First things first- I don't own My Little Pony, and furthermore, I would just like to add that I don't understand why I have to write this here, but I've been told that it's the 'proper' way to do things. Something about getting sued? And we all know that noone wants that, poor college students least of all.

This was started as the response to a challenge which was posted last November by North Star and Sparkler and I stumbled upon in February. I found the challenges interesting and humorous, so I thought I'd try to 'give it the old college try' and 'win this one for the Gipper' and any other mysterious quotes you feel like tossing in that parents are always quoting and no one in our generation REALLY understands.

This is my first fanfic of ANY sort. I am tired of reading fiction where the hero and heroine fall in love and live happily ever after. I am tired of stories that would fit well into any third grader's library. And finally, I am VERY tired of stories that don't deal with the commonplace things in life. Why a badly made robot? Why not? It's funny. It's light. There's angst, there's comedy, (perhaps in too large a dose for some to handle) there might be romance eventually. There are, sadly, no occurences of FIERY CHIPMUNK DEATH, as I am NOT that Nova. That's another writer, who's name I have totally forgotten, but nonetheless very skilled. If you like comedy, you should go read 'The Attack of Lord Fluffypants' immediately. Let me rephrase that- immediately AFTER you read and review Housekeeping.

Speaking of reading and reviewing, you should A) read my story, B) review my story, and C) enjoy doing both of these things. I am quite open to critiscism, constructive or not, as long as you are respectful, I'll gladly take into consideration the things you say.

Enjoy!
