It is Equestrian tradition that, when a pony is a certain age, they are given a timer that counts down the days until they meet their soulmate. Rarity was very excited the day she got hers. She just hadn't expected it would be counting up.
It is Equestrian tradition that, when a pony comes of a certain age, they are given a magic timer that counts down the days until they're destined to meet their soulmate. Rarity was very excited the day she got hers.
She just hadn't expected it would be counting up.
Short ficlet based on a prompt I got on my Tumblr blog. Original prompt was to write a drabble set in a universe where "timers are set on the wrist of every person once they are a certain age, slowly counting down until the day they meet their soulmate".
The journey of one changeling after he is left for dead, saved by Twilight, and is taught how to live again by the ponies around him.
Shade was nearly dead when he was discovered by his former pony enemies. Now he will begin a journey that will teach him what it means to live, laugh, and love as only a pony can. And he’ll make plenty of friends along the way.
A full rewrite is underway as well. You can check out Learning To Live Again and see Shade’s story play out differently.
Follow the journey of a young cynical man as his world is turned upside down. Without anywhere to turn, can he learn to set aside his preconceptions and learn to accept friendship for what it truly is?
THIS STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN. THEREFORE IT IS NOT COMPLETE.
My name is Seth Rogers. I'm a simple college student trying to get a degree so I can land a good job. However all of that goes out the metaphorical door when I encounter a strange man adorned in half-plate armor. Before I know it, I'm in an unknown land filled with ridiculous looking ponies colored every shade of the rainbow. Or all of them, in one case. ... I want them to stay as far away from me as physically possible.
This is a Human in Equestria story with shounen elements. The twist is this: the main character, a bitter and troubled young man who doesn't believe in kindness or friendship, experiences the very same lessons that we have in the process of watching this incredible show. Can the ponies we all know and love help Seth become a better person?
Another thing that I must point out is that the show does not exist in the human world. Stay tuned, as character development is the goal of the whole story.
Book I: The New World: Chapters 1-7 Book II: The Meaning of Friendship: Chapters 8-19 Book III: To Canterlot: Chapters 20-33 Book IV: The Royal Wedding: Chapters 34-57 Book V: Forgotten Memories: Chapters 58-86 Book VI: The Return of the Crystal Empire: Chapters 87-End

A young man forced into extraordinary circumstances after an experiment gone wrong has to deal with starting a new life in a strange world plagued with talking ponies. All while forced into the body of a young foal.
Artemio Baldarich has always led a successful and entrepreneurial lifestyle. At the young age of 23 he seems to have the rest of his life planned out with his role as a computer scientist for a defense contractor in southern California.
Arty’s plans however encounter a major roadblock when a test on a missile defense system leads to him being mysteriously transported to a foreign world beyond anything he ever thought was possible.
Not only is he very disoriented, but he must also deal with the fact that all the creatures around him seem to think that he is a young child based on the body that he now inhabits. Hopefully he will be able to find a way to use his knowledge of his world to build a new life for himself and find a way home.
Edit 6/8/2017: Story was featured apparently. Never thought this would happen, especially so soon, but it’s pretty cool that it did. I’m a novice to writing and I truly hope that I can improve my writing style as I contribute more to this story. Thank you to everyone who has left feedback for me, it is much appreciated.
Edit 6/14/2017: We have an editor now! Feel free to check them out: Doctor Disco.

Years after the last human is Converted, a Newfoal must face that the past never truly vanshes.
Set in the Conversion Bureau universe during the years after the last human is Converted, Newfoal Teacup faces the fact that however much she tries to fit in, the fact of once having been human must always set her apart.
An entry into the fifth Ponychan Conversion Bureau Writing Event as organized by Krass McWriter. Following the PROMPT: “Simply put, write a continuation, prequel, or spinoff of someone else's TCB story.” This continues BronyOfSteel’s classic short story 'Ten Minutes', taking it from nihilism to joy.
Seth Conway joins the military after a call for volunteers to train with their pony allies. Seeking direction, this could just give him what he seeks. Meeting a gorgeous, reticent mare named Schneeblume is the best part of his new adventure.
Seth Conway, in a bout of spontaneity that he hoped would give him that very direction he craved, took up the military’s offer to send volunteer recruits across The Portal to train and serve with their equine counterparts in a show of camaraderie. The promise of adventure and purpose greater than himself—directly benefiting the human and equine races—was hard to pass up.
The whole justification for this, in his mind, was “Why not? What’s the worst that could happen?”
But maybe in meeting a beautiful, shy, lavender-eyed mare named Schneeblume with her own… decorated past will have him asking the question: “What’s the best that could happen?" And In the end, perhaps both of them may find something they've been looking for.

