Every single year, The Canterlot Herald hosts a storytelling competition, a contest among Equestrian writers to see who’s considered the best in narrative writing. For the past decade, it’s also been a chance for other ponies to see who deserves to have their stories published and distributed from our firm. With the top prize being a guaranteed one-year publishing contract, the competitiveness among authors can be fierce and cutthroat. This is my record of this year's competition.

This story is based upon ideas I've conceptualized, but never actually written do to their sensitive natures.

Warning: The subjects written within this story might be sensitive to some readers who struggle with cancer, murder, depression, suicide, or death. Please note, this story isn't written around or based upon those matters. They are just example subjects addressed within the narrative. Reader's discretion is advised.
