OFFICIAL ENTRY FOR THE SUNSET X SUNSET (OCTOBER 2021) SHIPPING CONTEST)
Ever since discovering the magic of friendship in this new human world, Sunset Shimmer has had everything going beyond well in life.
Everything except perhaps the most important thing to anyone of any species. Love.
Everyone else seems to be too busy with their own successes to even notice, and this leads our hero into a hopeless question. "Who really can love someone like me?"
The answer comes from the most unlikeliest source. Herself?!?
That was a cute & heartwarming one-shot.
(Thank you for submitting to the contest)

The contest submissions close later today so some time tomorrow or the day after. 👍
ha, these were some fun lines!
it was fun to see the Equestria-fied version of Monopoly, which really makes me wish that one existed for me to buy! and this story was definitely unique in bringing in all of the different versions of Sunset instead of just two or three like the others. i also liked that it ended up being a more low-concept story, with the purpose of her other selves being to help Sunset learn how to love herself after losing her connections with the friendships that defined her (especially with Sci-Twi prioritizing Timber Spruce over her, oof! that would send me into a tailspin). and it was a nice, heartwarming note to end on, too. thanks for the entry!

Saw that comment just now.
Thanks for the kind words, and I really do hope that this story inspires others to find the worth in themselves to see them as worth loving too.
Just curious here, I know you mentioned the "literal Sunset Shimmer" bit, but is there another favorite part you had? 🤔
Every version of Sunset Shimmer in this story. Good work.
