"Really! This time she means it! 🤣"

Probably an entry in the Sunset X Villain “Tying the knot” competition (February 2nd 2024 to March 2nd 2024)

It's scientifically proven that Sunday nights during a week when SOME PEOPLE are flooding the box with at least one Anon story every day are the worst time to submit a story to fimfic and try to get it featured, but...(shrug)...spontaneous fimfic-ing is fun!

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.'

Sunset Shimmer never defeated a powerful alicorn to conquer the world and become a princess. She's just a student at Canterlot High School.

But sometimes, she has unpleasant dreams she can't explain.

This story might be an entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Sunset Shimmer / Persistence. ('Harmony' and 'Strength' would also be possibilities.)

Prereaders: Punished Bean, sirenc0re. As usual, responsibility for the story's faults remains my own, as do my limitations and shortcomings in trying to apply the prereaders' feedback and advice.

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.)

What if anypony could become an alicorn...whether they really wanted to or not?

What if they couldn't make the changes stop?

This story features Sunset Shimmer x Starlight Glimmer (shipping contest!), but not in the usual way.

^{Thanks for suggesting Caneighdian placenames when they didn't know why I was asking should go to...oh, a lot of people, but I guess I don't even get to name some of them.}

As the only living person on Earth after a robot apocalypse, Sunset Shimmer really needs a hug.

But when Sunset finds a fellow survivor, will trust become a fatal mistake?

For prereading I thank Shilic (on fimfiction), and Roxylalolcat (on fimfiction, on offprint) and someone who prefers not to be named.

Where Did This Idea Come From?

The trouble with Sunset's 'Flanksy' graffiti art is, vandalism doesn't belong to the artist.

So Twilight comes up with a scheme to sell things you don't own and don't have. It uses computers and the interneight!
