In the first season we start off almost every episode with Twilight and Spike, by season 8 you hardly see her.
You watch the other pony's on missions while she stay at the Castel to "watch it/take care of it"? What happened?
Was Twilight not doing well with marketing? Because she doesn't even feel like a main character anymore, she's just shoved to the side and used as a device to give the other ponies missions
(she's gets almost as much screen time as prices celestia it feels like)
Starlight seems to have replaced her as main character. Anyone have any clue why they did that?
So apparently, Celestia has been imprisoned into the moon for years and the night is everlasting. Logically, all of Equestria should be a barren frozen wasteland since we need sun to grow and keep the Earth warm yet not only does everything in the Lunaverse seem normal, the mention of a "tourist" and "castle viewings" means there's a functioning society within the Lunaverse, but this shouldn't be possible because if there was an everlasting night, everything would die within a few months, so what's going on?
So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (February 13th, 2020) today, you know what that means...
It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!
Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):
Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.
Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.
Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!
PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget.
IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.
Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!
This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. Every week these two threads will be posted at alternate times.
Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.

Let's say not long after Twilight Sparkle takes the throne, Celestia gives her a folder labeled something like "Top Secret: National Security." What kind of things would Twilight find in the folder?
Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!
Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!
If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!
But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.
If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:
>!It has ponies!!<
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread here!!!!!
Scenario
In the future, Twilight still looks young and healthy, having never physically aged out of her early 20s.
Her friends, however, have aged normally. They are all very old, with wrinkles and white manes. They have all outlived Granny Smith and lived to see their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, protégés and businesses flourish.
Most of them are still there mentally and physically (within reason: Rainbow Dash has long retired and Applejack doesn't do the farm work anymore. Even Pinkie Pie is more "cheerful grandma" rather than the quick-reflexed mare she was in her prime), but it's clear that this is near the end.
When Rarity becomes too weak to come to the annual meetings, Twilight decides to see if there is a way to turn her friends young again as she realizes that they don't have much time.
She discovers a magic potion that can turn an old pony back into a young pony. Without Discord (who was destroyed in a battle against Typhon decades prior), the hunt to gather the ingredients is tough, but Twilight prevails.
She goes to each friend and tells them what she has. There is enough for all of them, as well as their spouses, children and even grandchildren when they get older.
She's even studying how to make more ingredients so that this can even be mass-produced and no one in Equestria ever has to grow old and die.
Would Twilight's friends drink the potion? What would they think about her plans to make Equestria a land of functional immortals?

Welcome one and all to Thursday, the day that marks the next round of
All you got to do is post a fanfiction, be it a scene, short story or even just an idea!
If you want to post something, just post it!
If you want to write something, but have no clue where to start, try an idea! Look at the previous weeks' posts for more ideas! There's a lot of potential going back nowadays! And don't worry about quality, just do it what you want to write!
Too many words for one post? 10,000 characters is the reddit size max. Split it up with a self reply chain, or just link to pastebin or wherever it is!
Now that you're primed, it's time to write at the next level!
Bonus Round: Go Beyond, Plus Ultra! Show us our little ponies powering up far past their limits to achieve a new level!
P.S. Last Week, it's all about food, deliveries, and temporal anomalies...
In celebration of Valentine's Day, let's post the most ungrounded relationships you can get your hands on. Lyra and Applejack? Check. Twilight and Zephyr Breeze? Sure, why not. Celestia and Optimus Prime? Abso-freaking-lutely. Go nuts.
As a general reminded this is not official in any way, shape, or form.
Also some people don't like seeing the sub flooded with tagged images like [Crackship Day] so let's try not tagging things tomorrow and see what things are like (feel free to leave feedback below).
