Fanfiction Review: Adventures in Equestria.

Creator: Hewy Toonmore.

Number of episodes: Two at the moment.

Type of fan fiction: My little pony, Fantasy, Comedy.

Story: In a kingdom far, far away lives a young wizard in training named Mezmo. He wish is to become the court magician for the royal family but he has difficulty with casting some spells. One day, Mezmo is summoned to the royal palace where the king and queen said that in order to proceed further with his magic studies, he must travel to a far off country called Equestria. Where he must seek out a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle who will be able to teach him what he needs to know. So Mezmo (along with his two friends Nikola and Lian) sets out to find Equestria and Twilight Sparkle in order to proceed further with his magic training.

My top ten Urban Legends 2.

No 10: The mad butcher.
This tells the story of a local friendly butcher who is going out of business (the reason varies from story to story). He is desperate to get customers and would do anything to get them. That changed when he accidently kills someone (either a criminal who had broken into his shop to steal or a family member after a long and savage argument). The butcher didn't know how to get rid of the body so he then cuts it up and grinds the meat into mince which he uses to make sausages. The sausages became a hit and the butcher was back in business. But in order to keep up with the demands, he begins killing people (mainly homeless people) and cutting the meat into either sausages, mince, or steaks. Things when on like that for years until the butcher was found out. Either one of his victims wasn't properly killed and had escaped or someone had witnessed him restocking his larder. But whatever the case, the butcher was chased and then caught by an angry lynch mob. His punishment also varies from story to story. With some saying that he was either hanged or been minced alive.

No 9: The body under the bed.
A couple arrive at a hotel for their honeymoon. They were taken to their prepaid room. But when they arrived, they were greeted by a horrible smell. It was so bad that they asked the cleaning staff to try and get rid of it. But no matter how hard the cleaning staff tried, the smell just wont go away. Finally the manager came to see what the fuss was about. He then discovered that the source of the smell was coming from under the mattress.

No 8: Exploding toilets.

He then uses the bathroom and lights a cigarette. But with no where else to dispose of the lit match, he throws it in the toilet. And wakes up at the hospital three days later in a body cast.

No 7: The Halloween decoration.
It is Halloween and everyone is enjoying the celebrations. The town of which the story takes place was over decorated with Halloween props. One of them was ,at first glance, a dummy hanging on a branch of a tree by its neck at a corner of the road. nobody knew who put it there but it was declared the best decoration of this year by the town's mayor for how realistic it looks.

No 6: The new dress.

This one tells of two men finding a barrel of wine in a abandoned house. So they decided to take it home and sell the contents for some money.

No 2: The dead animal in the suitcase.

After some time putting up with this, the woman decides to abandon the car and goes after her husband. When she does, she finds her husband's severed head sitting on the roof of the car. As she is reeling from shock, she bumps into the axe wielding killer.
