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.
A young woman is given a holocorder to document her experience of going through a Conversion Bureau.
Recruited by the Worldgovernment, a young woman is given a holocorder to document her experience of going through a Conversion Bureau, and her experiences after. This is the text transcript of her hypernet holofeed. This story takes place in Year Three of the expansion of Equestria.

This is a comedy piece taking a lighter look at the Conversion Bureau Universe, and the PER.
Formerly Los Angeles, The Equestrian Barrier approaches. Both Newfoals and the last humans prepare.
Los Pegasus is the new name of what was once Los Angeles. The Equestrian barrier, now on land, approaches, and with it Inclusion Day, where the city will become part of Equestria. Both converted Newfoals and the last humans all have their own stories to tell as this final event in the life of their city approaches.
An ancient manuscript written in Middle English, the only surviving artifact from long lost Earth, may hold the true reason for the emergence of Equestria.
An ancient manuscript written in Middle English, the only surviving artifact from long lost Earth, may hold the true reason for the emergence of Equestria, the very existence of the Conversion Bureaus, and the deepest secret of Princess Celestia herself.
This story is a continuation and expansion of 'The Conversion Bureau: Letters From Home', but it is not necessary to have read that story to enjoy and follow this one.
When a magical portal spits out a enraged being, Twilight Sparkle and her friends discover a world being attacked by... them? Now Equestria must go to war and save humanity and its allies before it's too late.
A wondrous portal of light and colors open in Ponyville, one would think it brought good tidings.
They were wrong.
A human, pushed to the brink of madness and misery, attacks the Elements of Harmony. A war, unknown and uncomprehending, being waged for the survival of one species. A power hungry Alicorn setting her sights on new lands.
Now all of Equestria and her people find themselves teetering on the edge of war, war so uncompromising and ruthless against an enemy they all know.
Themselves.
Darkness begins to settle across the entire world, old enemies setting aside their differences for mutual survival.
Now is the time to fight... Now is the time to show the mad so called goddess that they will not bow to her... Now is the time to show Harmony as it is meant to be seen...
The Tyrant has no idea what she has unleashed... But then again... Neither do they.

Hello, all who see this, it is my displeasure to inform you that RedSkin has resigned from Spectrum and, as a part of an agreement, the original version is here for everyone to see unaltered. We, the remaining members of the Spectrum crew, are going to continue things in a new version that will be coming soon.
Please be patient with us as we try to adjust to this period.
Update all, here is the link to the new version SPECTRUM.
Gleaming Shield wants a simple life. Fate wants something else completely. Stupidity ensues.
Ever since she could remember, Gleaming Shield didn't ask for much from life. Being able to support herself financially, possibly advancing her guard career, and maybe—just maybe—confessing her feelings to her very-good-friend-and-secret-crush, Anon. You know, the little things. That's not too much to ask for right? Right?
Princess Celestia is stricken with a terrible illness that causes her to violently cuddle anypony she can get her hooves on.
A startling situation arises when Princess Celestia begins acting crazily and violently cuddling the ponies around her. Fearing the breakdown of the government, Princess Luna and one of Canterlot's most unfortunate doctors hatch a plan to cure her by letting her cuddle the daylights out of a Royal Guard.
The CMC decide to help out a shy Feather Bang with his mare problem.
After helping Big Mac find his Special Somepony, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are asked by the surprisingly shy Feather Bang to help him with talking to other ponies; specifically mares. True to their word, the Crusaders decide to help out the shy stallion, but Feather quickly learns their way of helping might be far different than he had in mind.
Two heart-broken souls are brought together in Equestria.
Twilight had found love in a man from another world, but after a terrible encounter he was taken from her. However, she has found a way to bring him back... or so she thinks, but to ease the ache in her heart she is willing to do whatever it takes.
Leon lives each day as a lie; though on the surface he is calm, with a tendency to make light of nearly any situation, on the inside he seethes with hatred towards his world for a terrible injustice committed against someone he had cared for many years prior.
Fate will bring these two together, and through their shared heart-ache, will create an everlasting bond. This is just the beginning of their story.
Human/Brony in Equestria, Anthro-ponies, Some modern technology, Twi x OC, Crossover (don't ask what, many things make an appearance).
Warning: Story name subject to change if I happen to think of a better one.
Twilight Sparkle took a nap after Season 9 ended, only to find herself back at the start of Season 1. Stuck going home the long way 'round, will she be able to keep the timeline she remembers intact, or will the butterfly effect bulldoze over everything she held dear before the reset?
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, this is a story concept I originally was going to abandon until I got a mountain of positive feedback. Expect character tag changes as each chapter comes out. (And yes, the cover image is inspired by Groundhog Day.)
