As mentioned in the puzzle, names of Ship cards and Goals achieved are not important to the puzzle, so we've left them out.

Pinkamena's power is used to discard Bulk Biceps from the grid.
After removing all cards disconnected from Fanfic Author Twilight, we are left with a five-by-five square.

At the end of the game, there is a five-by-five grid of ponies, each with a number on it. Indexing the number into each pony's name gives BALTIMORE CONVENTION CENTER, the home of BronyCon (RIP BronyCon, 2011-2019).
Authors Notes
Welcome to the puzzle that's 80% meme and 20% puzzle. I knew that no matter what, this hunt needed to have a Secret Shipfic Folder puzzle. The game was too ridiculous to skip, and the idea of forcing solvers to explain they were solving a pony conundrum based on a My Little Pony shipping card game sounded really funny.
For the puzzle to work, I needed solvers to read a bunch of rules and a bunch of cards, which was already asking a lot, so I figured I would lean into it and make the TSSSF puzzle a konundrum. That way, people could either get into it, or ditch it for backsolves.
For extraction, I considered using the Ship cards or Goal cards, and I'm sure there's a way to make it work, but during construction I found it easier to track just the Pony cards. I tried to use as few Pony cards as possible, but as shown in the solution, I needed a few extra Swap powers to get every pony shipped properly. I wonder if shipfic writers have similar problems.
In retrospect, I could have made the puzzle answer BRONYCON, since it fits the meta constraint, is more clearly thematic, and allows for a shorter puzzle. On the other hand, it would have been slightly ambiguous, because BronyCon was first held in New York City before moving to Baltimore.
This puzzle was written after Applejack's Game was finished, so I made sure this included two Appleloosa ponies, Bloomberg and Braeburn, as a meta-confirmation of MLP knowledge across puzzles.