Peter was a responsible college student, and what better reward for his efforts than a one way ticket to Equestria? Wait what? Now he has to get used to the land of happy go lucky ponies. He, now she, first has to get her new hooves under her first.
Peter Westmoore, 19 years old. Friends describe him as hard working, but a stick in the mud. Peter never enjoyed the party scene, not when he could be honing his skills as an animator, nor did he have a taste for alcohol. And what does all that responsibility get him? A quick night terror and being dragged to Equestria. Now he, or rather "she" has to find a way back to his/her world. But the six colors adorning his new equine shape simply keep getting in the way. How will a now stressed college student adapt to the happy go lucky world of ponies, and as a filly no less?
Special thanks to my editors; gerandakis and Jasperr Hart. For going through these chapters and helping me clean them up.
Hi, no the story isn't dead, I'm just on the loosest schedule I can manage and still call it a schedule.
Like I've said in previous comments, this stories muse is out for a match of tennis, so it's grinding by very slowly.
On top of that, the most recent chapters don't flow very well with the rest of the story, so here's what I'm thinking;
I'm going to put 'er on hiatus, and go back, do a bit of touch up work on the chapters, bring the whole story in for an overhaul, then continue once it's all cleaned up.
If that doesn't work out, then I'll just have to buckle down and force out the next few chapters, but I think we all know how well that would turn out.
Local Dumbass Yote By A Bus, Turns Into A Unicorn, More At 11.
Rose Tint is quite the fortunate fellow! Well about as fortunate as a man who was hit by a bus can be..
He was given the privilege of deciding the starting conditions of his next run at life, and ended up in none other than a rendition of everyone's favorite Ponyland Cartoon Show. He has no idea what's going on, and he's a bit confused but we think he has the spirit!
Shy and timid Nora finally works up enough courage to ask Princess Celestia on a date. However, there might be more to Celestia than Nora originally thought.
Nora has a secret. During the year she's been living in Equestria, she has somehow managed to develope a crush on a pony. Unfortunately for her, said pony happens to be the monarch of the day and bearer of the sun, Princess Celestia. After months of bearing her crush, Nora finally works up enough courage to ask Celestia out on a date. To everyone's surprise—Nora's included—Celestia agrees.
Celestia has a secret. One that nopony save for Luna knows. A secret that might change how Nora feels about the Solar Princess.
After all, in Equestria, 'Princess' is just a title.
Have you ever imagined that one day you would wake up in a strange new world in an even stranger new body? Well I never have but it still happened and now I am running around in my OC’s body in a land I thought was nothing more than a cartoon
(This Fic has a sequel, or a continuation as you like.)
Have you ever imagined that one day you would wake up in a strange new world in an even stranger new body? Well I never have but it still happened and now I am running around in my OC’s body in a land I thought was nothing more than a silly children’s cartoon.
Well here I am…in the land where friendship is supposedly magic as an alicorn no less, staying with the two pegasi sisters while trying to make sense of my situation and keeping my whole alicorn appearance a secret…especially from the OTHER two alicorn’s. God knows what happens when these ponies find out what I really am...Both now and what i used to be.
Hopefully, one day…all of this will make sense and let’s just hope I don’t cause too much chaos while trying to find answers and trying to find a way back home.
(STORY GOT FEATURED IN 25/7/2016 )
(This story was somewhat inspired by "The Third Roommate" and "Fleeting Flames" but will still have its own nature, style and obviously plot. Also big thank you to WrittenWord333 for helping me figure out the plot for this story.)
After waking up from a near Fatal magical accident, Nava has developed a new found fear for magic in general. Will he fall to his fears or finally learn and conquer his new Alicorn powers? All under the watchful eyes of the Thestral captain.
After having just escaped death from a near fatal magical accident that he nearly paid with his life, Nava must now make a choice either fear magic forever, or finally man up for once and face all of his problems head on. Including his bad acrophobia and the fact that the Princesses now know of his existence as well.
Not only that, but a certain group of thestrals will also be keeping a direct eye on him too. Specifically a certain captain with anger issues and a complicated past which may or may not explain her reasons for her questionable methods and sometimes open hostility.
Will Nava break from his problems with the help of those closest to him in this new world? Or will he finally break down and let his fears get the better of him.
Also what is going to happen to both Flitter and Cloudchaser? The two mares who invited this strange new Alicorn into their lives. Will they find out that he is not from Equestria at all?
Who knows? Only the future itself can answer these questions.
(Featured again on the day it was released on the 3/18/2017)
Lyra Heartstrings wasn't always a unicorn. In fact, that isn't even her real name. She wasn't even born in Equestria. But it's her job to defend it from various threats nonetheless, alongside her begrudging partner, Bonbon.
