Story: I Forgot I Was There (Update Part 14!)

[Sad] [Comedy] [Slice of Life]

Author: GaPJaxie

Description: When Twilight receives one of the original journals of Starswirl the Bearded from Princess Luna, she can’t wait to try the spells inside it – but the books magic turns out to be a bit more then Twilight can handle, as her reckless experimentation leads to her accidentally bringing her reflection to life. At first, Twilight decides she quite likes the idea of having a copy around the library. But seeing herself from an outside perspective makes Twilight realize there are some parts of her personality she doesn’t care for, forcing her to confront her issues.

Summer Funimation Screenwriting Competition Winners

PMV: Fire Hive

Chrysalis is seriously the coolest villian ever when looked at head on.  Check out that sinister visage! Amazing.

This is an awesome PMV based around the finale.  For some reason dubstep just works really well with these! I guess that makes sense though, I keep seeing the genre pop up in video game trailers lately.

Check it out after the break!

Crystal Empire Set Slowly Sneaking Into Target

Last night we dropped a spoiler post about the upcoming Crystal Empire, based on the toy found above that was starting to show up on shelves.  It sounds like the entire crystal pony set is already being released at some Target stores. 

This group does include the blind bag collector series, so Gilda, Granny Smith, and molded Cadance will all be available with the wave for those that aren't interested in brushables.  

Someone named Leah took their UPC's down for those of you that want to raid target and have them check their computers.   After the break, you will find each toy with it's matching number.   Not all Target stores have these right now, so your best bet is probably to call in advance. 

Tumblr Spotlight: Raindrops Answers

Today's update

You bet your cutie mark I did, Raindrops.

Ever seen a Raindrops pony running around with a baguette? That joke came from this blog, which has been very long in the running. The artist hails from the other side of the world and recently met up with us at Bronycon! Combining the flat colors of the show and some really cute art into the traditional ask-a-pony format, this is a tumblr you should add to your rotation list.

He just recently hit 5000 followers- let's pad that number!

Discussion: You Are Now Twilight Sparkle's Research Assistant!

Spike grew wings and flew away! At first Twilight Sparkle thought it would be the perfect excuse to do ridiculous amounts of un-interrupted reading, but over time she realized she needed the background noise to keep focused.  After a quick trip over to Canterlot and a discussion with the Celestia, she now has a new exotic pet companion, you!

Outside of the mundane tasks of cleaning up her messes and sending letters via your brand new fire breath ability,  she is giving you the opportunity to help research any pony related topic of your choosing.  With what is essentially a blank check, you have complete royal permission to travel, investigate, and study a single topic of your choosing in Equestria. 

Maybe the everyday lives of phoenixes are your thing? Or perhaps some deeper understanding of Pinkie Pie's immunity to sugar related illness would be a noble persuit for all of pony kind?  It is entirely up to you!

In the comments below, decide on a topic.

Story: Chaos and Laughter

[Random] [Adventure] [Dark]

Author: Charcoal Quill

Description: The unthinkable has happened. A new Draconequus has emerged, apparently intent on plunging Equestria into chaos once more. To make matters worse, Pinkie Pie is nowhere to be found, forcing Twilight and the others to scramble to find a way to defeat this new threat without the Elements of Harmony.

Meanwhile...

After strange dreams, Pinkie Pie awakes and finds herself in the body of a Draconequus. Between strange new powers that she can't control, and, for some reason, an inability to communicate with other ponies, Pinkie finds herself alienated from her friends... but finds help from an unexpected source.
