Awesome so far and intriguingly original.

Fav'd

I was surprised you released it already

Should probably make the paragraphs more attractive to the eyes, i don't know one space bar at the beginning of each paragraph (non-speech) should do the trick

ERGH! CLIFFHANGER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Lovin' it. Can't get enough Sci-fi spaceships in this fandom.

Interested to see where you take this. Discord in the role of Murray the skull hooked me.

That cover art has piqued my attention. To read later you go!

much better

>>14747691474769 Read it now, you silly person!

And as I said earlier Toix, this is amazing. To quote a certain Doctor, you are Fantastic. And so's the start of this piece of fiction.

Cool story.

I find THIS Goes with it.

Oh my god. It feels like you are writing this story specifically for me, it pushes all of my buttons very well. Are you a wizard?

I must have more! On to the next chapter!

Well, that's not good. So Twilight's magic is unreliable at times?

>>14832311483231

You could even say it's chaotic...hah, get it, get it? Because of the...ah, I'll show myself out.

Nooooooooooo, I have no more unread chapters of this to read!

But I have hope, surely more will come eventually!

Well written sci-fi & is very much a weak spot for me, and this isn't just well written, it's straight up fantastic. I can't wait to learn about the history of how Equestria became an interplanetary civilization, assuming we get that, and I always love a good Twilight/Discord team up.

This has achieved a well deserved early entry onto my user page wall of recommended stories, should have it there as soon as my user page is no longer broken.

>>14833571483357

I plan on releasing an episode of this (divided into three chapters each time) about once ever week or week-and-a-half, so expect more to come. Glad you approve of the story, and yes there will be some serious world building. But remember, traveling across time and space doesn't only involve the future.

>>14833831483383 Sounds like a nice and speedy update plan, I am really looking forward to both the future and the past world building. Is this in any way connected to your Freeze Frame continuity?

Incidentally, here is a good approximation of my face after this first set of three ->

>>14834611483461

Glad to hear it! And yes, both Freeze Frame and Out of Touch are within the same continuity, so there expect some things in one story to carry over to another.

My face when when people have taken this first episode so well->

Well this does not bode well.... For them. For me this means a brand new story to watch on updates for!

This is going to update every week and a half!!! *faints*

I yearn for more and by gods I am happy your readers will get it.

Will the real Starswirl please stand up.

History time!

Interesting that our protagonist is entirely unfamiliar with her earth pony magic.

Well this should prove interesting if they actually have some effect on history... Still watching closely.

Anyways, mfw the ending:

But then I:

Image: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTXf0rDAsHdqC-vBmZBKmWGp8oNU6mRWlPVsOrdBHIEhLbFjUp3

So... Twilight is quantum-leaping through time and space, soul bound to Discord, with a curious young Earth Pony in tow.

I wonder who the other entities that know about Twilight are.

Celestia

Silverback (King o Dragons)

Tinkerer

Discord I assume

2 others? Or 3 others...

When I saw the cover, I immediately thought Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I will probably read this. Dunno.

When I read this, I simply expected Twilight experimenting with time travel. What I got was a fusion of Dr. Who and MLP. And it. is. awesome.

>>15506271550627

I consider myself both a brony and Whovian, so I am glad to hear it worked out so well.

This is one of them insta-fave stories.

I'll enjoy reading this later.

Really enjoy it.

Enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy Rush

Damn. Now that was an ass kicking.

Twilight even smiled a little bit herself. “Spoilers.”

I see Discord prefers the gentle touch.

>>15506191550619

Do. You will NOT regret reading this.

>>15506361550636

I guess you could say you're a...

Hoove-ian? XD Badumtish!

I'll see myself out...

Bravo my good sir!  That was certainly worth the read, and I eagerly await more.  I certainly see a lot of Doctor Who influence in that first "episode,"  and I like it.  Keep going with what you have, because you are certainly doing something right.

My reaction was

>twilightsparkleyes.gif

And then I sad'd when I finished the chapter.

Waiting for new chapters of this story are like reliving the Harry Potter writing. I squee every time I see that a new one has come out.

And as the story progresses, I find myself more and more curious about how this uneasy binding of Twilight and Discord came about. Will that ever be explained?

>>15510841551084

What could of storyteller would I be if I didn't explain it at some point? Also, love your username.

>>15510931551093 Awesome! My brother writes a webcomic that has more plotholes than a changling, so..

On a side note, it's been quite a while since someone noticed my username. Thanks.

>>15506361550636

Yeah, immediately after Twi showed up I was reminded of the Doctor, and I knew that you were imitating that sort of style when the office encounter happened, since that's pretty much exactly how the new Doctors got some of his companions. Kind of reminded me of that episode with Rose and that space station.

Anyway, this is a really interesting take, which gives the "Madmare with a tattoo" (not as catchy as a "Madman with a box") a lot fewer opportunities to take offscreen vacations, like is implied with the Doctor. I'm really curious where you're going to take this, so I'll sit back and watch, now.

Ah time travel, how the hell did we humans ever manage to come up with the idea of it? That and implement it into story's!? Loving this story and that title, I love Hall and Oates.

I was half expecting him to introduce himself as "The Great and Powerful Starswirl".

I don't know how to take this. Great story i'd say. Is it in my top ten? Will withhold judgment for the next chapter.

This is possibly the worst story I ever read! I cannot believe you have the sheer gall to call yourself an author!

>>15567661556766

I cry evertim

Well only five chapters and i am hooked, cant wait to see whats in store.Hopefully some more badass Twi .

>>15567661556766 Dont mean to be a pest but care to elaborate why?

