This will be a series of romantic drabbles based around one concept: take a pairing, apply rule 63 to one of the ponies involved, and see what happens. Characters updated as story goes along.
By the way, Rule 63 of the internet is as follows: For every given male character, there exists a female version of that character and vice versa.

Interesting Idea, we'll have to see how it plays out. Looking forward to more!
Interesting idea. I too am drawn to the concept of opposites attract, with RariJack being my favorite ship.
You might want to add what Rule 63 means into the description so people know what you are on about.
Rule 63 - Genderswap.
interesting... im not quite sure what your aim is here though. i mean, i get that youre rule 63ing everyone, but to what end? do twilight and colt-dash have more romantic adventures together, or is this the end? idk, im just curious.
but either way, its good writing, and i'll be following for more 
Well, I came expecting something a lot less cute and wonderful than this.
Lets see a ton more! I'd like to see some male Rarity or female Big Macintosh ( I'd really like to see Trixie).
Good use of the socks - it's nice and simple but one can see how it would add some flare!
49661
I guess the point is that there really isn't one, I just needed practice writing romance and then got this idea and decided why not? Glad to know you enjoyed it.
49674
Good to know I shattered an expectation. Not sure about female Big Mac, but I can do the other two.
A good premise and a simplistic plot that dosn't drag on too long. Twilight seems a little more confident then her usual bookish self, but its nice to see someone trying to extender her depth beyond the folds of a reaserch journel.
You could do with changing the language in a fair few places, repetition and sentence flow seem to be an issue. Try reading the story out loud to yourself and you’ll probably spot what I mean. This should be quite easy to fix, sqeasing another star out of this short but sweet tail.
Getting a pre-reader to go through it with you might be useful too; that way you have a second pair of eyes and another view point rolled into one ^^,
Other than that good effort :D
3 stars; A good start, needs some work but worth tracking.
oh oh do Elusive and female Applejack
you should keep it all in one universe.
I'm voting for several universes, and possibly recycling or combining them together in different chapters. That would make things a hell of a lot more interesting. Also, you're not JUST going to do the Mane 6, are you? This is a good idea, and you shouldn't waste it exclusively on six measly ponies.
49784
The mane 6 are all going to be involved, but it's not going to be limited to just them. I managed to figure out enough pairings for a good few chapters, but I can always use more.
This sounds funny. Will update thoughts when I've actually read the chapter.
Rule 63
Shipping
Not selfcest
You have my attention.
Man, I was gonna point out that Twilight couldn't stand on the could without the cloud-walking spell, but then you went and ruined my fun
Anyway, if you're writing more I'd say put them in the same universe. Continuity is always nice, and it allows for followup to earlier chapters without devoting another chapter to it.
Ahem:
Unusually tall and strong Apple Sister, Red Gala and unlucky friend of the family Caramel.
50368 But then its only fun for the twidash shippers.
bubbledash
51886 Or... they could not ship Dash at all? She doesn't have to be the paired off in every chapter, and I think exploring lots of different pairings (and being able to build on previous stories) is more interesting than just rehashing dash/somepony else every chapter with no continuity
52101 I didnt mean it that way. I was thinking something like The Combinatorics Project, Exploring every pairing that way
I just would like to see all the pairings this way
I like where this is going. keep up the good work. i'm a fan of Octascratch pairing and the characters you are portraying are believable and workable. can't wait for more
i miss it already
hahaha keep up the good work, man. i'll have to continue watching this just so i can see the next octavia chapter. 
and of course, for the others as well. 
How is it that through three separate stories where these two are together, their relationship is more or less the same even when one of them is a guy?
54521
If you mean Octavia and Vinyl Scratch, you have a point. My opinion is that it's based around fanon portrayal of the two.
I think it's generally accepted that Vinyl is a bit more of a tomboy than Octavia, who's usually more of high socialite. That kind of combination seems to be a little limiting in terms of romance, but to be honest I find that kind of romance endearing. I'm sure there are other stories that do this differently, it just happens that three people got the same idea as to how these two work together.
49969 "Selfcest?" My dear sir, I hope you realize that Playing with an exact copy of yourself - whether it is the opposite gender or not - is simply inter-dimensional masturba - er, clopping.
54567
I think you should make it an anthology series, exploring each ship this way, its an interesting idea and I wouldent want anypony left out on the ship for all fun
BubbleDash
AppleBlitz
Twilusive
Duskypie
The results are fun
Harpsybon?
Rarijack/Applusive
Its would be a shame for anyone to not get in on the fun.
Of course, its a nice idea to have a couple universes.
64005
