This was something I wrote as the author and co-writer in Fanfiction.net almost a decade ago. The time line is after season 4 and the 1st EqG movie.

An IT manager with an embarrassing secret personal pastime (fanfic author) gets an unexpected video conference call from Equestria, and a strange request that he cannot refuse because:
1 - Twilight is asking, and
2 - Pinkie Pie won’t let him.

In the distant future, a probe arrives in the skies above Equestria after a journey of five thousand years.

Once discovered, a mare's voice tells of a lost colony on the edge of the galaxy, and begs for rescue before issuing these last words: "I am sorry... I hope this was enough..."

Submitted for the Science Fiction Contest #3, 2024.

A post-apocalyptic story about a human reincarnated in the world of Equestria Girls, who stubbornly stays on an island, as robot ponies try to convince him to emigrate to a digital Equestria of ponies.

Inspired by the events in Friendship is Optimal, but with a different group of people who were responsible for CelestAI's creation.

The Death tag is for an apocalypse, brief descriptions of humans dying before being reincarnated in Equestria Girls, themes of death, and mentioned deaths that happen off screen.

This story is a submission for Science Fiction Contest iii (2024) and the tropical post-apocalyptic story contest

For a fee, you can rent a pony.

You can be a pony.

But you can never stay a pony.

I originally did a quick sprint for a for funsies contest on beans writing group. Bean's Writing Group - Fimfiction

I haven't written in... a while, and I wanted to see if I could stretch a bit to get it done.

What is actually about?!

Well the original prompt was literally just "Ponies watching stars" and I've always leaned towards a bit more cosmic horror when it came to stars.

Due to recent personal items I've also been a bit out of sorts with regards to my own internal philosophy and as I was writing this I felt that it ended up capturing that kind of feeling very well.

He was just a man, who lost everything, but in the cold hug of death, a second chance is given to him and now he will make sure to enjoy it, while evading isekai tropes.

"A troubled young man commits suicide and wakes up as a pony in a world of friendship, magic, and technicolor equines. He encounters a lavender alicorn who has been tasked alongside her friends with solving his “friendship problem”. Unfortunately, he sees no hope for himself in the fragile affairs of deep interpersonal relationships and wants nothing more than to live a better life in his new world, one without the “magic of friendship”. However, his incompatibility with a world founded on friendship means that he must rely on others, and, in doing so, he will learn what it means to have true friendship."

This is my first time posting on here (and my first non-short story/fanfiction). Hope you enjoy!
