    Story updates! Tons of them this time.  All below the break. 


    Story: Jericho (New Part 14!)


    [Comedy][Adventure][Dark] "Jericho is one of those stories where I can’t go one scene without seeing some gem of characterization, humour, or worldbuilding that makes me want to hold it up to the world and say, 'Yes! This is how it’s done!'" -- Pre-reader Amacita

    Author: Crushric
    Description: If you came to hear a story, I’m sorry to disappoint. I suspect this’ll just end up as one big confession, really. When you’re the first Teutscher to set hoof into Equestria for nearly a millennium, I suppose that’s to be expected. And when you’re the universe’s favorite chew toy, doubly so. Still, with enough wit, some Prussian ingenuity, a droll sense of humor, and wanton murder, I might just survive this. Then again, when you’re going up against an unending list of things like government conspiracies, that guardian angel who keeps telling you to kill ponies, psycho Equestrian girls with allophilia, a lunatic princess, the legions of the Inferno, the Equestrian culture itself, swashbuckling sword fights, and laissez-faire economists, you begin to release why there’s a big “if” in the middle of your life.

    [Slice of Life]

    Author: TheBrianJ
    Description: After the most important night of her career is ruined and its saboteurs not even so much as punished, Octavia's life changes. She begins to pursue a path that has never been seen before in Canterlot, where concertos and rhapsodies give way to controversy and rebellion.

    A path where symphonies are composed not with instruments, but with spray paint.

    Story: Whispers (Update Part 7!)

    [Dark][Adventure]

    Author: Chrono Ryono
    Description: Stressed by the growing rift between herself and her sister, Princess Celestia confides in her brightest student of the era.

    Story: Of High Seas and Howling Winds (Update Part 3!)


    [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.

    Author: Kwakerjak

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.

    [Adventure][Dark]

But all it took was one mistake, and now he and his friends are stuck outside Equestria, in the cruel and unknown Outer World, with the most dangerous crimelord known to ponykind hot on his tail and nothing but his crew and the ship they've stolen to keep them alive.
