Dude, that's RvB spoilers right there in the description! Not cool.

you have some fucking compitition. DarkWing already has his own crossover that makes others that attempt to do theirs cower in fear. but dont get discoraged, i want to see how you take it in the story

I do believe you have captured the essence of Church if he was to one day turn into a talking pony.

I don't care how this turns out, I'm reading it.

best reaction ever ... of all time

>>751987751987 Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

---

>>751989751989 You're right. I never actually stopped and considered that... My problem now is that I'm actually unsure how far back the spoilers... spoil. Once I have decided, I will add a spoiler warning to the Long Description, as actually removing the spoilers would leave it vague and uninteresting.

I'm actually sorry about this slip up, because I'm worried that I may have spoiled the newer seasons of Red Vs blue for you... So if I have, well then I am very sorry.

---

>>751990751990 Ah, yes. I believe I stumbled across that a little while ago. I noted that there never seemed to be any lasting tension between any of the characters. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I like to write that way.

---

>>752026752026 >>752193752193 >>752353752353 Thanks, Thanks, and Thanks. I'm really glad you like it.

Due to time constraints, I doubt I'll be uploading a thousand words a day, like DarkWing, but I'll keep on keeping-on.

>>753260753260 OK, I actually didn't pay enough attention to the later part of the description, and I watched up to where this probably starts (it was a while ago, I don't remember). The spoiler is Church's relationship with the AIs and what he is. So you'd better change the title to "Church in Equestria", add a warning that it spoils RvB up to what, season 9? And add extra empty lines to the long description so that you need to click "More" to get to the spoilery parts, which are probably necessary to describe the fic.

>>753342753342 Okay then. First I need to change the cover image, so just give me a few minutes.

It's a shame. Church in Equestria just doesn't have the same flow.

>>753342753342

Epsilon IS Chrurch

>>753379753379 Yeah... I am a little confused about how that is actually a spoiler. We know that Epsilon has turned into a new version of Church from mid-season 7 onward, and if you aren't up to that yet, then I don't really see why you would be reading RvB Fan fiction anyway.

>>753379753379 >>753342753342 Yeah, I've given it some more thought, and I've decided that the name 'Epsilon' is not a spoiler, considering how far it stretches back. In order to make the title flow more, I'm going to change it back to Epsilon in Equestria.

>>753551753551 Better make it long. Like over 100 chapters long. Cause there is another fan-fic with more chapters you can read, and I'm looking foward to reading yours.

>>754521754521 I already know about My Little Caboose. I don't really see the need for Competition, and I know I can't match the production speed of it either, but I still plan to write this. Thanks for reading.

>>754701754701 Well I already read the latest chapter and I'm itching for more.

lol this is awesome!

>>759155759155 Thanks very much!

First

I like! Continue! For fun! For fiction! For wasting time! That is our purpose!

>>759615759615 Of course. Of course.

>>759644759644 ... I think I was insulted...

>>759672759672 What? No! That wasn't meant to be insulting.

>>759676759676 Sorry for some reason it seemed that way. But again this is the second RvB crossover and so far I like this one better!

>>759704759704 Thanks.

A little note: I edited the last couple of lines of Chapter 2. I realized that the story is a lot more interesting if Church is still unable to accept the whole 'talking ponies' angle, so I made him less calm.

Oh, and at some point I WILL make him remember to call them ponies instead of horses.

>>759729759729 Nice! I'll take a look!

dude, great job. I'm loving how this has started off. You know what's funny? That Burnie Burns, the creator of RvB and Church's voice, is a co worker of several Bronies and doesn't believe in the Brony subculture. To have his character become a pony is clear irony.

great job again. Love the chapter and this installment of churches new life in equestria. Keep goin and stay golden^^

>>760389760389 Thanks. Stay tuned for some awkward introductions!

BTW, I had no idea that anyone at RT was a Brony. How wonderful!

