"I hereby call the first meeting of the For The Plot Book Club to order," Twilight Sparkle said.

Five mares shifted in place, a sheaf of papers before them. They were in the restricted wing of the Canterlot Royal Library and would not be bothered. One the top of the pages everypony had written was a title, a name, and a list of things involved.

Twilight turned her attention on one mare in particular—the one who'd started this little club with her. "Moon Dancer. I think everypony is aware of your work. You have something new for us?"

"Speak for Mistress, by Darkest Moon. My story contains submission, gags, toys, a little whipping, and training. It—" Moon Dancer had to cut herself off. She and Twilight had agreed in advance how the presentations would go, and the warnings were all that was needed.

"Place it before you," Twilight Sparkle said. "Minuette?"

Already wanting to read Moon Dancer's new work, Minuette almost missed on her name being called. "Oh! Right. Womb of the Hive, by Hivemistress. Forced submission, changeling sex both male and female—with egg insertion. It's a bit of a bad ending, so you might want to bail before thing—" Like Moon Dancer, Minuette realized she was rambling. She was nervous as she placed her own few pages forward.

"Lyra Heartstrings?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Forever Bred, by The Hand," Lyra said, and tried not to giggle at her pseudonym. "You'll be captured by diamond dogs, turned into a horny bitch, and fucked until you are pregnant." She stopped herself before she continued.

"Please put it before you," Twilight Sparkle said. "Lemon Hearts?"

"Freedom, by The Queen. You are a young mare in the Storm King's slavepits. You ascend to alicornhood when you stand up for yourself, and then you take control. I hope you enjoy!" Lemon Hearts slid her papers forward.

"Nightmare's Brood, by Restrained Power," Twinkleshine said. "Transformed into a bat pony and sent by Nightmare Moon to the breeding pits." She bit her lip, wondering if she should say more, but decided against it and slid her papers forward.

"Losing to Darkness, by Loss." Twilight Sparkle pushed her own papers forward. "A powerful stallion takes over Equestria, and you can't do anything to stop him from claiming it or you." A shiver of excitement ran from the tip of Twilight's horn to the end of her dock—all the stories sounded interesting to her, and in the interests of being completely fair she had refrained from testing her own.

Clearing her throat more for her own benefit, Twilight Sparkle leaned her head forward and cast Binders Book Binding spell. The pages floated up as she added each to the primary matrix, then at last she fudged the secondary matrix—normally used on whatever binding you wanted to use—and fueled the spell with raw magic instead (something princesses and powerful unicorns could get away with).

The swirling purple light faded, and a single, thin booklet sat in the middle of the table. Twilight warmed up her horn for the second spell. Book duplication was almost the same as making books, and again Twilight just fudged half the spell with extra power rather than actual ingredients.

This time, when Twilight's magic faded, there was six copies of the book. The first page within each was the spell Twilight and Moon Dancer had built. Making spells was not a hugely complicated process, unless specific things needed to be done, or a pony's life was altered in significant ways. The Hayscarts' Method version 3 spell would eat up to a day of a pony's time (some compression was possible, particularly if the author was clever at writing time-skips) and leave them with no physical or magical changes—all they could bring from the book they entered was their experience. The spells could be canceled early, and not only was there spell-caster restrictions, but also targets. Only the six mares present could use the spells.

"Is that it?" Lyra asked.

"Don't forget, girls, we bring feedback of each story, and meet again in a month. The next meeting will be longer, of course, because we will discuss what we liked and didn't like," Twilight Sparkle said. "Don't forget to have fun."

A round of giggles filled the room as each mare took her booklet and made for the exit. Twilight Sparkle took her copy last, and shivered in excitement.
