It Takes a Village




Story: Unmarked (Update Part 5!)



[Adventure]

Author: Croswynd
Description: A cutie mark is what defines a pony. It is who they are, even moreso than the names they are given. Yet, Novell has grown to adulthood without his mark, a pegasus pony with no idea where he fits in Equestria. It's not until a chance meeting with a particular Professor that he finds his opportunity to discover where he belongs. But unbeknownst to anypony, an evil long since defeated by none other than Discord is scheming from the shadows, planning to wreak havoc upon the world once more.
Unmarked

 

Story: My Little Enterprise (Update Part 8!)



[Grimdark][Sci-Fi][Crossover] "As a longtime Trekkie, I really, REALLY liked this one.  It's remarkably dead on and feels both like 'MLP in the far future' and 'standard Trek episode'... specifically, it feels somewhere between TNG and Voyager.  As a result, it's AWESOME!"- Pre Reader #10

Author: VozDeSuenos
Description: Years after the mane six defeated Luna with the Elements of Harmony, a new evil invaded Equestria. The ponies only hope lay in the Elements of Harmony, the princesses, and the Doctor. Unfortunately, a terrible catastrophe befell the planet. With technology inspired by the TARDIS, ponies fled to the stars. In time, a crew aboard the Alicorn finds itself far away from home, trying to survive in a new sector of space and wondering what has happened to Equestria.
My Little Enterprise




Story: Tales of Harmony (Update Part 4!)


[Adventure][Crossover]

Author: Starwind Dood
Description: Fan-fiction that will show you the harmony found in our hearts!

The fate of Equestria will be decided not by the madness of battle, but by the harmony between each other...

Twilight, a student from Canterlot, and her dragon companion, Spike, find themselves caught in a mission to find the elements of harmony to stop the the crazed mare, Nightmare Moon. Equestria is not a land of love and tolerance, but a land that has been ravaged by racial conflict, sudden earthquakes, and the shadows within a pony's heart. Only with friends can Twilight find the strength to stop Nightmare Moon.

To save Equestria, Twilight will have to prevail against power-hungry ponies and those who would wish to stop the gathering of the elements of harmony. Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, and Magic. Are these strong enough to fight the wicked?

Mine

Masquerade said...

I just SQUEE'd three times.
Looks like I won't be getting any work done today.

Bombedrumbum said...

Is it wrong to be suprised that it was posted by "Sethisto"?

Bombedrumbum said...

I'll have to read these after I get back from my cousin's wedding. Until then.....


Yay, stories, wohoo, yay, go stories, you rock, woo.....

Masquerade said...

@Bombedrumbum
Yes. Being the Great and Powerful EqD King Moderator that he is, it shouldn't be surprising at all.

Damnit! I'm still stalking comments when I could be reading!

Bear said...

I just got finished reading the latest ITAV; it was good, but not completely satisifying imo. Only one more chapter left. :(

ftfc said...

I still need to read Tales of Harmony. "Tales of" games are awesome!

Travis Smith said...

I'm caitious of ITAV, ive heard a good bit about it but the shipping tag has me on the balance. Is a Spike thing or is Mane 6? Just wondering

Select Few said...

@Travis Smith Same here. I kinda want to read it, but at the same time I'm afraid it'll have way too much shipping in it.

Jimperator said...

@Travis Smith

The shipping tag might as well not be there. Romance in the fic is very peripheral.

The story is mostly Spike's though. However the mane 6 all pitch in to help him out and of course feature prominently.

As someone who's been reading it I I recommend giving it a go. It's a good fic.

>See "Cheer On"
>Instantly say "YESSSSS" to myself

Holy crap. I haven't done that since Sound of Sunlight was updating

Harwick said...

@Travis Smith

The shipping tag is heavily misleading. It's not a shipping story at all. There's a very minor subplot of growing attraction between two cast members, there's some dealing with Spike's crush on Rarity, and I suppose there's the possibility of more in these final two chapters, but even then anything I'd label as "shipping" would be well under 10% of the total story.

