After a dark force strikes, Jackson finds himself thrown into a strange world where he struggles to protect his little sister.

A somewhat more realistic take on the Human in Equestria story concept... For a given value of "realistic".

Proceed. You have my curiosity and interest cautiously invested in your tale.

Not bad. Chapters could use a little more meat but not bad. I thumbs up.

"My faithful student, Princess Twilight Sparkle

She's not her faithful student

I give a thump up and a fav. Hope to see more in the near (VERY near) future :twilightsmile:

My eyes locked onto my clock.

'One forty five AM'.

My thoughts:

"So long as you don't know you're dreaming you're safe"

Kudos to whoever gets that reference!

Deep sleep reference?

You have my attention for the moment for a believable character, but you are treading a fine line with the whole 'already knows about them' angle as it is one huge turn off for me. The other that kills many stories is that there is no language barrier involved. If they all turn out to speak the same language I'll leave the story alone and not look back, but for now I'll wait and see. Hoping for good reading material here.

You were close on the first part, but I was going to use writing as the language barrier, as it's often unreadable in the show, yet perfectly understandable by the characters. Hope it's not too much of a turn off! ^_^

OK, my interest is peaked at this point.
And we would like to see more.
And you should know that we particularly dont like that whole 'language barrier' thing. It kinda makes it awkward/
And we don't like awkward things!!!! :pinkiehappy:
Very much true.

5301265 That's 'piqued' you mean. Anyway, I'm allowed to have my own opinions and preferences. I like the writing and I like the way it's written. I was not trying to be rude but honest so please do not think I am bashing the story or the author. I do tend to stick to my preferences though and I have a lot of trouble comprehending ANY two cultures magically speaking the same language if there has never been any prior contact. Now if there was a good, logical explanation as to why it is the case, I would be more inclined to read on. For example, if Luna's use of Ye Olde English was because of some ancient contact with the wizard Merlin, that would be enough for me.

5301492 Who said you're bashing it?
Yes, we are not those simple-minded readers.
Yep
YEAH!!

5301813 That is a relief to hear. I dislike such sorts. I'm going to go ahead and fav this story so I can see updates, but I'll reserve the like till later. :coolphoto:

5301031 Yes!

You read that and EVERYTHING goes to shit! :D

5300455 DeepER sleep, close, but not quite!

"Let's go somewhere more comfortable," she said, pushing me toward the door, "Then we can get to the questions!".

Oh dear.:rainbowderp:

this is kinda a nit-pick but he kinda forgot about his sister. i know how a lot just happened and hes most likely in shock but would someone just forget something like there sister was missing? i have no idea but a thumbs up and tracking for you so far

Thanks! I have a plan for that!

5333767 works for me. looking foreward to it

"It's alright Jack. I can absolutely promise you, she is in good hooves".

"Good hooves"? If she means she's in a lab or in a cage going to be studied on then I can see where this is going.

Pinkie Pie has three sisters, and your French is abominable.

Emily is obvious in Canterlot with the princesses. That's what in that letter Twilight got. That's also how Twilight knew Emily's name. The big bad probably has send the 2 humans to the 2 biggest threats (for him) to distract them. While the princesses and elements are busy with the humans the big bad can do big bads.

Oh does sunbut have his sister? Who knows?
Really though anyone else think somepony else has her?

5347360

O.o ... Wow. Just, Wow.

I know my tropes. And that doesn't mean the story is bad. Cause the way to it and how it's written is just as important.

5348614 I know right! Ive seen other comments of his! He's like a fucking fortune teller!

ohhhh snap shizzle, shiz just got serious doge

So, that guy he fought with was a bully?
If yes, there's no shame in what he did and he has a right to defend himself/attack the bully.
A bully won't listen to your words, the only think that gets through their skull is force.

Twilight is FAR too bipolar in this.

Who the fuck let Purple showcase his memories for everyone?! This is such a disgusting invasion of privacy, I can't stand it.

Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd... We're back. *Gulps*

Fixed that too!
:)

Question...

Why is there a Haunter on the cover?

6697745

It was the best related pic I could find. I don't know any artists. :(

6697920 I know a really good one. Want me to recommend you to her?

6698114

Are you serious?! Yes please! That would be amazing!

6698222

Thank you so much! :)

6698337 Not a problem. She's always pretty busy, but, she's been gone for two days, so she should be back on soon. I sent her a message saying you were headed your way.

Oh, and if her art style doesn't suit you, or her prices are too high, there's a group for writers looking for coverart. Search for it long enough, and you'll find it.

6698502

Got it. Thanks again!