(And if he dislikes bronies, then I hope he never sees any of the crossover fanfics)

>>760451760451 dude, look up something called 'the internet box'. It's done by Michael from rage quit and Ray along with a few others. Seriously, the Brony culture touches even RT.

First!

Now that I have laid my claim. This have got to be one of the more realistic versions of this story I have ever read, and by gods do I love it! Keep up the good work.

>>761096761096 Believe it or not, realism is one of the main reasons I started this. I saw a few other RvB in MLP stories, but none of them really rang character-true for me. I acknowledge that in the latest chapter Church was a little Out-of Character, but I' not too good at writing introduction or love scenes.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

(Two chapters in one day. I didn't think I'd ever do that)

this keeps getting better and better

>>761484761484 Thanks!

>>761096761096

I was EARLIER than first

just check the first page

Next stop: even more hilarity!

So, will this story feature any other RvB characters? There's still Tex somewhere in the unit, so it's not completely outside the realm of possibility. Anyway great chapter, keep goin and stay golden^^

So.. does church have is cutie mark? Or is he a blank flank?

You missed a m in farm pony. Third from the last paragraph AJs last line.

I will continue to follow this you have my interest.

>>763115763115 I have plans to insert the other characters. My main challenge is finding a plausible way to get them within the unit - and I would prefer to actually put them in the unit, rather than wire them in with virtual reality. I think that I have an 'okay' method, although it does use a little bit of Applied Phlebotinum.

>>763167763167 I was originally going to have him start out with a cutie mark, but then decided it would add more depth to the overall story by making church earn one. So yeah. He's a Blank Flank.

>>764269764269 Thanks for reading, and thanks for pointing out the error. I'll fix that.

This feels somewhat rushed, if you need more time to go over your chapters to ensure their quality take it. We will all wait, and wait patiently at that, for good chapters. Don't feel pressured into updating quickly by other authors  schedules, just write at your pace and provide the best quality chapters you can.

>>765247765247 how about giving the other characters AI? just copy their personalities and have their AI selves enter the unit.

I feel this chapter was filler, like the walking part would have been better if it were in the middle of a chapter.

>>766399766399 Well, now that I've Woken up I can re-read the chapter in a 'fresher' state of mind, and fix it up accordingly. As for taking my time: you're right. My main focuss was making up for the fact that I won't be in a position to post for the next two days.

>>766740766740 Don't worry. I have a method of insertion, that I may change based on reader feedback.

>>766975766975 Actually, this entire chapter was filler. Twilight needed to send that letter to Celestia, and I REALLY needed to explain how Church would be able to walk.

This is really a good story so far, and an interesting one at that. Can't wait for the next chapter

>>771202771202 Thanks. I have another chapter almost completed, but I feel that I should stop rushing them out. I'm not in a position to submit tomorrow, so you'll need to wait for two days.

Hmm... I went through and edited all of my chapters, and now it looks like I uploaded them all at once. ^_^'

(Why does that bother me so much?)

and i thought my luck couldnt get any better

first a crossover of halo then dead space then leageu of legends and now THIS!

I AM SOO LUCKY

this is awesome

Q: will Church ever tell Twilight the truth? will Celestia or Twilight have a spell that allows them to see his memories to find out the truth?

The writing was very awkward in the first chapters, but has smoothed out nicely. Church has a hell of an attitude on him, but with what he just went through its completely in character for the moment. I do feel that you are really over using the swearwords. While Church does swear quite a bit,its only when he's stressed. And while he is in a high stress position, its actually not possible for a person to sustain a high level of agitation for extinded periods. If I may make a suggestion, try cutting his swearing down to only when something actually sets him off. That would not only add a some extra depth to the story, he would come off as less of a total ass.

Anyhow, I really like the story and will be looking forward to future updates!

>>784324784324 That is the magic of frien- story progression. Everything's pretty bland if Church and Twilight are best pals right from the get-go, but If he's constantly spurning her attempts to communicate, then I have something to work with while I blindly make up the story chapter-by-chapter.

