Is anyone still left? · 11:10pm Aug 19th, 2015
After some lurking, I joined FIMFiction in March 2012. My first story here was a HiE story with a few twists, but otherwise not earth-shattering. It deliberately started like a "typical" HiE story before the first twist, but I published the first three chapters at once, to highlight some of the other differences.
I'm tagging this story for two reasons. One is that I wonder if any of the relatively small number of readers who favorited the story are still around, three-plus years later. The second is that, after sitting in my collection of partially-written stories for a couple of years, I decided to publish a sequel to it. It's an open-ended multichapter story, and will include our poor protagonist having to be the sane one in a group of multiple visitors.
I enjoy HiE stories. They're a guilty pleasure. It doesn't matter what kind. Human becomes pony, human man becomes mare, human hooks up with a pony, human gets a pony harem. I just like to see a comparison of the cultures in these two alternate realities.
Aside: That story was numbered 20458. This one is numbered 284851. That's quite a collection of horse words on this site!
I hadn't heard of the original story until you published the sequel, so I've downloaded it to read first. I also have a soft spot for HiE stories, especially if they involve ponification. :)
Before I can read the sequel I'll have to reread the first, as I've forgotten about it.
I'm still here but cannot remember the first story to well will have to reread before i even think of reading sequel...
I'm afraid I never read the earlier story. It is now on my Read Later list, for what it's worth.

hawthornbunny, yes, there's ponification. That's actually one of the things that I didn't pick up before writing, that some people didn't like it. But it was more appropriate for my story anyway.
And looking back at the original, which was written during the second season, it's amazing how much has changed, in particular with the use of one character. It's enough that, even though the sequel is set during Season 3, I still have to comment on that.
I'm still around, and still interested.
I didn't have the original on my RIL, oddly enough, so I changed that. :B
Haven't yet, but will read Crossing Over soon.
I followed you for other stories, not really into HiE unless it's a crossover. Clean Slate and Applejack's Bar are two that I see on your list that I really enjoyed.
I don't remember the story but apparently I have read the whole thing, liked it and tracked it...
Gunna need to reread.
The only problem I have with Crossing Over is that neither the story name, pic, nor description do much to differentiate it, even after I've read it three times. But hey, sequel. I dig.
3333252 That's fine. I do have one human crossover idea (pony on earth) that I may someday write, one that doesn't appear to have been done before.
Did you read Scootaloo's Family?
3333315 A big problem with stories primarily focused on original characters. They're best with original art. And I have zero artistic ability. So I look for a screen shot, but it's not ideal.
I'm still around. I'll have to reread it :)
still here.

I'll give it a read tomorrow.
...and wow, what a ride!
