No GDocs release?

It's up now!
...but I can't link you to it

Well, since this is the comments of an unpublished, mature rated fic, I think I can link to it? It's just to the table of contents of the Google Doc.

Please bookmark that if you don't have it, I won't link it to again.

Best. Chapter. EVER! (Not just this story, but all of FiMFiction)

3545044
Thanks!

Sorry for not being slightly more clear about my concern over the chapter not having yet been released instead of the link to the folder itself. Good to know that the link was changed to your nick from the title either way!

The way that the melding of stories was handled in this chapter was excellently handled. Very little repetition involved and the "noise" factor has gone up appropriately as well!

Thinking I'm starting to see why and where Sweetie's going to use her memory spell for the whole...

Great new chapter.

Loved the python reference, definitely something Pinkie would say.

Shining laughs. “I don’t think you comprehend just how little we actually know about magic. Asking us to make a portal would be like going to a three year old kid who just threw a paper airplane, and asking him to pilot a F-16 through a hurricane. Twilight and I have nothing to go on in terms of making portals, we literally wouldn’t know where to start. And if we screwed up even the slightest, all the portal would probably accomplish is kill anyone that went inside.”

I don't think anyone could have put it better.

The arrivals of a couple of the series baddies definitely make things intriguing, particularly how laidback Chris is.

Fav'ing this actually worked, it showed up for me on my Feeds page.

Miniscule Horns, best new pony of the week.

Wow are those ponies' background stories in human world were based by side fic of this story?

btw Discord is sure isn't picky to banish any pony in Equestria and I would love to see more Sombra and Chrysallis!

I’ve love to ask her some questions.

I'd :P

Okay, it's obvious that the human governments have taken notice of the ponies, so why haven't government officials shown up to the farm yet? It really wouldn't be that difficult for them, considering how many ponies trajectories to the farm could be traced, then triangulated against the trajectories of other ponies going to the farm, then find where the farm is.

Fantastic. Now to once again post my favorite clip for when fics start crossing over. (just replace "not good" with "very good".

Also, Little Horn's constantly advertising herself like she was on some sort of story forum or something. Ha ha, meta humor.

How come more and more people are starting to know about Belarus? I mean even Marvel...
Also it's Vitebsk or Vitsebsk, not Viysyebsk

I'm becoming very curious about those side-fics. I've only read the CMC's and one with Lyra and Bon Bon. Good thing my friend linked me to a group that had a collection of them, assuming I can find it again. Cryssi sounds interesting. Or those two that said they were trapped in a government-something.

3545044
Rules, you ignore them.

Not that i'm going to tell anyone...

UNLESS YOU DON'T PAY ME!!!!!

*Blackmail*

I coulda swore Sombra was exploded but apparently his hern wasn't eliminated so he came back. Not surprising he grew up the way he did as a human (I'm thinking mob or not very legal organization).

As for Queen Chrysalis, I actually feel bad for her. Not only do you look like a monster, even the ponies hate you. Apparently she's managed to harvest some love or doesn't need it as badly as some fics would indicate here on Earth. There's also no mention if she's figured out how to transform however. If they're stuck on Earth, she's got the best magic to blend back into society with.

Good grief, is there anypony Discord didn't zap???

And... how long is 30 moons? I recall that was the time the portal was closed. They never did mention how long it was open however. It's at least 3 days, if I recall the events in Equestria Girls correctly from the night the crown was stolen to the point Twilight and Spike zapped back home. Then again, maybe it's open for 3 full days after the first use, then it takes 30 moons to recharge.

[edit] Google to the rescue! The time it takes the moon to be in the same position is 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes.

Or, you know, they could use Google's image recognition to find the statue. Or ask the internet for help combing Gmaps street view. It's not like the internet has anything better to do.

A possibility of progress?

The reunion of Equestria itself is nigh. What then, is this fate?
Awaiting further releases.

Pinkies instruction comprehension seemed familiar...

3545189
Undersized Antler is indeed temporary Best Pony.

And I can't help but get the feeling that Scoots is trolling Dash by now.

Still waiting for Gilda.

3545427 In old terms, a moon is what we now call a month. One 28-day lunar cycle. From full to full.

30 moons is 30 months, or roughly two and a half years minus a couple weeks.

I agree with some of the people here; bringing in Sombra & Chrysalis was a nice idea. Makes it a little more interesting.

Also... That's a loooot of ponies Let's hope they can find a way back to equestria before winter kills them all.

im readying "its the final countdown" for this epic space travel
and my "take it back" for the final confrontation

3545534

3 day window on a 2.5yr cycle? Shimmer was either impossibly lucky to bag the crown the very night Twilight was in the castle... or my secondary theory on the gateway is correct; that is it can be used any time but only stays open for +3 days (possibly a week), then has to recharge. This would give Sunset Shimmer time to somehow get Twilight to spend the night at the castle so she can steal the crown from Twilight. Makes me curious if anyone else wondered about this curiously unlikely alignment of events to kick off the movie.

