Talk about eye candy!


Author: darf

Princess Twilight Sparkle is tired of being a stunningly attractive spinster, so she decides to ask out the pony of her desires (whom she decides is Applejack). As is par for the course, things don't go exactly as planned, but Twilight learns valuable lessons about magic and friendship in the process.

Is this tale of unbridled passion good, or is it soooo un-rainbow? Grab your Applnese-to-English dictionary and click through to find out!

Fan Fiction Review #043: Death Note: Equestria




Death Note with ponies? My interest has been piqued.

Author: Nonagon
Equestria is growing, and magical savant Twilight Sparkle is disgusted by the crime and corruption this change has brought. Her life is changed forever when she discovers the Death Note, a notebook with inexplicable and deadly powers. She uses this book to pass judgement on those she deems unworthy of life, aiming to create a perfect world free of crime. But when the two Princesses put their best pony on the case, a mysterious detective known only as L, a psychological game of cat and mouse erupts between the two.
Comments contain spoilers. Artwork by blu-red, opening by Anon3mous. Now with its own TV Tropes page.
Well, this sounds like an interesting crossover. I mean, a tool of mass destruction such as the Death Note would be interesting to throw into a world of peace-loving ponies. I wonder what their reactions would be? Does this fic explore the possibilities of the chaos or lack thereof of said object being introduced to this world of love and friendship?

Nope!

Fan Fiction Review #42: The Abundance

Oh, come the f*BUY SOME APPLES*k on!

Author: defender2222
The Sequel to 'Faith and Doubt'.
   It's been two months since the changeling attack and Shining's almost-wedding and much has changed. Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn and has left Equestria to master her new powers. The sixth element of harmony, the corrupt abstract Doubt, has been reborn in his original form: Faith. He, along with Spike, have gone with Twilight as she sought to heal after the betrayal by her friends and family.
   But Twilight's return to Ponyville will not be a happy one; in her absence her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have been turned into alicorns themselves and the embodiments of their elements. They have seized power and now rule Equestria with iron hooves, using banned magic to turn their friends and family into zealots that obey their every command.
   To save Equestria, Twilight will have to do the unthinkable: form a rebellion and declare war on her friends.
   But will she be willing to make the tough decisions... even if it means choosing between friendship and freedom.
Everything is bad in large doses.
Well, if that doesn't sound like the most unique, non-cliched setup for a story I've ever seen, I don't know what is! Let's review this sucker!

-whimpers-

There is no Celestia...

Author Interview Dispatch #002: totallynotabrony

totallynotabronyFIM's Profile Picture

Yes, this is the second installment in the series. We did one a while back, but the interviews weren't done by us, they were just shared with us by RBDash47 on FiMFiction. I plan for this to be a somewhat regular segment for the Literature Division where we talk with notable authors in the community as well as the authors of stories we've reviewed in the past.

But that's enough explanation for now, we entered the jump zone 3 minutes ago! Get you're flank out that door!

Fan Fiction Review #041: Machine And Might


Futuristic humans in Equestria! How... original?

Author: Kriegor
A massive artificial behemoth made of metal tore through our skies. It loomed over our world, blotting out Celestia's sun and shrouding Luna's moon, leaving those below in the shadows. It sowed chaos and conflict on our nation, something that had not happened in more than a millennium. 
It sits high above us, watching and waiting. What is this monster, and what is to be the fate of Equestria?
I Hate "Human in Equestria."

Fan Fiction Review #040: Fallout Equestria


Oh I can hear it now: "Beef how can you expect to review the greatest fic ever penned to MS word?"

Author: Kkat
Fallout. With ponies! Set in an alternate future, one pony must learn to survive in a blasted, poisoned land... and possibly, with the aid of friends made along the way, bring new light into the darkness of post-apocalyptic Equestria.
Ok, settle down, yes this fic is good... but I always love trying to make authors cry. En Guarde.

Fan Fiction Review #039: The Strings that Make No Sound



Whenever I see something tagged as 'sad', I usually just avoid it. Seriously. As an Airman in his early twenties, I like few things better than a good shoot-em-up or epic adventure. When I see another sad-tagged Octavia story, I brace myself for something typical. I guess that's why it is important to remember not to judge a fic by its cover.

Author: ChaoticHarmony
   When we lose all of what makes our world be special, how can we even bear to keep going in life?  How does one even begin to start coping with such a thing?  One cellist, called Octavia by those who knew her, does just this.  She throws the cruel destiny that the harsh fates had bestowed upon her aside and stands proudly upon the stage of the world to play her instrument, her life, louder than any other. 
She plays on the strings that make no sound.
Catch the review after the break.

Fan Fiction Review #038: Gold Star


Hey everybrony! Yes, I just used that term... Anyway, remember when I was actually alive? Me neither, but I'm back! This time I have yet another story submitted to us with a military slant to it. This one was actually sent in to us by the founder/administrator of the Pony Fiction Vault, so it can be reasonably expected to have a certain level of quality, but how good can it really be?

Author: Mindblower
Mom says that families who work really hard get to put a gold star on the inside of their windows.
Perhaps I should have given this one to Tweak or Dizzy... NAH! We've entered the jump zone. Green-light! Go! Go! Go!

Fan Fiction Review #035: Aces High



I think we all agreed Lightning Dust got what was coming to her, but I'm pretty sure we all wanted to know what happened to that hotshot.  This is a take on what went down in the locker room afterwords.

After taking a few minutes to contemplate things, she decides that she's been given enough second chances in her life to see to it that somepony else gets one as well.
Your boss is tapping her hoof and waiting to give you a stern lecture after the break.

Long ago, in the magical land of Equestria, there lived a powerful King and his dark Queen. Immortal and ignorant, their end came at the hooves of their daughters, Celestia and Luna, who sought to build a better future for ponykind.

Twilight Sparkle is trapped inside her own mind, slave to a cruel and impulsive consciousness built from everything she is not. Powerless and voiceless, she must find a way to stop the being that calls itself Nihilus from destroying everything she holds dear.
Luna is tasked with assembling the remaining Elements of Harmony in hopes of freeing their leader. For if ponykind is to have any hope, it is in Twilight Sparkle. And if Twilight Sparkle is to have any hope, it is in her five friends.
Facing her father in mortal combat, Celestia must do everything she can to ensure that ponykind has the tools to survive before she falls. With inevitable defeat bearing down upon her, she makes the first move in the oldest and deadliest game known to creation.

Fan Fiction Review #033: Something To Remember Me By


Something to remember who by?

Author: ChaoticHarmony
Everything must end eventually. Ponies will drift apart as they grow, each of them pulled down a separate path of life. For some, it's a paved road lined with bright lights and jeweled sunshine. For others, it is merely a simple trail with only the light of the stars, sun, and moon to guide them.
Yeah, this is going to hurt.....

Author: Ciroton

Author: TheVulpineHero1

Fan Fiction Review #029: Usurped Dawn


Hey look, I actually wrote another review! Just like my last one, this story also has a military theme to it. I have to say, it was something of an interesting read... What? I'm not telling you if that's a good or bad thing. You should know me better than that by now!

Author: BaroqueNexus
My name is none of your concern. We are not alone. Humans are no longer the only creatures that walk, talk, write, and kill. In 2015, the Pentagon received direct contact from an extraterrestrial with an offer that we soon realized was too good to pass up. In exchange, we had to eliminate one of her kind. We were desperate, and this alien held in her hooves the key to humanity's prolonged survival. One man was assigned for the mission. 
I was that man, and that mission was called Operation: Usurped Dawn.
So, how does the author of The Pony in my Pocket do this time? You've got the green-light. Get ready to jump!
