*Starlight Glimmer has spent time in Canterlot gathering data on the mane6 from their acquaintances. *She convinces Moondancer to show her the spells Twilight had suggested she practice for fun. *She learns of the time travel spell and has Moondancer upgrade it. *Starlight Glimmer then uses the spell to go far back in time to stop Rainbow Dash from performing the rainboom. *Because the rainbow never appeared, none of the mane6 get their cutie marks and Spike is never hatched. *At the same time in the present, the CMC are visiting Twilight to have her examine their newly earned marks because they seem based on friendship magic. *At the same time, Discord bursts in uninvited and conveniently tests a new spell on the three of them and Twilight that shield them from time being altered. *In this new timeline they discover that without the mane6 to stop Nightmare Moon, she returns and defeats Celestia, turning her into Nightmare Star. *Starlight Glimmer attempts to negate both of their powers but is instead subjugated herself. *No matter which mane6 member Twilight tries to seek out and get them to become the rightful avatars of the Elements of Harmony, she cannot convince them to help her. *However, the CMC use their talent to help other ponies discover their special talents and thus earn them their cutie marks and recover their power. *With the help of a CMC-reformed Starlight, the mane6 defeat the Nightmares and use the time loops to travel back to the normal future. *Twilight then gets Sunset's msg from Canterlot High and travels to the human world as shown in the credits of Friendship Games.
What you see here has once begun as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy princesses.
Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.
The whole thing was set into motion by this gem:
~~~~~
>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?
>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.
If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.
If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.
If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 81! Get ready to wrap up some city smashing fun!
Over a year ago, a very special pony was given a very special gift. The power to change Equestria, and change it she did. Changelings, friends taking new forms, machines and so much more followed in the wake of her ascension, a change none could have foreseen or planned for.
And somewhere along the way, a one eyed changeling came out of a bathroom stall, and found himself in a world that he no longer recognized and had not even yet begun to change.
And somehow, someway, it all started with this.

Many strange stories have come in the wake of this change, why not add your own tale? It isn't the worst thing that can happen, trust me.
Or perhaps a painting is more your speed? We love those as well, great and small. Sometimes, even the most simple thing says the most.
Or simply make your voice heard. No matter where this voice comes from, we wish to hear it.
Finally, never be afraid to ask if something is confusing, there are always those there to help. They are always there....
Oh my, we've reached the 77th thread? My my... these things pop out from the strangest places, don't they?
LEAKING FLASH N PONIES N ASSETS DENYING HASBRO CORPORATE POLICIES I MEAN YOU DONT HAVE TO DO A FIGHTING PONY GAME TO LEAK SOMETHING IN SPITE OF IT RIGHT?
>So what is this shit? A CYOA based on the recovery and abuse of magical items that have somehow made their way to Equestria. Don't question the details, do try to think outside of the box, and as always: have fun.

Over time and with the involvement of countless writefriends and artbuddies, it has grown into something much greater. One of the longest running conjoinedly written AU stories in thread form.
