As March comes to a close it’s time to announce the winners of Everfree Northwest’s 2014 Pre-Con fanfiction contest!
In third place is The Revelation of a King by Tidal.
Synopsis: Sombra is sentenced to eternity in “The Pit”, the pony prison of Tartarus. He cared not for anypony and only wished to return to the Crystal Empire and regain his throne. However when introduced to an unusual thing, he begins to feel his heart softened as it was many years ago.
Though in Tartarus, friendship does not last forever, and the more you try and remember it… the more you forget it.
In second place is Tarnish by KitsuneRisu.
Synopsis: Silver Spoon is a mean little kid. But maybe all it takes for somepony to change her is something as simple as a utensil.
In first place is Broken Gladiator by BronyWriter. Bronywriter had also applied, and was recently accepted, to be a panelist at Everfree Northwest 2014.
Synopsis: The Power Ponies are coming again.
Another escape from custody, another scheme to take over Maretropolis, and another chance for the Power Ponies to defeat her. Such is the cycle that Mane-iac has endured for as long as she can remember.
And she’s sick of it. She’s sick of all of it. Now on the cusp of one more battle with her nemeses, she can only think of how much she has sacrificed for the city in her battles against the Power Ponies, and how much more she can take.
The winner of the Community Choice (Herd Choice) patch is Reformation by Regidar with 267 votes.
Synopsis: Discord has been reformed for quite some time now, and so far, everything seems to be going fine.
Fluttershy doesn’t think so, however, so she sets off to talk to him.
After all, what are friends for?
