Most other fics on this site I've noticed try to lure in viewers and readers by having a new, interesting and original premise, maybe a fancy piece of cover art or some such thing and a description that is very hurr durr 3deep5u. When it works, it's ridiculously successful, like Emma Watson and Jennifer Lawrence starring as lesbians in a zombie apocalypse movie. When it doesn't work, it's just embarrassing, like letting your dog out and not expecting him to dash off after Generic Thing Dogs Hate™, and then when he does you have to chase after him in your bathrobe, and while chasing him you run by your boss who's suddenly decided to take up jogging in your neighborhood that very morning, and your dog suddenly decides that his shoe is indistinguishable from a fire hydrant with milkbones for tits.
In this story, I've decided to skirt the whole ordeal, I'm not going to try and dance for you with an OC HiE story on a hurr durr premise, what you get is what you get, and I do what I want.
Anyway this story is a HiE story, except unlike probably every single other fic you'll ever read in this one Humans and Ponies don't speak the same language. And that's probably a holey premise in itself, given that in the show ponies speak English rather fluently. But I don't care, as previously stated I do what I want, and I'm tired of stories that involve space aliens in general skipping over the fact that the aliens conveniently speak every language on Earth including Pig Latin.
The Human character is Anon, a nameless faceless human that you all can project yourselves upon. But I don't want to remove my own cynical self too far from the story, so Anon is a snarky, satirical, misanthropic loner with a penchant for run on sentences and perplexing metaphors. And the only other character I'm allowing to speak English is Discord, because he's mother bucking Discord, he does what he wants, we're very alike in that respect.
Read it if you want, if not, why did you read all this to the very end, have you nothing better to do? Well if that's true then just read it, it won't kill you, you ungrateful (expletive).

First, Anon is overdone, second, language barriers aren't original. They even have a group for them on this site.

I like it! Fucking funny, keep it up.

I can't tell if your trying to be clever to be ironic or just trying too hard but it's oddly endearing

I love this fix already and will accept it into my house hold and trust it not to raid my fridge. Maybe even brew some tea and have a conversation about the economy or something else 'normal' people talk about.

"Emma Watson and Jennifer Lawrence starring as lesbians in a zombie apocalypse movie."

Sorry, I can't go any further because I'm dying of laughter from your simile. :rainbowlaugh:

Yep, lots of stories have the language barrier. (Although I haven't ever seen the group)

Your trademark gimmick gets old. Really really fast.

Why are there so many dislikes? This fic is pretty good!

Going to give this a try. There are a few good fics now in that the language barrier is an issue and at least a few more where Humanity™ gave our languages to them.

I haven't read it yet but most HiE fics have at least 10-12 dislikes. Pretty sure this is either a bunch of snooty fic readers or trolls.

I decided any amount of trouble I could get myself into I would be able to get myself back out of with lots of run on sentences and colorful metaphors, like something very clever.

Oh, you're referring to this story right? So much for 4th walls, but then, that was already broken down, smashed up and ejected into a black hole in story synopsis.
I love this by the way, the satire especially has me smiling from the start. So I say to you;

If you want to read a HiE story where there is a language barrier, try the Arrow 18 stories (the main one is from the human's view point and the other is pony's view point)
