You ever have one of those days where you've woken up after a great night drinking with your friends, and you discover you've been turned into a colourful talking horse with a tattoo on its rear end?
No?
Well I have, so shut up.
The name I've taken for myself is Sharp Sight. I won't bother telling you my real name, since it's not gonna be used that much and you probably won't remember it.
This will mostly account my figuring out why I'm a technicolor equine and getting used to having four legs and seeing purple and blue horses talking, flying and using magic like it's nobody's business.
I don't have a 'waifu' to chase down and use my improbable charisma to get her to fall in love with me within minutes, so don't expect any of this.
On the other hand - or hoof, whichever floats your particular tea set - if you want to watch a snarky pony fall over his own legs and be frightened by his own shadow from the possibility of it coming to life and trying to eat his face, then this is the read for you.
So fire away and enjoy yourself. Laugh if you can, and feel free to leave any feedback. Believe it or not, it's appreciated.
Hmm this seems to be interesting. I'll put this into my tracking tab for now. This like a lot of other stories I've read has potential. I await to see what you do with said potential.
Seems good so far.

7418298 Thanks much!
7418306 You're welcome. I found myself laughing at this one as well. I also enjoyed the discritption.
7418384 I'm glad you did!
It feels great when your comedy makes someone laugh 
Is this a self-insert? Please note that I'll still read it even if it is.
7418633 Oh not at all, I try my best to avoid self-insert
Ok, interesting start, let's see where this goes.
7418976 You
hopefullypossiblymaybewon't be disappointedAs far as 'Random guy wakes up in Equestria' stories go, this seems like one of the better ones.
7419223 Really? Wow, thanks!
7419882 Well it's not my journey per say, but I'm glad you think so!
7419963 Shhhhhhhhhhhh they'll be onto us
love this story! what is everypony good at? whatever they want! but also exactly what their cutie mark says. but it doesn't say anything. APPLE. great story. :) i wonder what my cutie mark would be :o
7419985 atthay orksway
7420132 What else is there to life but apple? And I've often worried about my own cutie mark :o
7420322 mine's a yin-yang all mixed up. so i know what's up but w/ a bit of a weird edge. yours could be anything! :D
7420487 Little bit of edge never hurt :D just a little though.
I dunno, I always figured mine would either be a quill on paper, or a chocolate bar. Almost definitely a chocolate bar tho. Maybe a quill writing on a chocolate bar.
7420669 it could be a chocolate bar and you could write anything you wanted on the label. or put a picture on it. or make it your favorite color. chocolate bar + words = you. delicious!
I still take the chance for a romance that actually needs more than a few days to happen instead of within minutes. (where usually one is already lovestruck.
Even if it shouldn't be like that, I give it a fair chance, there is always the chance for a sequel.
7420926 ...my god, you're a genius!
7421040 Oh I'm not done with this yet
if there's gonna be any romance, it's gonna take much more than honeyed words and a few hours of acquaintanceship
7421273 some people tell me that, but now i know it's true
7422684 Well now you're convinced!
7422834 of oursecay, I have a egreeday in igpay atinlay
7423287 usttray me, I am a offessionalpray
is story ded?
7706690 Oh no it's not dead! It's just on hold until I have some good ideas on where to take it next!
Hey, look, a human-becomes-pony story that actually looks like a good one! It's been, like, over a year since I've last stumbled on one. I hope you continue it someday.

"Good" ideas are overrated. Quality execution is worth about 100x more than a good or original idea. I found this story after reading your other story The Dusty Trail. That story is fairly similar to other stories featuring Lightning Dust. The idea behind it is a decent one, sure, but not an exceptional one. The Dusty Trail is on the front page right now, with many positive comments, and that's because you really brought it to life, /rant.
7758120 That's what I was hoping to do
I do plan to continue it some day!
Yeah, I should have phrased that better--I'm more waiting for the inspiration for this story in particular to kick back in, so I can give it some quality content
I'm really happy to hear your thoughts about The Dusty Trail too, thanks!
Though I'm still shocked it became that successful7758261

7758326 I'ma need to import a few gallons of this stuff, maybe bathe in it for an hour
Yay! it's incomplete! I was just about to say after reading Dusty Trail that you must have a thing for ending stories somewhat abruptly. This could also use a follow up, but it's mercifully incomplete.
I don't read a ton of HiE stories because its hard to come across a good one. I have read even less Human as A Pony stories but I think this is the most accurate I could possibly imagine. I see lots of scenarios where he tries to grab things or open doors with fingers he doesn't any more and it looks hilarious.
This was funny, well written, and clever. In my personal experience I haven't read anything like it, so to ME at least it's completely original.
If the 3rd story by Unicorncob is as good as the 2 I've read then I'm going to start wishing for more stories.
7765317 Thanks very much!
Yeah, I really wanted to take a more realistic approach to the 'human figuring out how to pony' thing
Hopefully I'll have some follow-ups soon!
Ohhh this looks promising. Tracking.
7879875 Thanks much! I'll certainly try to continue this soon
This isn't dead? What a pleasant surprise.
8178004 Real life happened, you know how it is
Dear God my sides, update when?
8179060 Update when I have a clear idea for one
8179123
Good enough for me :V
Until next time on "Sharp Sight's Misadventures as the Unofficial Errand Pony."
8267933
Season 1 now on Netflanks
8269236
And that is why I miss having any sort of TV subscriptions.
8269245
I feel you, sometimes it's worth it for once
Ah, don't worry, bud! You are just going to find yourself being shoved around by Murphy
a little bita lot.Also, what is wrong with Lyra? I'm going to assume you are going with the major fanon of "I am lyra and luvvvv huemanz." And that she detected somehow that he was a human...
8303312
Stick with Murphy, you'll be alright
And yeah I was sorta going for that, like she has this strong feeling he's not from around there. And she's likely going to stalk him for a while.
This is interesting so far I hope there will be more of the back story as to why Sharp managed to arrive in Equestria.
8306143
All shall
eventuallybe explainedYou writing is improving still I hope you continue with this story. Looks like he is carving his place in Ponyville, looks like he managed to get work from Rarity and shown that he can do a job without balling on her when it's too hard. Looking forward to see more of this.
Yay glad to see more of this.
I’m enjoying the style this is written in and look forwards to more.
9060509
Gotta make a good first impression!
Thank you for the kind words
9061100
Yeah, I've been wanting to get back to this but real life's been getting in the way
Glad to see you like it, the style's fun for me to write too

I definitely like this story, glad I tracked it all that time ago.
Hopefully it won't be a year between each update though lol.
9063283
Oh believe me, I'm gonna try and get a grip on that
Glad to see you came back though
