Frustrated at being used as a bad example in a public blogpost for all to see, Obnoxious Writer decides he's going to break new ground and create a story that's sure to earn him the admiration he deserves. It involves his fellow example-pony Clueless User. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.

Please, please downvote the everloving Faust out of this.

Pic utterly unrelated, but there is a proper cover image for this fic in the works, amusingly enough.

Tell me the story, Celestia. The one that you promised you would, so long ago...

This is the beginning of a story.

This is the end of a story.

This is a story about beginnings and endings, about gods and mortals, about love and death.

And no explosions either, naturally. Well, there might be explosions, but you get it.

I seem to have started a fad of contests with ass-tighteningly strict word limits, so I'll update this any time I give into temptation and enter yet another one. I guess I'll also use this for anything else I happen to write that is too short and simple for me to want to post it as its own story.

I'll fix errors that are so glaring that I see them while copypasting the stories into here, but other than that I won't be painstakingly editing these. That way, these show what I wrote when I was under a tight time limit, instead of just being very short, mediocre fics.

Also, who honestly cares?

Each one has the contest it was written for and the prompt that it was based on at the top.

Wings, Magic, and Friendship combine to rule the skies.

Against impossible odds and armed only with skill, wit, and faith in each other, these two little ponies will honor their duty to defend the kingdom against a relentless enemy. Together, the fastest flyer in Equestria and the most powerful unicorn of her generation will show the world the meaning of Equestrian air superiority.

Rainbow Dash once bragged that she could clear the sky in ten seconds flat, but this time she's clearing out more than just clouds.

The legend of Starswirl the Bearded is a long one, full of myth and speculation. Twilight has long admired him for his accomplishments in the field of magic theory; others know him as a hero who saved Equestria more than once.

When Twilight and her friends decide to write a play honoring Starswirl's legacy, a disagreement between Twilight and Rainbow Dash over the historical details takes an unexpected twist in the form of an ancient evil seeking revenge on its old nemesis.

The magical land of Equestria is full of secrets. Scattered across the land are ancient things, forgotten things, any one of which may open the door to an earth-shattering revelation.

This is the story of one such ancient and forgotten thing.

Here's something you don't hear every day: I'll write your fic idea for you! Drop your idea in the comments, and if it excites me, I'll scribble up a thousand words or so when I have time.

This little project, a LONG-ass time ago, was meant to get me writing and explore a range of fics from cute to cloppy to grimdark and back. Many of these were written long ago, as you can see--and in many cases I have developed far past them--but I'm still writing minifics. I figure I may as well post them, so I'm going to add them here. Think of this as just a collection of short things that I write whenever they hit me.

I have no content restrictions whatsoever and I enjoy trying unusual things, so throw me your craziest ideas--maybe the crazy will appeal to me!

Ivory spires that put to shame the mountain they're grafted to. Thousands of lives perched on a slab of iron bolted to the side of a cliff, with an artificial sun doin' its best to warm the shadows underneath. Then there's the cybertech changin' the face of ponykind, rubbin' right up against magic the likes of which the world ain't seen for centuries. This, all of this, is New Canterlot. A magical place, in the dangerous way. Everythin' you ever dreamed of, and everythin' you ever feared. For what it's worth, good luck out there... I think you're gonna need it.

Setting inspired by Shadowrun, for both of you who care.
