Chrysalis would be the boss of a mafia that specializes in identity theft?

Edit: Dang, beaten to the punch!

I think I'd go with honesty - that's the one I can relate to, at most. All of them - save Friendship - appeal to me, though.

Wooo, congratulations!

But I feel bad there wasn't a pun with the New Sigh Order.

I don't know about McDonalds, but I'll expect him to get sued for infringement over having rounded corners.

An' where would we be without rules? Anarchy and chaos, that's where, an' we have no need to have things as if Discord was in charge ...again.

"finaly some real competition,though It escapes Trixie how being Royalty would help one in a drinking contest" says trixie as she drinks the 4th cider mug 
"not even a princess can stand between me and my magic lessons"

"Nope, but having to use the bathroom might. You have to run alll the way down to it, whereas teleportation..." she held up her mug and disappeared and reappeared before it even had a chance to start falling.

Princess Luna Lands her mane shimmering around her. 

" Dost the one know as Trixie thinkest she can compete with Equestrian royalty?! "  

Princess Luna winks slyly as she downs a mug of cider and returns to her normal voice. 

Starlight smirked at her. "You tell me, princess. Last I heard,", she downed her mug, "this was a free kingdom."

"When a man's partner's killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner, and you're supposed to do something about."

I think it's the Maltese Falcon? It sounds a lot like the monologue Bogart gives at the end.

"You're lying! He's not a slave and you're not traders. He doesn't carry himself like a slave! Look at the way he stands... probably ex-military. Akrennian traders always threaten before they ask a favor, it's tradition. And your robes are made out of bedspreads!"

What would Starlight think of Napoleon from Animal Farm.

She'd probably denounce him subverting the idea equality. However, it's not impossible that, given time, she might have deluded herself into the same mindset.

Actually, I think Starlight running the old village of = cutie marks is more like 1984 by George Orwell.

Hnmmm, I doubt it? It doesn't rely on external conflict or manufactured scapegoats.

Well, it's mentioned in the rules that we may discourage Readers reading their own literature if it becomes a problem, but it isn't a hard and fast rule. Prior to this in MLPF, I used to help out with a very similar event and two of the readers were notorious about ignoring their recommended readings for their own stories. Suffice to say, they were terrific readers but poor writers and we ended up losing a lot of viewership over it. For now, it -should- be fine. But we'll have to constantly evaluate as these get more popular. 

Yeah, that definitely sounds like a possible issue. One way that might be helped would be to have the story vetted by a moderator beforehand, but I have a vague suspicion that might have been tried originally as well?

A Kingdom of Seasons? An actual new kingdom? Well, that definitely cinched her decision on where to move next. Except... she had no idea where it might even be, or how to get to it and there was at least one pony here who definitely needed some help and encouragement. And if that pony needed a helpful and well-intentioned advisor and confidant, well, then...

No! She smacked herself internally. Bad Sweet Comfort!  No trying to influence history on Equestrian scale! Especially not after last time!

A moment and an equally internal eyeroll at herself later, she gave Thanos a gentle smile and slight bow. "No apologies are necessary, I assure you." She raised her hoof and gestured at the gathered ponies, around and behind her. "I am positive that you will find all ponies in Equestria to be as welcoming and friendly as you might possibly wish." As she turned her head away from Thanos to face the ponies to her sides, there was a slightly different expression on her face - one that said, with no words necessary, "or else". She wasn't imposing, she certainly wasn't powerful, but she knew well the power of a well-honed authoritarian glare. She trusted her fellow ponies with it, in all honesty, but crowds, sadly, weren't always very bright or as friendly as the ponies they composed them were.

With seven billion and counting... I'd say the odds are pretty good!

Oooh, nice art! Also, nice totes-not-evil sassycorn!

That does raise a question - what would be the proper etiquette if one feels like reading out a story of their own?

Drat, I missed her. Guess I'm stuck being friendless.

Hey, don't worry, you're in a super friend-packed place!

I mean, not me personally, I'm terrible at the whole friends thing, but someone, I'm positive!

Sweet Comfort was halfway down the street when she noticed the commotion and the gathering crowd. She didn't have much to do left - she closed up her office, her clients were doing well, her packing was finished, and the only thing left to do was to choose. Canterlot was a nice place to stay for a while, and the years she spent here were enjoyable, both for the city and the people in it, but the itch to travel, no, to move was getting harder and harder to ignore over these last months. She wasn't bored, anything but - but the world was big, and getting bigger, and there was so much to see that the thought of not experiencing more of it made her a little sad. Time and place - in a way, even if she stayed in the same place, time would still make it change, but stay there, and she wouldn't notice. She considered Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, maybe even just swing back to Port Seabiscuit. Unannounced, of course. She smirked to herself. It would only be fair payback to her parents, though she did hope she wouldn't walk in on some of the things they caught her in in her youth.

She gently pushed her way to the front of the crowd, her curiosity not so much getting the better of her but consisting most of it when public events were concerned, and looked at the two ponies in front of her. She could see they were uncomfortable, their body language radiating unease like... she never could find a word for it. Coming to a familiar home to find another family living there. Still, there was also the sense of self-control, the tensing kept in check.

She blinked, the other features snapping into focus. Horns, wings... they were alicorns. Well, that certainly helped explain the crowd, even if it did bring so many other delightful questions.

"...meet with Princesses Luna and Celestia. Is there anypony that can point us in their direction?"

And that would chalk up another one to the list. She imagined that everypony in Equestria would know where the two Princesses lived and ruled from. She wondered if they had memory loss, but that seemed... unlikely. They seemed ill at ease with one thing, not with all of them.

"That's easy, miss, " she said in a friendly voice, taking care to keep condescension out of her tone - in everyday life, it was all too easy to sound mocking instead of helpful, especially when somepony was feeling uneasy. "It's the palace right over here, " she pointed to the shining castle built into the cliffside. "Although you may need to make an appointment to see the Princesses?" At least I would've had to, she grumbled under her breath. She was still a little bitter about that.

An interesting idea to say the least. If anyone were to try and read my stories out loud to others, they'd be here for the next six months or so due to how long they are.

Hey, at least you wrote more than one.

{or, y'know, that's what I infer}

Actually, here's a different question - do they have to be live readings?

Do you prefer Advanced RP which requires higher post limits or do you want simple so that posts can be shorter? I am trying to get a feel for what people like before I post. Once I hear from the others ill kick us off. 

I'm fine with short posts, but I'd like to reserve the right to get rambly and introspective.
