Description: When Trixie returns to Ponyville for her revenge on Twilight, things take a horrible turn.

Music: Fluttershy / Dislogic / Sophisticated Hoodrats

This time around, we have two trance mixes, and one song I have no clue how to categorize. It's labeled as "Experimental hip hop", so I guess that could be the reason why!

1.) Fluttershy (jex Trance Mix)
2.) NoizyBrony - Dislogic ('Ode to Discord' Mix)
3.) Sophisticated Hoodrats

Story: Composure (Update Chapter 6!)

[Normal][Shipping]

Honestly she really does look pretty bald.

And some Diamond Tiara below, because for being the popular rich pony, she sure doesn't get much representation round here!

Phoe's Very First Unboxing Post

Occasionally, we blogponies are gifted with free stuff. Arm bands, shot glasses, et cetera and so forth. Days when I get a package are always awesome and put a smile on my face from the moment I open my mailbox. But, it has always been my great regret that I have never had a camera to share these generous gifts with. And when this latest box came in the mail, that was still true. So I don't have a shot of the box with my name on it. And I don't have a shot of the black 'Dungeons and Dragons' bag that was inside. Or the soft paper wrapping that was inside that. But after that I got to go shopping, and while I was out I picked up a new phone.

So, would you like to know what was gifted to me by a young author calling himself PK? Then you will have to check below this page break. (I'll give you a hint: it is one of the greatest things ever)

Comic: Equestria Origins

Ms. Faust defenitly has the best alicorn.  Is this an OC pony though?  She WAS the creator after all, it would make sense that her official character would be canon. 

Another comic by the ever talented Madmax. 

Derpy Hooves and Doctor Whooves Fan Anamatic

For those Doctor Whooves fans out there, a new fan animatic has popped up detailing his arrival and meeting of Derpy Hooves (Voiced by BaldDumboRat as usual).  Check it out after the break, along with some bonus lines from everyone's favorite mailmare.

Game: Ponywings - Scootaloo on Rollerblades

Woah! A pony game that is actually complete for once! That's such a Rarity.

Someone over on Reddit has created a game called "Pony Wings", with full mobile support built right into the page using HTML 5.  So what are you waiting for? Go play it! Post your scores in the comments section.

Derpy is best harbinger 

Also about that Trixie yesterday... That totally wasn't intentional.   Arnold Schwarzenegger lies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks About Pony Art

Once again, the Governator of California would like to have a few words with the brony fandom as a whole.  This one delves into art memes, and some of the more seedy aspects of the fandom.  Those of weak will need not watch.  For everyone else, enjoy a nostalgia bomb of socks, maid outfits, and sweaters. (Time in the pony fandom goes faster.  It has been proven by science. So yes, these are nostalgia already).

Story: Friendship is Epic (Updated Part 5!)

[Normal] Some more Twilight and Dr. Whoof time traveling shenanigans.  

Author: Noir deSilhouette

Description: Compiled from the chat logs of a brainstorm in a google-docs chatroom.  Twilight's life is interrupted by the town's resident mad genius, Doctor Whooves, and everything is turned upside down when he and Derpy take her on an amazing trip to the future of Ponyville!  As the story continues, I will continue to add the brainstorms of people who respond in comments on Deviant Art or Equestria Daily, building the story as a community!

Story: Nightmares Don't Last Forever

[Shipping][Comedy]

Author: BB

Description: The Elements of Harmony are defeated and Nightmare Moon stands on Equestria's throne as their new Queen. Is Equestria doomed to suffer through night time eternal or will they be... perfectly fine? Twilight finds her new job as slave or "personal assistant" to her new ruler to be a bit maddening. But is this evil sarcastic queen really as bad as she originally believed? And just how many others are diabolical enough to cash in on the change in staff? Can Nightmare truly run a peaceful Equestria? Only one way to find out.

Story: Storms On the Horizon (Update Part 17!)

[Adventure]

Author: Eeveexpert

Description: Reports of strange, almost sentient storms have been trickling into Canterlot from all over Equestria during the past month, and Princess Celestia has noticed an uncanny similarity between each of these reports. Every time one of these storms appears, it is clear that these storms are hunting for something.

Despite the obvious connections between each of these occurrences, it is unclear as to what it is that the storms in question are searching for. Unclear, that is, until tragedy befalls one of the Elements of Harmony. The remaining five ponies must hurry to uncover the answers to some very fundamental questions, all the while fighting to protect the remaining Elements.

However, in order to do so, they will have to dig down to the age-old fundamentals of good and evil, learning things about themselves that might have been better off left unlearned...

~Not every cloud has a silver lining, but everything good has something evil to go along with it.~

The Brony Show Episode 21

Episode 21 is on it's way! Check the copy paste below:

"The Brony Show 21 Part 1 and Part 2

That's right, this week you get not one, but two The Brony Show's this week! The first one will be this Sunday Oct. 2nd at 6PM PST - 9PM EST and the second one is on Monday, also at 6PM PST - 9PM EST. For part 1 we're interviewing the incredible team of Pen Stroke and Batty Gloom, who wrote Past Sins and created Nyx. Even I can't wait to see what he has to say! Also we have lots of fun videos, and we'll be doing commentary on MLP episode 19 since Season 2 is on a break. And for Part 2 we're going to let Hypermark, D-Pad, and FoxTrot go wild. I've seen some of what they have planned and I definitely wish I could be around. I hope you join us for both, because there's more than enough pony to satisfy even the craziest appetite!"

National Pony Writing Month Ending Message

For all you crazy authors out there writing obscene amount of pony, Siraj has yet another message, check it out below!

I was checking the comments for NaPoWriMo and it seems that several writers are worried because I'm not replying to their sent e-mails.  Could you make a fast post in regard to that with the following copypasta?

     Hello all NaPoWriMo participants! Siraj/Noble Cause here.  In looking over the comments for the final pep talk, I wanted to reassure you that yes, I am recieving your e-mails with your work linked in it, along with your word counts.  I noticed that there's concerns that I'm not replying back, and I wanted to give the heads-up that I won't be.  Why? I'm too busy going completely insane over here trying to compile everything for the round-up I'm planning on throwing out on the 7th of just how much everypony did.  Not to worry, I'm only going to post up names and word counts, along with the title of the fic.

     In the meantime, as per NaNo 'regulations', you're welcome to edit and submit your work as you like, at this point.  I'm still waiting for my e-mail to keel over from the flood, but so far, so good.

     - Siraj/Noble Cause, boggling at the sheer amount of awesome word smithing.
