It's fanfiction all the way down.
Changelings can be named after insect body parts. Thorax. Chrysalis. Pharynx. So Leg is a changeling name. Sortof. Technically. She's not happy with it.
My entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Contest #14, "A Worthy End." Written in one hour and totally unedited.

Fixed!

The contest had two parts, so I wrote each chapter in 1 hour.

Thanks! I added attribution to FiMFic so others can find it.

It's not that hard if you're hyper focused and know what you're going to write.
Well, getting a 'Leg' up on life shouldn't be too hard, especially when this changeling didn't skip her birthday.
Dressing for the job you want works especially well for changelings.
This is HYSTERICAL. All her awkward pauses as she comes up with explanations on the spot are perfect. And I love how the ponies just blithely accept her explanations because, frankly, THEY KNOW TWILIGHT, but Leg finds their acceptance of her own weird explanation even weirder. Beautiful.
Maulwurf are scary things, so it's perfectly fine to tremble in a bush when threatened with one.
That's going to be mean to anyone who has to listen.
And so we see the gradual and completely accidental rise of Princess Leg the Heroic. Accidentally heroic is still kind of heroic, right?!?
Hah! :D
Alright, let's see what's past the title and description... :)
[finishes reading]
Delightful. :D
I can already tell this will be leg-endary.

All hail princess Leg!
Y'know, the worst part is? I fully believe that ponies are dumb enough that they'd believe Leg.
This is glorious!
Basically everyone knows she isn't Twilight but puts up with it as she isn't making trouble! So sweet!
And lol Pharynx, OMG!
Typo:
makde > make
I bet Gin Su told Applejack everything, she figured it out, Applejack told the rest of the Mane 6 and are try to get Leg to calm down and reveal herself.
Yeah!
Perceptive Pinkie is awesome Pinkie!

Typo:
ruler of Equestrian > ruler of Equestria

Leg: flee
The Everfree
Ponyville's a temporary sanctury
Pon-y
Idiocy
Result: she is heroic accidentally
Think-y
Pink-ie
Picking up what might be a discrepancy
Princess T
may-be?
Dancing well's an idiosyncracy
Take: place
Hide from chase
Twilight's empty palace is a new home base
Storm Guard:
test case?
Result: a flying hero-hoof direct to the face!
And that's where we get the phrase 'leg it'?
I think Pinkie's Pinkie sense may have detected a Changeling!
Amazing to think that "spell that allows her to be in twi places because I miss it" is more believable than "Twiggles learning how to dance"
Could have been worse. She could have been named “Ovipositor”
Hey look, featured.
Say hi to my new changeling oc: Telescoping Penis
What is Leg?
I can just picture all of those ponies saying that in complete unison.
At the end of this chapter: A changeling puts her best part forwards saving a filly.
I love everything about this. Leg is best.
Ah, seems like its going towards the ever delightful Flashman premise.
This is almost like the Changeling version of Commissar Cain. Always in the places where momentous things happen, never actually wanting to be there.

The opposite of Caito Sicarious - always at important events and nobody wants him there. Events like "existence".
So if somepony carries this Changeling does that mean they have a Leg up on everypony else?
What happens if they don't meet with them? Does that mean they skip Leg day?
What about if they break off their interactions completely? Does that mean they Lego of their history that they built?
9896633
Yeah, but nobody really wants the Smurfs around anyway.
9896760
Boooo!!!!
Very Good!
I am so glad that there's even more of this. Looking forward to the next installment.
9894217
Very quickly.

What are you on and where can I find it?
Asking for a friend.
Mein Gott. This changeling is the hottest of hot messes. 🤣

This would require typing over 70 WPM
Lots of people can type that fast, but creating it too?
I’m guessing that they had the story prewritten & just copied & pasted it

I wrote each chapter in a speed-writing contest, so I had 2 hours total, not 1.

Dreams are a wonderful thing. Lots of the scenes I write come to me in that brief period between being asleep and being awake in the morning. And, sometimes, everything just . . . flows.
I presume he had a situation like that.
I really like Leg so far. I hope you intend to continue this even after the speedwriting contest!
(I wonder if Leg would get along with Valvula, a minor changeling character of mine who was bullied out of the hive for her unfortunate name.)

As a child, I had nightmares & taught myself lucid dreaming to control it
(IDK it was a thing until decades later)
Point is, I often rewrite stories & TV shows in my dreams
A very fun story so far, looking forward to more!
9898362
Interesting and fun, right? At least, once the nightmares stop being a nuisance. My turning point was when I turned around and ran up the tail to start riding the dinosaur that was chasing me.