I hope the portal is a misfire I mean I wanna see them get back but at the same time I wanna see discord try an fight the ponies here on earth because the military would get involved and fight side bye side with the ponies then the good relationships start and ten they work side bye side to try and find their way back to equstria does anyone else agree with me...?

Totally worth waiting for that chapter and I'd hate to be in the main characters shoes right now.

I sigh, truth is, I’ve been zoning out of most of it. I’ve met literally over a hundred ponies over the past few day, and they all feel like telling me their life story for some reason. I stopped paying attention about 40 ponies ago.

Lol sidefics lol.

I'm really getting annoyed with everyone who wants things back to the way they were. I'm also really unsure about the ethics involved in this scenario. You're given amnesia and live a life for twenty-five years, is being forced to remove the amnesia unethical? I mean, Sweetie Belle seemed to hold her human memories plenty fine, Rainbow Dash's obsession with not having a brain big enough sounds inane. She's not a different person. Thinking about Rainbow Dash as separate from her?

I don't know.

Is linking a URL redirect against the rules? I mean, you're linking to a site... which is in turn linking you somewhere else. You're not directly linking NSFW...

Totally worth the wait. FYI, your build up too Sombra actually gave me shivers, even when I knew it was coming. Also, really liked Chirs's cameo. Everything about this was so well done. This really was a great chapter, and I real treat to all the writers and contributors of the universe. If Equestria Girls is real, I wonder if Sunset Shimmer will be able lead everypony a hand. She'd be the only human with complete knowledge of Equestria, not to mention a powerful ally.

Wait... What if when the ponies cross the portal, they turn human again.... ? That wouldn't be good.

3545427 You can learn about Sombra and Chrysalis's human lives here. I wrote the Sombra one so any praise I give it would be bias. However, I highly recommend the Chrysalis story.

FUCK THE POLICE!

“You don’t say,” I mumble as I turn back to the notes in front of me.

SASSY!

I rub my forehead with a hoof. “No, this isn’t any new magic. I’m just doing math.”

WHICH IS MAGIC ENOUGH FOR ME! HUMAN BITCH JUST DON'T GET IT!

“Neigh?” Rarity whinnies unconvincingly.

Emmi—OSCAR, get this little, four-legged actress an award!

Cloudkicker and Blossomforth look around in awe as we make our way to the farmhouse for food. The latter gives me a smile. “Thanks so much for letting us stay here, Rainbow Dash!”

Oooooh no, OOOH NO, OH NO! With Cloudkicker around the amount of sex will be TOO HIGH!

I look past Applejack and see Berry punch and

-->"Punch" should be capitalized.

chatting as they walk past Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth.

-->Ummm, pick a spelling and stick with it. Like gumpo to an iron pan.

Twilight takes another sip from her mug. “We got more arrivals last night you know.”

Thank goodness for coffee, Tess would not give a rat's ass about anything without it.

“Well, at 7am Shining told me Lyra, Braeburn, Trixie, Diamond Tiara, Lotus, Caramel, Daisy, and Colgate were all outside.”

Dammit! NOT TRIXIE!
Colgate's cool though, I like Colgate.

Oh god, a Mac/Dash/Dust sandwich in bed, that sounds—

I support this. It has my vote... If that counts for anything.

Chrysalis rolls her eyes at Bonbon’s screams. “Urgh, see what I have to put up with?”

I would not treat Chrysalis like a monster, she is pretty hot.
th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/304/a/f/queen_chrysalis_by_nemesis360-d6sgn9w.png

I just want somewhere to rest and not have to worry about being chased by... things.

Tentacles?

SO IF YOU COULD STOP GLARING AT ME LIKE I'LL SNAG RARITY THE MOMENT YOU LOOK AWAY, THAT'D BE APPRECIATED.

-->Did you pull Chrysalis from a story that was written? Cause if so I might take a look at it.
(Ok, this isn't a correction, I just wanted to ask and have it more likely you would see it.)

The day flew by, and every hour there were ponies arriving by wing, hoof, and automobile.

How many human allies they have now? Also odd that you would use the older word for car.

nightfall I had given tours to ponies from over thirty states and three countries.

How the hell could they get to Iowa, it's in the middle of fucking nowhere? They get stuffed into a luggage compartment on a plane? That would be one weird X-Ray.

Yeah, well, we’ll just have to avenge them all when we find a way back.

hdwallpapers.in/walls/the_avengers-wide.jpg
Yeah, not gonna even write any words for thi—DAMMIT!

I’m already acting far more like Dash than like my human personality.

Existential crisis again, eh Dashie?

Right, so until you come and get Shining, I’m not to leave the room.

You know, I LOVE your references. You do know this right?

“Make sure the prince doesn't leave this room until you come and get him.”

Now if only dumb guards could get it that easily.

