    Author:
    DSNesmith
    Description: Three hundred years after the fall of Princess Luna, Equestria finds itself on the brink of disaster. Political squabbles and personal grudges threaten to tear the country apart in a bloody civil war, and on the southern border of the kingdom a greater threat lurks: the griffons seek to reclaim their ancient homeland.

    As Princess Celestia strives to keep her fragile nation from falling apart, she sends a young pony on a quest to the northern lands that border Equestria in order to gain their allegiance against the griffons. This unlikely messenger is Rye Strudel, the ostracized half-breed son of a guard and a baker. Rye must struggle to overcome his heritage and save Equestria... for if he cannot, there may be no home to come back to.

    Story: The Warm Diary of Twilight Sparkle (Update Part 3!)


    [Sad][Adventure][Dark]  "This is a story that engages the reader in its unique vision. What sets this story apart from similar works is the evocative use of subtlety and a fearlessness with its world-building, and all of this leading up to interesting original characters and a setting that is at once amazing and believable." -Prereader #13

    Author: Gweat and Powaful Twixie
    Description: But who could realistically steal the diary of a princess?

    Twilight froze as a fleeting thought seeded itself in her mind.

    "Were wars fought over you...?" she whispered darkly.

    When Twilight finds an unusual diary belonging to a pony only known as "Stella", she goes on a fantastic journey to save the souls of those written in its pages from a fate worse than death.

    Story: Under A Luminous Sky (Update Sequel!)


    [Dark] "This chilling story strikes a good balance between "placid" and "panic," and the opening chapters set the stage for what's surely going to be one Hell of a ride." -Pre reader with no name!

    Author: Jake The Army Guy
    Description:  Ponyville, the humble village known for its peaceful tranquility, is shaken to its core when a body is discovered in the Everfree Forest. As the townsponies grieve, the strange, pale Special Agent Bentgrass, from Their Majesties' Royal Investigative Service, arrives at the Books and Branches library and drags Twilight into a world she's only read about: lies, corruption, suspicion, and murder.
    Faced with an indifferent police force, and Agent Bentgrass's infuriating methods, Twilight must put the pieces together and catch the killer. But as blood continues to spill and questions pile up, one thing is terrifyingly clear: in the dark of the Everfree, much more is at play than mere murder.

    Story: Lost Legacies (Update Part 6!)


    [Adventure][Slice of Life] "An excellent use of language and storytelling flair wrapped around a narrative brimming with promise - this is a story worth reading." - Pre-reader [derp]

    Author: AkibaWhite
    Description: When Derpy Hooves's failures destroy what little is left of her life, it falls to the Elements of Harmony (and Spike) to get the wall-eyed pony back on track to a happy future. What they didn't count on is that Ponyville's unluckiest mailmare might have a lot more to offer than anypony realized, including a strange pendant that acts as a gateway to the annals of Equestria's Lost History. Contained within are tales from before the time of Celestia and Discord, lessons of friendship and heroism long forgotten, and dark secrets better left unlearned.
