Dear Princess Sunflower,
I’m really glad I’m friends with Applejack because god damn is she ruthless.
Six months ago, the Apples were all booty bothered because Filthy Rich was building a motel right on the edge of the orchard. The construction would damage dozens of trees, directly affecting their business. Muddy Money offered them a big bag of bitcoin to offset their potential losses, but Little Miss Leather ‘n Lassos was having none of it. She marched straight into town the next day with her own bag of bitcoin, but didn’t say what she was going to do with it. She eventually stopped talking about the construction, so we assumed she had given up.
Fast-forward to yesterday. The motel was mostly finished, so Fruitsnack revealed to us that she had already gone through the process of purchasing three tiny slivers of land around the site. In just a few hours, she had a fence put up, effectively blocking off three sides of the motel. If anyone wanted to stay there, they’d have to either jump the fence or walk around to the rear of the building and then walk all the way back to the front just to get inside. Needless to say, this would heavily deter customers. It was also probably illegal, but we’re going to ignore that.
Dirty Dollar caved like a little bitch and sold the motel at a loss to the Apples. They plan to turn it into a warehouse by next year to store their cider.
If nothing else,
I will take this as a powerful example of what can be accomplished through pure spite.I now have a fun story to tell about my friend.Your permanent purple nurple,
Twice Cream
Ooh, I do love me some victory through the power of spite >:D
Hot damn, the AJ in your world is the master of Nuclear Revenge!
Honestly, if Filthy was dumb enough not to buy the land connecting the facing of his property to the road he deserved to have something like this happen.

He didn’t get rich by not cutting corners
Oh, I'm so looking forward to reading the new chapters here and their responses! :D:D
Why do i have the feeling there's a farmer pony who is going to have s portion of their property " volunteered " to the crown that is if they dont mind paying 75 % taxes on there products .
I am FUELED BY SPITE!!!
You'd think by now that Filthy—he doesn't get to be called Mr. Rich after a stunt like this—would know better than to provoke the Apples like this. He clearly needs the fear of Granny put back in him.

Darn Tootin' he does!
(I can already imagine seeing Granny Smith chasing Filthy with her walker or a cane)

Honestly, this sounds like a stunt Spoiled Rich would put him up to after Granny passed, which the epilogue heavily implies has happened sometime after the final defeat of Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek.
Another thing, I wonder what names Anon would give Cozy, Tirek, and Chrysalis.

Remember, these letters take place before Twilight gets her wings. Also, bold of you to assume Granny wouldn't haunt his sorry ass.

Some of these do sound like Anon's take on actual episodes, though most do seem to be about original stories that are well beyond the show's age-rating. Seriously, some of these would push the show to at least TV-14, if not TV-MA

Are you saying accidental murder, incestuous hickeys, and STDs aren’t kid friendly?
:(

I'm just saying they wouldn't be appropriate for Saturday morning cartoons. Those are more Prime Time/Adult Swim/fanfiction topics.
I was wondering when this one was gonna show up. If Anon writes a letter for Spike He'd definitely be calling him barney at least once.
Sounds like AJ has been reading the r/prorevenge subreddit.

I thought they were... :(

I just honestly don't see this happening, primarily because Filthy knows that his wealth is intrinsically tied to the Apple family, so he has a level of respect for them. I don't see why he would try to burn a bridge like that.
Being out of character aside, this scenario is hilarious for all the right reasons.
Jesus Applejack!
Hardcore.
Ahhhhh, a good ol' fashioned spite fence. In case anyone's curious, yes this is in fact based off a true story!
9887512
It is?
Neat

Oh absolutely! The classic case is Crocker vs. Yung, where basically Crocker was a railroad investor who wanted to build a mansion in San Francisco and bought out a bunch of lots to do it, but one guy, an undertaker by the name of Nicolas Yung, refused to sell. So Crocker instead built a fence tall enough to require supporting buttresses around it to block off Yung's house from the street, and built his house anyways.

There's a great episode of The Dollop about it if you're curious, they go into way more detail.

Spoiled probably pressured him into it.
Huh. Why'd I get an update for this chapter?
Edit: and now it's gone. Might've just been my phone
Nah, but building over people’s private property and destroying their product is very much illegal.

I wonder how he would interact with them period. But considering Twilight's interactions with those three were largely shaped by the fact she was a Alicorn being groomed to take Celestia's place, I highly doubt their fates wound up being the same in this universe.
Holy smokey shit this is just full-on nuclear revenge for the pettiest shit.

I dunno, maybe Equestrian laws have loopholes regarding that
