Fanfic / Ponyfall

PonyFall: A Collaboration of Self-Inserts, is a collaborative fan work based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, published on Fimfiction.net.

In Equestria — Discord is (somehow) set free once more. Once again, he hides the Elements of Harmony and this time, he doesn't give a clue as to where they are. Their six bearers and the Princesses confront him in battle. In the midst of that, he manages to grab hold of Princess Luna. However, just as he was about to cast a spell, she does so as well and it results in a bright pink explosion, which engulfs everypony (and some who aren't ponies) in Ponyville and beyond...

On Earth — Imagine if you will, that you were out for a walk one day, a supposedly normal day like any other, when suddenly, the sky becomes a bright shade of pink for a few minutes, and you start to smell the aroma of chocolate fudge. While everyone is panicking you search for the source of the strange smell. You find a mysterious stranger (an Equestrian) passed out on the ground. Who is this strange person, and what will you do?

The current stories in the collaboration are:

• Ponyfall: The Dawning of Twilight (Complete) – in which Twilight Sparkle is found by nurse Matthew "MrBackpack" Martinez and his fiance outside their house in Austin, Texas.

  Going with my plan, I dashed through the hallway, edging through a few guys who were busy going on about the Indianapolis Colts.
• Adaptation Decay: In universe, several of the ponies have pointed out minor inaccuracies in the show's portrayal of events.
• All Stories Are Real Somewhere: Will suggests as much when giving Rarity his theory on her situation.
• Angrish: Rarity gets a tad upset when she discovers how she's depicted on some internet sites
  "How could- You People- It’s- No. NO! Why is this- How is this... You... Bronies... Friendship... I don’t- I can’t-” She shouted every attempt before finally throwing her hands up in the air and giving out a strangled cry that sounded like something halfway between one of the velociraptors from Jurassic Park and the Wilhelm scream before finally pointing at the screen and shouting, “FILTH!”
• April Fools' Day: Chapter 5 of Leather and Lace
• Batman in My Basement: A problem for some of the younger bronies, in particular John, who ends up having to hide the kids in his parents' guesthouse.

• Heroic BSoD:
  • Twilight the day after her experience in the ER.
  • Applejack after watching Family Appreciation Day, which brought back memories of her parents' death.
• Hot in Human Form: Pretty much everybody finds the Equestrian's human forms to be beautiful, especially Celestia's human form which has very huge knockers. It's even more awkward since they are found naked.

• Rule 34: Poor Rarity learns about this rule the HARD way in Leather and Lace chapter 7.
