Spike and Scootaloo seemed to come from different worlds.

Why did Spike feel they had something in common, from long ago?

For "Reunions: A Swapped Roles Contest."

Scootaloo visits Sunset Shimmer, and learns something horrifying about the differences between two worlds.

Written as an entry in the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest, for reasons. ('some effects of computer technology on society')

This story also started as a draft for the Sunset X Villain AU contest, but...life and stuff kind of got in the way of making contest deadline. 'You know how it goes sometimes.'

Sweetie Belle loves cooking SO much, she starts her own restaurant!

(I thank Kovoranu for permission to use this delightful cover image.)

Trixie finally finds an appreciative audience for her mentalist act...in a poultry plant on Earth. But behind the scenes, she discovers a game of life and death where she almost always loses.

For Admiral Biscuit's Not-A-Contest about ponies working on Earth.

A free-standing story. (You don't have to read anything else first.)

Admiral Biscuit seems to have inspired a lot of fimfiction authors, like some kind of muse. Biscuit also authorized this story as an unofficial sequel to "Trixie Kicks a Bigot," in case anyone really cares about such details.

Trying to win a time war, Starlight Glimmer created a thousand alternate histories.

In one of those worlds that could have been, Scootaloo learned to fly.

Content Warning: Brief, indirect E-rated level suicide/self-harm allusion, like some of those cartoons you probably saw as a kid.

People I'd like to thank for kindly volunteering their prereading services to provide feedback on a rather different (and shorter) version of this story: Mr Extra. As usual, I cannot guarantee that I correctly applied their feedback.

"I'm not just ANY reject," Scootaloo whispered angrily. "I'm the BEST reject."

Scootaloo learns the truth about where rainbows come from. She doesn't take it very well.

(Also, we learn how Fluttershy REALLY pays for her animal sanctuary's expenses.)

^{This is an idea that's been tempting me for months. Now with the Rainbow Factory Contest, I have an excuse! I promise, this story is nearly as tasteful as the original premise, if not even more so!}