OK so my timing is incredible with this one and I'm glad it was awesome chapter.

Whoo! Didn't see that coming, although I probably should've.

One question: did you get Twi's nickname from my comment or from the obvious compare and contrast with the Doctor, the "madman with a box"?

>>15678021567802

Why, from your comment of course. Congrats, you're canon!

>>15678191567819

It's too bad it isn't quite as catchy, though.

Oops, just noticed after the refresh -

what other reason could their be?

>>15678481567848

Well, it's pretty hard to beat The Doctor, so I'm not too bummed about it.

Oh, and fixed the error. Thanks for catching it.

And Discord has been around for how long?

>>15679061567906

Total? Quite a while. With Twilight? Well, that's to be revealed.

>>14744301474430 You mean tab paragraphs like the consesus is. Maybe they are a rebel writer? Lots of those in history AND modern day.

>>15679161567916 I meant in regards to the pony tail comment

>>15680761568076

Oh. He's not the most observant draconequus in the world, or maybe he's just crazy. Who knows? I don't.

>>15680811568081 seems legit

Well this is different, I was kinda confused in the start but this is definitely one of the more interesting ideas. It'll be interesting to read about the adventures of a time-space traveling Twilight.

(Her fight name should have been The Mare with the Dragon Tattoo)

I actually like this Twilight.

Starswirl was the gardener, man, I really feel like I should have guessed that.

"Right-O; not even enough time for a quickie.”

And not even a denial from Twilight about that comment...

Can't wait for the next arc!

I started reading this on a whim... Best whim ever.

>>15695781569578

Hmmm this reminds me of Doctor Who, were you trying for that?

>>15696021569602

Maybe.

Image: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5279/doctorwhotrustyourdocto.jpg

>>15696161569616 You are so awesome

...wait... so they're trapped in time going from place to place learning and solving things? ...what a fate... I think it'd get pretty lonely... at least they have Discord to keep them company!

Ah man, this story is getting in my favorites.

Delightful! This story has gotten to be quite interesting! I was intrigued by this story awhile earlier, but now I can't help but smirk at the humor, coincidences, and irony. You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. Keep on with the mind-bending, because I just love this Doctor-like theme.

“Oh bravo, I really like this one! Oh please can we keep her, mommy?”

“Right-O; not even enough time for a quickie.”

I could not help but laugh! Discord at his finest! I am quickly becoming a fan of your take on the characters from the show as well as Tinker. Keep up the good work! Hmmm ... enough rambling from me now, I look forward to the next chapter!

Oh how I love this story.

Barely found it when in updated Chapter 5. Almost missed it.

Glad I didn't. Your story is good and you should feel good.

Waht a tweest!

Reminds me of the episode with the sentient plasma being harvested from a sun, but that was more of a survival horror scenario. Also, yay misinformation/all negotiators getting corrupted and becoming aggressive.

...I think that's everything. Maybe.

A relatively classic sci-fi tale ... with magic ... and ponies ... this could get interesting.

MOAR!!

Very unique approach, and enjoyable. Here is hoping your muse always gives you strength.

Ooooo. The suspense builds...

Both sides seem to think the other is crazy. I'm sensing some third party at work here.

Also... Paragraph 86, Sentence 1: "The light-green sergeant led us back to the elevator and we screeched our way down further into the bowels of the ship."

>>15843991584399

Also, thanks for the grammar catch. Fixed.

This reminds me of an episode of farscape where the sun held a demon  its been a while.

Reminds me of the Impossible Planet. Oh, do continue. I always enjoyed a good deep-space mystery.

An evil sun, that can’t be good.

XD I KNEW he was the gardener! I asked Toix, and he was all like: "Maybe... >.>"

Toix, can you vouch for me...? I have a feeling nopony's going to believe me...

>>15839191583919

...I think that's everything. Maybe.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are...

Great chapter I really like world jumping stories so many environments you can play with.  Now wasn't wolf 359 wher the federation got the crap beaten out of them by the Borg?

>>15876011587601

Glad to see someone caught the reference.

Quantum Leap meets Doctor Who

With a badass Twilight!

This fic is awesome. I love the concept of Twilight and Discord getting stuck with each other.

P.S. The reaction in stars isn't fission (the splitting of atoms), it's fusion (The combining of atoms).

>>15915401591540

Dammit, I always get the two confused. Thanks for pointing it out; it'll be fixed shortly.

>>15915441591544 I did too for a long time, and I'm a quantum, and astrophysics buff.

What's this?

a mysterious mare in a crimson cloak and a tattoo in the shape of a draconequus that runs the length of her body.

Am I the only guy here who thought of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

>>15996351599635

A young inventor by the name of Tinker has her life turned around with the arrival of a mysterious mare in a crimson cloak and a tattoo in the shape of a draconequus that runs the length of her body. When their fates become intertwined, Tinker will travel through time and space with the pony once known as Twilight Sparkle and witness the nature of her universe and the ponies who inhabit it.

>>15506271550627

Eh, I say more MLP than Dr. Who. There's a healthy dose of time travel going down though. I'm getting kind of loopy here, same problem I have with Dr. Who -- don't have a clue what's going on no hope for any kind of resolution.

>>15996541599654

Hehe, clever.

Good on ya mate!

>>15996541599654 This reminds me of Doctor Who

You see... the ending is why I like guns. The thing falls in front you, you scream, and then you shoot it. Easy. Tinker, tinker, tinker... if only you knew. The first rule of going on an infected space ship is to always bring your gun.

That last bit was quite creepy. But the kind of creepy that gets you excited for the next chapter :D

YES! I love that dead space trailer!
