Starlight is off to visit the frigate that showed up at the Canterlot air docks, to see if she can use it to protect Canterlot from the treat of the Golden Stag. Its antique decrepitude and its inexperienced and fractious crew may make that impossible. Starlight is willing to fight to make that happen, but doesn't realize that may mean literally fighting! I posted the first of five chapters,

Celestia isn't happy with Starlight, and all that Starlight has the strength to defend herself with is with her wits. Or... maybe her friends?[Final chapters!]

Friendship is the emotion that a person feels towards another for their virtues. Your feeling of friendship is part of an exchange of value with the other person. You admire the good qualities in each other. It makes you happy to be with a good friend, because they are so awesome in a certain way. They provide a good example for you of a virtue lived out in a person, and vice versa. Friendship is a mutually-beneficial arrangement. You help make your friends better by giving them advice,

Way Before Dawn Part IV has been published! Since I gave a preview yesterday, I'll reprise it today. Of course you could just go and read it. Our slightly evil heroine has allowed a profound change to occur in her life and it gets to her until she looses it. It is more than she can deal with—without the help of a friend or two. Yes. Starlight Glimmer has friends. At the same time,

The latest post (today 8/10 at 2:13 PM PDT), is the last part of the chapter It Happened on a Warm Autumn Night. It's not an ending but the beginning of a very complex tale of deception, friendship, and romance that happens when one pony finally opens her heart.

Way Before Dawn Part IV will be out today or tomorrow, a bit later than I hoped—so I'll give you both a preview and an explanation. First the preview: It will be subtitled Love, Sex, and Friendship, but not for the reasons you are thinking. Our slightly evil heroine has allowed a profound change to occur in her life and it is more than she can deal with—without the help of a friend

The latest post (today 8/8 at 10:08 PM PDT), 08 — Doctoring, is a small but significant chapter that fills in interesting things new readers may be unfamiliar with, and brings back a kindly character from an earlier novel. Good afternoon Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and English readers in Asia! The next chapter is going to be split in three because it is enormous, and

Writing's been breezy lately, but not much for fanfiction. That's right, Brony_Fife might be self-publishing his crappy original fiction in the near future!

Not to say I'm not gathering materials for another Equestrylvania chapter... Let's just say I recently got into the Saw movies and they're giving me lots of ideas on what I want to do next. Don't worry, it's not gonna be straight-up torture devices... just very elaborate death traps.

If you've read enough of my stories, you understand that my characters speak very intimately and candidly about themselves and those around them.

So the Season 6 finale synopsis, To Where and Back Again, is out...

That sounds familiar...

Oh wait.

I kind of beat Hasbro to it.

Fluttercheer, we apparently read the same periodicals.

Question: Will I finish before the premiere?

"A mostly empty classroom in Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns, showing filly Sunset Shimmer (who has her cutie mark) bullying blank flank Trixie, while filly Starlight Glimmer looks on in disgust at Sunset’s cruelty. A triple what-if alt-origin, for Miss Inferiority Complex (Trixie), Miss Superiority Complex (Sunset), and Miss Messiah Complex (Starlight)."

To celebrate my 4th anniversary of joining this site, I've just published my 100th story! And I need your help deciding what will go into the final chapter! Help me write my 💯th story!

And what is my 💯th story, you ask?

[Unpublished stories cannot be embedded]

Conscience is instinct bred in the house, 
Feeling and Thinking propagate the sin 
By an unnatural breeding in and in. 
I say, Turn it out doors, 
Into the moors. 
I love a life whose plot is simple, 
And does not thicken with every pimple, 
A soul so sound no sickly conscience binds it, 
That makes the universe no worse than 't finds it. 
I love an earnest soul, 
Whose mighty joy and sorrow 
Are not drowned in a bowl, 
And brought to life to-morrow; 
That lives one tragedy,

A learned man came to me once. 
He said, "I know the way, -- come." 
And I was overjoyed at this. 
Together we hastened. 
Soon, too soon, were we 
Where my eyes were useless, 
And I knew not the ways of my feet. 
I clung to the hand of my friend; 
But at last he cried, "I am lost."

by Stephen Crane

My basic opinion of 'Triple Threat' is that it was a pretty good Ember episode shoved inside of a crummy Spike episode.

A sweet little milestone for me to hit! Thank you everyone who likes my work enough to warrant a follow.

Now onto another means of business: where is 'The Broken Bond'? If you're a fan and you've tried looking for it, you might have already noticed it's gone. Rest assured that it isn't.

I really should have written this sooner, but I didn't think any old readers would come back and notice. Sure enough they did, so I'm sorry for the scare everyone!

I like Sunset, but Starlight NEEDS more defense like this.

My father knows the proper way
   The nation should be run;
He tells us children every day
   Just what should now be done.
He knows the way to fix the trusts,
   He has a simple plan;
But if the furnace needs repairs,
   We have to hire a man.

My father, in a day or two
   Could land big thieves in jail;
There's nothing that he cannot do,
   He knows no word like "fail."
"Our confidence" he would restore,
   Of that there is no doubt;
But if there is a chair to mend,
