Toola Roola's having trouble learning to mouth write. Fortunately, Discord's here to show her that she doesn't know what trouble really is.

This was the only story entered in the 291st Writeoff contest, "Fiendship Problems." So could one say that it's caught forever in a state of quantum superposition since it both didn't really win but didn't really lose either?

Seems appropriate somehow...

The Pony of Shadows, locked up in Limbo again after being so rudely expelled from Stygian a literally unknowable amount of time ago, receives a visitor.

This was the only story entered in the 277th Writeoff contest, "Dancing Shadows," where it inspired the cover artwork created by GroaningGreyAgony. It also occurs to me that the story can serve as a prequel to a story over on my AugieDog account called "Shadow Heart."

The Spirits of Hearth's Warming Past, Presents, and Yet to Come catch up with Sludge in order to show him the true reason for the season. Sludge has no idea what they're talking about.

This story was the one and only entry in the 274th Writeoff Association contest. No one even entered a prompt, so it ended up being "TBD" by default. And since I found myself with some free time during the 24-hour writing period Christmas Eve Eve, I threw together the original version of this story. It's been greatly expanded for its appearance here.

Somepony in a Mare-Do-Well suit has taken to visiting Rarity's bedroom at night. Rarity loves every moment of it, but despite her paramour asking her not to investigate, she just can't help wondering...

I started this story with the intention of entering it in the 263rd Writeoff, "Go Steady in the Dark," back in August of 2023, but that was not to be.

As far as Golden Harvest is concerned, the newlyweds who live next door are fine ponies. But Carrot Top, the mean little voice inside Harvest's head, doesn't see them quite the same way.

Written for the 221st Writeoff competition with the prompt, "The Hugs Went Away Again," the original version of this story took 2nd place. It's been extensively rewritten and expanded since then.

A figment of a young woman's imagination gets some tips from Derpy.

Inspired by the cover art, a mash-up courtesy of Super Trampoline via HiMyNameIsNickel, this story took 2nd place—out of two stories entered—in the 139th WriteOff contest, "Wind and Rain" and appeared in de-Ponyfied form in December of 2020 on the Zooscape website.

Zecora welcomes Celestia and Twilight to tea with mixed feelings. Celestia, after all, was the first pony to ever call Zecora a friend, but she's also one of the few creatures who knows the truth, a truth that Zecora feels certain Celestia wants to share with Twilight...

This was going to be my entry in the 200th Writeoff contest, "Looking Back," but once again, I couldn't get it finished in time. And the cover art is by Andy Price, of course.

The relationship between Celestia and Hydia, the Queen of the Lamias, goes back quite a ways: Hydia was the first of Equestria's enemies that Celestia consigned to Tartarus instead of killing, after all.

But as the centuries roll on, their relationship changes somewhat.

This was going to be my entry in the 193rd Writeoff competition, "How the Mighty Have Fallen," but I didn't get it finished before the deadline. Then along came the My Little Pony Renaissance Contest with its theme of "Change," and, well, here we are!

Discord seems to be getting ready for a wedding. Twilight has some questions.

The original version of this story won 1st place in the 180th Writeoff contest, "Confronting the Inevitable."