>>784351784351 I'm sure the initial writing was awkward. I haven't written as any of these characters before, so finding a good spot that doesn't leave them too OOC took a while, and it will take a while (if I ever actually manage) to have them down pat.

Well, I've noted that Church can swear quite a lot... but now that I think about it, you're right. Most of the instances are when he's under stress. He does swear casually, but not as much as I've been having him do in the story. Long story short: I'll keep that in mind.

N.B: Church is meant to come off as an ass. It gives more FLARE *sparkle* to the dialogue. Oh, and everyone in the RvB cannon normally go out of their way to acknowledge that he's rude - even the Director.

EDIT: Guys, I will once again state that I do NOT have a proof-reader, and will not ask for one (and I probably won't accept an offer either, unless you are a good writer) So FEEL FREE to point out any mistakes that I've missed so that I can fix them.

>>784426784426

Hehe, that comment about the awkward writing was ment as a compliment. In just a few thousand words you have gotten into the feel of the story amazingly well.

Note to self - never EVER post from my phone again... the errors on my last post make me ill.....

>>784600784600 Ah... Posting from the mobile... I myself am cursing the lack of any good version of Swype on the iPod Touch.

Anyway, thanks for the ego-boost I got from learning that you like my story in lieu of The 'infamous' My Little Caboose. Believe it or not, that was my original inspiration for Epsilon in Equestria - As in, I read it, and decided that everyone was just too... Chummy. There were never any lasting issues, with almost every dispute resolved by the next chapter, usually accompanied by a very uncharacteristic apology from one of the RvB characters. I looked at how Darkwing wrote characters like Church, and I thought "I can do better."

Anyway, my criticisms aside, I have a more pressing question: Are you still watching Red vs Blue?

>>784716784716

Funny story - Until I read the description for "My little Caboose" I had never heard of it. So in order to give the fic a fair shot I started watching it. Turns out I liked it a lot and watched all of the episodes last weekend in a rather unwise (but very enjoyable) marathon. Imagine my frustration when I found the story that had started it all to be lacking...

So, short answer: Yup, I'm currently an avid fan of the web-series!

think you

You know, I wonder how Church'll react to Pinkie? Of all the ponies, she is the most like Caboose, and that in itself is sure to push Church over the edge. Keep goin and stay golden^^

shall i dare say? oh yes i will. you are so awesome i have to give you a few stache's my friend now....OFF TO THE OTHER STORIES. great story btw seems great so far!

Authors Notes: About the 'Washington beats up Grif' scene: I've always felt that if Washington had ever spent an extended amount of time with Grif, he would hate him almost as much as Sarge. Considering that they've gone on some massive adventure, I decided to capitalize on that idea.

Okay, it wouldn't surprise me if there are some missing "M's" in this scene. I have a crumb or something stuck under my 'M' key, and it's causing hell with my typing.

So yeah. Corrections are welcome.

EDIT: Oh, and yes. This chapter is mostly filler.

is there going to be romance at all in this story?

Filler or not, still quite enjoyable

Looking forward to the next!

>>794631794631 I'm on the fence, really. I'm not the greatest at writing romance - I can, but it frequently comes off as clunky and awkward. I MAY include romance, but there will definitely not be just a bunch of token relationships. (Caboose and Pinkie, Sarge and AJ, ETC) If anything, I will probably touch on Church finally resolving his problems with Tex, and then 'Moving on' to someone new.

---

By the way, in case anyone is wondering: I'm functioning on two rules here:

ONE: Donut is not dead. (Sponsor ending of Revalation Chapter 13)

TWO: Tex is POSSIBLY still around. (Not just for closure, but because Church/Epsilon is LITERALLY there to remember things. I don't think he can just forget Tex like that)

>>794656794656 Thanks!