I swallow the lump in my throat. Dear sweet Celestia, what are we getting ourselves into here?

Yeah, but you have Twilicorn and a super chill Chryssi. Just give that bug some love, bugs love love... That sounded better in my head.

I’ve met literally over a hundred ponies over the past few day

-->Play on words here?

I stopped paying attention about 40 ponies ago.

Is this like a meta joke here? Playing on all the off shoots you spawned to the point of pissing off some mods?

I glance over at Shining, tuning out the small filly. “So, Shining, busy day?”

I know those feels Dash, I know 'em.

Even without the danger of Sombra and Chysallis walking around

DUDE! Just chill about Chris, she seems hella cool! I'm Californian, I would know.

We might have too you know, this farm only has so much space.

-->I think that's the wrong kind of "too", "to", "two".

Little Foot stamps her hooves. “Well think of a way how to!”

pbs.twimg.com/media/BIOn1NQCAAAaPVz.jpg:large
I was going to use the Twilight one, but I love Luna...

“So no teleportation, but what about portals? Can’t you open a portal to Equestria?” Dwarf Horn asks.

NO! Twilight or Chryssi needs to be the one thinking with portals!

You just make a portal to god knows where, we toss in our banana peels in.

Ooooooor annoying little fillies...

The school they described probably just closed down in the past two decades!

Except the people in the show had retarded names like "Flash Sentry" and all the human Mane 6 would be grown up and probably have kids... Having them all meet up would be weird... I still think the Equestria Girls portal is retarded. Just so you know.

Woo-wee that is a big comment, luckily I marked all the corrections with a "-->". Also, if you do reply to this comment, will I see it or should I double post? Wait, why am I asking that, OF COURSE I will double post!

Awesome chapter! :D

...And then 'Princess Antares' shows up from 'TD The Alicorn Princess'. XD

3546766
Oh my gods that would be awesome. Yo, Twisted, can we get a bonus, non-canon chapter with 'Princess Antares' in it with all his/her memories? You Know, because TD was a human originally?

Also, Monty Python reference for the win!

Wow, re-read through the whole thing again in 3 days. So awesome!

Keep up the good work! Loving the direction the story is going. I'm interested to see if they will be able to find the portal or not. It would be rather interesting if it was somewhere in Iowa

For some reason this doesn't show up on my favorites list. It is fav'd and counts towards my total favs but just doesn't show up.

3547445
the author explained that at the top.
"Reminder, this version is 'unpublished' so the favorite update feature doesn't function!.
You can favorite this if you want the bookmark, but please leave a favorite on the original Five Score for update notifications."

3547683
I didn't see that anywhere
Thanks for the help

So EG is canon...

3545221
Yeah I figure they have to realize something is up. And since multiple nations have all individually gone on the news denying "colorful, talking ponies exist", well anyone with half a brain watching the news would realize that there must be something real about those rumors, seeing as how the same 'rumor' is sprouting up all over the globe.

In any case, in the Five Score Universe I'm trying to keep the government (and the general public) still somewhat in the dark over exactly what's going on. This is mainly to help differentiate Five Score from the Conversion Bureau, the latter of which heavily deals with what happens to Earth when humans try to share a planet with human-turned-ponies.

Five Score and TCB are already somewhat similar in other ways, so I'm trying to keep as many key differences between them as possible.

Thanks for the attempt
It is amazing how many times those first chapters has been proofread, and yet, how many errors there still are. At this point it would be easy to raze them to the ground and just rewrite them from scratch with a higher quality standard.

3546063
Hehe, some chapters are 'worse' than others. I think the first 11 or so are actually the most changed between the versions.

3546255

“I think they might be your little sisters.”
Scoots is Dash's sister now?

You silly sleepy head. Dash glances at AJ and Rarity, then says “I think they are your little sisters.”
Dash is talking to the other two mares, and is just referring to Sweetie and Applebloom.

Wait, four ponies? But there are only 3 CMC!

Earlier in that scene they mention of Babs is with them. Babs plus CMC equal four.

Geez. Seems like the whole of Equestria was sent to Earth.

OMG!!!! THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!!

Shining rolls his eyes. “Oh please, bug pony wishes she could have this much swagger and sheer good looks.”

did someone say..... swaga?

(your reaction)

ME WANT MOAR

3547761
np

I am sensing that SHIT IS ABOUT GO DOOOWWNNNN!!

AJ CAN('T) COUNT she said 15

There were 14

I'm such a dick for pointing out something TRIVIAL! AND DUMB!

Ahhhh, we finally have a plan!

I was wondering about the Equestria Girls timeframe the first time around, but it looks like that paid off after all.

The powers that be are going to have to address this pony issue before long, though... I bet the internet is blowing up.

Honestly, you need to start adding whose perspective we're looking from, because with all the shifts, it's not readily visible to tell who we're seeing stuff from. Just something to consider.
