Mayor Mare’s office was full of parchment. Some behind glass cases, some loose sheaves, some bound in books, and a single piece on the desk in front of her, half-full of her loopy handwriting.

I recently upgraded my SSD to one with 500 gigabytes. It's like moving to Dudley's room from the cupboard under the stairs. Scratch that, it's more like moving to the great hall.

I was astonished this wasn't already a group. So now it is. You're welcome, the one person I see viewing these things. Or maybe you're a bot. Anyway, this is where stories with Rainbow Dash being awesome (legitimately awesome, not just "I'm brandishing a rock at you and woah now everything's better," awesome). The story that motivated me to get up and actually make this was Harmony Theory because it's awesome enough to deserve
