    Hah. God this made me laugh. I saw the Title and thought, Nooo... It can't be... And then.. The authors. Five Stars for sheer spectacularity.

    Now we need a version for Pegasi becoming Alicorns, and a version for Earth Ponies becoming Alicorns, and maybe a version for otherwise normal parents raising their newborn Alicorn.

    It was good and the idea is nice, but doesn't this fall under the category of a type of "manual" which aren't allowed to be posted anymore? I mean a guide is just another word for manual.

    An informative piece, but comedy? The Alicorn Virus is no laughing matter. Hundreds of ponies have to be put down every year, spirited away from their lives and families in the dead of night, before the transformation can reach its full potential. I mean, can you imagine the havoc if it spread? Divinity running rampant, deities everywhere, the world being shaped and reshaped by the slightest whim of its inhabitants...

    Don't think I'm exaggerating when I say "the slightest whim", either. Before Princess Celestia had learned to control her new powers, somepony with more sense of humor than sense slipped a sea pony into her bathtub as a prank. Now there are no sea ponies. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about the dangers of uncontrolled godhood.

    Hahahahaha, man... I'm just going to go ahead and add this to my little view of the FIM-verse.  Celestia keeps a copy of this on her bookshelf, and any stories involving Twilight turning into an Alicorn would probably go so much simpler if she just asked Celestia right away if there was a book on the subject.

    >>212961 I'll admit I hesitated to submit this for that very reason, but what I was attempting was to write a fictional nonfiction pamphlet if such a thing makes sense. I decided to write the type of text twilight herself would search for in this situation. The Manuals were written with humans in mind, telling them how to use their "units" (haha double entendre) What I was trying to write here was intended for the reading of fictional characters. I could I suppose have framed it within a story but since the story would largely consist of "Spike! I have wings! help me research this!" followed by "Oh thank Celestia, I have ruled out x y and z, now to go to canterlot for my further studies/political coup" it would not have made much of a story. Knightly seems to concur since he approved the submission.

    I cringe every time I read about how alicorns have to deal with the issue of immortality. This one is funny, but the part where you write about immortality makes me actually sad.

    And now I finally know why living forever is actually a terrible thing, and why many powerful immortal beings in fiction/games/movies often go completely out of mind.

    Glad you remembered Earth Pony strength. Given the things Twilight canonically survived up until now... Of course, if you take into consideration Pinkie's clairvoyance (a clear Unicorn trait) and Fluttershy's unnatural rapport with beasts (a traditional Earth Pony ability), all the mane six could be proto-Alicorns...

    >>216408 I was going for a complete omnibus of fanonically accepted Alicorn traits yes, I only left out "Equestria's Twilight" that version flies in the face of all others, in that the process is a slow change taking decades, and somehow involves organ duplication. That and wings ripping out of your back after trying to grow for years just sounds unpleasant and very unlikely to be something our poor twilight could sleep soundly through.

    You know, it occurs to me that someone should write a fic where a different Pony wake-up as an Alicorn... I recall precisely one none Twilight Pony-becomes-Alicorn-fic (it was Rainbow Dash) but outside of that... what about the others? How would Rarity or Fluttershy react?
