The Albinocorn, or just "Albi" for short, is a Ffnfiction writer for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. They're prolific in the fandom for numerous fanfics starring Sunset Shimmer; a particular claim to fame is that they wrote Sunset of Time, the first Sunset Shimmer fanfic on Fimfiction.net.note  Another particularly famous work is Long Road to Friendship and its sequel Spectacular Seven. Beyond focusing on Sunset, though, their works vary greatly in tone, genre, and length.


Fanfics with their own pages:


Albi's works include examples of:

  • Author Appeal
    • Sunset Shimmer, naturally: a vast majority of their writings focus on her. Accordingly, the Sunset x Twilight pairing and Sunset's relationship with Celestia feature a lot.
    • Discussions on how magic and magical artifacts work, and ancient legends and lore about these artifacts, are a deep part of their writing.
    • Their fics tend to play up the Magical Girl elements of the franchise with detailed magical fight scenes and transformations.
  • Breakout Character: The Long Road to Friendship Sunset ended up starring in episode reviews, and then branched into featuring her in other blogs, chatting with Albi and their musings as if she were reviewing things with them.
  • Follow the Leader: Since they wrote two of the most prominent Sunset Shimmer fanfics in the fandom, and these fics were very early ones too, a lot of other works depicting Sunset Shimmer tend to echo what Albi did with her, either deliberately or not.
  • No Yay: Downplayed; while Sunset x Twilight fics are prominent, it's usually the human version of Twilight, and in alternate-universe stories Twilight will be based more on her human counterpart. Sunset x Princess Twilight is usually ruled out, because Sunset either hates her or considers her too much of a friend and mentor to take a romantic interest.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Mocked in Sunlight, where a horny vampiric Sunset declares herself "Twisexual."
  • Tsundere: Their version of Sunset Shimmer tends to be depicted as this, veering more to "tsun" or "dere" depending on if Rainbow Rocks is canon to the fic or not. Double Sun Daze takes this to its logical conclusion with Sunset being physically split into her nice and mean sides.
