I've been writing and selling stories for longer than a lot of folks reading this have been alive. Check Baal Bunny for more!
Near the end of March 2011, Equestria Daily announced an April Fools' Day short story contest. I was well into Half the Day is Night by then, but I thought I'd put together a little something about Fluttershy's first attempt at an April Fools' Day joke.
The story didn't advance past the first round in the contest--it was in the same bracket as the eventual winner, actually--but I still enjoy it.

I... I'm not sure about this one. Fluttershy pranking Rarity? And in the way most likely to end disastrously?
Fluttershy pranking is like blowing raspberries onto a bear cub's stomach in front of its mother. So unexpected that noons can properly react to it.
It was good. Short, tomthe point, and funny. Mmmmm though the ending seems.... Off
I really enjoyed this. Well done.
Thanks, folks!
Mike
I agree with others: short, to the point, and fun. Yay!
Dat ending.
This is just crazy enough to get away with it. Nice one.
And Pinkie Pie will be immeasurably proud of Fluttershy!
Doh! I somehow just now find his story, after repeatedly looking up my own (to see if there were any other stories with a similar name).

Well:
Mine's a light-hearted April Fools' Day romp while yours has "Fallout: Equestria" in the title and "gore" in the rating. I think they're likely to be distinct enough that no one'll confuse the one of the other.
I'm a little surprised there aren't more stories with this title, actually!
Mike
1979201 Honestly, I completely agree with you.
This was cute. Can't argue that. Greenthumbed!

Thanks!
This story has quietly become the best-rated item I've posted to FiMFiction, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Mike
I love how Fluttershy makes a point of stopping to prank Pinkie first, just because she knows Pinkie would prefer that...

Go right ahead:
And thanks! I'm all about the grinning, myself.
Mike
Why are the ants stealing the motor in the first place?

My guess:
And it's only a guess, mind you--is that they're building teeny, tiny motor cars so they don't have to wear out their little ant shoes with all the walking they do.

Sure, that makes sense...
This is silly and I like it.
This was an interesting fic. I liked it.
Aww, that's so sweet and just a little silly.

Thanks!
It's the frosting-filled backpack, isn't it? I suspected that might be silly when I wrote it...
I'm also slightly enamored of Rarity's "I shall be avenged" line.
Mike
Cute haha
