Thirty Minute Pony Stories

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny draconequus in the middle of the road. And he said, “Write the best fanfic in the world, or I’ll eat your souls.”

(The prompt is in one hour, at 12:00pm PDT, 3:00pm EDT, and 7:00pm GMT.)

A long time ago, me and my marefriend Dash here… we was racin’ down a long and lonesome road…

(The prompt is in three hours, at 12:00pm PDT, 3:00pm EDT, and 7:00pm GMT.)

I’m being worked to the bone here! Lucky for me there’s only one hour left of all this nonsense before Rainbow Dash blows that whistle of hers. One hour more!

5 p.m. Pacific/8 p.m. Eastern/12 a.m. GMT.

Wow, am I stressed and tired. Good thing there’s just three hours left of this. Just three hours left …

5 p.m. Pacific/8 p.m. Eastern/12 a.m. GMT.

“So your world’s benign?
So you think justice has a voice,
And we all have a choice?
Well, now your world is mine …”

Today’s prompt will post in just one more hour, at 12 p.m. Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. GMT.

“Here lies everything—
The world I wanted at my feet.
My victory’s complete,
So hail to the king …”

Today’s prompt will go live at 12 p.m. Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. GMT.

…2:00pm Pacific, 5:00pm Eastern, 9:00pm GMT. That’s precisely when it struck. And boy, did it.

It hit us in a flash, and then suddenly everything was gone. We undid ourselves, and that was that. Only a few left now, like us. Handful of others, but not many. And that’s all I got to say on the matter.

Hmm? Want more? Well, I’m all out of story to tell, but maybe you all could tell some instead…give me your own interpretation of how things might’ve gone down, perhaps. And while you do that, I suppose there’s something else I can share. A song people used to sing, before everything went away. A song I suppose we could’ve taken as a warning.

Gimmie a little while, though, to make sure I remember the lyrics. This ol’ brain ain’t what it used to be, after all.

We thought we were ready, but then again no one ever really is.

Hold on, let me start again. This is how this whole mess started in the first place:

Sometimes you just get hit with something right out of the blue, y’know, one of those radical big-idea type things, and you just gotta act on it.

And sometimes that idea don’t turn out the way you want it to. Just ask the poor sods here, after all. Well, I’d say that if they were still here, I guess.

I don’t got much time to talk, so I’ll make this quick. Quick as possible, anyway. 2:00pm Pacific, 5:00pm Eastern, 9:00pm GMTis when this all went down. I’ll try and catch you up by then, so’s we can celebrate the anniversary properly.

Gotta remember everything so we can atone for our mistakes, after all.

“I hear they’ve become quite taken with one another. It’s quite adorable, actually.”

“And hot!”

“Well, I don’t know about that.”

“You kiddin’? Big Mac and Pokey? They’re like the hottest dudes in Ponyville!”

“Aheh. I suppose they’re both handsome stallions, yes.”

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Hey Rarity.”

“Yes, Pinkie?”

“You think Big Mac likes gettin’… poked?”

“Pinkie, please!”

The prompt goes up at 12:30pm Pacific, 3:30pm Eastern, and 7:30pm GMT.

“So I got a letter from Trixie yesterday.”

“Trixie sends you letters? Wait. Trixie can write?”

“Ha! But yeah, ever since the alicorn amulet thing she sends me letters now and then. I thought you might be interested in this one, Rainbow.”

“Trixie’s a jerk. Why would I care about her?”

“Apparently she’s dating Lightning Dust.”

“WHAT?”

The prompt goes up at 12:30pm Pacific, 3:30pm Eastern, and 7:30pm GMT.

Just one more hour, just have to wait one more hour for 12:00pm PDT, 3:00pm EDT, and 8:00pm GMT, and then school will be out forever! I’m gonna miss it a little bit – most of all Miss Cheerilee – but no more homework? No more tests? It’s like a summer vacation that lasts forever… or at least until I start at college.

Oh, wow, the day is finally here! No more being stuck on the ground, no more being called a chicken or a dodo by the others. Today I spread my wings and fly, and other pegasi will consider me an adult instead of a mere fledgling!

I can’t even wait the three hours until 12:00pm PDT, 3:00pm EDT, and 8:00pm GMT! I’m ready right now! C’mon, throw the flight test at me, I’ll ace it!

Never you fear! In just one more hour, Prompt #344 will be here, posting at 12 p.m. Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. GMT.

Don’t be sad! Prompt #344 will be in just three short hours, arriving at 12 p.m. Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. GMT.

“Wow. Did you see that?”

“I know. Ain’t right. Ain’t right at all.”

“Yeah. Her technique was all wrong.”

“Wha… huh?”

“And did you see how she was using her teeth?”

“Uh.”

“What? What’d you think was wrong with it?”

“N-nothin’.”

Find out what’s wrong at 1:00pm Pacific, 4:00pm Eastern, 9:00pm GMT.
