Somber Shades, one of Canterlot's brightest and most prestigious unicorns, has lived a life of fortune and prominence. The pride of Celestia's school for gifted unicorns alongside his best friend, Starswirl the Bright, he is known across Equestria for his brilliance, charisma, and strength of will. But when his studies take him to the mysterious Crystal Empire, tragedy upon tragedy befall Somber's life, and slowly breeds corruption into his heart.

Thus chronicles the rise of the king of shadows.

Alaska Snow and High Life, two ponies from wholly different lifestyles, find themselves stranded on a cliche in the middle of the ocean. Bickering, hilarity, and sea ponies ensue.

(This was my application to the Legends of Equestria writing team, where we were required to write a story of less than 2,000 words with the prompt, "Sea ponies save Alaska.")

In a future where strength of will and desire for knowledge has forced the next stage of evolution, a spacefaring civilization of equestrians come across a beautiful world with dark secrets. Here, Scootaloo will learn the limits of her resolve, her loyalty, and her hope as she learns about the birth of her people, the secret to their evolution, and the sins of a species.

Granny Smith is more than an old coot living with her grandchildren. She's seen the birth of the frontier, the life of Ponyville from it's very beginning. She's seen more love and loss than most ponies can really imagine. She's upheld her family values and traditions for her entire life, and watched as her family grew and prospered.

Yes, it's been a good life, and she sure is going to miss it.

Hey there. My name's Dave; not Dave Twinkles, or Davebubble, or even Donut Dave. It's just Dave. I'm a salespony, and I live in a little town just south of Canterlot called Ponyville. If that name sounds familiar, it's because, even though Ponyville is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, we've got something that no other town in the world has; a six little super heroines. Or, at least that's what they say...

The author would like to formally apologize for the atrocity that is about to be committed. The following literature is an affront to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the My Little Pony franchise, the absurdist comedy genre and the very medium of the written word. It is an insult to artists of any medium or talent, and should not be read by anyone under any discernable circumstances.

A satirical comedy inspired by absurdist comedians everywhere, most notably the Monty Python comedy group.

After a friend from Fluttershy's foalhood comes to visit, the shy mare starts to become even more reclusive, trying new ways to deal with her insecurity and fighting with her troubled past.

Ditzy Doo "Derpy" Hooves is a mare with special needs. She has a steady job as a mailmare, caring friends, and a daughter she loves more than anything. Her life isn't perfect, and she doesn't always understand the world around her, but she manages to stay cheerful and brighten the lives of those around her every day.

A unique look on the fan-character Derpy Hooves, inspired by my favorite novel: Flowers for Algernon.

The revolution has begun. Ponyville lies in burning ruins, and the devious Master Plan now marches on the Celestial throne. Alliances will be forged, secrets will be revealed, and the face of Equestria will change forever...
