  • Story: Friends of a Solar Empire (Update Part 2+3+Worldbuilding)


    [Crossover][Grimdark][Sci-fi][Adventure]

    Author: Dalek Ix
    Description: For little less than one thousand years, the species of Equestria had been a part of the Trade Order, sharing the millenium of peace of prosperity the humans had enjoyed.

    Now, with the arrival of alien invaders and the return of ancient evils, that peace was been shattered. A people unused to war had to rediscover its ways and fight for their home. The Trader Emergency Coalition was born from this need.

    Ten years have passed, and the sitation has improved to the point High Command has authorized a rotation of the forces, sending the weary first generation back to their homes, to rest and recover.

    Meanwhile, a lavander unicorn mare who has never been on a planet is travelling to Equestria on behalf of her teacher...

  • December Draw Off Final Week!


    Greetings everyone! Calpain here with the final compilation for the December Draw-Off and boy is it a beast. I was absolutely floored with messages and pony artwork this week as the days ticked by and I was simply amazed at some of the projects I will be sharing with you this week! In total I received 435 entries this week making for 856 entries over the past month.

    For those interested in viewing past compilations you can find them here:
    Week 1 Compilation
    Week 2 Compilation
    Week 3 Compilation
    E-mail Contest Questions to:
    calpaina@gmail.com

    As before, a note before we begin, since I receive so many entries occasionally an entry may slip through that does not belong to the submitter. If any submitted picture to your knowledge has been stolen please contact me with proof and I will take care of the situation. Also if you have submitted an entry and it has not appeared in one of the compilations please contact me so I make sure your entry is properly entered into the contest and compilation.  
    The above is especially important this week as judging can now begin now that this compilation is up! 

    Check out all the pony after the break!

  • Story Submission Guidelines


    Thank you for considering Equestria Daily as the future home of your hard work. We’re honored that you want to showcase your story with us. In order to maximize your chances of getting published here, take the following rules to heart (really, they’re not as horrid as you’d think!):

    1) Edit your submission before sending it in.

    Please do not rely on the pre-readers for editing services or in-depth feedback. As we are uncompensated volunteers, we simply do not have the time or capacity to help every author improve their work.

    2) Ensure your story meets our length requirements.

    • We do not accept short story collections. If the short story is over the word limit, submit it as a standalone.
    • — Multi-parters: 3,000+ words overall at submission time.
    • — One-shots (complete, one-part stories): 2,500+ words.
    • — Sequels get an autopost under the original fic but they don't get a solo post.
    3) We will not accept the following:
    • — X-rated content, including sexually transgressive or gory stories
    • — Incest, foalshipping beyond a schoolyard crush, and other broad cultural taboos
    • — Humanized/anthro stories
    • — Avoid people from the fandom, famous or otherwise.
    • — Copy-paste stories (e.g. The text of Harry Potter with character names swapped out)
    • — Stories written in a language other than English
    • — No stories involving bronies.  -Human in Equestria on the other hand is alright.  
    • — No compilations of short stories.
    • — We do not accept stories involving real people (from the fandom or otherwise).
    • — Script format

    4) We have a three-strike rule.

    3 Strikes NO LONGER EXISTS
    Strikes are no longer mandatory with rejections. They will be given on a case-by-case basis if we feel you haven't been making sufficient progress between submissions. Pay attention to your rejection e-mail so you know whether or not you received a strike, and mark the appropriate box when you resubmit. All strikes prior to [date we instituted the new system] have been forgiven, but stories rejected for content issues should not be resubmitted.

    5) Take a look at our Editor’s Omnibus.

    The first four points above are non-negotiable; we just highly recommend this last one. The Omnibus is a continuously updated guide that covers the common pitfalls and oversights of many novice authors, and even some more experienced writers might find some use from it. Give it a once-over and see if its words might help yours before you send us that email.

    6) Rejection based on other reasons

    Due to the ever-changing nature of fanfiction and the fandom as a whole, the pre-readers can and do reject things based on necessity.  Overpopulated crossovers, tropes that have been done way too many times.  EQD is primarily here to spotlight the best and most original stuff, we are not specifically a fanfiction website. 

    7) If you submit a fanfic, make sure we can see it! 

    Google Docs and Fimfiction both allow you to "lock" a page.  Be sure it is unlocked! Google Docs is locked by default. You can unlock them via the share settings (small chain symbol at the top).

    Does your fic meet all the requirements? Now go submit it!
  • Story: Lazy Eye



    [Sad][Shipping] Derpydash? I guess! (Ignore the star rating above, use the tag) 

    Author: Azure Spark
    Description: Inspired by the song of the same name by the Silversun Pickups.

    All she needs is a shoulder to cry on. A friend, to listen, to understand, to comfort her.
    And that's what Derpy's getting, right?
    Or is it?
    Is it enough to act like a friend?

    This is the true test of a good friend. Can Derpy do what she knows is right? Or will she succumb to her torn emotions?

    What is the right thing to do?
