Trixie and Twilight are best ponies! (Diamond Tiara is best filly :D )
Two Trixies. One tires of her shows being nothing more than smoke and mirrors and wishes for real magic. The other just wants to be appreciated and accepted.
Each Trixie has what the other desires, so when they get the chance to trade places with each other, they of course take the chance. Will they truly be happy with their new lives, or will their exchange take a sudden bitter turn?

*Takes a peak at this fellow's story lists.*
Somepony really enjoys the show's minor pony villains.
Sequel?
Nice
It's been a while since I came across a TRIXIE fic that I actually like.
I like the sound of Element of Determination. It fits in with the other Elements and it surprises me that Trixie didn't give herself some OP-Element (like the Element of Greatness!). And it also fits with Trixie's personality in this fic. If there will be a sequel it would be funny if it would be mentioned again...
Damn it, the feels!
The grass is always greener.
Why must you be so excellent?! I will never get any writing done at this rate. Off to read part two.
This idea has been done to death, but I still like the quality of your writing and the way you pulled it off. really fantastic.
ok you got me interested but are you sure you can handle the great and powerful Trixie?
Loved it! i really liked the contrast between human and pony Trixie. Human Trixie is like most high school students, naive and positive. Pony Trixie is an adult how has been beaten up by the world.
And not a peanut butter cracker joke to be found.
All right, so far so good. Seeing human and pony versions of themselves is not something I've seen yet so that's kind of a unique turn for me.
I'm favouriting!
This story is so MLP
By which i mean this could pass off as a real episode! 
Congrats to you because I like this so much, I shall thumbs up!

Truth be told, Trixie is a largely unexplored character.
....
I'm gonna read it just for Adorable Human Trixie.
1) Oh come on. Twilight's a real alicorn. Get over it.
2)THEY ALL HAVE PETS THAT EAT MEAT. They have FRIENDS that eat meat. COME ON.
Personally, I'd like to see more in this verse. SEQUEL NAO!
Eating chickens I can understand, but cows are people. Celestia isn't paying for cows to be murdered to feed Spike, is she?
Do cows sell their remains to griffins or something?
Celestia wasn’t sure what a ‘video game’ was, but she nodded nonetheless.
Pretty sure there were some colts playing video games during the Hearts and Hooves Day episode during Sweetie Belle's song.
Sunset Shimmer chuckled and held a finger to Trixie’s forehead, pushing her back with a gently nudge. “Right, you’re new here. So let me just tell you the ground rules: I am in charge here. I am the boss of this entire school. Whatever I say goes. I tell you to do something, you do it, and I decide on something, you agree. Understand now?”
And apparently Sunset Shimmer learned NOTHING from her previous experience with Twilight...
Another Trixie masterpiece!
Well... Damn. Can I say that was interesting and escalated quickly? LOL.
I will admit, something about this fic seemed like it would just be a fun story that didn't feel like so much effort was put into fleshing it out, but you proved me wrong. Many aspects of it just felt...real. It's tough to explain, but very well-executed. The only flaw was that I think you could have spent more time showing more of the different lives each Trixie led. Draw it out more, but that may just be me (actually, I think it is). Oh, and I loved the 'human' Trixie's persona overall. To me, she was so much more likeable than what we've seen all along.
Cheers!
I gave up around the 10000 word mark. Spending a third of the story on exposition is definitely not worth it on something this short. Some of the prose was also a bit dull, especially the repetitive sentence structure.
This story was nice to read, but it just ended so quickly. I wanted to read more of it.
And I stood up and cheered when Discord showed up, that's for sure.
Anyone else believes that Discord will be given April the 1st as the day when HE controls the sun and the moon? Huh?

Yes. This story needed a Peanut Butter Cracker reference! A Trixie story without Peanut Butter Crackers is a Derpy story without Muffins.
Faved because Trixie.
3355782
Needed, or still needs? I've yet to jump in and read... 'bout to. While we're on that note, I had no idea Trixie was big on Peanut Butter Crackers. ...
I'm kinda hoping Sunset gets her jaw broken.
And I'm sorry, but the whole meat thing is so overdone and just plain WRONG! Fluttershy feeds dead fish to ferrets and live, wriggling worms to baby birds!
3354409 "Get over it?" What do you mean by that, RC? I thought the story made it pretty clear that the interpretation in this case is that Twilight's a real alicorn, just due to ascending into it rather than being born. If it's the mortality thing, didn't the writers of the show say that Twilight wouldn't outlive her friends?
As for the meat thing, even if they CAN, as evidenced by Trixie eating a steak, it's apparent that they have a strong cultural bias against the idea of ponies killing and eating other animals. I thought your bugaboo on this issue was when writers said that ponies were BIOLOGICALLY incapable of eating meat, but that isn't the case here, so what's the problem?
3354640 You try keeping track of a thousand years worth of trends and technomagical advances.
Dislike because not enough peanut butter crackers!
(P.S. Not really I actually loved it, but don't tell anyone
)

