if you try hard enough, any prompt can be about butts.

Seeing how the prompt this time is "Here at the End of all Things", you don't even have to try too hard.

Nice. My only suggestion would be to extend the drawing period a little bit. In the last round I had to read quite fast to find a story which inspired me enough to draw something, two days into the event, I'd only read a third of the entries, and had to choose one to start drawing. More time would let the artists read more entries, thus increasing the chances of finding a story which will get the juices flowing.

Poni!
Also art!

OH MY GOD
My prompt won. It's been several years, and I didn't think it would happen.
Now I have to participate.

THE DISCOVERY - A Young Six Writing Contest

...
Well, there will always be other contests.

I'll try my hand at a few mash-ups. They seem fun.

Death by Lamia: Princess Celestia grows tired of Blueblood's irreprehensible behaviour and incontrolable urges, and in an effort to give him a taste of his own medicine, he arranges him to seduce a mythical creature. Contains sensible material regarding murder, sexual abuse, and eating disorders.

At the Wake of Dawn: Starlight wakes up and can't make head or tails of her own thought process. Deeming these thoughts not fit to share with the rest of Equinity, she decides to exile herself. Monologues, regrets, divisive literary choices.

Cutiesugi: When a filly appears having lost her cutie mark, Pinkie Pie, Spike and Apple Bloom decide to paint her a new one. Mystery, Introspective analysis of the worth of the individual, Arts and Crafts tips.

Room Enough For Wub: Vinyl Scratch summons an echo of Starswirl's mind through an accident involving her turntable and a bottle of wine. They both bond and share happy times together. High-level magic, bogus tunes, questionable ethics, heart-warming romance.

Let's see if I can do this right. Mashup Time!

For The Luna, Upon the Silva - Drying Paint may be shy and a bit of a loser, but he's determined to conquer the heart of Princess Luna, but will she enjoy this unassuming unicorn's penchant for freeverse?

Don't Leave Me With Garmonbozia - Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash embark on a journey into Sunset's subconscious mind to face their worst fears. Unfortunately, they both fell asleep while watching Twin Peaks reruns. Will they be able to defeat the accursed nightmare creature and keep their sanity? !tuo dnif ot ni erutnev ot evah ll'uoY

A Hurtful Spectrum - In her quest to achieve absolute colourness, Rarity asks Discord for help, only for her perception of reality to be altered beyond her equestrian bounds.

Familiar Violet - When Rainbow Dash's uncle dies, she orders a replacement from Cel-Est Iea

Blackmail Quest! - Down on the dumps, the Sirens resort to blackmail Limestone Pie out of her bra money, only to get a kick in the butt as payment. (Hosted off-site on Twilight's livejournal account.)

Hey, it's been less than a day and all stories have at least one review.
Hooray!
