    Our narrator has seen the darker side of life; abandoned, homeless, and finally, deemed 'acceptable losses' by a think-tank that is holding him against his will.  After being prepared, he is teleported into the void, where his only means of survival is following the little light ahead of him.  

    By chance or purpose, he later finds himself in a world strangely similar but completely alien to him; a world populated by many colored horses who can speak, think, fly, and even do magic.  This is the journal of that man, this is the adventure not known to human ears; it is a journey unthought of: the story of a man's life in Equestria.

    Heh, not exactly an original concept so far, but has a nice humorous touch to it. And of course, the interaction between Bon Bon and Lyra is priceless :twilightsmile:

    Might I suggest *not* using paragraph breaks as linebreaks? It makes the story a bit hard to read... :applejackunsure:

    The short length of the chapters to date, combined with the lack of a cliffhanger at this point leaves me feeling as though I can wait, and leave the cohesion of updates up to the author. :twilightsmile:

    However if you wanted to update now, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it... :pinkiehappy:

    >>358043 I'm just sick of authors making HiE fanfics where the human character bears an almost natural hatred of humanity, and doesn't miss a single beat to demonize our people. Worse still is the generalization to all members of our species. I'm sick and tired of that cliché.

    So much so, the only notable HiE fanfics that I have an undying respect forr averting this are Article 2, by Muppetz, and What Separates by Zurock.

    I know it's old hat to think of humanity as being a corrupt race of beings, but I'm afraid it's hard to deny our past actions against each other as a species.  This section of the story does introduce that, but what it will later address as well is that we as a race are not caged by the actions of our ancestors; we can rise above ourselves and our forefathers, and create something good and wonderful.  In short, yes, we can do to terrible things, but we have the potential to do great things as well, and we cannot allow ourselves to become hopeless, because that will be the day we confine ourselves to only being able to do evil things.

    I have a lot of time on my hands this week, and I'll make sure to read the titles you suggested.  Thanks for your opinion on my work.

    I could say that it's strikes a rather fitting contrast that Adam is the first of his kind again in Equestria, and that the Doctor is the last of his kind, and that in their natures they are almost like yin and yang which strikes an interesting dichotomy for the rest of the series.

    Or I could say I just wanted to write the Doctor in.  I got to be honest, but the last opinion is probably the most true.:twilightsheepish:

    >>445383

    I'm glad you think so!  Originally, I needed a foil of some kind for Adam to end up in Canterlot's dungeons, and the character that that was (originally a pony I named Tangent Line) then evolved into Bunsen Burner.  

    While he does act villainous, I've wanted to mold Bunsen Burner into the role of an anti-villain.  He is wise, passionately protective of his fellow ponies, and he has the overarching goal of wanting Equestria safe, which by themselves are noble traits and a noble idea, but his philosophy of using anything as a means to an end to carry out that goal is what sets him aside as a villain rather than an ally.  It's hard writing as him sometimes, as I can't stand some of the positions he will take!  

    Don't worry, he'll get his due in the end.

Abrams, Bunsen Burner's personality might be based quiet a bit, unintentionally, on the personality of Arvin Sloane, one of the series main villains.:pinkiegasp:

    While I will be the first to admit that I'm not a medical expert, you can dislocate a rib just as readily as any other bone.  See, each individual rib in your ribcage is connected to your spinal column and your sternum.  There are several ways you can pop a rib out of socket, but I imagine the easiest is receiving a large traumatic force from the front or from behind.

    Well for one thing, two chapters to me always seemed like it would be to short, and I didn't want you guys to be shorted.  Because of that, I find that I've fallen into a rhythm of written 2-3 chapters at a time, sort of like micro-arcs in the overall story arc.  It makes it less likely for me to get writer's block, and it gives me time to stew on the good ideas and make them better ideas!

    Thanks for notifying me about that!  Back then I was still trying to get a format down, and I'm glad you let me know!  I'm glad you like the story so far!