I'm tellin' everyone
I gotta say I liked this, but I felt there could have been a little more done with the plot point about Pony-Trixie's parents being dead. I would have loved to have seen her just spending time with her counterpart's family, metaphorically coming down off her high horse by adjusting to human life.
I don't think the amulet needed to be in this story. It added some conflict and worry for sure but it felt forced. Also, I guess you were going for making Sunset shimmer be the kind of girl who tries to put up a strong front, but seeing her act like a brat left me put off.
Overall, I'd give this 7/10. Great idea, but I think it had potential to be more.
Not too bad. Some bits, though, like the meat thing, didn't sit right with me. But overall a good read.
3356299 The writers of the show also think "every little girl wants to be a princess." A staff of writers changes members continually; they have little more say in canon than you do, and their casual tweets mean less than that. It was an obvious sop thrown to people of limited imagination and intellect who couldn't cope with the idea that and immortal might outlive their family and friends-- despite the fact that everyone outlives someone they love, sooner or later.
...Besides which, there are at least TWO ways to interpret that statement.
As to them having a cultural bias against it--- horses not only CAN eat meat, but DO on occasion (as do many herbivores.) They're cool with eggs, they get milk regularly, Pinkie Pie enters hotdog eating contests, there was a ham sandwich on the buffet table for "a bird in the hoof" and Rainbow Dash was "trussed up like a turkey" on the Running of the Leaves. It's probably RARE, but it should not be sending them into spasms of atavistic horror.
The thing about cows, I'll spot ya that one. Really gotta reconsider that one, author. Though they might have some sort of "Dinotopia" style arrangement, there are still WAY more meat animals than that. Dammit, cartoonists, think before you make everything able to talk.
Having Spike NEED to eat meat, and claiming that gems are "junk food..." sort of flies right in the face of how it's portrayed in the show. Twilight's a little too fussy to be letting her hatchling stuff his face constantly on rock candy (pun intended) and a little too well-educated to not know that he'd need animal protein to be healthy. (Yeah, pinkie practically lives on junk food, but she's a lovable freak.)
And really--- Trixie can't find ANY kind of vegetable she likes? I hated veggies as a kid, but I eventually found ways to prepare and serve vegetables that tasted good to me. (It helps if they're not boiled to mush, for starters.)
And BTW, all you writers--- STOP USING HAY. Yes, ponies eat hay. But it's not the ONLY thing they eat. Hay Fries, fine. Hay smoothies? Hay BACON? Google it, dammit. Oats. Alfalfa. Clover. SOMETHING other than HAY for once. An Oatburger, now THAT would work. And I really wish they'd at least check which flowers were toxic before writing them in as salad ingredients....
This is the best thing ever in the history of best things ever.
Sunset though... while it would be unrealistic for her to just make a total 180 after what happened in EQG, it still seems like she would have at least toned it down a bit. And I can't imagine even Snips and Snails putting up with her anymore.
Poor Trixie....
Minuette, Berry, I am disappoint.
Why can't I take my eyes off that cover art...?

>That moment when you have a story called Trixing Switch
This was weird to see pop up in my feed section
Pretty good. A few things, though:
...
Okay, credit where it's due, you didn't say her name was 'Princess Celestia'. However, a desmesne derives its title from that of its ruler. Celestia is a Princess, therefore either she rules a Principality, or her father, the King, is hidden away somewhere, and is technically in charge (Strictly speaking, their mother, the Queen, could be alive instead/as well)
... Oh dear. I can see this backfiring in so many ways, the least of which being that she has PE (I hear that can be rather uncomfortable).
Uhm - yeah. I do hope someone tells her before she does something really embarrassing.
No, it's really not. Ignoring the dubious quality and origin of the meat, a 'hamburger' is made from beef. Apparently , in America, gammon is called ham, so I suppose a gammon steak in a bun could be called a ham burger over there, but for the stereotypical burger, it's typically beef. It's called a 'hamburger' because it was apparently invented in Hamburg.
*Inhales deeply*
Ah. Okay, fine you're aware Ponies can eat meat. I'm sure Twilight knows they are able to as well, but left that out for cultural reasons.
I have a sudden urge to start professing my love of Pony in French. It sounds really funny when you say it in a language where they don't differentiate between the animal and its meat.
(Yes, I realise Twilight is hardly likely to have read up on French cuisine. But either she's wrong, or she's learned how to tell convincing white lies, and I don't know which is more beleivable).
Okay, you want 'circled' there. 'Circling' is a present tense verb, which, when applied to individuals, at least, implies the sort of action usually reserved to sharks. And whilst it was most certainly an _interesting_ image that leapt to mind , I highly doubt it was the one you wanted.
Hum.
Not bad, I suppose. But it felt incredibly rushed. I feel fairly certain there was another three, maybe four chapters of material (at least) in here that you just skimmed over.
Not bad, I felt it was a bit rushed, but still a story that is very enjoyable.
Wasn't bad, I really liked the 1st Chapter. But I was hoping for a less magic based ending

HA!
Oh, you meant in the show...
This would probably be the best posible resolution of Trixie's character arc. Not only is it dynamic, well written, and surprisingly coheasive, it is not padded for length like sooooooo many other HiE/PoE stories, incorporates major plot elements from the major motion picture, and even manages to surprise. The climax with Twilight in Trixie's mind took a little too long however, in my opinion. Also, Sunset Shimmer's bitchiness didn't seem consistant with her reformation. Plus, using Derpy, of all the background ponies, as your plot device felt a little trite. And the way Celestia seems to know what's going on in the Celestial Plane the first time even though she specifically says that she doesn't... But still, this story is so amazing that I wish you hadn't written it!
...
So that it could actually be an episode of the show, I meant. It was a compliment, honest!
OMG!!!
RIGHT NOW I'M THE 1,337:th USER READING THIS FIC!!

Regarding the hamburger thing, I don't eat burgers myself so I was not aware of that. I've just heard the terms 'hamburger' and 'beefburger' before and assumed they were made from two different meats (ham and beef respecitvely).
