Barrel-of-fun


Once upon a time, I dreamt of being a mad scientist when I grew up. After much consideration, I realised that science is quite hard. So I became a mad writer instead, which is much easier. True story.

E

After the death of the Jabberwock and the defeat of the Red Queen Alice returns home to her world, leaving the Hatter lost and without a purpose. However a suprising offer by the White Queen gives him a new hope. His mission is to rekindle relations with Equestria. How will this world of order and harmony handle someone as mad as a hatter...and how will it affect him?


MLP:FIM belongs to Hasbro and Lauren Faust
Alice In Wonderland was created by Lewis Carrol and I believe it currently belongs to Disney

Damn it! You had to go with the Tim Burton version, didn't you?

Looks good i'll be tracking

the Tim Burton version does have a bit (if any) more depth to his character than his previous incarnations

Normally, I'd be all for this, but I hate the Tim Burton version with a burning passion.
Sorry, not interested. :ajbemused:

I went with the Burton version because, as supernova708 said, the character of the Hatter has more depth and an actual personality. Other versions of the Hatter are mostly just random madness which I would find difficult to write a story around. I'm sorry if you don't life the Burton Hatter but...you know, my fic my rules :trollestia:

oh my, i'm working (sporadically) on an American Mcgee's Alice/MLP crossover. normally, i'd have give this a look but i don't want to be unduly influenced by you in my own story. i'm sorry.

The idea of MLP crossing over with Wonderland, I think, is an awesome idea.

But if it's based on the lousy Tim Burton adaptation, I don't think I'll be interested. Go and read the book, then try to write the story based on that. Trust me, you'll score tons of brownie points with your readers simply by basing it on the original Lewis Carrol story instead of Tim Burton's savaging of it. (Swear to God, the man hasn't made anything good since Beetlejuice. It's in the best interest of your fic's success.)

No. No, it doesn't.
There's such thing as fleshing out a character, but there's also such thing as bastardizing them. What Tim Burton did was simply put his own spin on the characters, paying next to no attention to who or what the original characters were.
Alice in Wonderland was a parody of Victorian England society, as seen through the eyes of a little girl who was too young to understand the ways of adults. It was not about trippy visuals and wars. The reason American McGee's Alice games are good is because he actually went and factored those important parts of Lewis Carroll's work into his own interpretation of Alice--which is a game about Alice growing up and Wonderland reflecting her own psyche, influenced by Victorian England society.
Either way, Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland makes most wanna puke.

Good story tracking this one:pinkiehappy:

Dude, it's the Mad Hatter. That's kind of the idea. :facehoof:

American McGee > Tim Burton :ajbemused:

408028
True, but everything short of GOD is less than American McGee. Now, come on, Bronies. Lets critique this based on it's own merits, not the source material's source material.

Interesting... I will continue to read, as long as the quality of the writing improves, or at least stays at the level it's currently at (which is a suprisingly high level, might I add).

407945 I think Tim Burton did a pretty good job of actually visualising the characters of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland ( Who, for the less educated people on this site, actually wrote two Alice in wonderland novels, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Saw There ), although plot of the film was terrible. I think that American McGee did a much better job of presenting the world as a whole, even if it's a more twisted version of Wonderland.

i agree on him it dose not mater were the material came from its how it was used. i for one liked it tho i agree with the people saying Tim Burton's is sh*t but he use him quite well for this:twilightsmile:

I think this version of the Hatter is best for a crossover, also becouse it is probbably the best known one. And in the end, it doesn't matter becouse it's the Mad Hatter :raritywink:

Shows great promise, may even be EQD-worthy later on.

TB Alice movie was fast forward story not really about Alice as a child.I want to see more.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA, Awesome, I love it, continue please.:moustache:

looks like pinkie has met her match...
BTW hatters crazy antics + pinkies hyperness = WORLD DESTRUCTION...or in my case MIND FUCK!
:derpyderp1::derpyderp2::derpytongue2:

WOOP! HATTER AND CHESHIRE CAT IN EQUESTRIA!
We will track this, will we not?
..Yeeesssss. You're random today.

:facehoof: Rainbow, why am I not surprised?

You always know how to ruin a moment, don't you Dash?:facehoof:

Whenever there is a moment to ruin, she will be there! whenever an writer needs a convenient pony to attack the human in a HiE, she will be there! She is...Rainbow Dash! :rainbowwild:

:facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof: DAMN IT RAINBOW!

Damn it Rain!

Oh! And I know why a raven is like a writing desk!:pinkiehappy:

Rainbow....SMASH!

Oh why rainbow, why? :moustache:

Oh RD, your such a idiot. i can see celestia muttering "You know, i know this is a painful stereotype of myself, but i am in the mood for sending a certain rainbow mane pony to the moon.

I wonder how they react to the Hatter dance. or alicorns delight red queen now exiled.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Lewis Carroll Jobberwocky

Lol, Tea spitting.

>all of her adrenalin gone at the sight

Pretty sure it's "adrenaline." The word "adrenalin" isn't spellchecked because it is, in fact, a word, just not the word I know you meant to use.


>“Oh yes, I’m perfectly fine my dear. You know what they say, no harm no foul, and since I don’t see a chicken around here at the moment that must mean that no harm happened here. It’s only logical” He announced with a little half smile.

A note on that, as the error has occurred multiple times in your chapters. Correctly, the end would be: "It's only logical," he announced. I suggest you read the Editor's Omnibus from Equestria Daily. Even if you're not planning on sending it to EqD, it's still a useful tool. Other than that, the story seems rather rushed and short. Good job on it, though, I absolutely adore the concept.

422897 thanks :twilightsmile: it seems that no matter how many times I look through my work I always end up missing something :facehoof: I have no intention of uploading this to EqD at the moment, maybe once it is finished I will polish it a bit and send it in but until then.

Also I'm only intending this to be a fairly short story, around 10-15 chapters, as it is my first successful fic and I don't want to over-extend myself
Thanks again for the edits :pinkiehappy:

Great chapter. I'm guessing Rainbow's gonna screw something up somehow.

Also, First. Woohoo :yay:

this is a pretty awsome story, can't wait for more.

Hatters gotta hat......:facehoof::rainbowlaugh: The pun has been doubled......:moustache:

…I do. I promise I will never [let] hatred control me again
I was invited in {x}my{x} [by] your owner…

Couple of grammar points, as you quite asked regarding them. Most excellent chapter, and story overall. Pardon my eccentricities, however I myself am quite mad :coolphoto:. Ah, but everyone is mad, it is merely a game of degrees.

For the record, I had been using this moniker for years, well before the remake and well after the impact of the original.

I will never look at glitter the same way again.
I never looked at it the same way since "Twilight".

Also- satidfactio. It's "satisfaction."

Thank you :pinkiehappy: the whole pixie dust thing was added after I wrote the chapter as I realised that it was a dull talky chapter and needed some comedy
Poor Rarity gets to be the butt of the joke here :trollestia:

Equestria's Battle of Madness! Pinkie VS Mad Hatter?
Who will win? Who will leave with their sanity intact?

451196
Sanity? I wasn't aware either of them still had any of that.

451275
well, anyone who witnesses their battle might be a bit worse for wear in the sanity department :twilightsheepish:

Pinkie must give Hatter a party cannon, he will simply love it.

bow before the awsome power of the PARTY CANNON!:pinkiehappy::pinkiecrazy:
