Thirty Minute Pony Stories

Love, my little ponies. Love is one of the greatest things in all of Equestria, in all the world, and I’m happy to say that I am not immune to it myself. Yes, I have found somepony special, and rather than let the tabloids have their way, I stand before you today to tell you about the one that has captured my heart. I know that it may not be who you would expect, but then, isn’t that always the way with love?

The Prompt: Write a shipping story between Princess Celestia and another canon character.
Restriction: The one Celestia is shipped with cannot be related to her.
Restriction: The one Celestia is shipped with cannot be a current or former student of hers.
Restriction: The one Celestia is shipped with cannot be a personification of an abstract concept, such as chaos or disharmony.

This is a thirty-minute writing prompt; you have thirty minutes (not including time spent thinking and planning) in which to write a story inspired by today’s prompt. You have six hours from the start of this prompt to submit your stories; submissions will be closed at 7:00pm PDT, 10:00pm EDT, and 3:00am GMT. If you don’t happen to have a Tumblr account, you can submit your story by emailing it to thirtyminuteponies@gmail.com; do not submit using Tumblr’s email submission system, as it tends to deliver us only the titles of the stories submitted using it.
