Description: Sweetie Belle, a fine young lady in her preteen years, has secretly been turning to video games as a means of relief from her insecurities. Now a talented member of an elite team of gamers from around the world, she has come to rely on her new friends for companionship and support as she bears the escalating pressures of her coming-of-age.
But when a sudden gaming
cutie mark reveals her secret to everyone she knows, she's forced to
contend with her uncertainties over what it means for her destiny, along
with a fresh wave of bullying
at school, jealousy from her closest friends, and mounting expectations
from her family.
To make matters worse,
fears of a looming conflict between Equestria and Gryphos have resulted
in a national atmosphere of war-wariness, creating skepticism towards
depictions of violence in the
young gaming industry and a distrust for gryphonkind that is poised to
threaten her relationship with a cherished gryphon teammate.
But as she takes her
first unsteady steps towards adulthood, she may learn that she's not the
only one hiding a secret, and that perhaps her journey to
self-discovery isn't one she need make alone.

Description: What happens if you’re just another salespony in postapocalyptia, a blacksmith by and large focused on running your store day by day?

And in the stillness and privacy of the night, the ghost of a smile graces your muzzle as you work at your forge, making your mark on the Wasteland in small ways.Fallout Equestria: Wasteland Economics (New Part 14!)

Author: Wisdom Thumbs
Description: It's been five long years since Red Pommel rose from mud and clawed his way to the top. Too bad being Master Swordpony of Everfree isn't all it was cracked up to be. Instead of quests or saving damsels, all Red got was five years of guard duty alongside a heaping helping of court politics. And what does he have to show for it? More money than he knows what to do with, and at least as many enemies.
Now dragons stir in the far north, mysteriously freed from an ancient prison. Celestia calls for an envoy, and it's no surprise that Red jumps at the opportunity. But when his swashbuckling leads him astray, he instead finds himself caught up in a tale of dark forests, dead gods, and gleaming steel...
