Fooling around with magic is not usually a very smart thing to do, but for Twilight Sparkle it comes with her keenness to learn new things. After over-estimating the power flux in one of her spells, she and her friends are transported to our world: Earth.
At first no one is sure how to react to these cute little 'aliens', but due to lucky circumstances (and certain administrative influences) they are quickly welcomed by international community and adopted by the millions of die-hard fans as guests of honor.
Now, armed with diplomatic passports granting them free passage into most countries, and along with their human guide Andrew in tow, the Mane Six visit our world to try and learn about us, our various cultures, our past, our present, our ways, the differences between their world and ours, and also to find a way back home.
not bad looking foward to more
This fic appears to have the ability to travel space AND time. My feed says it was released 5 hours ago. The post date on the first chapter is nearly 2 YEARS ago. And yet, it's at the top of your publication list as if it really was the latest story you released. Either that's a hell of a bug or someone should look around for the blue box and that damned madman who owns it.
Edit- Well upon reading the fic I can't say what I feel. On the one hand Tap feels like a Gary Stu for being Too Perfect, on the other, especially at the end where he pointed out one of his ways to make stupid levels of money off of this, (Reality TV starring the Mane Six WOULD be stupidly popular) I can start to see some of his motives and they make sense, but he still feels off.
QUESTIONS! How did Twilight get all the girls to understand English if her magic is that diminished? How long does the spell last? Indefinite wouldn't really fit with 'magic isn't really working here' issue. So how often does it need to be recast, and how much of a strain is it?
7334954 Actually, I just thought I implied that the spell sort of triggered an understanding that would, for the most part, implant the knowledge of the language. Like suddenly learning French or German. That is a good point though.
And to answer your question, I've been writing this for two years on and off. I only just published it.
7335577 Welp, the magic is yours to explain or not. That is the point after all "How the fuck did you do that?!" "Magic." "That doesn't explain anything!" "It's magic, I don't have to." However it DOES sound like a powerful spell, or at least a really damn useful one, and that's why I asked given that you went out of your way to weaken what could be done on Earth with magic.
As for the other thing, the truth just doesn't seem nearly as funny/entertaining, so I will pretend I didn't see it and look out for the box and it's madman.
7335688 It's funny you mentioned that, because that's the primary cause and prose of one other fic that I'm writing. I guess it influenced this a little bit. But thanks for the exit!
just gained a follower. Also, go back and check your spelling, just a couple minor fixes. But otherwise, good start
7335748 I'm not leaving at all, simply waiting for the next chapter. I just don't find the reason behind the time thing to be nearly as entertaining as I thought it would be.
7335938 I meant to say that I understand where you're coming from, and exit as in 'thanks for giving me a reason to explain the English to Equestrian understanding' thing. I hadn't realized it was a plot hole until you pointed it out.
Anyway... time to churn out another chapter for another story that I've been neglecting for nearly a year...
7335959 Ah, fair enough. Also finish this one FIRST. It amuses me. You won't like me when I have to entertain myself. Just ask the guy who blew up my 70" Plasma Screen TV.
7336185 Alucard!?!?!
7336191 Not quite, but "Suuuup?"