>>794667794667 on the topic of Tex, I had thought that was how he's in Equestria, so I'm hoping she's still around.

Q: will Church ever get his humaniod form back while in equestria/memory unit?

>>796051796051

Hmm...

Hmmm...

Hmmmmmmm...

We're sorry. The number you requested has been changed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

*click*

(Maybe. Haven't really thought about it)

Authors Note:

Okay, so most of this was filler as well. Mostly just setting up for future scenes, but for now I'll keep my sights on the imminent shitstorm that's about to hit Ponyville.

And if anyone wants to know WHY Church is behaving like he's about to rip Dash's face off and eat it: it's because he just recently 'forgot' Tex, who was the closest he's had to a family for a long time - only to have all of it ruined by his not-dying, and instead being pulled into the real world. So... yeah. I would imagine that entire field to be a touchy subject.

Also, production on the next few chapters might be slow. I've come up with an idea for another Fimfiction, and I would like to get to work on that. (If anyone want's a hint, It'll probably be named: "The Piano Man")

DUCK AND COVER PEOPLE!

yeah... best not to bring up the subject of a fiance or family when talking to church. Still, it's like he said at the end of season 8. "A great love is a lot like a good memory. When it's there, and you know it's there, but it's just out of your reach, it can be all that you think about. Then you can focus on it and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and you hold still, well maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you." If he just sits back, it'll come to him.

uh oh the shit is about to hit the fan!

H H H... Hmm heaven hell.. Halo array.. Humans.. Probably is humans.

Ooooo....Rainbow...He's not even "alive."

INCOMING SHITSTORM! TAKE COVER AND WATCH!

........let the insults begin

I hope I don't sound like an ass but... would you mind making longer chapters? It's not like you have to, it's just that people usually like to read longer things

(then again i could be talking out of my ass again)

All in all, a great chapter

>>805077805077 I end the chapters at a length that is suitable. In the future there could be a chapter that lasts for 3,000 words, and there could be one that only runs for 900. You'll just need to take the good with the bad.

Okay, with the first chapter of The Piano Man released, I can focus on the next chapter for EiE. Sorry for the holdup.

>>805077805077 >>796051796051 >>794747794747 >>801335801335 For the record: I have the next chapter written up, but I'm not happy with it. I'm going to take a break, and come back to it later. It has too many scene changes, and the dialogue is too clunky.

I'm really sorry at how long this update's taking. The next chapter should be up in no more than a day.

(BTW, I made this as a reply to multiple comments so that people would actually notice this. I fell pretty bad about taking so long)

Author's Note:

I'll say it right now: I don't like this chapter. It was pretty much an obligatory filler, it's short, and the dialogue is not the way I would have liked it - but I haven't updated this in close to six days, so I needed to release this.

I don't like this chapter. I don't.

P.S. Sorry to anyone who was hoping for more of a conflict between Dash and Church. I'm trying to build up to bigger long distance problems than putting in small arguments.

OBLIGATORY FILLER FOR THE WIN!!!

>>834458834458 No, seriously. I hate this chapter. I feel like I'm letting down the readers. (If only this story were popular enough/had enough readers for that to be true.

Huh. I just noticed that my little 'updates' created a stack of four comments all by me. It looks kinda pathetic. (Why do I care so much about my 'public image' on the internet anyway?)

>>834465834465 I know how ya feels, comment stacks and everything. I'm just beginning, so my stories definitely don't have a lot of popularity yet.

On the "letting us down" part of things... Well, the chapter wasn't too long, and it certainly was filler, but I liked it well enough. I'm fine if authors put in a filler chapter every once in a while to keep their sanity.

>>834474834474 I'm sure the last chapter was filler as well - Wait, was the one before that as well? No, I don't think so... I hope not.

My god. They were. They were progressive filler, but filler nonetheless.

I'm so disappointed in myself.

I agree that this chapter is a far cry from your best. I would suggest not forcing yourself to post a sub-par chapter. Most of us are willing to wait a bit longer if it means better quality work.

