Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Dear Twilight,
Could you send me a copy of my birth certificate? Some of my worshipers are convinced that I have no beginning or end, and that I descended from Equestria solely to enlighten the simian masses.
Their words, not mine.
Thanks,
Sunset

Dear Twilight,
Good news and bad news. The good news is that they've accepted that I'm not some eternal concept. The bad news is that they still think Equestria is some impossibly perfect land of nothing but smiles and cupcakes. I'm going to need the trashiest tabloid you can find. Make sure it has obituaries; some of them are convinced that all ponies are immortal.
Thanks again,
Sunset

Dear Twilight,
It's not that I want to scare humans away from Equestria. I want a healthy relationship between the two worlds as much as you do. The problem is that the only information most people have about Equestria comes from my videos, and I've been presenting the best of my home. That's led to... well, this. Given how long it could take to safely expand the portal, I don't want humanity to be disappointed after years if not decades of impossibly high expectations.
On a related note, that copy of the Royal Enquirer didn't quite do the job. They're calling it a "test of faith." I'm going to need something that can't just be discounted. Or more accurately, somepony. Who's your pick for Ambassador of Equestrian Horribleness?
Sincerely,
Sunset

"And that's why you're here, ma'am."
The mare had a lot of questions. What was the fuzzy thing around her neck, and why did it have feet? Why had she never heard of this "Sunset Shimmer" filly if she was so important? How did meeting with Ponyville's resident princess lead to getting shoved through a mirror and coming out the other end as some kind of underfed yeti?
She betrayed none of this in her expression; it would be an unforgivable display of weakness. Thank Celestia for this body's immobile ears and lack of tail. "I don't entirely understand what it is you want me to do," said Spoiled Rich.
Sunset smiled. "To put it simply, be yourself."
Guess what the literal translation of "utopia" is.
And yeah, I figured if anypony's going to get a mink stole as part of her human world outfit, it'll be Spoiled Rich.

I'm calling... three years before Spoiled is a candidate for a state governorship.
Wow, really? There are so many better options than Spoiled to use as an example awful pony. Like Svengallop. Or Blueblood. Or King Sombra.

Presumably they want to present an example of Equestrian selfishness and general unpleasantness.
Not start a war.
Well there's a EG version of Filthy Rich, so are there now two Spoiled Riches? How different are they?
OUCH!
I can imagine the point Spoiled goes off the deep end is when she realized she uses a dead carnivore as a fashion accessory.
It will be historical.
8016223 if that's the case, then we had better not reciprocate with sending back their version of Justin Bieber
this is any post-first contact should really go, with a cultural trade of bitchiest females and neckbeardiest males so each species can decide if they really want to establish trade relations and expose themselvez to the native memetic vectors.
I have had a similar problem with writing Equestria as a slightly nicer version of something recognizable as a cross between a benevolent East Asian despotism and a modern Western liberal society c. 1920, and some fans complaining that I write it as too dark a culture. Oddly enough, this is often over sexual morals, and it cuts both ways.
Some people want Equestria to be hyper moral, and dislike that some of my characters are less than perfect in that regard, even if the imperfection is fairly slight and amounts to having, at some point in their lives, fallen in love unwisely; another camp want Equestria to be a total free love Utopia, to the point where I can't even have any serious diseases because otherwise venereal diseases might get in the way of complete sexual liberty.
I personally tend to portray the Equestrians as mostly having fairly good morals, but being fallible mortal beings. Even the technically immortal ones.
The mink stole what, exactly?

I think you mean hysterical
