Here comes only the truth and nothing butt
While I understand this story was built upon the punchline, it does strongly reinforce the traditional stereotype of the typical snooping sensationalist reporter.
Never trust the media.
Truth doesn’t pay as well as scandal.
I am assuming Equestria has “freedom of speech” otherwise Anon’s actions would be extremely foolish.
However, one petit purple pony princess should be feeling extremely uncomfortable about the consequences of her recent actions and trust in certain individuals.

Honestly? This story was written with absolutely zero deeper meaning, or really much thought behind it. I've been trying to get back into writing, and these little bites just seem like the perfect vehicle. I've never been much of a comedy writer beyond situational comedic bits in a larger storyline. I don't even really expect many people to like it. It really doesn't have much to it, and was much more difficult to squeeze into 1000 words than I expected. I'd need another 1500-2000 words to do it justice, but the premise was barely worth 1000 words as it is. That being said I learned enough in the doing to not call it time wasted

I, for one, enjoyed it. I found my own 1,000-word story to be quite difficult. It's impossible to have a plot in 1,000 words. Here, have an upvote.

I'm much happier with the other entry I wrote. It was way easier to write as well. I'll probably have a horror entry up at some point, but it's not exactly writing itself either
Still, I can't complain, I'm actually writing again.
BREAKING NEWS!
Equestria's space program makes a massive leap! Anon becomes the first human to ever step on the moon of Equus!

so some person named "plotbuster" wrote a story on "royal duties" and says there's no deeper meaning. To say this is inspired is putting it mildly, your subconscious is showing.

Seeing as my subconscious and I aren't exactly on speaking terms, I'm in no position to deny this.
funny to think that as time goes on, references to movies from the 80s will grow less and less relatable to the average internet person
hey there was a whole episode about that, it didn’t come from nowhere!
aww glad that the ponies are adapting to species-inclusive language
aww poor Luna not knowing what she is walking into
and thus the visit to the bathroom. also, very fun that Luna chooses to have her toilet the same color as herself. ponies sure do love their color schemes!

80's references are indeed waning, but I'll do my part to keep them around.
