• GIANT Story Updates - November 28th



    I apologize for these posts seeming to disappear! Whatever weird brain process keeps everything in EQD in line somehow completely dropped the ball, and I forgot about these posts for a few days. Blame... hype for Starlight Glimmer maybe?

    Anyway, get some story updates! Or lots.


    Story: Memoirs of a Magic Earth Pony (Update Part 16!)

    Author: The Lunar Samurai

    Description: My name is Starswirl and I am an earth pony. This is a collection of stories about my life. As I reflect on the events that have brought me to this home by the sea, I can only hope for one thing; that my life be viewed as ordinary and plain, but my work in theoretical magic be held the highest regard. I placed so much effort into my studies in theoretical magic that it would be a shame to let my work be lost somewhere in the sands of time.
