I told myself I wouldn't bring it inside. I will never bring it inside. No matter what I do, that box is going to stay stranded out on that porch... else I only hurt myself again.

A thanks to my editor, Future, for being awesome.

Raindrops loves Bread, her great true love. She's going to get married to a bread. Things go well. Why wouldn't things go well?

This is a lipogram. It will contain no 'E', apart from that symbol said prior and what was drawn upon in titling this story. I will not touch that symbol in this writing at all, nor will I allow it to subsist. Thank you.

This story has many background inhibiting individuals with various dispositions and actions. This group consists of Raindrop, a stallion-hog; Milky Way and Thundy, two pals who fight for Raindrop's adoration; Starburst, a kind, familiar stallion; and Cloud and Flitt', two disgusting twin girls.

Now with a continuation! An Additional Story With a Lack of 'E'

What FIMfiction accounts say of it:
"Sometimes I wish I wasn't in the military cause I'm starting to feel that the brony community has some crazy good drugs' -USMCbrony0311
"NarwhalUnicorn...is a good work...guy..." -Twinkletail
"Excellent example entailing excluding E!" -Europa
"I used to hate experimental short fiction, but this story has shown me how amazing it can truly be." -Azusa
"This is f**king cool, good sir. You deserve applause." -Alicornium
"... I don't know how to respond to this. This... This... I... I don't even... How? What?" -Classy Toad

...Okay, this is a discontinuation of my bragging.

Everypony in town knows -of- Derpy, but how many really know her? A story examining the heart and soul of the mother mailmare as a strange revelation forces her to redefine her understanding of friends, family, and what qualifies as normal.

Warning: this story may contain material not of interest to some readers, love and tolerance is advised.

While digging around in White Lightning’s fridge after a day of cloud-clearing, Raindrops finds a bottle marked only ‘sauce’.

The two of them attempt to divine the contents.

This story is one hundred thousand percent Themaskedferret‘s fault.

Raindrops is just your average Ponyville pegasus looking forward to her favourite day of the year- Winter Wrap Up. But what happens when she finds a weird book under the snow on her front doorstep?

You decide!

Raindrops' Wrap Up is a "choosable path adventure" that we'll write together! I'll provide the outcomes- all I need from you is suggestions on each chapter for what to do next. I'll write up a maximum of three suggestions for each one, and we'll see where we go from there!

EDIT: lilspikeywikey over on youtube has embarked on a bold reading of this ridiculous experiment! Click here to go have a listen.

What's going on here?

What's going on here is that this is going to be a 'choosable path adventure'.

What's one of those?

Really? Okay, well, a choosable path adventure is like a regular story, but when you're reading it instead of the main character doing what they want to do, they have to do what YOU want them to do.

Oh cool! So is it finished?

Not yet. And I'll need your help.

Okay, so Pinkie's a demon, alright? And her non-euclidean cookies are-

Hold yer horses, kiddo. I'm doing the writing. All I need from you are decisions about what to do next. When you read a chapter, at the bottom there will be at least one of the following:

1) choices to make, and links to follow if you want to make those choices
2) a request for more possible choices in the comments
3) THE END

If you just want to read the story, follow the link for the choice you want and it'll take you to another chapter in this story. If there's a request for choices, and there's not a choice you like, then please make a comment explaining what you'd like Raindrops to do. If there's a Requests closed for this chapter! under the choices, then that means you were too slow this time and you'll just have to make do with the choices that are available to you. If it's THE END, then hooray! You have completed Raindrops' Wrap Up. Good for you!

You'll write up every suggestion?

Nah. There's a maximum of three choices and I'll usually add them in the order they're asked, but please refrain from "asking" an entire path through the story. Lets get as many ponies in as possible! Also, no Mature requests, please. That 'Teen' rating is non-negotiable. Finally, I get final discretion over which choices I go for. If I didn't go for your choice, please don't take it personally- you'll get other chances to put requests in!

Why Raindrops?

Why not? She's a background pony with no canon personality, so you can feel free to make her whatever kind of mare suits your fancy.

Why the "Random" tag?

Er, this could literally go anywhere. There could be comedic paths, romance, deep interpersonal tragedy, the end of ponykind, dismantling Equestria as a memetic construct created by the inhabitants of a pony gulag in the Lunar republic- what else could I have tagged it as? Also, if we actually include all of those things, I will count myself as having won a small prize.

How big is this going to get?

Let's find out.

Alright, let's get going!

Sweet! Please click Chapter One to start Raindrops' Wrap Up.

Actions have repercussions, and Trixie wants to make sure certain negative ones don't come through.

Takes place between chapters 4 and 5 of Griffin Over The Line, loosely set in RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse.

She was just trying to do her job: sell some tomatoes and get enough bits to meet her deadlines. But after being cheated into selling her tomatoes at a lower price by a certain pink pony, Roma's afternoon does nothing but go downhill.

How can a mare cope when her life is falling apart around her ears?

Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. But mine, the story of my life, is far from interesting. My hobbies, my work, my cutie mark, all are dull. Flowers and poems ruled my life, until I fell in love.

My name is Roseluck, and this is the only story I have worth telling.

Part of RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse's Hearts-and-Hooves Day collab.

Lyra and Bon-Bon love each other. That's obvious to anypony just walking down the street. But today, on the most romantic day in Equestria, something terrible has happened. And if they missed such an important holiday, what else could this possibly mean for them? Is their romance over? Is there any way to salvage what love remains?
