Haha! Love that unexpected turn! And all because Fluttershy left out a few details.
Hehe, nice one. :D Poor Pinkie was nearly set to go into panic mode. Still, nice that she was a good sport once she saw what was going on.
2352867
Thank you, I enjoy reading a twist in my stories and I'll always try to put one into mine.

Pinkie loves a good joke and it's not important if she is the one playing the prank or the pranked. In the first idea I had all of Ponyville in on the prank, including the cakes who had the task to keep her at the Corner while everyone else just pretended to be be pranked by her. I changed it in the end because this way not only is she the target of her friends' prank, everyone else thinks even higher of her for those other pranks.

I enjoyed it. There were some very funny moments (poor Big Mac). If I recall correctly the word limit was 2.000 words so your stories can be a little long.
2437721
Then I spend another five to fifteen minutes trying to figure out how "consciousness" and the likes are spelled and all that itty-bitty grammar stuff. Not being a native English speaker is hard work. 
Wait, Big Mac? What did I do to him?
That's what you get for living as a bachelor with your family, I guess. There's only one way to keep your sisters or mother from asking stupid questions about ... the way you fold your socks: Move out.
Well, there is another. But who wants to stop wearing socks?
Usually I simply type away for the 30 minutes, ignoring pretty much all of the red google docs throws at me and the story clocks in at about 1000 words automagicly. Unless I lose track of time because it's past one already. Again.
2439912 I feel your pain. My texts are always a big red screen of death and I spent 15 of the 30 minutes fixing my mistakes. And still I cringe thinking on the poor mods reading my stuff, especially Norsepony.
English is way difficult that it was when I learned it in school.
And yeah that scene when Big Mac walks in and Applejack basically tells him to piss off, haha. I love the poor guy.
Awww, poor Sweetie Belle.... Don't feel bad, girl! You'll get someone to love!
2453670
Maybe, but not in my stories. She's a kid, for Celestia's sake. Look at "Hearts and Hooves day". The Crusaders have no real concept of romance and I doubt that canon will ever get to the point that they do.
I think you mean 'indisposed'.
2487628
You are correct. Thank you.
Poor Fluttershy.
2549665
Yeah, I wasn't exactly happy with Fluttershy's role, but I couldn't come up with another thing that might bother her enough. I played with the idea to make her homophobic, but that didn't sit well with me either.
I blame the timelimit.
Please capitalize your title.
2559330
Do you mean this?
I'm not a native speaker, but I'm pretty sure that "queen" should not be capitalized.
2559444
Your title. The title. The "short stories about ponies and whatnot" title.
Capitalizing chapter titles would also be a good idea, but I won't press my luck.
2559670
Oh, right.
[X] done
Cute story, but you should use some sort of separator between Spike's and Rarity's segments.
“So, you girls hang here often?”
Oh Spike always classy...
2615715
What can I say, Spike gets all the good lines.
I just wish I had more ideas to use him.
ONE OF THOSE OBNOXIOUS ERROR REPORTS YOU'VE SEEN ME LEAVE ALL OVER THE PLACE
YES
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN
Brave brave Commander Sunspot simply cannot abide voiceless agreement.
2715827
My turn, huh? Well, I'd love to read one of your stories and nitpick about orthography. Now go and write one.
But I'm okay with this, thanks for spotting.
2715851 Sir, sir. SIR. I'm a pre-reader, not a writer.
Anyway, I have the best intentions with these error reports. If I see typos, vagrant formatting or misbehaving punctuation and I don't mention it... that's bad. It means that I don't think that it's worth the time to correct it. Fortunately, it's not like anybody notices when I don't do something.
Anyway, Shutaro, holy crap, these shorts are really great. I'm reading one a day, and I must say that if you're taking these prompts to cut your teeth on, consider them cut. If you write any longer features, I can guarantee that you'll have at least one reader.
I really liked your take that filly Rarity will drag her friends to the spa and consider that fun and how Pinkie is totally okay with that. It was really sweet.
2715862
Thank you. Actually, I do have something in the making.
2737053
Who wouldn't be okay with an invitation to the spa? The spa is great, even Spike enjoys a visit.
If loving sweets is evil, then I REVEL in my wickedness!
I notice Luna did not even refer to the opposite side of that statement...
"The truth that can be spoken is not the truth."
It's possible to interpret that as meaning that it's possible to lie by telling truths, and letting the listener draw their own (false) inferences...
2824793
My answer is threefold:
I) Luna is pony princess. She wouldn't use misdirection to lead you to false assumptions, and neither would she want to put those kind of ideas in Twilight's head.
II) That quote is from one of the two important books of Taoism (and practically the only thing I remember from learning about it in school), so I wasn't inclined to be actually philosophic about it.
III) That prompt came up at 01:00 (AM, just if there was any misunderstanding here), and I was really torn to write anything at all or go to bed on time for a change.
So there!

I don't think I'll do that. I probably can't give both sides justice here. On the one hand RD is right and AJ would agree: The team told a lie by omitting the fact that they screwed up.
On the other hand the Wonderbolts were spinning a yarn here, and calling somebody out on the colorful additions to their story is a bit of a dick-move. You don't tell the old sailor that his ship wasn't sailing through a sea of blood, it was just some algae.
And, on a completely unrelated note, if Rainbow ever tells the story of Nightmare Moon, it'll be "How Rainbow Dash saved the world from eternal night. Twilight Sparkle was there too."
I really like how Sweetie says now she understands Spike better, that was a nice touch.
2715851
they force her to sleep at 8AM? are they night ponies?
2948070
I have no excuse.
2948209
I thought it was funny
Nice twist on a ship making it into a cake
You know? I know you say this isn´t shipping and kyronea also interpret it as physical love but I can´t help but think that there´s a romantic angle to it. A tragic romance, that Rainbow is actually hurt when she can´t tame the skies. It´s hard to describe but I think it realy hurts Rainbow when she fails at a trick and it hurts cause she loves so much riding the sky.
Loved this story!
whats a revenue survice?
2959672
The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is the U.S. government agency responsible for tax collection and tax law enforcement.
future twilight went to past Spike...but what was with her pained expressions so much?
2981914
Twilight pushed talking to Spike off and off and off again until the only way to do it was timetravel-magic. They hadn't talked like this for so long that at some point it wasn't salvagable anymore. There were tears and much gnashing of teeth.
2981990
The teeth gnashing and tears when she was speaking to him or when she was deciding to go back in time?
2982002
"Back" in the future. But you can see it in the present, too. Twilight filled her list with 1138 points before she thought of Spike.
Haha, that's hilarious! Wonderful take on the prompt, that!
2997700
Thank you. My first idea was Twilight hunting Ochry 'sa Lis in a 'war on changelings' but that got too serious, and I have a comdy-tag to love up to.
Good story. (slight hint of SpikeLight? Maybe I´m reading too much...)
Did you had any problems with this prompt? I was really confused about what to write about this time
Ha! I liked this very much. I love the idea that Trixie is feared at the Unicorns School but made a better reputation after she befriended Twilight. Also, it´s my headcanon that Trixie is good with fillies and colts so I liked this very much!
Sooo if I interpreted this corectly, this immortal Twilight who had spent so much time with her work that now she is force to travel through time to meet Spike again, possibily because he´s already sleeping as an older dragon?
Not quite sure but if that the idea is pretty harsh, like Twilight has suffered a lot over the centuries. Now, is Spike doing this regullary, like Twilight never listens to him and so he goes to the bridge to think? Or am I reading too much into it?
LOL
To be honest, I kind of liked Twilight´s name for the band.
