Faeries dance at the Nost and everyone is invited—the only price is a random faeshift. Tired of playing to the crowd and keeping up appearances, a young girl joins the party with her friends. But when the body changes and the mind stays, she'll realize some expectations are not as good as she thought.

It's interesting to see someone construct such an AU type of situation and have a story take place in it, all in only 1000 words.
Weird in a good way, imho

Thanks, it took a lot of work to fit it into 1000. There's a lot of ideas about this world that I had to cut out.
imagine Sweetie Belle with fur, that would be so weird!
these do seem to be very important questions actually, but it is also very teenager to do things without fully thinking about the long-term ramifications
i mean, feel like tailplay goes after kissing on the intimacy scale!
oh yeah, turning her into the popular conception of what a “demon” looks like would be… quite a change to get used to!
really impressive, setting up a human AU and telling a story within it in so few words!
All of those instances of real-world places and musical artists, and then you have “ClipClock” like you remembered this was supposed to be pony fanfiction.
Really, that’s the problem. This is a thin veneer of pony over original fiction, with barely any attention paid to base characterization. Even putting that aside, a thousand words isn’t nearly enough to establish and explore the world you’ve created. Certainly not to explore the impact this impulsive decision will have on the rest of Sweetie’s life, nor how society reacts to this wandering faerie ring mutating people around the world. There’s just too much going on here with too little contemplation of it to feel satisfying.

Like Celestia, Rihanna is a universal constant who exists in many different universes.
A bit more seriously, I think it's interesting that the Isle of Avalon may have successfully sneaked in here as a place that sounds familiar enough that it might have seemed real, or 'real' at least.
In our world, that isle is 'merely legendary.'

I do agree that it's hard not to be curious about more than what we see in this 1000 words. I wonder if Swordtune has ideas about the events after this story, or not?

There were many accessory details and events that I could not fit into this story. I had originally meant for it to be longer but decided to write a flash fiction within the world just to include it in the contest. The title is obviously a play on the genre of Magical Realism, and I like the idea of a modern world that is somewhat integrated with mythology and fantasy, enough that fantastical elements are akin to finding a meteorite or seeing the aurora borealis--there are places where it happens more often but it's not fully a part of everyday life.
That said, I haven't found a story that needs to be told through the lens of this world. It's definitely a sandbox I can work within, but I don't know what kind of sand castle I want to build, so to speak.

I think I can't be the only person curious about how Sweetie Belle deals with her changes...or curious about what the story's characters were thinking on their way to the Nost. How did they decide to take this risk? Why did they feel it was a good idea? Stuff like that.
Hey, in case I ever discover I have a bit of time and inspiration for it, do I have your permission to write and fimfic-publish an 'unauthorized sequel/prequel' to this one?
11813873
Sure.

WHEEEEEEEEE!
I mean, thanks!
