When Twilight was still Ponyville's unicorn librarian, she learned a surprising secret from Rarity.

Twilight surprised Rarity with a secret of her own.

Warning: This story is silly, and contains at least one plot twist (some people don't like those.)

The original image is, of course, bigger, better and cuter. )}

The Equestrian Postal Service used to be MUCH more dangerous.

"Now that we've invented paper," Princess Celestia tried to explain to her sister Luna, "we can send a message to another pony without the necessity to write the message on a THIRD pony, let alone ordering that third pony, upon pain of death, to seek out the recipient and display their flank."

Pegasi have their own ways of saying, "You're awesome and I love you."

"Any regular old unicorn can do magic. That's nothing special." Years ago when they were fillies, that's what Twilight told Trixie.

What if Trixie had listened?

Mild Content Warning? In this story, somepony does briefly verbally suggest the possibility of serious physical injury and spurting blood if a trick goes wrong. But compared to the actual MLP:FiM show about Trixie launching herself from a cannon into a manticore's throat? Maybe it almost isn't violent ENOUGH for a Y-7 rated cartoon.

(As usual, I made the story image myself by editing MLP screencaps.)

If ponies think Anon is some kind of weird animal, and Fluttershy can talk to animals, can animals and Anon talk to each other?

To make the cover image, I heavily edited the MLP IDW comics panel https://derpibooru.org/images/3007495.

Which of the main MLP:FiM characters would be most likely to kill somepony?

Spoiler: All of them.

Someone asked this question in "The Writers' Group," and I thought the question deserves a full answer.

Locked in a room with a vampire, Twilight Sparkle awaits her own death.

"I'm counting off the seconds until you die," the domineering redhead said coldly. "One. Two. Three. Four. Five..."

This story might or might not be an entry in the A Thousand Words Contest. (Who even knows? I don't think I'm all that good at tag targeting, and an author can only have one final entry per category.)
_{(Initial contest announcement with more details is here. It already has at least fifty or sixty entries, so at this point I'm just trying to torment Bicyclette by promoting the contest even more to help make her and her co-judges read more stories than anyone has ever had to read before!

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.
