Did you ever wonder why, in 'Equestria Girls,' there's an entire town of 'humans' who are somehow exactly like their pony counterparts in Equestria?

On the first day of swim class, Vice Principal Luna explains the horrifying truth.

This story MIGHT BE for the NON-CONTESTANT SECTION of the "New Blood Contest."

(I can't enter as a real contestant, because I have more than a hundred fimfic followers, and anyway I'm already too involved in the group running the contest.)

Contest Topic: "A Secret Life"

I really have no idea whether this is an entrant in Bike's A Thousand Words Contest II.

After Duke Clopius secretly murders his new wife to gain uncontested rule over Zephyria, princesses Zipp and Pipp follow their dream! Their dream is about an angry ghost who wants her death avenged.

Also, about learning to fly for real.

Art Credit: You might think the first G5 movie would include at least ONE shot of a pegasus princess wowing the pegasi of Zephyr Heights by (fake) flying with a backdrop of uninterrupted sky, but no. So I screencapped a frame and edited it.

(This story should work on its own, but it's technically kind of a sequel to "My Little 'Fullmetal Alchemist' of Hamlet and Also an Enchanted Library Is in There Somewhere: Queen Haven's Revenge.")

_{Maybe or maybe not an entry in Bike's A Thousand Words Contest II, for very logical reasons.}

Sonata Dusk gets a government job in Equestria.

(Mood: Cheerful fluff)

Loosely inspired by a drawing of Chrysalis waving an EBT "food stamps" card at Cadance, I wrote the first draft of this story last Friday.

This bit of fluff might be an entry in Bicyclette's Polyship Contest, idk? (link)

Cover image: I had a lot of trouble finding art of Sonata dressed as an office worker, so I experimented with purplesmart.ai and edited the results.

When Sunset steals alien Princess Twilight's new nanotechnology invention, some of the consequences surprise everyone.

A lonely girl might even find true love (or maybe not.)

(Also, we learn why Twilight Sparkle was so terrified of having to go back to Magic Kindergarten.)

Mood: science fiction AU with comedy and shipping elements.

Prereaders: LysanderasD, Logarithmicon, Carlos S., Shirlendra. (The prereaders are not responsible for my own mistakes and shortcomings, though.)

This story might or might not be an entry in Science Fiction Contest II (link), at least under the current rules that accept a wide range of AUs with science fictiony stuff.

Every day, all day, Trixie transforms pebbles and bits of rubbish into teacups, and she is happy.

Content Warning: Seriously, this is science fiction AU horror with dystopian elements. But isn't it interesting to see things through a different point of view? (scream emoji) 😱

Let us thank the prereaders: Carlos S., Cloud Ring. (The prereaders are not responsible for my own mistakes and shortcomings, though.)

This story might be an entrant in "Science Fiction Contest II," who knows?

Love is complicated, even if you have several girlfriends to help you figure it all out.

(First "2023 Spring Fling!"
Seriously, it's probably an entry in this contest.)

"Sometimes," Big Mac's wife said, "I really think you love that doll more than you love me."

In a moment of foolishness, not long after Twilight Sparkle first moved to Ponyville, the unicorn cast an enchantment upon an old doll of hers. Later that same day, the unicorn's teacher dispelled the malign glamour. Surely, not even traces of the spell remained.

Or so one likes to think.

When Sunset Shimmer was stranded in the human world, only Sven Gallop noticed she was homeless, and offered to help.

But there was a price to pay. There often is.

For the Sunset x Former Relationships Contest.
