Sometimes you find your calling in life. Sometimes your calling in life finds you. And other times you get hit by lightning while drunkenly walking home from a bar, only to find that your life will never be the same afterwards.
Come in, sit down, have a drink if necessary (cause it might be), and read about the curious odyssey of Shaun Davis as he finds his place in a new world; full of magic, friendship, but sadly for Shaun, no booze.

The title made me want to think of AC/DC, but, eh.
I'll read this to see where it goes.
Great story i especially like the comedy.
more please
I enjoyed reading this, keep it up.

Actually, for most of the time writing this chapter I was listening to AC/DC. I hadn't thought of a name for it yet and well....when I heard "You've been...THUNDERSTRUCK," I knew what I wanted to name it.
455687
Ask and you shall receive. Perhaps by next weekend if I get my real papers done first.
455909
Thanks. So.....you don't want this to die in a fire then, right?
455990 No, it shouldn't die in a fire.
funny, very funny, good stuf
I APPRRRRRROVE THIS PIECE OF LITERATURE AND IT'S ODDLY COMPELLING SENSE OF HUMOR!!
Good Lord, it's been awhile since I read some well written self-insert HiE...
456016
Glad you liked it. And I've been Rainbow Dash approved even.
456090
I suppose you could say in a way this is self-insert. They are my thoughts and ideas after all. Though, Shaun is only a persona loosely based on myself. Well....perhaps not so loosely at times.
Just wondering are you from the Uk because it sounds like that kind of humour
456305
No, I'm actually born and raised in the state of Georgia.
>> RandomEncounter oh ok my bad
For a first fic, it is surprisingly well written! It has a nice flow and I can definitely see your sense of humor. Great job! Faving and tracking!
456405
No harm, no foul.

Thanks for the compliments. I really appreciate them.
Since there are more positives, or at least curious to see what happens, comments for this, I will be continuing it. (I think I already said that though.) But first I have research to do on making different types of alcohols from scratch.
This is the best possible thing ever!
>write a story
>story starts with how bad you are at beginning stories.
LOL
That made my laugh more than I should have.
I like your sense of humor, and it made this a really enjoyable read. Hope to see more from you soon!

Lots of love from a random guy!

It worked though, didn't it?
You'll probably see an update by this weekend. I just started chapter two a few hours ago (currently at 900 words), but I probably won't get to work on it again until Thursday. Don't worry though, my proofreader (who is freaking awesome and explains to me why I suck at the English language clearly and concisely) and I work fast. I started chapter one after an idea and a few shots of tequila on Friday night, and had it posted early Sunday morning. So I prom- ....er...hope for an update by Saturday or Sunday.
I guess the morale of the above paragraph is this: Tequila makes one type with vigor and clarity.
For some reason, my brain has decided that your narrator/main character is being voiced by the Nostalgia Critic in my head.
Love the direction you chose for this story, by the way. Not many people have been able to successfully pull off a truly belligerent protagonist/anti-hero that is still relatable/likable. It feels very... fresh. Anyway, there's a ton of potential here and I can't wait to see where you take it.
476743
I am humbled.
And we shall see how he turns out, won't we? I have ideas....oh yes....so many ideas.
476968
Now that I had a chance to think about it, the one thing that stood out to me was your complete lack of use of contractions.
It's not a big thing, or even necessarily a bad thing. In narration it's justifiable. In Twilight, Celestia, and an OC's dialogue, it's justifiable. I'm just a little scared that if Pinkie Pie or Applajack show up in the story, their dialogue will also be completely devoid of contractions, which would be very distracting.
You probably know this already... but there's nothing wrong with using contractions (I.e: you're, I'll, would've, etc). Especially when you're using a narration style that's so informal/conversational. Actually, it might even improve flow, considering the informality of the main character.
That's just opinionated nitpicking, though. I want to reiterate that I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
477584
I think it's mainly cause of all the lack of dialogue. Chapter two has no lack of them so far.
FIRST POST!
trololol
541176
Normally I'd say read the story first...
But then I can't say that. SO, you don't count, pre-readers are excluded from first posts.
541210
Psht I've read this five times over by now... at least.
Being serious though, this took him forever to write. All that silly schoolwork getting in the way. I had to bug him about writing when he didn't have work... while he bitched and moaned about his word count like you wouldn't believe.
And damn that social experiment... You crazy person.
well, lost my night's sleep, but totally worth it when i figured out that shaun would accompany twilight to ponyville, and, of course, get everypony to call her Sparky!
542211
That's number one on his to do list. Wait...is it?
Well, maybe just after surviving the insanity of the first day.
This chapter was kind of somber at times; Celestia can do that. Next chapter...well...
Nice Story!
Keep up the good work!
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH
Love this story so funny. Keep writing please.
542565
Thanks very much.
543414
I will try my best...though if you ask my pre-readers, they'd probably tell you it is initially just the opposite.
543549
Ah, this chapter was not nearly as fun as the things that have gone into Chapter Three so far.
541222
Meliron...just...gah...
Although yeah, that is probably all true.
543566
If so i look forward to it greatly
543599
I'm just lying. It's 3,000 words so far of watching Twilight boil some soup. I heard things like that are popular on this site.
543605
I can only hope you're joking , you're joking right. Oh God i hope he's joking. (Insert hysterical laughter + mental breakdown here.)
543642
I liked that story a lot so i will like this case closed
543614
It will be something like this:
null
...Don't worry Blanie. I got some strange ideas at times...but making a story or chapter about something like that isn't one of them.
543566
ahaha...
Don't take it harshly though, I'm just messing with you... Probably.
I like it! You, sir, get a gold star and a cookie. Keep up the good work.
544582
If I took you seriously I might be on medication by now.
558041
Gold star AND a cookie?! Hmm...wait...this seems like a trap. That cookie wouldn't happen to have coconut in it, would it?
558783
You aren't already?
The world is doomed!
Also, wtf Japan seriously. That, my good friend, is all your fault. Just saying.

558783 That does seem rather sketchy, doesn't it? Hmm, how about some bacon instead?thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/c399_tactical_canned_bacon.jpg
561301
That bacon is godly.
561325 Tactical Bacon: When standard bacon just isn't versatile enough for your breakfast needs.
561569
(Tactical) Bacon, FUCK YEAH!
ahahaha, I googled that, and the video on it was hilarious. I have to thank you for posting this.
561580
I'm all for spreading the epicness of bacon. Lets' face it, not much can hold a candle to bacon.
Oh, no problem.
561625
I think Shaun will agree with you on that. Bwahahaha
561301
I'm sure Shaun would love to have some further along in the story.
561953
Ha! If you can manage to work it into the story, I'd love too see it. :
562114
Chapter five should interest you then.
562116
Oh, really? Well consider my curiosity piqued. As though I weren't already eager for more of Shaun's torment at the hooves of the Purple Inquisitor.
562129
Torment? Shaun is being tormented? I'm sure he's just overreacting. Surely things cannot be as bad as they COULD be, right? I mean he could...
Oh wait, can't tell you what's in store for chapter three yet.
