    [Comedy] [Crossover]

    Author: Sir Ginger
    Description: More popular than the "Celestia's Homecare" omnibus, better selling than "Fifty-Three More Things to do When Trapped on the Moon", and more controversial than the infamous "Cupcakes", how does the story of this remarkable book differ in a universe full of... pony?

    Story: Whip and Wing (Update Part 10!)

    [Crossover]

    Author: Fernin
    Description: The Medallion of Light and the Medallion of Shadow are some of the most powerful yet obscure artifacts of antiquity. Created by a now-vanished cult of assassins, the two devices together give their bearer the incredible power to walk the worlds with but a single step.

    Nefarious forces are closing in on both artifacts, and very little stands in their way. Heinrich Himmler's agents covet the medallions for the greater glory of the Third Reich. Ahuizotl's simply want their master to get what's coming to him: the world, and everything in it.

    With the fate of all good people and ponies in doubt, one thing's for certain: saving two worlds would be one hell of an adventure. And if adventure has a name, it must be Daring Do… or is that Indiana Jones?
    Whip and Wing

    [Comedy] [Dark] [Adventure]


    Author: Rust
    Description: After a deal gone awry, a human is thrust into Equestria with the body of a Diamond Dog. Eschewing the usual "Hey, I'm going to Ponyville!" shtick, he sets off on an epic around-the-world voyage of discovery, friendship, and adventure, all the time learning what it means to be one of Equestria's more frowned upon species. He struggles to overcome racial prejudices from everyday ponies as he encounters fearsome creatures, the natural wonders of the world, egotistical villains, and a wisecracking draconequus who loves obscure pop-culture references. This would all be so much easier were it not for the fact that he's mute.

    You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone still talking to you. A speed-freak ex-marefriend. A megalomaniac illusionist who's middlemare for the Equestian Intelligence Service. Family too, if you're desperate.
    Bottom line is, as long as you're banished, you're not going anywhere.