Is Harpsy the accepted male name for Lyra? If it is that saves me a whole lot of trouble.
64019
Yes.
So you like the idea?
I chose who would be the better swappee,
Bubbledash fits better than pinkie blitz, seeing as I cant see rainbow blitz, as a guy, putting up with a girl like pinkie. Plus berry makes a nice stalking subplot if you wanted to include how they fall in love.
AppleBlitz seems better than Appledash (guy) Because if applejack was a dude, there wouldnt be much physical competition, seeing how buff he is, and with blitz, hes still on equal ground
Duskypie instead of sparkleberry, because twilight seems more like the guy in the usual portrayal of the ship, awkward and easily annoyed,
Applusive works better than Rarijack,applejack falling for a guy prissier than she is works slighty better than (its still good the other way round) rarity in love with a big buff stallion
Harpsybon is better since lyra is already the man in the relationship, quirky, homer simpsonesque(except smarter) laidback, and bonbon is the housewife
Bonbon: Harpsy, stop sitting like a freak
Harpsy: Ehh, maybe later
64019
I chose who would be the better swappee, as I realized that it really works different with the other one swapped
64077
Alright, my opinions are as follows
1. Interesting idea, but I don't really know how to work with Pinkie in anyway. I'll sit on it.
2.Sorry, but no. AppleDash is one of the few ships I don't particularly like. This is mostly because it seems way too confrontational to be stable, which is incredibly ironic considering what the next chapter will be about. If it's your deal, that's fine but I don't get it. Also, I'm fairly sure that Dash would find a way around Guy-Applejack's superior strength.
3.Same problem as 1. Pinkie is a nice character and I like her for that, but I can't just get myself into that sugar crazed mindset she exists in.
4 and 5. Wait on it. Also, can Tootsie Flute be a part of the later?
64088
I ha...dislike appledash too, i just suggested it incase you liked it
Also, yes I love tootsie flute!
It's a good thing you decided to put it all in one universe. Makes the pacing much better and we get to see our favorite characters come back again.
Now, it seems Elusive wants some time with Applejack too. I hope it's just cause their friends, or else Trixter may have some competition. And that will obviously end well.
Lastly, I saw a Red GalaxCaramel shout out. Are you doing a chapter of them anytime soon? Not to seem pushy or anything, it's just nice to see Caramel straight in this.
I hope you update soon and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Evo
i would like a continuation of the octascratch chapter
however this was every entertaining and hope you continue with all the pairings.
i also agree with Evowizard25, having them in the same universe works well.
Till next time
I'm a little nervous that the observation stuff will turn out to be some sort of weird framing story that doesn't fit the rest of the story, but I do like how the actual story is going. I'm looking forward to seeing applejack and elusive, it seems like a promising dynamic.
i like it.
and i was quite unaware that this ship existed. also, big mac as a chick was freakin hysterical. KEEP BEING AWESOME!!! and write me some more chapters. you dont want me to call moar crabs on you, do you?
I'm pretty sure vinyls a chick...did you not know or was that intended?
66290
the story is taking a pairing and genderbending one of the two
I half expected:
Fast forwarding memory to a more recent one.
But that's just me.
75445
I'm having a hard enough time keeping this a straight romance as is, try not to give me anymore ideas.
Anyway, the next update will take a while since for whatever reason I'm going to post two chapters next time. Just thought I'd let you know.
Im back with a Genderbent pairing!
Silver Spoon and Golden Crown. As Silver spoon was a total groupie for Diamond, she has a mega huge crush on her Bff Golden Crown. In this world, Silver spoon is much more a lackey henchmare, Golden crown pushes her around a lot worse than diamond tiara did her, But in the end, loves her (Plot Idea: Silver spoon finally gets sick of his crap and chews him out at his birthday party, and Golden Crown gets ridiculed by Scooteroll, and he runs off. Silver spoon realizes she loves him anyway, and decides to forgive him, when Golden crown bursts in, apologizing)

i really love the genderbend and how all the stories link together cant wait for an update
if you were gonna add socks im amazed you never managed to fit luna in this now thats somthing id like to see
98450
Not everything with socks has to have Luna in it and vice versa. I guess I can find a way to put Luna in, if you can find a pairing for him/her that hasn't been taken yet.
my (insert name here) sense are tingiling nope wait thats my stomach
Wow an AppleTrix pairing, and it was pulled off very well. Please bring the next ch. as soon as possible.
Very enjoyable. Keep the updates coming!
KEEP EM COMING
I have to see what happens next.
Also, Vinyl...LEAVE HER BOWTIES OUT OF THIS! Bowties are cool!
Lastly, be careful Harpsy. Your little display almost blew your cover.
I hope you update soon.
Sincerely,
Evo
so will the genders and pairings stay the same through the chapters or will they eventually change like having a male!twilightXtrixie or rainbow dashXmale!pinkie pie

I almost put the Doctor in so he could say that line, but I forgot.
And what cover?

I haven't thought that far ahead yet. We'll just have to see.
