Letter Zero
Twilight had just brought her mail in from the mailbox when she spotted it. It was an envelope slightly larger than the rest and seemed to draw her eyes to it. Figuring that'd she'd have to open it eventually the unicorn deftly opened the letter and began to read it.
~^~Dear Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, Faithful Student of Celestia,and one of my personal heroes~^~
I would like to start by introducing myself. While I have personally gone through many titles, some given, some taken, some unwanted, and some made by myself, I will introduce myself as The Filly Angel. Anyway, down to business. I will first assure you that you are not being stalked in any way, nor have I been through your mail.
That being said, I know that you send friendship reports to Princess Celestia every time you learn something new. I...envy your position. Not the position of power, but of the friends and the atmosphere. The sense of family and belonging. I envy you because of what you manage to have. Anyway, moving on, knowing that you sent friendship reports, it got me thinking, 'Couldn't I send them too?' I though, can't get my letters to Celestia, so I guess the main point of this letter is to ask if you would mind reading these when you get them and being my 'Princess Celestia'.
It would also be cool if occasionally when I sent one in and it was, say, a Loyalty based letter, maybe you could have Rainbow Dash check it out.
Finally, while i can contact you, you while be unable to contact me. Therefore I will always send my letters in the same envelope. If you wish to continue reading them, then that's great, but if not, feel free to throw them into the fire.
Now to my second main point, my actual lesson for this letter.
Twilight Sparkle, I have learned that you can never truly understand just how strong or deep our actions will run in the rivers of life. That while you yourself may not realize it, your actions can directly influence of those a lifetime away. That your hope, kindness, loyalty, honesty, generousity, and laughter can reach out and touch someone who might not have ever experienced it and bring them a many smiles, tears of joy, and the chance to go out and make new friends, and not be alone.
Therefore, everypony should do their best to be the best friend they can be to everypony they meet, because they never know who they could reach out and touch.
~^~Your eager new student
The Filly Angel~^~
Twilight read and reread the letter three or four times as tears lifted into her eyes. They weren't sad though, it was knowing that some how, somewhere, was a pony that she had helped. That the magic of friendship really was that powerful. The unicorn used her magic to duplicate the letter she'd received before she withdrew a quill and a scroll for herself.
"Spike, I'm about to have a letter for you to send to the Princess!"

Hell yeah I'll help! This seems like a really awesome idea man. I like what you did with the whole "You cannot contact me" thing, although it seems to me like a plot twist towards the end she could MEEt Filly Angel. Thoughts?
Also, I am TOTALLY in!
1914953 This isn't like a you can't contact me because I having reasonings behind not wanting to be contacted. Its a "you can't because these reports are supposed to come from us, the author's and readers and fellow bronies."
Meta stories, stories where an author in the site is in the story, are banned and won't be allowed, therefore if you wrote a report and sent it to me, I would write in into the chapter as. "Dear Twilight Sparkle.
Today I have a report from a friend of mine Exvee(X.V.) and he wanted to share what he learned."
That way it isn't explicitly stating that it was an author, nor was I having Twilight contact us.
That and the story is based on my original idea of having a human send letter one way from earth, but I like the Massive Letter Project idea more.
It is literally to show that Six friend, six ponies who have stuck by eachother's sides through thick and thin, have affected so many people, and that these people, the bronies, could effectively change the world.
1915005 Yes, but wouldn't it be cool if we had somewhat of a persona in their that stands as a symbol for all of us? If not, then nevermind lol. This is your brainchild, and I'm not going to tell you what to do
1915017 I get what your meaning, like a figurehead of sorts. The thing with that is when you have a figurehead, everypne falls into line behind them, so when they march forawrd, all you see is one thing. I want this to be us all coming together side by side, so when the world see's us, they don't see one man, or figure head leading the way, but instead a whole line of people who all think dream and wish for the same thing.
1915031 I get what you mean, and I realise that what I was saying wouldn't truly represent the message we're trying to convey here. So, the true beauty of it is that she can't get in contact with mysterious figure, is because there IS no "Filly Angel", only a vast population of ponies representing the same belief with no true leader. That about right?
1915071 Pretty Much. I thought it would make the story and the lessons mean that much more if you could wrap the name Filly Angel around thousands of people that all learn the same lessons and live laugh and love the same way.
Like when you think of the Mane Six, you don't think of one pony, but a set of friends that need support and rely on eachother, same thing really.
1915084 Alright, so I think I have a decent grasp of the situation now. So, where should we start?
1915104 Do you have and Friendship reports on things you've learned about friendship? If not, go write one and send it to me, I'll get it into the next chapter!
