The Great and Powerful Trixie performs at a foal's birthday party. She had no choice.

Fifth place finisher of the "Illusion of Choice" writeoff. Reading here by Midnight29.

A rainy night at a bar really brings out stories from within ponies. During a game of poker, Equestria's rogue list, including Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Discord, and Sombra, plus another, the baddies start sharing stories. The similarity; the telling of how they almost won their most famous defeats.

Loosely based on the episode, "Almost Got 'Em" from Batman the Animated Series

Part 1 of the "Clipper!verse"
CHS has become a breeding ground for assholes and rampant hatred in the halls. No one knows this better than Sunset Shimmer, whom, without her friends at her side, is the prime scapegoat for all the slander being thrown around. Tired of being the punching bag for all of CHS's problems, Sunset searches for something, anything that will make her life feel worth it again. She needed to prove her innocence. What she didn't know was where her tired feet would take her.

Now, she finds herself surrounded by a group that may be willing to believe her. With new friendships forming between Sunset and CHS's soccer team, the Wondercolts, will she be able to clear her name? Or will the ever expanding reach of Anon-a-Miss smear it beyond the point of no return?

*Rubs hands together* It's about time that I put my own little spin on the Anon-A-Miss thing. This story spawned in between talks between Uria and I over his own story. It is also heavily inspired by GPizano's stories. Be sure to check them both out if you enjoy this!

"Living here in Ponyville
Fighting villains from afar
You've got to find first gear
In your giant robot car"

When the CMC stumble across a giant mecha from another time, another place, another reality, their latest quest for their Cutie Marks takes on epic proportions. Between getting to class, dealing with an angry alien that's somewhat friendly, dealing with an angry alien that is distinctly less friendly, and anything else the heavens can throw at them, you'd think things were hard enough. But they still have to be home by bedtime.

...at least piloting a giant robot makes it easier to get certain bullies to shut up. Ponies dig giant robots too...when its weapons aren't pointed at them.

Now where - and what - was first gear again?

Creative Consultant: The_Whovian16

Sometimes all a pony wants is a second chance, another chance to redeem themselves or make up for something that they did wrong. To make it right. But the world isn't always willing to give them another chance and instead will hold them to what they did in the past instead of what they do in the present. Sometimes the world won't let go of what you used to be instead of who you are. Sometimes, it see's you as a monster.

Sequel to a Dark Knight for Equestria and sister story to It runs in the Family.

Main Course is a successful chef and restaurant owner. Or he was, anyway, until a fire tore up his life's work and left him adrift. When he visits his sister in the rural backwater town of Ponyville, he discovers an abandoned building that's perfect for a quick fix-up so he can flip it for a profit. But the building comes with an unforeseen tenant, and when he lets her stick around he discovers that maybe, just maybe, there's something out there more important than wealth and fame.

His last memory before being pulled from the physical world were those magnificent green eyes. Caught off guard, Snape had been killed by Voldemort and found by Harry; as he let the boy take his tears, he lost himself in the eyes, the emerald orbs that were exactly like Lily's.

The next thing he knew, he had a new task before him. The afterlife, whatever it held, was denying him, and the only thing he could possibly do about it was help bring another world to balance. Whether his deeds at Hogwarts weren't good enough or if he was simply too good to let go yet, he did not know, nor did he care. His entire world was taken from him and he was thrust into a whole new one.

Severus Snape has come to Equestria, and his actions will bring great peace or great pain to the land, that is the only thing he is sure of.

*I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan by any means, but Snape was definitely the best thing from the entire mythos in my opinion, and I had to write with him a bit. Hopefully my knowledge of the HP universe will suffice.

"Story Contains Spoilers from Superior Spiderman"

Page from Coco's journal:

Things are starting to look up for me. I thought that after my last two assistants betrayed me and tried to steal my designs for the competition that I would have to finish all my work by myself. Thought that I'd never be able to trust another pony in this city. Manehatten is a place of dreams, but it can also be a place of greed. Wish Rarity had told me that.

But now I've found a pony that I can trust...kinda. He can be mean and arrogant, but I can see the kinder side of him that he tries to hide. But why does he try to hide it? Why doesn't he want to be praised for his good deeds. Guess I'll never understand Dr. Otto Octavius.

Otto will be ponified and will still retain the spider powers. I have a reason for this. And yes, this is the SUPERIOR spiderman. Don't give me crap about Parker.

I OWN NOTHING!

In which Scootaloo, her human friends, and their mutant talking dog ride around in a van solving mysteries together.

An idea I can't get out of my head, so I figure why not use it to get back into the swing of writing?
