    1. All these stories have merged in my mind to form one huge background for Equestria.
      The next episode is going to seem so damn deep ;)

    2. Thumbs up if TV Tropes got you here and thus introduced you to this site.
      Great story, btw. Could totally imagine this being canon.

    3. I really enjoyed this one. As a bit of a 'gift' I decided to retype this story as a Google doc. I had never used GoogleDocs before and am not sure if I'm doing this right. Here's the document.

      I guess I could add some pictures to it as well.

    7. Excellent story!

      This should be reposted onto the front page, so more people can read it

    8. Bloody epic. Seriously, Hasbro should pay you lot and make this stuff canon.

    9. Does anybody know how I can get in touch with Chopper's Top Hat? I have recorded a reading of this story and would like to enter it in the Celestia Radio Dramatic Fanfic Reading Contest, but I need the author's permission to enter it.

      If anybody would like to listen to it, I am in the process of uploading it into my dropbox space; it's going to be a few more minutes after the time I post this before it shows up, but the URL will be:

    10. I really like this one. This is a really sweet story that does a good job answering that nagging question of why Applejack reacted so poorly to Twilight's magic. Applejack really feels true to character in this story, and I can hear her drawl in my head as she's narrating it. The story makes an odd sort of sense and suggests what may have contributed to some of the harsher landscape around Ponyville. Thanks for sharing!

    11. Hearth's Warmimng Eve reminded me of this. One or two parallels with the episode's explanation here.
