Cold Snap

A Texas man wakes up one morning, and soon realizes he's turned into everyone's favorite farm pony. He freaks out at first, of course, but could this end up being what he needs to turn his life around?

Part of the Pony Earthverse collaboration.

excellent writing so far, looking forward to more. :ajsmug:

Hm... seems in order.
I like the writing style. It doesn't strain my eyes with grammatical errors. Keep up the good work.
Get along, little doggy! :ajsmug:

I praise the quality of the writing. No noticeable spelling or grammar errors, and AJ's accent was portrayed quite nicely.

Also, keep that hat. We all know how important hats are. :ajsmug:

Well, if I may say, sir, for your first piece of fiction ever, you've certainly done well for yourself!
No major grammatical problems, solid set-up, believable speech-to-text for AJ's accent. You're off to a great start! :twilightsmile:

1690001 No, there are. I was lazy yesterday. :moustache:

1686314 I'm gonna have to agree with you there
also, pic is invalid :rainbowlaugh:
And why didn't he notice that his . . . thing was missing
you know
the thing that guys have *wink wink*
You'd think he would've noticed
but anyways, I pretty much came here for the comments
AND THIS CLOSET BRONY GETS NO SYMPATHY FROM ME. :twilightangry2:

I...totally forgot about that.
Wow, I'm an idiot. :facehoof:
I COULD chalk it up to him still being in shock, but oh well, something to bring up in the next chapter, I guess.

So you're the new Applejack now huh? I was about to read the other guy's story along with the one who became Rarity due to me reading 4 of those stories now so I figured why not the rest. Although I feel like that this beginning has a more dramatic realistic feel to it than most others. I wish you luck in your collaborative effort.

:ajbemused: I fear for my sanity that I was able to completely comprehend AJ's accent in text. All in all an enjoyable beginning, now make more!

...Holy cow, I just realized how long it's been since I've posted this thing with no follow-up.
What is WRONG with me? I could use the upcoming college final exams as an excuse, but would Applejack accept such bull?
Anyway, I have about 1100 words of chapter 2 done as of this writing, and obviously more are to come.

Chapter 2 will be up by January 31. The reasons for the delay (which I do apologize for) will be explained in the author's note at the end.

Woah sorry, to hear that from you and glad that you're now getting better at the moment, but don't push yourself too much just to write the story though.

My comments about the current chapter: I feel like your reaction in there is almost like mine if I suddenly turn into a girl pony or one of the mane cast. Even though I'll probably be downplayed in that reaction knowing that in someone else's body but... in this world there's that whole merging thing, I'm afriad of how you're going to react to this news later in the story.

Don't worry, there's a plan for when he realizes what's going on in his mind.
It's just going to take a while to get there.

Considering your location, if your mother thinks you were stolen, she, or anyone else with the same assumption, could legally hang your brother. I would say that is a VERY GOOD reason to clear up any misunderstandings. According to outdated laws, anyway.

It's good to see that this has updated and will be updated at least somewhat regularly from here on (I hope).

He's alive! :pinkiehappy:
Speaking of messed up sleep schedules, I should get to bed now. :ajsleepy:
Oh, and congrats on the graduating!

2050812 um, i thought it was dr. dolittle that had the dog in it.
:rainbowhuh:

2075703
...Oh, shoot, you're right!
Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed now.

2076248 you're welcome. glad i could help.
:pinkiehappy:

Darling don't worry about a thing. This feels fantastic and I can't wait to see how things go.

Hey, Weaver said to bug you, so bug bug bug bug bug. Chapter. Do it.

--thatwaseasy--

Luck out!

So when do you think you'll get another chapter up? Just a rough estimate would be nice.

~Take your time
Take your time
1, 2, 3, 4
You can only write so fast
What's done is done and the past is passed.~
Doh! :facehoof: My rhythm's off.
Oh well.

This one's on me.

Much obliged. :ajsmug:

It's alright. I'm just glad you managed to make a whole new chapter and I just now realized why it makes sense for why AJ ended up overtaking this guy's body. Things are going to get worse for Matthew, when AJ finally starts speaking to his mind directly and I don't think she'll be happy about this one bit.

Here's hoping for your sake that she didn't always want you as a daughter.:applejackconfused:

I think the chapter ended too soon. Still, it's nice to see this updated. Here's hoping that chapters become a semi-regular thing :yay:

2277745 You're right, it did. I had more planned, but I realized that you guys had waited too long already.

>My middle name is Matthew

>My mom's maiden name is Harrison

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

Yay another good ponyearthverse story to add to my favourites (no damn autocorrect if I want to use English spelling i will, ass hole) list!
As always I look forward to more updates!

Well... Is this story continuing or not?

I hope it continues considering that it is not only interesting, but it is also one of the major stories of the collab considering applejack being the element of honesty.

Believe me, it will continue. This fic WILL be completed--it's my responsibility.
And thank you for the kind words.
But...holy cow, how do Markus, Reid and Erica's writers DO this? Writing a story on my own for the first time ever is...it's so, so much harder than I thought it would be.
I thought the ideas would come flowing out of me like water, but I've since realized that I can't just turn on creativity like a faucet...unlike a select few, like Alan Moore, Gail Simone, and of course Lauren Faust.
I have to say once more that this is the first fanfic I've ever written. And I grossly underestimated just how hard it is to write a story that most people would want to read.
But I promise you, I am still writing. It's slow as Celestia-knows-what, but I am writing. One thing I hate to see on fanfic sites is a story that's sat incomplete for years, and that will NOT happen with this.
Especially since the next two chapters are, by far, the most emotional to date.

switch to 240p, the lowest resolution

144p :trollestia:

dis gon' be gud :rainbowkiss:
I can hardly wait for the next chapter!

Oh come on! Not this again!

I am so sorry.
I overestimated my own mental stamina.
Plus my new job, which requires me to be away from a computer for two days and three nights, and...well, I realized that I'm dragging down the whole collab with my sloth.
I feel terrible, but Hope says I could be a really good writer if I just wrote at my own pace.
I blame myself for this. No excuses.
If you want to stop following me, or unfavorite the story, I understand. I've let you all down.

Writing a story on my own for the first time ever

That's 99% of why it's so hard.
Just don't give two sheeps about it and write whatever. After your third story doing that, it'll be easier to make a good one. My first story was about gratuitous praise for a character who the author didn't think was a total asshole, who made jokes that were repeated stereotypical catch phrases, a technique that I thought seemed wittily clever at the time. my second one was about the horror of mundane existence secretly caused by a decadent society of immortality seeking angels. I got lost after about the second chapter.
