She owns tiara rights?
This is going on my "If I don't read this by the morrow I'll punch myself in the face" list, right now I have a beret, and icicle, and a dream to attend to.
[Edit] And now that I've finished running around screaming like a banshee in good ol' 2fort, I can hereby proclaim that the two longer stories were quite pleasant.
Oh my god that cover image is solid win.
And a new prompt up, if anyone wants to join in the fun.
SOOO FUNNY!!!
And I'd like to see a fic where Chryssie is on the side of the ponies. I don't think reforming would work, as she isn't really evil. Maybe a trade pact?
Wow, you guys are actually doing this! This is amazing! I need to try this out!
2095665
Indeed we are and indeed you should. The more the merrier!
D: Damn it! Well my fic should be done by Tuesday or hopefully earlier.
Hey Mudpony, I've noticed an error in this prompt.
In the sentence {"What's that on your heads? Did you
madetiaras to mock me? You did, didn't you?"} It should be Make not Made.2102623
Thanks. Will fix that later, along with another couple of typos.
2096888
Done yet?
Fun. Things like pineapples are like drugs, and clearly Earth Ponies are seen like people saw black people in the south of the USA until relitivly recently.
Commisioner Gordhorn? Does that mean Batmam lives there?
Pony

It makes me sort of sad that some people view earth ponies as the lesser of the three, because of their racial gift. Guess it is a first world problem type of deal. We're free to think how cool flying would be and what we could do with magic, rather than worrying about where our next meal is coming from. Luckily, the show makes it pretty clear that all three are equal and cutie mark/talent matters more than race.
But oh well, I had fun with the ideas of tropical fruit as drugs (seemed like the type of thing that goes with fruit/cakes/pies as weapons) and the ghetto being a place teeming with plant life and gardens, something we'd typically associate with a desirable place to live.

Eakin's silly Dark Knight of Canterlot has that being the case.
That's certainly possible.

Thanks.
[jedi mind trick]It has always said pony.[/jedi mind trick]
2131095 Without the Earth Ponies there would be a lot of hungry unicorns and pegusai.
damnit... damnit... WHY DID I HAVE TO DISCOVER BEST PONY STORY AT THIS HOUR!?!
I'm gonna have to read this whole thing now aren't I? *Diamond Tiara's lips curl softly into a warm soft tender smile as she tilts her head ever slightly to the side*
*CRACKS WHIP*
"WELL DUH! Why ELSE would it be UP here! Now go serve your TRUE Princess and READ MY STORY!"

"NOT EVERYONE CAN CAPTURE M- *ahem* Well, it's not easy to comprehend and capture the majesty that is me. Therefore, naturally its up to my legion of proofreaders and prereaders to make sure only the BEST get through. "
"You mean *I*. Your first sentence was grammatically incorrect, it ended with a *me*. Also, you used *its* over *it's*, so you basically said you "it have up" "my up" so you *puts on shades* OWNED UP to your responsibilities!"
*a rather low but strong adorable growl ensues*

Sorry, I had more fun then I should have...
2131418 Wait a minute, are you suggesting that Unicorns and Pegusai eat Earth Ponies.
This was the best thing I've read all day!
Awesome story! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Only Edgeworth could successfully be Diamond's attorney. Everyone else would end up either quitting, getting fired, or getting sued.
Hmm.. glad I found this hidden gem.
Get it Flim? Gem, because it's about Diamond!...
It's not working! Play me off Flim!
Wait, this is a story now? Awesome! Consider it liked and faved.
Interesting interpretation of Diamond Tiara being a "spy"...Scootaloo has a crush on Diamond?! Oh, dear Faust...I don't know what to think of this...
I burst out laughing at the Scootaloo scene. Is ScootaDiamondBloom your OTP now, Yukito?
If Diamond Tiara wants to have real fun as a dead ringer spy, she should try Harvest. I'm usually a decent spy on every other map, but on Harvest I end up getting in the top three with at least a kill streak of 7 every other round. Then again, seeing Diamond Tiara completely fail at Harvest would be fun too. It's especially fun when you kill the rocket jumpers on the roof right when they shoot.
A clear example why Yukito is one of the best and underrated writers on this site
!
Never said 2fort. Never described it as 2fort. And yet I perceived it as 2fort from the very beginning. Not sure why I find that so funny.
Well, that last chapter was a bit of a diversion xD I take it this one is just a sort of a break chapter? Or is Scootaloo seriously got the hots for DT canon in the actual main story? Or is this really a part of the main story and all the ponies actually play TF2 like this :P
Luna gamer is best gamer. Oh and lol at RD rage quitting when she lost her Fluttershy <3 lol
Cute chapter.
I guess you get a thumbs up at least. I wish the chapters were just a bit pinch longer. They seem to end so abruptly.
EDIT: Oh right, different authors work on this fic xD

Yeah, it is a collection of independent short stories, based on prompts. No story arc or anything. Just whatever idea the prompt sparks in someone's head, be it something new and silly or an excuse to use an idea they've had kicking around for a while but never gotten around to using
If you enjoyed these though, then check out The Diamond Cutters group. There, you'll find a bunch of longer stories involving DT by the authors of these short stories, as well as others, running the gamut from comedy to romance to pony in a box.
Wow.
She owns tiara rights.
I like this collab already.
Entertaining.
Silver Spoon's got the Intersect. Diamond must be the one who'll see most of the action until Season 3.
Hey, I just joined the Diamond Cutters. Could I write something for this story?
2272185
You sure can. The more the merrier. Just drop MagerBlutooth or myself a note if you have any questions and/or when you have something completed, and we can add it. Doesn't have to be the latest prompt either; older ones work as well.
2272851Great piece
2290416
Hopefully it all comes together.
Thanks. Working on a sequel to that right now, where they get to work with an agent from Manehatten to defuse a bomb plot.
2291724No doubt it'll came together great!
Cutie Mark Crusaders Gravediggers! YAY!
Also, never buy digital pets, they are a waste of money and die on purpose, so you have to buy another one. Waste of electronics.
Yay for Sweetie. Now she'll be set for when she needs to bury her goldfish.

No, bad Tiara! You shouldn't deal with changelings in that way.
I'm ashamed of you, filly. You should know better.
The check leaves a paper trail, plus it could bounce or be cancelled. Next time, insist on unmarked, non-sequential bills, uncut gems, or bearer bonds.
R.I.P. Piyo, R.I.P.
2324344 Not pony account. Changeling account. Only changelings can trace it.
I have yet to read this, but before I do I would like to input my opinion. I feel her father, Filthy Rich, is busy a lot and her mom probably doesn't pay Much attention to her. Feeling neglect, she takes out her anger on other ponies. Silver spoon might have social issues, which is why she sticks so close to DT and bullies along with her. Another theory is that they're just sisters feeling neglected, but I like the first one better.
Uh oh.
Rex is going to be the most amazing pet ever.
Well, at least she didn't take an interest in math. Science destroys. Math conquers.
Also, Vel's tail stuck whipped when she let him go.
I'm in love with this story, please make this into a full blown multi chap story full of awesome
!!!!

When I was writing this piece, I kept thinking to myself, "There's so much left to explore here." If I had the time, I think it would be fun to continue. I'd definitely support someone else having a go at it if they wanted to try.
