I'm not one of the beautiful people.

The legendary Nigel Thornberry is brought to Equestria by unknown forces and now must rely on the help from the ponies to return home, however circumstances and fate might have other plans.

Obligatory first story warning.

This is a story idea I've had in my head for awhile and I've finally motivated myself into writing it.

is his family gonna be in this from his daughters, son and wife as well as there primate friend in this story i think he would miss them terribly he a family man with a heart of gold~!

You didn't name the first chapter anything with the words 'smashing' 'poppet' or 'BLALALALARGH' in it. This story isn't cool. :duck:

All joking aside, I feel somewhat sad; stories like this should be done more humorously, and Nigel totally should have jumped up and 'blalarghled' and scared the jibblies out of them. :rainbowlaugh:

WAIT! I CAN WRITE! SORT OF!

Maybe another time. :trixieshiftright:

I was never a fan of the show, but the concept of this story does seem quite interesting as I have never seen a crossover with the wild thornberries (I think that's the name of the show, forgive me if it isn't). I can't find any major problems beside the fact that it seems slightly rushed. However, I wish to make one grammar point: when a character says something, it must be done in past tense.
E.g/ "A brilliant quotation.", she replied.
One more thing; fimfiction can be a harsh mistress as the fans can be hard to win over. I recommend you get one or two decent editors/pre-readers/proof-readers (whatever type of lingo you use) and follow the following plan:
1) Write draft no.1 and give it to editors.
2) Write draft no.2 using editors' notes
3) Give draft no.2 to editors.
4) Repeat with draft no.3 and no.4
5) Draft no.4 is what you will publish.
Good luck.

Thornberry strikes me as the kind of guy who would at first become very distracted by encountering a entirely new species and just over the moon that it could speak to him.

3129077 just like the time he thought he found a new tribe in the jungle and acted with great care but in this situation he be trying even more not to offend the ponies since they never met before he a pretty open guy very smart and cultured just a little clumsy but i think that add charm he pretty up beat and will bounce back pretty fast course he had his family with him think and thin i hope this story will show the family pov of what caused his transaction to a new world in time when he remembers.

I shall anticipate this humor...
Do not... dissapoint meh.... :fatitalianbossguy:

I wonder if he'll find the legendary Tikbalang tribe?

Very smart of you to save his actual awakening to next chapter. I'll definitely wait with anticipation for the next chapter 8D

Nigel Thornberry- Commentatorcus-Mustacheaco- Omnivore

This species of homo-sapien is well known to be outgoing and dangerously curious. Although it lacks a bit in intelligence, it makes up for in heart and british wit. The most defing features of this beast is the large proboscis and deep red facial hair beneath it. This creature will spend its days with its family traveling everywhere in the name of finding unique animals and educational film. Unlike most creatures in the animal kingdom, this being will try to get as socially and uncomfortably close to other animals as possible. It has a taste for kippers and tea. It also is believed to have a mating call of sorts.

i knew it

it was only a matter of time before someone did this

3131500 lol right in the right way too lol

I think we know which unicorn and pegasus are gonna get along with Nigel.:raritywink:

All things considered, he's off to a smashing start!:rainbowlaugh:

oh my god yes

It's been awhile my friend...

I think Eliza would be more suited to be in this story since it's her actions that drive the plot. But I wonder: could Fluttershy and Nigel bond over their love of nature and wildlife: Hmm...

3354051 I also wonder that:derpytongue2:

how do you think Nigel's appearance will play out? In this animal's kingdom.

3357629 I know being how much he goes into dangerous places to study and document animals, he'll probably want to venture into the Everfree Forest to see a real Manticore, Hydra, Cockatrice, and find their wolves made of wood. Poor Fluttershy's gonna have trouble keeping him indoors.

3357874
so he'll essentially get into the same problems as Eliza. The ponies in this case are his own animals to talk to.
