Story Updates February 8th (Evening)


It's story update time! A bigger one this time around since I missed last night.  Check them all out below. 


Story: Unmarked (Update Part 11!)



[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: Ponies make War (Update Part 15!)

[Adventure][Grimdark] We sure do get a lot of grimdark lately. It's surprising too, most of the pre-readers dislike it!

Author: AestheticB
Description: In a single night, the royal pony sisters are overthrown by an evil they believed they had long since defeated. The new royal family is as cruel as they are powerful, and under their reign ponykind suffers. But how can ponykind rise against the gods themselves?
It is up to the Elements of Harmony, under the leadership of Princess Luna, to restore order. First, however, they must face the most dangerous and terrifying opponent they have ever known: their onetime leader and now bitter rival, Twilight Sparkle. Facing impossible odds, the remaining Elements cannot lose hope, for this war calls for more than soldiers, but friends...

Story: To Fix You (Update Story 2 Part 1!)

[Sad][Dark][Shipping]

Author: BronyNeumo
Description: Sometimes, when you've lost so much, when everything you do seems to come out wrong, and when you don't feel like anything but a failure, it can seem like there is no other option but to give up.

But when one pony feels so lost, so inconsolable, so forlorn, that she makes a life-changing decision that almost leaves her shattered forever, it is up to her friends to bring her back.

When you lose something that you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, and when the tears come streaming down your face, is there anyone who you can turn to...

Story: Fillystata (Update Story 2 Part 14!)


[Grimdark][Shipping] I usually avoid Grimdark like the plague, but due to reasons completely out of my control, I gave it a shot anyway.  I was completely hooked after just two chapters, and the nightly roundup ended up an hour late because of it! This story is just straight up awesome. Anyway have a pre-reader quote too!

"A terrifying suspenseful and gripping tale, portraying the sinister side of magic" - Pre-reader with a WoW name.

Author: Adcoon
Description: During the festivities of the Fabulous Fabled Filly Fair held in the village of Dappleshore, Twilight Sparkle stumbles upon something from her family's past and is drawn to investigate its dark ties to her. Will she succumb to its sinister power, and will Trixie and Luna be able to set their differences aside to help her when her friends are gone?

Can they keep Metropony safe for yet another week? Find out in this exciting episode of...HARPFLANK AND SWEETS.

RavensDagger said...

Yarr.. Why be I talking like this?

CrazyLaughter said...

DAMN, FOILED AGAIN!

I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling bronies!

psmylie said...

A lot of stuff I'm interested in, but nothing I'm actually reading at the moment, because I'm currently tracking several dozen fics that I'm slowly falling further and further behind on. I feel like I'm being buried in ponies.

On the other hand, that's kind of a pleasant sensation, so maybe I'll pick a couple of these to read...

JurisEst said...

@BronyoffI think you mean, 'Yarr, that be a fine gatherin' o' tales, matey!'

Blaze_Fyre said...

To fix you and fillystata, YAY!

Jake said...

I've yet to read the Equestrian Hockey League story, but I can already say that if somebody programmed an actual video game based on it, I would play it for hours. And if Hasbro made it, I would gladly pick up a copy for the Xbox 360.

Riesz said...

Latest chapter of Ponies make War is amazing.

I can really recommend it to everyone who likes a good adventure and character driven plot.

Shellsh0cker said...

Alright! Upheaval, CRISIS, and freakin' Harpflank and Sweets! Today is a good day.

Ned said...

Why so much Dark/Grimdark? Thank goodness for Harpflank and Sweets!

ftfc said...

To fix you.... YAY!!!!!!!

Gray Paint said...

Totally agree with Shellsh0cker, those three~

Arcainum said...

@Ned

I feel kinda bad now, because this is the "it all goes horribly wrong" chapter =p

Don't worry though, the degree to which things can become real is about to be RADICALLY REDEFINED.

endeavour said...

What happened to Allegrezza?? I need it!!!

Bunnay said...

AW YEAH Ponies Mark War!!!!!

MasterLuigi452 said...

Another Crisis update?
Damn that was fast.

Ferroflux said...

Yes! Moar delicious CRISIS. I shall read this before going to bed.

Bronyhub said...

Ugh between all these stories and the new "Know no Fear" book (Dan Abnett) I literally have no free time in the evenings. Not that that's a bad thing when it's filled with ponies and 40K...

Masquerade said...

Krosis...
There goes my evening.

TenchiFreak5 said...

Crap. Now I'm behind on Confessions and he's started up To Fix You again.

Kheytoo said...

Is it odd that my fave type is grimdark? Everyone else seems to hate it.

Sgt. Grub said...

Unmarked 'tis a day late. I am slightly disappoint.

MasterofRoku said...

3 of my favorite stories uodated today! Yay!

psmylie said...

@Kheytoo

Personally, I prefer my pony stories to be happy and/or funny, as life is grimdark enough on its own. But that doesn't mean that I haven't enjoyed grimdark on occasion, I just don't make a steady diet out of it.

To each their own, of course. That's just my preference

Bass Clef said...

TO FIX YOU STORY 2?!?!
OH MY GOD YES!!

SparkCloud said...

Ya know what? There just seems to be to much dark, sad, or grimdark, so I think it's time I change that.... eventually.

space brony said...

Crisis updated? Not reading it, but I heard it's amazing. Awesome to see it still going. I might have to get into it.

Fillystata. Wow, that was one of the first fics I ever read. I think the second. It wasn't quite for me, but I still read it all the way through, and I found it incredibly interesting. Seeing it update now is like seeing an old friend again. Maybe I should catch up with it.

YorkBrony said...

So much grimdark, why???

Whitespace Only said...

Let's see... Grimdark, Dark, Grimdark, Dark, Grimdark. Huh. From unlikely speculative ship fiction this morning to torturing our poor ponies in the evening, has this fandom no shame?

Oh wait, what's this? Lurking at the bottom... is that... it is! Harpflank and Sweets! All is not lost!

Incidentally, I'd love to see more stuff exploring the combination of pony magic and modern technology. There's so much untapped potential there.

Arcainum said...

@Whitespace Only

YES. Magitech is such a huge idea. Even the mundane has so much potential. And pony magic is good for it because it has a buttload of implied limitations, leaving lots of holes to fill in with technology. I admit there's a buttload of Harpflank and Sweets backstory that no one will ever see, just about how the world works x)

Adam Crocker said...

@TenchiFreak5

If it helps I'm even further behind.

Oh well, more AppleDash to read in those dark nights when law school has driven me to psychotic sleeplessness. (Or after exams when my brain is jello.)

vsbloom said...

CRISIS: Equestria?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Specter Von Baren said...

Anyone else notice a sharp decline in the amount of stories EqD is posting lately? We barely get any new stories anymore.

Kayriel said...

PONIES MAKE WAR AND FILLYSTATA. BALLAD EARLIER TODAY AFTER LIKE THREE MONTHS. IT IS A GOOD DAY.
