Introduction

This is a series of fan-produced stories written about the characters and universe presented in Dakari-King Mykan's long-running fanfiction, My Brave Pony: Star Fleet Magic. The primary purpose is to ask: what if? Some characters see very little screen time, whereas others are often given a fairly straightforward purpose in the plot. There's only so much time in the official series, so these must go unanswered there. This series, then, puts the spotlight on characters and concepts perpetually out-of-focus, to present our answers to the mystery.

Episodes A and B: What if Starla loved somepony other than Lightning Dawn? This two-parter, set between episodes four and five of Star Fleet Magic II, examines the relationships between Starla and other members of the cast, both good and bad.

Episode C: Whatever happened to Cookie Dough? In the first draft of Star Fleet Magic, entitled "Magic is Believing," Cookie Dough was a major character, but his appearances were cut down for Star Fleet Magic. Where did he go? What was he doing all that time? And, did anyone notice?

Episode D: What is the weather like in United-Equestria? The planet of Unicornucopia existed in an endless spring-like state. By comparison, Equestria had the standard rotation of seasons, ensured by the efforts and magic of its residents. This episode tells the tale of a new planet, and its new seasons.

Episode E: What if a pony doesn't like his or her name? Little is ever stated about how a pony acquires his or her name, or the coincidence of how the names so often perfectly match their cutie marks. But what of a world without cutie marks? Where do the names come from, and can they be changed?

Episode F: What did Celestia do after Celesto's departure? In episode nineteen of Star Fleet Magic, the Grand Ruler's backstory is introduced, including his relationship with Princess Celestia. We know what he did about her absence, but how did she react to his loss?
