I'm willing to bet that a lot of Bronies would love to visit the land of Equestria; if only to see it. I sorta got that wish... instead I find myself in a human variant of it known as Arcania in the Krystal Kingdom. Not that I'm complaining of course, the day I got raptured over here was a College day anyway.
(My first foray into fan fiction and probably my only one, let me know what you think and how I can improve! Unsure about the rating, I'll leave it teen for now. I eventually plan to turn this into an Epic, so hopefully my storytelling skills will improve significantly before then. Also I use a lot of pictures in my story to offset my sucky descriptive skills, so props to the artists and what not!)

Why a humanized story?
2561380 Personally I think that they are rather sparse on this site; I only know of 4 fully human equestria stories .That and injecting a little humanity into the story makes it easier for me to write.
2565236 molto grazie!
Lovely. I like the world you've created with this story. Its the first time I've ever liked a humanized story so you should know you've done well: pinkiesmile:
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you! You're too kind :) I'll do everything in my power to make sure I keep pumping out decent chapters.
I like the world you're making here. It feels RPG'ish, if you know what I mean. And the one thing I like in adventure stories is good world building.
You have yourself a fave my good sir.
Well, this is getting more interesting...
3087586 That's most gracious of you, and to quote Shakespeare on the RPG feel 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.'
I find myself loving this story. There's no cliche HiE tropes in here whatsoever. (Well, at least as far as I could tell). It's fresh, unique and no 'wake up in the Everfree forest and live in Ponyville' kind of thing in here.
And also the romance with Daring Do. Can't find much fics about that either.
3091742 Yeah I've never really been one to adhere to the current trends. And really? I've seen quite a few, 'I can't help' isn't a bad one and that Daring is similar in some aspects to mine. Either way the next chapter is on the way!
I found this story and decided to give it a shot. I can say that im not disappointed, it is different thats for sure and is indepth with the build up. You got yourself a fav my good sir
3092837 Why thank you! I am most grateful for all the support :)
I have to agree with MaroonIllustrator, this story is completely original. I love this story and cant wait to see more
Dude, skydiving= awesome sauce.
3174643 Indeed it does! North Shore is the best place for it in my honest opinion
Very nicely done. I like the way you didn't turn this into a song fic by placing ten songs in one chapter. Like some other stories I've glanced at.
Its perfectly fine to put music or songs into stories but not to the point of being 80% song to 20% story like some others have done. The same can be said about the pictures as well. You've done really well in picking photos very specifically instead of generally relying on them to paint the scenery or moment. Bonus points for you. 
Enjoyed the chapter very much and can't wait for the next part of this exciting tale. Keep up the good work!!
Always Classy. Like a sir.

P.S. This story should have way more views then this!!! Seriously, I don't understand how my story is so popular and yet this piece of wonderful fiction is not. It baffles me.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
Great chapter, mate!

Awesome, this chapter made my day. Can't wait for more.
Links in the authors notes don't work for me. You give me a link? And hurry up and get those new chapters out.
A cloud of smoke and he appears
A master of Surprise
Who's that cunning mind behind
That shadowy Disguise....
Yeah you are awesome.
Can't wait for the next chapter!!

P.S. I understand fully about the power of procrastination.
More than you think...
3301331 Try highlighting the link and right clicking, then click on the open link in new tab and it should do it. That's how mine works anyway...
3301884 Glad to see that I was missed. I'll be sure to devote some of my university off-time on Tuesdays to typing out more of this convoluted craziness
lol i would have a break down if i was gary stu - ed as well
3302051 That's my problem. On me phone.
3313676 Ah... well in that case I suppose you'd either have to type in the full link manually or just google image Octavia morning coffee and it should be the fifth link on the right... you'll know it when you see it! Heck, much of my inspiration comes from just happening upon pictures like those and then my strange imagination does the rest.
UPDATE! YES!
For some reason I feel that my vocabulary is increasing at an indubitibly fast pace, my good sir.
'Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?'
3349625 The ground was calling my name, it's seductive charm acting like a magnet, the only barrier between it and myself was 14,000 feet of nothing but air. With an adventurous spark in my heart, I took the plunge into the Sky Blue aether... the closest thing to flying I've ever experienced. You should try it sometime!
Correction. Good chapter is Good.

3351213>>3351213 You really think so?
I felt like a blindfolded manatee pounding on the keyboard with its flippers could have made a better exposition chapter.
is this a monogamy type world or one that accepts polygamy
3384875 A mix of both I'd say, a skewed gender ratio means that it's considered socially acceptable for more than one union to be made. (Although my character currently has no idea of this)
may... may i please have the permission to start shipping him with certain females in the story then?
oh and whats up with the super muddled emotions, no offence im just confused because is he just that cool and collected or is it some sort of plotpoint?
3384953 To your first question, what are you aiming to do? Make a spin-off of sorts? If so, then you have my blessing. And as for the muddled emotions of my character and how he doesn't react like your average person, its partially because he's a firm believer in stoicism to the point of almost appearing apathetic and partly because there's enough drama surrounding him that he doesn't feel the need to add to it. Why do I write him like this? Well let's just say I write who I know best...
How does this fic still have so few up votes?!? Its criminal I tell ya.
3385090 Nah its all good, recognition is just a result. I write this so you fine people can enjoy reading it
3385122
And boy do I enjoy them!!
Congrats on hitting 100K!!!
~8chill
3385136 Thank you my good sir! Plenty more to come in the future....just after midterms are done
3385005 i will never touch the idea of a spin-off, there is no possible way i could be as elegant or precise in the demeanor of each character i was just saying may i have your permission to view the emotional match-ups as i please
3385172 You are free to perceive the characters interactions with each other however you please.
3385193 >w> my two hopes so far:
major : celestia x zenith x daring
^- seems plausible
minor : luna x octavia x zenith
^- deliciously dramatic due to scorned daring and celestia
3385209 Oh God
, if my character got involved with either Princess the Stu-ification would be complete and he'd officially melt down into a pool of hysterical jelly. (Sugar free of course!)
3385232 well it might be stu-ified but hey, they might need to breed trifects, and his interactions so far with celestia are ... endearing in a very strange way.
although when i think major i think of a morning adventure in a Savannah, when i think of the minor i think of a moonlit concerto near a lake
3385263 Goodness, offspring are the last thing on my character's mind. He still has to fully establish himself in the big crazy world he finds himself in. (Although that's not to say I won't toy with the idea of placing him in an incredibly evocative situation with either Princess and having him react accordingly)
3385290 YES!
and that's all i have ta say bout that
oh right anyways thanks for clearing up my few questions and talking to me nightziez!
I will say this once. LET HIM MEET DISCORD!!!!!! That is all.
3385510 All things in good time, gotta ruminate on how to write a good bureaucratic chaotic trickster
