A human turned pony asks Twilight Sparkle to send him back home. Luckily, Twilight is perfectly capable of doing so. But is it really a good idea?

Best HiE story ever! If only there were more HiE stories like this....

I Say! this is a beautiful piece of satire old bean. I give it a star and a thumbs up. hmm yes, quite.

It's a funny story, pretty short as you said but still good.
Yet, it's a pity that the story of the arrival and the rescue by Rainbow Dash hasn't been told
Anyway , I liked this story and I would like to ask you if I could translate it into French for the French MLP fandom. (of course they'll know you're the only author of this story and they will have a link to this page if they want to comment or read in English)
hope it will be ok with you

See, this is how all HiE stories should go. Makes much more sense. If there was no way back, the first thing I would do was try to obtain a visa or some other form of legal status. Papers are very important.

This is fantastic. Such a breath of fresh air from some of the HiE fics that have been coming out lately.

Kudos to you, good sir.

Like, fave, follow.

Note:This fanfic is great, this is just a joke. None of this here is for real, so don't take it seriously..

(duh)

You had a chance to make Walter Walter White, and you did not. This is a sin. +1
1
Walter is crying tears of joy, and the ponies think he's crying. When you cry, you wail and flail. +1
2
Walter immediately stops crying for the convenience of the story. +1
3
Realize the writer threw us the bait thinking we'd get a flashback of him being a complete p*ssy, but he quickly grabs it back. +1
4
Him being a complete p*ssy. +1

Rainbow Dash says it was one timber wolf like they're easy to kill with your bare hands.. Does she fight them for a living? Rainbow Dash is a dick to timber wolves. +1
6
Twilight brings him there, and doesn't have the balls to admit she did it. Sadly, this a sin for her, and not for the story. +0

Sins:6
Wait, six? That's it? Hm.
Guess my job here is- oh, right!
Sentence: The Everfree
(Watch out for timber wolves)

That actually made me chuckle. I love Cinema Sins, and also that MLP parody series of it by this guy.

3420233 Yes, I love that guy. Glad to have made someone chuckle :pinkiehappy:

Aru

3418047 It's reasonable. After all you can probably get some bits for starting a new life and so on!

I sincerely hope she gets Deadpool next.

Priorities For any Human in Equestria:
1: How do I look?
2: Obtain means to survive on own
3: Locate nearest population center
4: Go see princesses
5: Ask princesses if you can get back
6: If no, then begin generic HiE fic. If yes, then go back immediately. You don't belong there.

1: Incredibly handsome of course, otherwise the mane 6 wouldn't fall madly in love.
2: Luckily, the human is a soldier/marine/black ops/special forces guy.
3: Oh would you look at that, the nearest sign of civilization just happens to be Ponyville.
4: To be honest, I usually stop reading before I get this far.
5: ???
6: Profit.

Pony response: "A what? You need papers to say you're here? Do you also have a paper to say you were born?"

Please see Trevor in Equestria: because screw you. For a continuation of your headcannon fugly duckling

This review proudly brought to you, courtesy of Authors Helping Authors.

Grammar: 9/10 (some veeeeery small issues with comma placement, I also think you wrote does instead of doesn't at some point.)

Pros:
1) You've successfully circumvented the stereotypical, over-saturated "Human in Equestria, human must be destined to save world" ideal.
2) Twilight and Rainbow seem well in-character.
3) It was over pretty much before it ever had a chance to begin. While this is usually a bad thing, it works for the purpose of the story.

Cons:
1) Walter seems just a tad whiny, and too eager to leave. Innate human curiosity should have kicked in about the world of Equestria, but it didn't.
2) While I did say Rainbow is pretty well in-character, she does seem to lean to the more "jerky" side of her personality.
3) ...Yeah, I got nothin'.

Notes:
Not really much to say here, except praise you for the overall smoothness and flow of the story. While it took me literally two minutes to read, I didn't feel like I wasted my time. Nor do I feel that it really needs to continue on. If there is one thing I want to say, it's that I've never ever considered summoning magic to be a "simple matter". I think you've made Twilight a little too OP in that sense. She also seems to be uncaring of her unwitting subject's feelings. This is kinda forgivable (as it's in the name of study), but people hate the feeling of being used. Nevertheless, you've shown exactly that idea and presented it concisely. A nice little read :twilightsmile:

I hope you enjoy your review! I await your review of my story, Keeper of the Crystal Heart.

Lol! XD Awesome!

2: Luckily, the human is a soldier/marine/black ops/special forces guy.

Don't forget "and just happened to be carrying a small arsenal with them, even if they were at home".

Or they just happen to remember exactly how to make things that go boom.

6: If no, then begin generic HiE fic. If yes, then go back immediately. You don't belong there.

Now this I'd have to take issue with. First human to encounter an alien civilization, you have a way back if you want it, and you don't at least want to learn a bit and get to know the world you find yourself in? Once in a lifetime opportunity there; it'd be like having NASA call up and say they want to have you, personally, go to space, and saying "nah, I don't belong there".

Haha, I haven't seen any HIE's where weapons are brought along like that, but I can easily imagine that occurring often. I once read an actual fantasy story where an the protagonist switched worlds every time he slept. While in our world, he learned how to make a bomb of sorts and used that knowledge to make one in the fantasy world.

3807453
I've seen far too many stories where the human just happens to have a knife, dagger, pistol, rifle, or tactical body armor. Or all of the above.

3416172 And then Equestria's newest princess was found in her home with an axe embedded seven centimeters into her brain.

Ah, a likely incident involving the HIE storyline. This was quite appreciated in comparison to all the other 'heroic' stories involving a misplaced human. Quite a good job on this, as well as with the deliberate summoning on Twilight's part. A much needed breath of fresh air.

Finally, a realistic HiE story. I enjoyed this immensely!

After going on a small rant about them misusing my tax dollars by cold-calling people and attempting to send an untrained, physically unfit civilian into space, that's pretty much exactly what my response would be. Seriously, what use do I have for going to space? I can get a good enough view of the stars from my back yard to suit me.

Besides, I may not know much about space travel, but I know this: Zero-G makes you puke. I have enough vomit in my life here on the ground, thank you very much. :moustache:

wandering top rated HiE fics, stumbled across this. Enjoyed immensely. GJ, take an upvote. Hell, have a fav while I'm at it

Thank you! I'm glad you were entertained.

I've read shorter HiE's, admittedly, they were all worse too, a lot.

3416172 Why have Trevor, when you can have Postal Dude from POSTAL 2?

Well, everybody praise this story and so on. Like how it is so good HiE story. I would like to know some recommendations of other good, or THE BEST HiE stories. Because... Yes, HiE what i find is pretty... dull.

7321653

The only HiE I can remember thoroughly enjoying involved a human sharing a body with Rainbow Dash. Even then, it's still a clever inversion of the dull and oversaturated genre that we're all so familiar with. As for my story, I really wouldn't call it a good HiE either. A good HiE would be entertaining in a vacuum. This is just a satire that's funny to people who know how most HiE's go.

7321653 You're in luck! I've got a bunch here. Or if you're a little pickier, try this list. (All the stories in the latter are also in the former.)

You know, what I was really hoping for here was Twilight arguing against the guy going home for his own sake. I know that's deeper than you were aiming at, but hey. I'm just awkward. :P

Thank you for finally writing an alternate universe / human story! I'm giving this a 👍! 🙌:derpytongue2::pinkiehappy:

That's how I picture a human summon actually going. Well, probably with a few less tears, but still.

I bet something similar happens next time.

"Even if it's your destiny to save Equestria?" Twilight pressed.

"Not my problem," Walter insisted. "I want to go home."
