Just a simple guy who likes to write and stumbled into this strange but wonderful fandom.

NOTE TO NEW READERS: I've completed the full rewrite of this story, but if you wish to see the original story as well it will remain below the revised chapter entries. Because several chapters were expounded on or compressed together there's unfortunately no real corresponding order between where events appear in the "Revised" and "Original" chapters.

NOTE TO RETURNING READERS: This rewrite was more than skin deep. While core events will largely remain the same, the plot's events may still unfold in drastically different ways in terms of scenes and details from what you previously experienced. Hopefully the new interpretation of events will be an improvement in your eyes.

Our narrator has seen the darker side of life; abandoned, homeless, and finally chosen by a think-tank to serve in an experiment against his will. In their attempt to teleport him across continents, he was instead dumped into the Void between universes, where his only chance to exist again was to reach for the light.

By chance or purpose, he later finds himself in a world strangely similar to the one he had always known, but is yet completely alien; a world populated by many colored horses who can speak, think, fly, and even do magic. This is the story of that man. This is an adventure that was never supposed to happen. This is A Journey Unthought Of: A human's life in Equestria.

NOTE: This story has been marked 'Crossover' because the Earth the protagonist comes from is the one in the Doctor Who universe. The Doctor will also make appearances in later chapters.

If this story holds your interest, I've written four appendices and a now completed sequel, all of which you can find here. These stories enhance past events of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, though some of them may have been made partially obsolete by later episodes.

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:

Good story, but the spacing is annoying.

Well I'm glad somebody likes my story!

Thank you for the feedback and the read!

I'm thinking of adding the next ten chapters along with two new ones on Friday, but I could be persuaded to upload the next ten chapters tomorrow and add the the other two on Friday. What do you wonderful readers want?

“You are not a dumb animal; you’re mind speaks volumes to me.”

This should be

“You are not a dumb animal; your mind speaks volumes to me.”

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:

NEEDS ABOUT 20% MORE RAINBOW DASH! wait wait... scratch that. I CLAIM THAT YOU SHALL DO SOMETHING OR YEAH.......

290179

Thanks for that! I guess I'm not as thorough of a spellchecker as I thought!:twilightsmile:

290880
Patience my good reader! I just finished the chapters that will focus a little more on Rainbow Dash, and believe me, her part of the story is going to be big!:pinkiehappy:

Borrowing a few ideas from Harry Potter are we?

304452

I'm afraid so. I just couldn't come up with a cool sounding name for it other then just drab old "invisibility cloak". "Sheet of Unseeing" is unique, but it just doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well!:twilightblush:

The good news is, you now have 12 new chapters to read! The bad news is that now we're caught up with my release schedule, which means from this point on, I'll be updating 2 new chapters a week. I'm trying to pace myself so I can keep excited about my story, while simultaneously not getting burned out by school. Life outside the Internet is so cruel.:pinkiesad2:

Yolks are the yellow part of an egg. I think you meant yoke :ajsmug:

305025
Sorry! I can't brain today! I have the dumb!:facehoof:

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!:raritydespair:

quick bring the new brain tissue....:pinkiegasp:

312146
Oh man, that made me smile:rainbowlaugh:

The way your sentences are cut
off in the
middle of them is a bit aggravating
but your
storytelling is sound otherwise
I really
liked the "bless you" scene.

Ah, no space weirdness by chapter 2. Excellent!

well...this is certainly interesting so far :rainbowlaugh:

316016
Yeah, it was a bit difficult adjusting to the formatting on this website.:derpyderp1: Thanks for the comment! I think I got some cleaning up to do.

316581

I'm glad you like it so far! Things are about to get a lot deeper, and for coherency's sake I might just upload three instead of two chapters.:pinkiegasp:

In the upcoming chapters, I'm going to be introducing a certain grey colored blonde maned pegasi. Which name should I use? Ditzy Doo, or Derpy Hooves?

Nice, very nice.

However, you HAVE to remember to cut this thing into paragraphs, especially when somepony talks. The only reason I can read these walls of text is because they're really short.

331066
I'll try to keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for letting me know!

Oh, yay, ANOTHER misanthrope human in Equestria.It was going so well...
Unwatched.

357903
Alright. I'm sad to see you go. Do you mind telling me what you didn't like?

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.

you what dude you stupid

358068
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.

358228 Oh no, of course I'm not denying we did plenty of shit during our existence. And I naturally agree with your ideals, though you exposed them too little in this chapter, which immediately led me to think what I said before. You may want to give it a little rewrite to avoid this sort of confusion.

358269
Sorry for the confusion.:ajsleepy: I know it's just a couple chapters a week, but I'm trying to write this as if I would actually publish it as a novella or something similar. I might upload more chapters then normal this week since I'm on Spring Break now, so we can rush forward! :twilightblush: Just bear with me a little bit; things might a bit darker before they get better, but things will turn out with a happy ending. That's about all the hints I can give out right now!

358389 ... alright. I'm a bit disgruntled, but I'll do that.

Throttling Celestia? To the moon! :trollestia:

360437
Close! So very close! :pinkiehappy: The consequences shall be grave, but nothing lunar related shall occur with the punishment!

I DON'T EVEN

WHAT IS THIS

I am okay with this. :derpytongue2:

awww yeahhhhh
the doctor is in!

371620
And tomorrow brings a new chapter! Oh man, I can't wait to give you all this next part of the story!

Yes. Okay, just, yes. :derpytongue2:

382519
I really loved writing this chapter! My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and it's fandom is actually what got me interested in Doctor Who, so when I started writing this whole story, this was kind of my way of tipping my hat to it. Cue the Tardis engines! We're headed off to even bigger adventures very soon!

And then suddenly it was a Dr. Who fic! :rainbowlaugh:

384299
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:

Welp, it looks like Spring Break for me is over.:pinkiesad2: We'll be going back to our usual schedule of 2 to 3 chapters a day, and I'll be going back to the hallowed hells..I mean halls of learning: college. The continued writing of this story has been one of a few joys I've had there, and I can't wait to write even more for you guys! On a side note, storywise, we are now about a third of the way through my planned story plot. Heh, plot.:trollestia:

I bet adam is tied to a disection table

I bet, Adam is going to pull a MORTAL KOMABT moment.

He's tucked away somewhere safe..for now. :pinkiecrazy:
