"
Luna considered what she'd just witnessed for a time before she said anything. "It was rather more violent than ponies seem to care for in this day and age."
"Oh, please. You saw how happy he was! He finally got a chance to work out all of that pent-up aggression and resentment." Discord produced a Celestia-shaped squeeze toy and started putting it to use. "Believe me, the importance of regular catharsis cannot be overstated."
Luna shrugged her wings. "I am not complaining, merely observing. I suppose the drinking on duty was also one his latent desires?"
Discord snorted. "Hardly latent, that one."
After a bit more consideration, Luna said, "I will admit, it is admirable of you to provide your... unique services to those civil servants who perform such thankless but essential tasks."
"I think we both know a thing or two about that sort of thing. Darkness, change, taxes," said Discord, counting them out on his lion paw. "Nopony likes them, but they're going to happen anyway."
Luna raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying taxation would have persisted under your rule?"
"Of course! I'd have taxed my subjects' patience."
This got Luna's eyes rolling. "As you do mine far more often than twice a year."
Discord grinned. "Flatterer."
"I will say that it was a good dream, if an unconventional one."
"Did you expect anything less?" Discord spread his arms wide, standing under a flashing neon sign that read "Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony®"
"I suppose I shouldn't have." Luna's expression turned puzzled. "Still, what of the mailmare? How did she enter into this?"
Discord opened his mouth to answer, but said nothing. After a moment, he closed it and stroked his beard with his eagle talon. "You know, I'm not sure. I don't recall ever putting her in the dream."
There was a gasp from behind them. "That was a dream?" cried Derpy.
How has the crown not gone bankrupt yet!
the interobangs made me squee
6392833
¡The Interrobang is great! I started off with Interrobangs, then inverted interrobangs and now I use inverted punctuation.
6392335
I figured as much.
6392888
How did you get that period uʍop əp!sdn like that?
. . . 
I attacked someone with a stapler once. He never so much as looked at me funny ever again.
Also, the story description totally needs a dramatic movie announcer guy to read it.
6393345
This is how to do inverted punctuation on a MacIntosh. It may not work for other kinds of computers:
¡For the inverted exclamation-point, type alt, option, 1!
¿For the inverted question-mark, type alt, option, shift, /?
⸘For the inverted interrobang and the regular interrobang too, go to the Keyboard/Character-Menu and choose "Show Character-Viewer" and select Punctuation‽
The interrobang is the GateWay-Punctuation-Mark to inverted punctuation.
6394359
I already know how to find any Unicode character I want under my OS of choice, but I certainly appreciate the friendly and helpful intentions behind your response.
My comment, however, was intended as a joke: a period is just a dot and looks exactly the same whether it's right side up or upside down. Like many of my jokes, though, it didn't come off as well as I had hoped.
6391944
But of course! To be inefficient would be a waste of tax bits.
6391949
He does that after regular office hours.
6391997
It probably is exactly how Sombra got his start. When Written sobers up, he's going to see the advantage of forcing debtors to work in the
crystal minesmill, and . . . well, eventually he'll wind up having an alicorn princess tossed in his direction.derpicdn.net/img/view/2015/5/1/886291__safe_queen+chrysalis_princess+cadance_shining+armor_armpits_idw_spoiler-colon-comic_the+crystal+empire_epic+wife+tossing_fastball+special.png

I'm embarrassed to admit this is the third story she's been in, too.
6392052
I know. I just keep my mouth shut and pay what I owe, because I don't want to be the one to push the township treasurer over the edge.
6392101
It's probably too late.
6392152
lol
6392257
Damn, I could have used that as a tagline.
6392279
Can you imagine how many commercials had to go in the trash because some monster showed up while they were filming it? If you want to put a dark spin on it, in a way, Ponyville is very much the setup for every horror film ever.

Derpy can travel at will throughout the dreamscape.
New headcanon accepted.
6392775
Bribes to neighboring countries to keep the CMC inside Equestria.
6392833
Thanks!

I've never gone after anybody with a stapler. Hardcover books, a backpack, steel-toed boots, and any number of shop tools, yes, but never a stapler.
It does. That's what I was channeling in my head. Maybe when Cygnus gets caught up with all his other readings. . . .
This was a nice little extra. Although the first death was the funniest. I think CK would like to see a Blossomforth Pancake, it's probably the only position she's never seen before XD.
6395210
Blossomforth is very flexible, so maybe she has.

I figured that you meant "¡inverted exclamation-point!".
6392759
Too awesome for words!
Ahh, sweet vengeance.
6395729
Despair squid ink.
6396284
It's the best kind for the bureaucracy.
Sometimes you just need to cut loose. Safety first, though! I'm sure that stapler was a safety stapler, and I was glad to see proper protocol was followed when handling biohazardous material.
This really sounds like an Optimalverse story. But brilliant, in any event!
6392759
Gotta admit, I love this little coda.
Consider it queued.
I may not always lurk in a timely manner, but I do still lurk.
6527587
Heh, that's okay. I've kinda fell off the face of the earth myself. Gonna blog about some of it here soon . . . maybe tomorrow if I've got time.
6528924 Feel ya there. There's reasons I've not posted in two weeks.
And no, actually, I shouldn't be awake. But I'm PMing you a thing as we speak.
You magnificent mother bucker! You actually did it! It's a special joy to return from a protracted medical stay and see things worth reading again. I'ld hear a number of terrible rumors that the fandom was dead. I'm glad that there are still creators like you here friend.
6637505
I actually did it. Kind of had to, what with the RCL feature, any it being property tax time again.
There's still stuff worth reading--the fandom isn't dead yet.
If nothing else, I aims to do my part and keep the stories coming.
I've never wanted to write a fixfic more in my life. c.c
I don't get it. I thought it was about a Tax Pony collecting bits from Ponyville. Probably with shots of the Mane 6 and discount Sunset Shimmer (Starlight I-don't-give-a-shit)
Instead its about a serial killer.

The original--A Taxing Evening--is about a tax pony collecting taxes from Ponyville. This was the followup some people wanted, because none of the mean ponies in the first story every got their comeuppance.
7092365
I see. Thanks for clearing that up. 
With a flash, much like one of Twilight's teleportation spells, the miller was gone. Unlike Twilight's teleportation spell, she left a charred spot on the floor.
...And returned as an alicorn!
This was hilarious.
