Story: Kickers

[Normal]

Author: ambion

Description: "Sure - everyone knows that Twilight is, well, an egghead, but that's just her way. But not knowing the joy of hoofball? It just ain't natural! With the two most athletic (and competitive) ponies in Ponyville setting up to give Twilight one heck of an introduction, can the ponies keep their eyes on the ball, or will this be a crash course destined for tree sap?

I actually did some research on the amount of money high end fashion designers make, and from what I can tell, Rarity would be rolling in cash after selling that set to Hoity Toity.

No wonder she can give everything away all the time!

Story: Children of the Sun

[Adventure]

Author: Vanner

Description: The Lunar Rebellion sought to bring Nightmare Moon to power over Equestria, and for two long years, a war was fought for that very purpose. In the end, Nightmare Moon was defeated, but Celestia had become broken. She lost her faith in the ponies that once only knew love, and she walled herself inside her castle at Canterlot.

For five years, no pony had seen or heard from the goddess. In her absence, Equestria falls apart at the seams. Endless skirmishes are fought over petty land disputes, love and tolerance are gone from the land, and ponies begin to revel in the art of war. When a dangerous threat emerges from the ashes of the Lunar Rebellion, all hope seems gone from the world. But some ponies aren't willing to let Equestria fall.

Four unlikely ponies step up to correct the mistakes of the past. In their quest to restore Equestria, they will learn that through the magic of friendship, all things are possible.

This story is presented as part of the Pony Fiction Writer's Month for September 2011.

Awesome "Why Do Grown Men Like Ponies" Article

You have all been asked it at least once.  It's something that plagues pretty much every non-pony media resource on the internet.  Why ponies, and why is the internet being taken over by them?  This article does an excellent job of explaining it.  So if someone from the media bugs you, and you are sick and tired of answering the same Celestia damn question in every interview, you can finally just paste a link and be done with it! (Yah...I've answered this at least 20 times now.)
