    Story: What is a Name? (New Part 8!)



    [Sad] [Slice of Life]

    Author: Key Tapper
    Description: I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

    Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

    Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

    My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

    Story: Of High Seas and Howling Winds (Update Part 2!)


    [Adventure] "Alternate universe Equestria with pirates? I heartily endorse this product and/or service." -Pre-reader who likes sky pirates

    Author: InsertCoolUsernameHere
    Description: Twilight Sparkle has hit a wall in her studies. So when she is tasked by Princess Celestia with joining an expedition on a faraway island, she can't help but see it as a form of punishment. Nevertheless, she packs her bags and heads to Baltimare, one of Equestria's many port cities. It should have been simple: find a ship offering passage and pay them to take her to Haven. She soon learns, though, that ponies are afraid of the unknown waters past Eternity's Crossing. Despite her best efforts, she is unable to find a ship willing to take her there. That is, until she meets Captain Rainbow Dash.

    Brash and enigmatic, Rainbow Dash, along with her crew, are the only ones willing to ferry Twilight on the waters of the Forgotten Sea. She expects six months of quiet travel that will allow her to continue her studies. What she gets is an adventure that flips her view of Equestria on its head, and the realization that the line between right and wrong is never as clear as it seems.

This city has poisoned his existence, destroyed who he his, mutilated his body and soul and left him only shell of who he could've been. And so he leaves it behind by rising above it, taking up the dangerous job of runner and transporting documents from rooftop to rooftop, away from the prying eyes of the provisional government. But when his sister is framed for a crime that would make her the most wanted criminal in all of Canterlot, he must prove his sister's innocence while protecting the ones he loves and the lifestyle he has grown accustomed to.

    Story: The Mare With No Name (New Part 4!)


    [Adventure]

    Author: GC13
    Description: The first few towns the Mare comes to might think her to be a curious,
    quiet sort. That's alright though: the Sisters have only just defeated
    Discord, and enough ponies bear scars caused by the tyrant for everypony to
    know when a mare just wants to keep to herself.

    The defeat of the King of Chaos isn't the end, however. Great beasts now
    roam Equestria, preying on its inhabitants. On her quest, to
    Sisters-know-where, the Mare will defeat the monsters, and finally bring
    peace to the nation.

    Description: In an effort to keep her mind occupied, Twilight Sparkle decides to delve once again into the grand mysteries of Pinkie Pie. This time, Twilight's focus is on her claims of growing up on a rock farm: like so many things related to Pinkie Pie, the idea that somepony could grow rocks as an agricultural product makes absolutely no sense. However, the investigation eventually leads Twilight to a rather... surprising discovery.
