If you care enough to look over here, head over to my user page for a more full and accurate (I guess) bio.

"Walk a mile in somepony else's horseshoes."

Some ponies take that a little too far sometimes. Like Vinyl and Octavia. After a strange coincidental meeting, and a magical mishap, the hyperactive DJ and sophisticated, classy, musician switch bodies... which normally wouldn't be a problem, if they both didn't have a potentially life-changing event coming up on the same day a week from now.

Hopefully they can get their act together.

But they probably won't.

Nice set up chapter, with an original premise. I'll track to see where it goes.

I like it! This is the first time I have seen a Vinyl / Octy switch, and I'm curious to see what happens! I like that you set up the plot as well as the primary conflict in this chapter! keep it up, good man! (and for lack of a Vinyl Scratch emote, have a moustashe!

k Then. You have my undivided attention.:trixieshiftright:

Please continue.

I tired to write a story with EXACTLY this plotline almost a year ago.
No one ever saw it except the EQD prereaders, and they rejected it epically, and I banished it to the trash heap after that, because it really was kind of boring.
So, I'm interested to see your rendition! Hopefully it's better.

I'm glad I grabbed your interest!

Wow! That means a lot coming from someone like you!
And sorry about the EQD thing. I've not had the best relationship with EQD either...:trixieshiftleft:

Oh, my relationship with EQD is fine, actually. It just took them to point out to me that that particular little story wasn't any good. Usually, I don't throw out my stuff, even if EQD rejects it. That particular one was just bad; even I kind of thought so.

But the resemblance here of your story to my old one is really weird. Here's a list:
-It was about Vinyl and Octavia switching bodies
-It was caused by Twilight messing up a spell
-Both characters had important musical recitals later that same day
-The title of mine was "A Mile in her Horseshoes"... almost the exact phrase you used to start your description.

I'm laughing over here because it's like someone reached into my brain and rewrote one of my rejected ideas. It's just a strange coincidence, since my version of this similar storyline was never seen by anyone, since I wasn't "famous" at the time, if you want to call it that.:twilightblush:

Anyway, this comment is too long as it is. The point is, I'm thrilled to see someone else take a shot at this, and I'll probably keep an eye on this story.

That is rather strange... like how I was going to do a MST fic right before MPPT300 and the Choose Your Own Adventure before Blueshift. And, well, I'm glad I have your support!

I want to know now, is this going to end with Octa-Scratch? If not, I WILL READ THE HECK OUT OF THIS! Well, put it in my read later section more likely...

Well I'll track this and see where it goes :scootangel:

Looks interesting! I like the idea. :D

We shall proceed, and there shall be laughs.

We would expect nothing less from Mister Fluttershy.

I'll be watching you, even if you forget about me. Goodbye, for now. :pinkiecrazy:

Very interesting. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Heh, so you did start this. I'm glad :pinkiehappy:

Nice story, I can't wait to see what you're doing wth them. :twilightsmile:

Iwas thinking of doing a "Freaky Friday" spoof but instead of Vinyl and Octavia I was going to do Rarity and Sweetie Bell.:raritystarry::unsuresweetie:

MOAR! :pinkiegasp:

Seriously though, great start, can't wait to read the rest.

And so the awkwardness begins...

I swear if someone puts that gif on here...

Nice! The fans were hilarious. great story:rainbowlaugh:

I really like where this is going. Like BookWorm24, I liked the fans, and I think you did a good job on the characterization of the two main ponies. :twilightsmile:

Just letting you know, that Bassista would connotate a female whilst Bassisto would be a male's name.

Otherwise, this is a great read. Really enjoying it.

While the whole premise of the story can be a really cool idea, I feel like the flow of things happening and the dialogue seem choppy at most points.
Really, to me, it feels like it all rushes in to fast to one point, then another.
Plus, if Octavia knew she was Vinyl, wouldn't she have recognized her when she was passed out in the fountain?
Idunno, I just feel like this story could have been better then it is, which at its current state is just OK to me.
But I see this is an older story, and your newer stories seemed to have approved.

And sure, I know, I'm hypocritical in my own writings, but, I'm better at reading or whatever.
So yeah.

My god... It's been so long!

But yeah. You're right. This is rushed as hell. Ecch, can't really do much about it now. I still like the premise but it definitely has some flaws.

I feel the exact same way about stories too, man