A poor break-up sends Spike to the most understanding of the Six. She sends him to bed.
Spike shows up on Fluttershy's doorstep at the crack of dawn, professing heartbreak and asking for a shoulder to cry on. Fluttershy does as every pony should: she makes him a pot of tea, and sends him off to bed.
This is the story of where that takes them.
This turned out to have three endings. In order they are Bad, True, Happy, and have been placed in the story where they would have occurred had I written them 'in flow' if you will. They are not tied to each other and you only need to read the one you want to get an end to the journey. Thank you to everyone who supported this to the end. It was a lovely trip
Cover art gratefully borrowed from Airy, over on Tumblr. Give a peek for more cuties
Featured briefly on 12/22/16! Thanks all, for the wonderful Christmas gift! Featured briefly every time I actually update! You guys have no idea how happy that makes me, thank you so much!
Steven Miles enjoys a vacation in San Fransisco at the popular Shillton hotel on the cheap. The only catch is that he has to put up with some robotic horse 'assistant' for the duration of his stay. What could possibly go wrong? [CONTAINS FOALCON]
Warning: This story contains foalcon (technically), dubious consent/somnophilia, Human X Ponybot sexytimes and a very poorly socialized android. You have been warned~
Steven Miles works too hard. That what his boss says, at least.
So when he's finished helping set up the new San-Fran office, he's ordered to take a vacation, on his own dollar, of course. Luckily for him, the Shillton has some deal going, all he has to do is turn off the robotic assistant he's saddled with and he can stay in the best hotel in the city for cheap!
There's definitely no way he'd find her cute. And there's definitely not a chance in hell that he'd fall head over heels for an underaged horse robot, right?
While on a job to deliver supplies to a new colony in the Andromeda Galaxy, something goes horribly wrong. David Lawson finds himself the sole surviror of a devestating crash on an unknown world. An unkown world full of colorful talking ponies...
Note* This story is prewritten and will be updated weekly.
In the year 2037, humanity developed the technology to travel across galaxies. Several companies sprang up with intent to travel to the Andromeda galaxy and develop Earth's first colony. David Lawson joined one such company, but on the flight back to Earth, something went terribly wrong. Now, David has crash landed on an unknown planet. He is all alone... or so he thought.
Midnight Shadow, a unicorn mare from Canterlot, takes responsibility for the strange alien creature and saves his life, but can he even make a life for himself in this new world? Can he ever find happiness? Security? Love?
The way certain characters act was inspired by a few other stories on here, namely Fleeting Flames, To Find a Rainbow, and Lyra's Confession. I highly recommended you read those if you haven't yet.
Also, this is my first story ever, so please be gentle. Tagged with violence due to a small fight in chapter 3 and descriptions of blood and burn wounds. Nothing too crazy, but tagged just to be safe. Tagged with sex because of sex.
If this story is any good whatsoever, I attribute that to my best friend and fantastic editor AJ. Also, I would probably have far more spelling mistakes and bad grammar if not for BurningDusk. He read through all of my crap before hand and made sure it was legible.
Fantasies and dreams are not meant to be real, but an entire town clearly didn’t get the memo. Now, Luna has to save the citizens of Horseshoe Bay from the mistakes of one from Beyond.
Dreams can take strange turns, but lucid dreams are not supposed to. That’s the whole point, to change the dreamworld through lucidity. However, when he tried messing around with his own subconscious, William signed up for far more than he ever thought he was going to.
Now, Reality seems to be following arbitrary rules, cartoon logic and the fact that he cannot change back from his ridiculous alicorn form is just vanilla icing on the bizarre cake.
And unbeknownst to him, a certain Princess is infuriated by the intrusion in her domain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
That awesome piece of coverart was drawn by the equally awesome mix-up, that you can also find on his dA account here.
When one fateful search through the Everfree Forest leads Rarity to a secret library inhabited by the spirit of an ancient alicorn princess, she realises that it may be time to start believing in fairy tales.
Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.
She doesn't anymore.
Dedicated to Annuska for being as amazing a writer as she is a friend.
Barefoot, nearsighted and lost, a young man wakes to find his life has drastically changed.
One moment he was in his bedroom, trying to get to sleep. The next, he's in a dark forest, with a moon that's twice the size it should be.
An ordinary man finds himself lost in a place with no memory of how he got there, thick darkness all about him and no idea where he is. Now he has to find food, shelter, and somehow a way home.
[Edit] Many spoilers in the comments, so approach with caution. Buuuut, I love comments, so don't be afraid to submit some!
