The Anonymous Writer


I write for a living, and when I'm not doing that, I think about writing.

T

Tommy freely travels between Earth and Equestria, the ponies freely travel between Earth and Equestria; and Tommy is struggling to accept whether it's real, or all a vast illusion.

Add'l Info:
While the story is labelled as a "Comedy," it features several instances where a "Sad" tag may have been appropriate. Due however to the intent of the story's thematic elements and the work as a whole, the term "Dark Comedy" may be applied.

Interesting concept. It amazes me what people tend to come up with.

Wonderful coverart, I must say.

I like it! I love it! I want some more of it! (sorry, couldn't resist) In all seriousness though, great chapter and I can't wait for more.:pinkiehappy:

Thank you, that's awesome of you to say.

There's more. Thank you so much for the enthusiasm. It makes the effort worth while.

That was an enjoyable read. I'm pretty sure I've read something with a similar premise, or at least it's similar from what I can tell from what you have now, before. Not that that is a problem, just now you've made me want to rake though my favorites list to find that fic. :facehoof:

Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for this story.

3237675 Oops, almost forgot to like and favorite. But I didn't!

I do kind of wonder how he showers if his shower doesn't actually work.

I want to thank everyone that has read this and has given it a favorite. Thanks.

My editor asked me the same thing, and I assured her that it would be revealed in an upcoming chapter. Of course, that was after she gave me "the look" for not turning in chapters of my manuscript and making her edit a fan fiction.

You sadist! How could you do such a thing?!

This story is good. I love the title, too.

Although, after sifting through the gloomy atmosphere, I'm finding it hard to believe that Comdey is the correct tag to be using. I mean, this chapter brought up a pretty depressing possibility. I could actually feel the mood weighing down my shoulders. It felt thick and sad and I felt bad for the guy. Finding out that this was all some form of sick escapism his brain was inflicting upon him? That'd be horrible for any person to experience.

It's completely plausible, though. If he can interact with their world yet they can't with his? Suspicious, and a point goes to the insanity theory.

Perhaps there'll be more comedy in later chapters, I don't know, but the first one doesn't give off that impression. Anyway, spectacular job. I'll be keeping tabs on this and you.

Also

She gave me the look. I don't know if it's ingrained in every female in the universe, but the look is definitely something that they must be genetically born to dispense onto men at a given time; and it was my time to get it.

I think Twilight and your editor are sharing notes.

Maybe he walks outside and stands in the rain. Make himself seem more tragic.

Or he just slips into Ponyville and waltzes on over to the farm? That's what the chapter seems to imply, anyway.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad that you like it.

As for the tags... well. I won't lie, there are going to be some sad things happen in it. However, if I had put the sad tag up, then it would be only partially accurate, if I had put up both "sad" and "comedy" it would have possibly failed moderation. So I went with the lesser, and less spoilery of the two tags and two evils.

3239395 I understand. Besides, if you'd post the sad tag, you'd throw off the neat color scheme you've got going on up there. That just wouldn't do.

I don't understand why I get so emotional over stories, but this made my eyes water up.:fluttercry:
Anyways, great chapter!:derpytongue2:

Your prose is superb. I'm bowled over.

I'm not really a fan of HiE but this one seems rather inventive, and I'm not feeling any gary stu vibes. Have a favourite.

This is one of the few HiE-type stories that don't send me into a frothing rage.

I quite like it, and I'm glad to see it'll get some closure. You have a nice, reserved prose that doesn't feel like it veers into the overdone theatrics of usual human first person characters.

Also, I listened to this today and it reminded me of the story.

Finally got to around to reading this chapter.

You have great prose, which is the main reason why I like this story so much - usually I'm in the same boat as 5303818 here regarding HiE stories. Looking forward to seeing where this goes :D