As for this chapter in patricular... I'd actually recommend waiting until you have enough material for a more satisfactory chapter then combining the two. But that's just me...

I shall patiently await the further adventures of Church

>>834500834500 Thanks. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Hopefully I'll be in the right mind-set for this after another chapter for The Piano Man.

EDIT: Just browsing my favorites, and I learnt that for some reason both of my stories were on the list. I took them off immediately. I don't know how I made that mistake, but I did.

it may just be a filler with little substance....but so are twinkies and i like them therefore i like this chapter

>>834603834603 I've never had a Twinkie. We don't have them here.

(Actually, one of my friends once mentioned that they have Twinkie's at the local United Video, but I've still never tried one)

nice chapter, well nice for filler anyway... i look forward to the next proper update

i have a theory on why the Unit created Equestria.

ok here goes: when Church let go/forgot Tex she was assimilated by the Unit, the Unit being damged by Caboose 'glitched' for lack of better word created Equestria for Tex's Memories, so that means as a child she was a fan of MLP: FIM or that she is infact non other than Lauren Faust! how close am i? or am i so far off the mark i'm in another star system?

>>834682834682 Well, you were close with the whole 'glitch' idea. Equestria was loaded by a glitch caused when the unit hit the wall, which was why at the moment it hit, Church broke through into Ponyville.

To be honest, I haven't fully thought through all of the explanations for EVERYTHING, but if there is one thing that RvB has taught us all, it's that 'Making crap up as you go along can POSSIBLY, MAYBE PROBABLY NOT evolve into a good over-arcing plot with surprisingly few plot-holes.

Hmm. Better filler chapter than before and also typo in chapter name. last chapter was 7 this one is 9

>>835161835161 Huh. That's odd. I could have sworn... *shrug* Well, thanks. Fixed.

No good deed goes unpunished.

The Epsilon unit is just for memorys...

Maybe this is a memory! At some point the directors group found Equestria, and prehaps, for research, they abducted a unicorn or two, (That'd make the sudden strange pieces of tech [Slowing time for the meta for instance] have some explanation) Just enough not to get the attention of the walking auto Mac cannon >

Once again, the glorious strategy of biding ones time instead of reading every chapter as soon as it's released has payed off.

No wondering what the heck is going to happen for the next 10 minutes then forgetting about the story completely until the next chapter is released for me!

"It's NEVER enough! Every time I think I'm finally fucking happy, it gets snatched the fuck away!"

Yeah, because you were cheering and smiling and viewing the world through rainbows 'n sunshine several minutes earlier.

+-----+

Hmm, at the end of that scene, I had the brief thought that maybe Rainbow could be filling in as Tex in this made up world in some way. Those two do act kinda similar... nah Stupid idea, still leaving it in though.

>>838486838486 Thanks for the feedback. As for the 'being happy' thing: Church was finally happy at the end of season 9, and then it got ripped away by Caboose and the others. He's still sour about it. (I also think he may have been mildly content at the end of season 5, but that's less relevant.

Well... You've got to get through filler crap to get to the good plot points. Keep goin and stay golden^^

GET DOWN

Author's Note:

A short chapter today - mostly just setting up for the next chapter. That said, this actually isn't filler. This is progression. (For a change)

I didn't do a thorough proof-read on this one, so please notify me of any mistakes.

Author's Note:

Well, The next chapter is going to be fun to write. Who wants some hard cider?

ANOTHER RvB crossover?!

Image: http://fim.413chan.net/fim/src/133261144736-The-Fun-has-Doubled-.jpg

>>888297888297 At least it's better in quality than... Well, I don't want to say which story, but a little poking around should yield results.

It's author removes any comments that aren't positive. (Mine was pointing out that it was an obvious clone of My Little Caboose )

>>888321888321

Lol, I think this and My Little Caboose are the only two I will be reading.
