This just came to me in a burst of - well, whatever it was, it wasn't inspiration.
"So how do we get to your place in Manehattan?"
"Get off the train at Sixth Street, go two blocks west to Bad Gateway, and hang a left. I'm at 502."
So, any chance that you'll be releasing a chapter anytime soon?

At the 5800-word mark now. This may or may not be two complete chapters.
If you'd like a peek at what I have so far, The Sparkle Chronicles is under construction at dustysage.org.
I've just read chapter one, and I must say, your story is much better than most of the other "Portal to Equestria" fics out there. I enjoyed your characterization of Twilight, and the depth of etymology with Derpy. I'm excited to move on.

I warn you, it's going to turn into a romance. Signs of this appear in chapter 2.

Don't worry, romance is good. Human on pony romance might be a bit more . . . interesting, though.
Chapter Two, done. The contrast between Earth and Equestria is so deliciously complex, and I love your attempts at explanation. I can't imagine trying to explain something like genetically modified produce to, say, Fluttershy. This is a wonderful story, keep it up!

Now about halfway through the third chapter, right at 8000 words.
