3rd Place:

TLife On Equus
A BBC nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough. They might have a few things wrong...
AlwaysDressesInStyle · 3.4k words · 303 views

To introduce our first (tied for third place) story, I will say with no exaggeration that it’s one of the funniest fanfics I’ve read on fimfiction. I can’t immediately think of any others that had me laughing from start to finish. Beyond appealing to my personal sense of humor however, Life on Equus probes into deeper conceptual waters: how a sentient species such as ours views other species, in varying degrees of ignorance about the level of sentience of that creatures being studied. Or to take it further, in ignorance and disagreement about the nature of sentience itself. Beneath the playful satire is a subtle mockery of cocksure homo sapiens, a clown routine of humans intruding. Humans spectacularly missing the point. Humans thinking they know better.

None of this should reflect poorly on Sir Attenborough, the lead character of the story, of course. Environmental conservation is a serious matter. Not to worry, though, the butt of the joke is not the beloved commentator, but rather humanity: by the end of the documentary we are put in our rightful place relative to our pony overlords in the hierarchy of the animal kingdom.

TThe Angel with One Wing
It was Cozy Glow's first Nightmare Night in Ponyville. She had picked the ideal costume to represent her and she would spend the night with her new, best friends: The Cutie Mark Crusaders. And maybe, she could even find her second wing.

1st Place:

TDoubt Itself
They're supposed to be inspiring, Sunset's stories of ponies with familiar names and faces. But to Cozy Glow, her other self is a warning she's grimly taken to heart. Too bad about the whispers still in her head. And the urges.

Oh cozy
I think of her as Really evil but anyone can be reformed with enough time

Apologies for the delay - had to bust out some fiction of my own (I only have a modest amount of brainpower left and can have but one thing going at a time, nowadays). I'm rereading yours at the moment, and plan to have both done by the holidays.

Poke poke.

No reviews for the 2nd and 1st place entries yet, eh? I understand. December is a busy time of year.

Still, I do hope they get written and posted relatively soon. Like Cozy herself, I'm a grubby little glutton for attention.

OOF I didn't win or get runner-up. Oh well, everyone else did a great job and the competition was too strong with this one. XD

It's a wonderful day to be Cozy.

One hour left to go for Annual Contest #3! Lots of submissions this year.

It must warm a little filly's heart to have so many dedicated storytelling friends.

Sure - that would count as an AU story.

Hello I have a question and it's tearing me up. Can I make two separate stories about Cozy being born to a unicorn family with Luster dawn as her sister if every character in the stories do entirely different things?

For one story it's the main focus and the other It's more in the background with a different Protagonist.

You mean like, ask someone to write a story that you have an idea for?

Question: Is it possible to request a story?

Keeping them alive could have also provided a good moral. You all saw how they were acting towards each other; their relationship wasn't all that healthy despite being friends. If they weren't turned to stone, they could have split up and gone their own separate ways, saying "Hey, not all friendships are good" which would have been a very mature moral to end on.
