Story: The Final Quest of Star Swirl the Bearded (Update Complete!)
[Adventure]
Author: John Perry
Description: Today he is known as the most important conjurer of the pre-classical era, the inventor of many a useful spell and the mentor to one of the most important figures in history. But for all his magical and scholarly achievements, there is another side to Star Swirl the Bearded, a political ideology that many of his contemporaries sought to bury and forget. This is the tale of the last journey of one of ponykind’s most unusual figures and the role he played in the events that led to the founding of a nation.

Military Bronies invade the Military Times
 |
| Apparently this image comes from EQD! |
Over on the Military Times, a new article has popped up about pony enthusiasts in uniform, and surprisingly enough it stays neutral to positive. I can't imagine it's easy to Friendship is Magic in an environment like that, but they are making it work! Check the article out here!
MLP Cast/Crew interviewed on MTV
For those of you (like myself) who weren't able to make San Diego Comic Con this year, there have been plenty of interviews, news reports, and EqD posts to show how much of a presence Pony had. This interview with MTV is no exception. As you would expect, it's a really fun interview that puts pony and bronies in a positive light.
Video embed and link after the break!
Comic: Flutter Quest / Cheering Up My Friends / We Are...
The first comic brings up a good point, what was Fluttershy doing when the others went to make sure Spike would be ok? Whatever it was I think I can live with this particular interpretation.
Even more comics coming your way! Click for full as always.

Ponies Invade Tahiti
You look a little stressed. Sit back, relax, and enjoy ponies in Tahiti. Suddenly I want to go on a vacation to somewhere other than a convention.
Story: Eternal Lament
[Dark] "This story is like watching a blind and deaf person wander onto a train track with an oncoming train moments away; the looming tragedy is plain to see, yet it's impossible to tear your eyes away. A haunting tale through and through." -Pre-reader who likes sky pirates
Author: Bronius Maximus
Description: I can't remember how long I've been alive. I can't remember my birthday. I don't even know my own name. I'd like to think I had a family...but I'm not sure. All these things are meant to be important to me, things I was never supposed to forget, and yet, I have. I have taken shelter in an old castle, in a forgotten city. I do not know why I'm writing this. I suppose just to keep myself sane, but perhaps keeping a record of my activities will help me piece together what happened to the world.

Ponies Around the World Submission Post - Day 1
Ponies Around the World has come to a close! We got a whole pile of entries, so it will be a two post thing.
It's really amazing how spread out we are. I think every single major monument, and hundreds of small ones were hit at least once each. We have everything from the Coliseum, to the Great Wall of China.
Suddenly I really want to travel...
Anyway, check the first half out after the break! I'll toss part two up with the rest of them tomorrow once we finish processing them all.
(Note: The people that did not include a source link may see a bug if you click your name. It's something we are working on for the next competition, along with less random spaces! )
Comic: From the Sky / Run CMC - Trot This Way / Good Intentions
It's not too often we get a comic like the one above! An animated Pony/Portal crossover comic, From the Sky is off to a great start I must say and I eagerly look forward to more.
More comics as usual everyone, click for full!
Story: The Six Deeds of Harmony (Update Part 4!)
[Sad] [Adventure] [Dark]
Author: Defoloce
Description: A lovestruck knight in Equestria's early days, unconvinced of his own worthiness, decides that he must prove himself to the mare he loves. With Princess Cadence as his guide, he is put on a quest by the Crown to go forth and right wrongs and ease sorrows associated with latent Chaos, all while learning of the Elements of Harmony from the ponies' companion races.The Six Deeds of Harmony (New Part 5!)
The entire piece is written in iambic pentameter, with the exception of Luna's pronouncement of the quest in the first chapter, which is an English sonnet.

Calgary Pony Costumes Updated
Last year at Calgary Stampede, they had a live action pony show for all the kiddies out there. Obviously this isn't something that many of us would find enticing, but I know if I was 7 I'd get a kick out of it.
Up above you can see the update costumes they have for this year's event, as well as a schedule on their main website. It looks like these guys are traveling all over Canada. They even opened up a Youtube page with a few videos of the ponies.
Thanks to Whatshisgame for all these crazy links as always!