They finally revealed themselves in the mid 21st century. After hundreds of years of clandestine observation and experimentation, they admitted defeat in their quest to prevent the genetic death of their race. Thus, they gave us their knowledge and technology in the hopes we could avoid their fate. But the gifts came with a responsibility: we had to assume their role in overseeing and protecting the various worlds they had taken under their wing, or in some cases, had outright created as experiments. Amongst these is, of course, Equis, the one experiment world with a full ecosystem complete with non-human sapient natives, and we can't exactly wear a body suit and expect to fit in.
And that is why I'm a mint-colored unicorn now, mom.
...No mom, I'm not joking. Why? The pay is good, I get to see a new world, help protect innocents from the meaner denizens of the place, that sort of thing. ...No, mom, I am not still upset that you didn't get me a car on my sixteenth birthday. I wasn't really upset in the first place, honestly. ...Should you really be asking that? ...Okay, if it'll get you to stop asking, yeah, everything works. Yes, even that. No, I have not tried it out! I don't even have fingers! Oh for the love of—just, just put dad on the line, okay? I've only got fifty seconds before my card runs out and I start paying full rate for interstellar calls. Lousy telecom companies.
-This story inspired and largely influenced by Project: Sunflower by Hoopy McGee, but it is a separate, unconnected story. No endorsement from said author is implied.
Rated Teen for occasional foul language, discussion of mature topics, and fighting scenes. Nothing graphic, however. This is a story in progress, and as such tags for characters and/or categories may be edited as future updates may warrant.
Celestia always dreamed of a foal. Just never expected it to be like this.
Chrysalis expected a few things to come out of her failed invasion. New enemies, cuts, bruises. But she really wasn't expecting to be expecting. Worst yet, the father of her unborn isn't a he, but a she who just so happens to be the Princess of Equestria.

Two friends must face what the essence of identity means to them.
Set in the Conversion Bureau universe, two young men face the inevitable totality of the expansion of Equestria into our world, and in the decision of one to choose transformation, both must come to an understanding about what is truly important about the meaning of self. Features Enhanced Audiobook Version.
Elias "Rubrum Aquilae" Bright, the former leader of the Legio I Americana, on the run from his past, finds himself thrown into the conflicts of Equestria.
Elias Bright is a survivor. He has survived the end of the world. He has survived the deaths of his family. He has survived the death of all that he has built. On the run from a past that haunts him to his core, he finds himself in Equestria, a land of tranquility and peace. Elias now has a choice. Does he give up the only life he has known, that of a survivor, and settle with the ponies of Equestria, or will his past deeds come to drag him back into the dark past he has tried to bury?
A young man wakes up in Equestria as a very adorable Alicorn colt, gets forcibly adopted by Luna, and tries to find his way home.
Dark Tag is for Black Comedy and slightly morbid situations!
A young man by the name of Oliver Leaf finds himself trapped in another world...as a young colt. A young Alicorn colt.
As if this wasn't bad enough, he's got a terrifying enthusiastic blue one trying to mother him, a pink one competing to do the same, and a white one who does nothing except watch on in amusement.
Add all of this on top of the other personalities that keep trying to take control of his body, and it's little wonder why he keeps trying to run away. Especially when not all of them are quite as innocent as he would like.
This story is very similar when compared with To Run From The Sun, if only because of its short chapters and OOC ponies.
Rated Teen for suggestive scenes and the occasional bit of colorful language.
The Anniversary Day for The Conversion Bureau Genre is celebrated with new visions of the concept!
The Conversion Bureau genre was created on March 23rd, 2011. I chose to celebrate the anniversary of the humble origins of one of the most potent and unique of all MLP:FIM subgenres of fanfiction through the invention of completely original, shockingly new visions of the central concept.
Visit a universe where Luna and Celestia are mountain-sized supercomputers. A universe where the Singularity is defined by a toy in a dead man's hands. A universe where Mankind has spread to the stars and the latest fashion is designer bodies. See the Conversion Bureau in new guises, through fresh eyes, as never before.
Earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn; a newfoal will become one. But there is provision for one other.
Earth pony, pegasus pony, unicorn; a human entering a Conversion Bureau will end up as one of these three pony forms. But there is a secret provision, to which all Bureaus must adhere utterly, should one unlikely but intolerable transformation somehow occur. The absolute monarch of Equestria fears nothing from the human world. Nothing save this. Lillian Fogarty wanted only to be a simple pony in Equestria. Sought by the combined forces of Earth's corporate government and the might of Equestria itself she finds herself an abomination in both worlds, her survival almost certainly an impossibility.
