Zecora is awesome, and this story too. Where did ya' get this idea (of the story) from?

364716 3 in the morning + a puzzle binge + ????? = profit

No that's not right... it equals idea! Yes, lets go with idea...

Very interesting.:raritystarry:

Clearly, you've never played the 90's PC game 'MYST'. It's a little confusing, and it's part of a series. In the first game you start out on a small island with a library, a rocket, a sunken pirate ship, a building that looks like a clocktower, a portion of a redwood forest, and half a gear sticking up out of a stone platform (These are just the more prominent things). On this island are several books, and several worlds to step into. Each world, including the island which is the Nexus (or place that is the center, as it were), contains part of a whole story. Once you know the story, you can get rid of the villains, and proceed to the next game.
I've only played the first, and only seen the fifth in a store. Unfortunately when they came out I was still a child and had not the mind for a complex story. Now that I am older, I can't find these games anywhere, save for the first, which was a gift from one of my grandfathers. :fluttercry:

an interesting thing, though, if you look up at the sky abov eth epirate ship, you see several things flying in the air in the distance. They look kinda like Dragons.

And now bookwroms create wormholes.

373879 Well yeah I started with Myst and I dove into all of the stuff on my shelf where the game sits. That means Riven, Exile, Revelations, End of Ages, Uru, and the three novels as well. I have WAAAAAAAAY too much 'what if...' that happens when I write.

Observation: Rarity would not call him Nicholas, due to the fact that it is most likely not a name that is known in Equestria, and not the one he was introduced as.

380319 Response: Introduced to CMC as Nicholas, asked for Nick. Rarity goes for sophisticated over common.

380358

However, he was introduced to her as Nick, and unless the CMC went out of their way to say that he was Nicholas (which I doubt, Sweetie Belle would have called him Nick without a second thought really) it doesn't make much sense.

380896 right, will fix then. I can only rationalize in my mind so much. Thanks

Sorry for being too much of a nit-picker, but it's what I do. Just trying to help out is all!

381207
In this case, would it not be 'Nick'-picker? :derpytongue2:

381207 It's alright, stuff happens right? Now, 381306 as for you... come up with a good pun.

Hmmm.....Okay!

Which of the (stereotypical) catholic schoolgirls were virgins?
Nun!

Who joined Nightmare Moon in rebellion against Celestia?
Lunatics!

I have to give you props for doing a Pony/Myst cross-over, just on principle. However, I'm not too fond of the particular approach you're using. It seems like just another Human in Equestria story to me, and those are a dime a dozen.
Don't let my opinion stop you though. I just thought I ought to weigh in.

Have fun.

383954 Thanks, don't worry though. I'm getting there. If I was writing this for myself I'd have gone far past where I am now, but that's cause I know where it would go. If I take my time I think I'll have a better story overall. Besides, by taking my time I can also share it. I have to explain a bit here and there without just saying "if you want to get some of it go to mystlore," I don't want to be a jerk like that.

Many wonders can be found in books, but sometimes, on rare occasion, when the right conditions are met...those wonders can find the reader as well...
-Me, hoping for one such event to occur.

Eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

There were a few spots were a semi-colon or a comma might have been used, but other than that there was little to nothing wrong with it. :twilightsmile:
and sleeping sounds like a good idea... :ajsleepy:

383993 Sleep is overrated... *snore*

384002
Ha, who needs sle ...*yawn*... ep!

Uh oh. :pinkiegasp:
Well...maybe Derpy broke the fourth wall and has it? Maybe? Hopefully?
Oh boy, Maybe the D'ni aren't all so dead.

Long live Luna. Luna the wise, Luna the lovely.

wow, that was fast. Nice going. It seems you've been infected with 'the Muse's surge' too.

388683 When I finished the previous chapter I had originally integrated the story into it. Near its completion I favored letting it be its own chapter.
