Less is More
Short stories about many different things, serving as both a vent and future inspiration.
In my time creating stories, I’ve come up with tons of ideas I simply don’t have the time nor the motivation to make a full story out of.
Some of those ideas are hardly even conducive to the concept, and are best explored in a short story with only themselves to show, rather than as part of something that would dilute them.
So, here, I will be posting much shorter stories that focus on something rather specific, meant in some level to vent my pent-up ideas as well as to serve as future inspiration to both myself and anyone else who wishes to read them.
Chapter list:
- Panic: Twilight Sparkle experiences yet another instance of nearly falling into panic before a school test.
- Patience: Fluttershy heads outside after a long day to meet her only friend that has the patience to wait for her.
- Breathe: Princess Luna has just returned from her Moon, and finds the sensations so many don’t even register as painful beyond compare.
- Fire & Rain: Tianhuo experiences the odd and calming nature of rain, while Autumn Blaze rejoices in its beauty.
- Travel: Trixie reflects on the many sights and cultures she has seen on her travels, and asks herself why others keep themselves from doing the same.
- Altitude: Lightning Dust explains to Rainbow Dash what the ramifications of going quickly between the surface and a cloud city really are. (The slightest of profanity warnings here)

- Ego & Effort: Tianhuo has a stern talk with Rainbow Dash about how little effort she puts into her crafts, and just how much she thinks she deserves in comparison.

- Peace & Mania: High Heel watches her marefriend, Mane-iac, sleep, and finds herself unable to understand how anyone else can’t find her beautiful.
