The colt, Silver Letter, had only known loneliness in his short life. Everywhere he had gone, friendship had eluded him. Thinking of himself as invisible, the road ahead appeared hopeless and fraught with danger. But things change and soon, life forced him to take another step forward. Friendship was out there. He just had to seize it. When he found a magical device which seemed to fuel his creativity, desires, passions and courage, Silver became a new pony who was ready to take on the world.

Cozy glow has turned evil! Or has she?
After Equestria started losing its magic, Twilight Sparkle and co. have left to find the culprit, leaving her school undefended. Then Cozy Glow mysteriously became Head Mare after Starlight Glimmer disappeared! Something is definitely up with that filly. But they can't help but wonder if something else is at hoof in the school of friendship.

It's so simple, isn't it? Owning land is cut and dry because once it's owned, it's always going to be the same, never changing. That's what the Apples may have believed but the day Apple Bloom sees for her own eyes a forgotten truth, it becomes apparent that more ponies might have claims to the land than they do. And owning land becomes the most uncertain thing ever.

(Author's note: This piece was written in a short amount of time. If it helps, look at Chi and Canary as a metaphor for the nature of wanting to own land and the idea that more than one group can claim to own the same territory. The story doesn't focus on them because there's no changing the past, making them important side characters to a greater issue. There's no ongoing villain or anything suspenseful to stop. The story begins and ends with a question like the question of whether the Apples and the Pies share ancestry. It might not come to a conclusion but it's not really meant to. I want people to come up with their own thoughts on how things would turn out for everyone involved. In this case, the two opposing forces are families who have the same kind of history. )

(Author's note 2: This is written for the Poniverse Summerpalooza 3.0 contest. The theme is about family. I choose to expand on one family's personal history. Pixel and Buffy are characters owned by Poniverse but make a cameo for story purposes. )

Pixel and her pal, Buffy, goes on a vacation to the crowded beach in summer. As much as she loves tinkering with technology all day, even a pony like Pixel needs a break and what better way to do it than with friends? She's always a princess of the internet but rarely just plain old Pixel anymore.

Despite that, some ponies are looking to put an even bigger spotlight on her fame. Enter Azura Peavielle, an up and coming DJ who's trying to make a name for herself by promoting the princesses in her show. She's a good pony and is always trying to do the right thing. Along with her manager, they grace the airwaves everyday.

Twilight Sparkle has never had to worry about money in her life. When has anypony ever remembered her worrying about it when some disaster has befallen town or when her entire house needed extensive renovations? But now the past is catching up to her and her careless attitude might cost Twilight her very home!

Éclair Crème was living comfortably if not happily in the Royal Capital of Canterlot. She had been considering something new in her life for such a long time, jealous of ponies like Twilight Sparkle who she reads about in the papers. She's wanted to live the life of an adventurer since she was a filly and as time goes by, she worries deep down that it will never happen and that life will always remain out of reach. One day, she declares that she will change things and prove everypony wrong. Éclair Crème isn't some boring mare. She can do things that nopony can expect and she will have a tale to tell for it.

Starlight Glimmer is doing her best to integrate herself in Ponyville. She had left the town she ruled behind and is now finding a new place where her past might just be a distant memory. But she, like most ponies, doesn't get that chance. An unknown threat looms over Ponyville and it is a power beyond their time and space. In order to defeat it, they have to understand it.

Prism Wavelength is a very generous spirit, aiding ponies as she can every year at Hearth's Warming. But from circumstances beyond her control, this holiday doesn't feel the same as it normally does.
(My entry into Poniverse's FimFiction Hearth's Warming Eve Contest 2.0)

It has been years since Twilight's coronation but while she continues to be a strong presence in town, life goes on. Peppermint Twist is older now and is prepared to take a leap into the next stage of life, full of the many obstacles that it brings. Sweetie Drops will always be there to help her out. And with that, a touch of sugar can make things all better in the small town of Ponyville where they have always lived. Twist will realize its strength and her potential to be a force of friendship on her own right. It will be fine as long as she doesn't make things a little two sweet.

Change is the only constant in the world. It brought Equestria a world where one princess controls the sun and the moon. Ponies invent things to make life easier. It brings the seasons, growing up and even dying. Nothing stays the same but few can really accept it, and even fewer may do so forever. Can Pixel Wavelength, the pony most accepting of change, do nothing but stand still as the world becomes something unrecognizable? And when that change affects her closest friends and allies, then it becomes all too personal. From a small town foal to a princess, Pixel is helpless to stop it. She just has to live her life the best she can.