I'm guessing the tag was thrown on there just to be safe.

"Story Updates December 30 (Evening)"

"Posted by Sethisto at 1:52 PM"

Seth...?

Tyranoman said...

In response to all those concerned about the shipping its only a very small part of the story, there's only tiny Fluttershy x Big Mac parts and some moments with Spike and another character (no spoilers) in the later chapters.

All in all its mostly in the background so if your on the fence about reading it I would definitely suggest giving it a go, It's a great story.

Spitfired said...

@Travis Smith

The only "shipping" element so far (and we're near the end) is almost irrelevant to the storyline. It's a subplot that's not even really focussed on for more than a couple lines at a time, and if I remember, doesn't even show up for the first few chapters.

Travis Smith said...

Thank you everyone that responded
I'll give it a read an see where it leads me

Bear said...

Is Unmarked good?

Sanguine said...

By now, I'm starting to think they just don't update my old grimdark stories. *pout*

White Ink said...

@Bombedrumbum At the rate the names on this site are going, no.

Alexaroth said...

IT TAKES A VILLAGE ! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Ok, where the heck is the Order-naries update? I sent that in a couple weeks ago...

ramoberley said...

It takes a village! I am happy!

Sgt. Grub said...

@Bear

Yes. The narative's great and is well written.

cardshark78 said...

I already follow Cheer On via FimFiction. It is a great fic.

Maquabra said...

God... I'm so tempted to read the crossover with Star Trek, THE series of my childhood, but I'm afraid that I'll ruin to myself both MLP and Star Trek. Twilight as a mixture of Jean-Luc and Kathie - she's so perfect for that! Did I mention that I hate crossovers, including Fallout: Equestria and Silent Ponyville - things worse even than clopfics?

DPV111 said...

@Maquabra

It's not like that. It's MLP in direct crossover with the human universes of Star Trek and Dr. Who and "our" Earth all combined. Twilight isn't the star either.

Matthias555 said...

It takes a village! YAY!!!

kirbuu said...

@Masqueradehah is that your pinkie sense there? squee 3x = no work done today

ibneko said...

Yay for It Takes a Village! And yes, there's not much shipping. (Or if there was, I don't remember anymore.)

Trixie's bit in this most recent chapter was touching~

DPV111 said...

@ibneko

The only shipping is EXTREMELY MINOR FlutterMac and Spike x OC Dargon.

GodBlogger247 said...

TalesofHArmonyUpdatedYESYESYES!

Kayriel said...

Okay, see, now this just annoys me. You prissy-hoofs who refuse to read an amazingly well-done story just because of shipping or grimdark or anything that's just not normally your cup of tea.

And then you sit around come story update and whine that there's nothing interesting there for you, as you blow off many hours of hard work and creativity on the part of all those wonderful, gifted authors you just blew off.

Find your balls and GIVE IT A SHOT. I mean seriously, to all of you who are like this. Just take a day or two to dive headfirst into the fanfiction express. Read the first chapter of -everything- you normally don't like.

You'll surprise yourselves, like many others like you who've come before. "Normally I hate , but this was a great story!" I promise you'll have an enjoyable time, as long as you just try.

Androidred0100 said...

Ponies X Star Trek!?!?! I know with parasprites and Discord I really shouldn't be surprised but still, COME ON!

At least now I know what I'm doing with my night lol

El_Darax said...

Surprised to see tales of Harmony.

Something to finally read after such a long drought.

And to the whole "not reading gripe"...I avoid anything that has references to or about Doctor Who in it like the plague......and to make it worse it seems that the story is wrapped around the most overrated of the star trek epics IMO.

(yes I think "next gen" was super overrated...especially compared to Deep space 9)

choppasmith said...

All right! My Little Enterprise!

Seriously amazing fic, for those curious about it. Really REALLY fun crossover!
