Thanks for posting this! I'm enjoying this a great deal!
Very enjoyable so far. The tone is very down to earth, and you're doing well on the voices and reactions of the ponies.
Thank you for the compliments! Hopefully I'll be able to keep pleasing as more characters appear.
Oh my god, MOAR!
I don't understand why Granny's racist here. It makes no sense, and it's been shown that the family has good relations with Fluttershy, Dash, and the others. AND she's met Princess Celestia.
It just makes no real sense.

It's not that she's racist, really, it's just that pony society is changing, with different types of ponies mixing more than they used to, and like a lot of older people Granny finds the change somewhat confusing and scary. There's more context to come, though.
Pretty interesting dynamic you have going there, with Applebloom, Mac, and Rainbow Dash all falling into the trap of seeing unicorns and pegasi as earth ponies with extra features, while Applejack and Fluttershy clearly realize that they've both lost and gained from the switch. Can't wait to see more of it.
Curiously, I find myself hoping that they don't find a way to switch back in the end.
Great story so far, looking forward to more! Hope Fluttershy gets in touch with earth pony magic, since she wants to be a tree in the first place, ehehe.
As for the fella who was asking about Granny Smith being a bit bigoted, honestly, I could see it happening. Back when my grandparents were still alive they seemed pretty tolerant, so I was shocked when my mom told me about how her parents once really flipped out when she went on a date with someone of a different ethnicity. Even nice people like Granny Smith can still be a product of their generation, I'd say. (And yes, she's friends with some pegasi, but there's definitely a difference between 'being friendly to' and 'having one in the family')
I hope for AJ's sake that Lauren Faust was just trolling when she said that pegasus gas is helium. That would weird just about anyone out.
Pomme Floraison? I'm not gonna learn french or translate that. But I'm pretty sure that just means Applebloom
Ooh! So glad to see a new part to this, I enjoyed it. Things with the Apple family sound like they'll get interesting soon!
Wow, Flutters /seems/ to be taking this suspiciously well..

Correct! Apparently she remembers a little Fancy.

Not to spoil, but there will be more light shed on this in the next chapter.
Ha! By sheer coincidence, if you flipped this picture over it would look almost perfect for just after Fluttershy gets out of the harness after the accident.
I love the name Pomme Floraison. Apple Bloom should totally change to that
Also loved Rainbow's reaction at the end. Good job
Oh wow, Flutters really does have that secret internal wellspring of strength thing going, doesn't she? Lovely chapter!
Yay, a new chapter! Good pace and development, I really enjoyed it. I wonder what Rares has up her sleeve?
Just a little heads up - Part Nine is almost complete, but there's a stubborn bit that I just can't get to flow right.
I'm hoping I'll have it worked out by Monday.
Well, here it is! Sorry if it's not as polished as the previous chapters.
I hope to have the next chapter up in a couple of weeks or so.
Yay! A new chapter! It's nice to see both AJ and Flutters coming to terms with the change enough to try earth-pony/pegasus things.
I have a feeling that it isn't really over, or there wouldn't be a story to tell. Am I over-thinking this?
I wonder. 
I think I might be.
While I work on the next part: Not done for the story in any way, but a good illustration nonetheless! PegaJack by sapoltop on dA.
While I fight with my writer's block, check out this coincidentally amusing picture
Just wanted to give a word of encouragement. This is a thoroughly fun story and I hope to see it finished.
Just starting with the first chapter here, going to have a look at the rest later when I get a chance.
So I see promise and problems with this chapter...
Promise:
Decent writing, you manage to make it engaging despite... well, we'll get to that. However, you absolutely have talent and you should continue writing, by all means.
You use recalcitrant, I am most pleased.
Characters seem to be pretty spot on
Got Zecora's cadence down very nicely.
Problems:
Some punctuation and grammatical errors that even I was able to spot.
The more serious problem is that I honestly felt no pressing drama through the entire chapter. It feels like the racial type switch was just a thing that happened, no big deal. I felt neither a sense of urgency nor of poignancy.
We have no insight into character motivations or feelings; this is a huge lapse, especially for a transformation story.
Spike and Pinkie Pie served literally no purpose this entire chapter. Well, to be fair, Pinkie Pie did add some color, but Spike was clearly phoning his appearance in. Rainbow, at least, offered something for us to bite down on, by antagonizing Applejack.
I'll chime in again when I'm further along.
2080900 Ha! There are different shades of racism, bro. Some people simply hate other ethnicities and some folks just don't like mixing their peas with their mashed potatoes.
Update?
when is the next update likely to be

I for one thoroughly enjoyed the chapter.
