As you can already know all around the world people are disapearing from cons, so don't pretend to be surprised when I'll tell you that the same shit happened to me. But what you can, or not know is that, that right now I'm in Equestria.
Very nice beginning. But ... ... why do "you" always want to bring human Geralt to Equestria?
I have seen few people writing this kind of fanfictions and 90% of the time those stories were rather... less popular (not to mention badly written). You have to be already a fan of Witcher too appreciate ( and understand ) the fact who he is, and what he does. Sorry but saying that Witcher is just a monster slayer is like saying that space shuttle is just an aircraft.
There is so much potential of combining "Witcher" and MLP lore into single world (like Falout did) rather than magically teleport the guy and from the start place him on the quest of finding his way back "home". AND just as a side note there are "talking unicorns" (and they are bad-ass) in Witcher already so a view of a unicorn/pony town would not make a big deal of "shock" to our favorite hero any way.
If you really want to write about Witcher consider the fact that MLP world setting is perfect for organization like witchers to exist in first place.
Witchers hunt monsters, dispel magic and basically save population, for money. The "golden age" of Witchers is during the period of fragmentation of population into small communities and lack of stable government that would bring organized protection over the land. Now that the authorities hold much more influence and have more means to protect tax paying citizens from dangers, role of witchers has diminished. They are almost extinct although they are immortal mutants that does not age (if they do the process is nightmarishly slow). Unfortunately there are no new Witchers because they have been made not born. They are artificial relics of times long gone when population was in need of protectors that would stand against the onslaught of dangerous creatures and chaotic magic that ravaged the world. Few of them are still alive but even those few still roam the land in search of work.
This is short description of Witcher profession. And it can be easy applied it to MLP.
In Equestria you have unverified period of time between finding Equestria till defeat of Discord and then the show glimpses only on few major events like defeat of Sombra and Rise of Nightmare Moon. This shit inspired thousands of Fanfic's. Those that have been created with some skill and grasp on "written" language became quite successful.
And thats what I'm wishing you m8. I would Love to read a good MLP/Witcher crossover I really do. Dont fuck this up.

It was a normal day for me, birds were chirping, humans were shouting motherfucers, car were riding like crazy and I were on a fantasy convention dressed up as my favorite character Geralt from Rivia.
It was a normal day for me: Birds chirping, people shouting and driving like crazy motherfuckers. I was attending a fatnasy convention, dressed up as my favourite character 'Geralt of Rivia.'

Yes you are quite right about this, so to answer you I must admit that I am great fan of The Wither series, but it never was about witchers for me. For me what in this stories, movies and games mattered the most is how Geralt fight against the whole world during his journeys. He had to fight against monsters that rom in the shadows, against racism when between people, (many times he had to smear his fingers in politics while doing so) and at last he had to fight against his own fate, so many times almost losing that he even not realize that he wins (after all he still lives.) And finally he is the only witcher that still has conscience something that any other witcher lost after mutation this plus many other things considered make him so exceptional that I want to make story about him because he isn't witcher, he is The Witcher.

About that there is the fact that as you said there already are stories that you are talking about and I want to have even little originality, that's one of the reasons that I'm making an displaced story with him.

I w końcu. Tak chętnie przyjmę każdy rodzaj pomocy zwłaszcza od kolegi fana Sagi o Wiedźminie więc jeli będziesz miał jakies uwagi to wylij mi PM i bedziemy mogli działać.
I disagree that a 'human' witcher is a bad thing, but 5580689 made a few good points.
Mainly right now, this story is near incomprehensible to anybody that is just a MLP fan.
Why does a witcher carry two blades? Why the chains? What does a witcher use them for? How is this dude still a monster hunter after fifty-six years? Wouldn't he be too old?
And that's just off the top of my head.
Now I am a witcher fan (if mostly the games) so I actually know the answers to the above, but the average person on this site probably don't.
Then again, this is the first chapter, so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, even if I think you should have explained better from the get-go. There is a really fine line between sowing intrigue and creating confusion, and you don't want the later to happen.
My biggest gripe is this, though: Why would a monster hunter be notorious enough to warrant petrification, the highest punishment Equestrian government seems to be willing to deliver on law-breakers?
Hell, the real Garrath have been captured and bound just fine before. The framing device for the first act or so of the second game even uses him being interrogated as it's central theme.
Magic mutant with quite a few nasty tricks aside, a magically warded cell seems like it should have worked just fine given the setting.
Still, I'm curious where this is going. Think I'll be following this, even if I'm withholding a vote for now.
One more thing I can't stress enough, though:
Either get an editor, or a better spell-checker!
Right now you have a lot of frankly rather easily fixed errors, and you will be slammed with down-votes for them if they aren't fixed. I know it's tedious as all hell, but as much as running your text through your word-processor of choice and your browser's inbuilt checker on upload does a lot of difference in final quality.
5583177 You have very found points dear sir and you are right I plan to explain all this facts in later chapters, but for now I can only propose to a have a little patience 'cause there will be time for every secret to be explained due time.
And if it comes to editor then unfortunately my last one had ditched me and for now I am alone, so if there is someone with knowledge of the language and is willing to edit for me I accept applications on PM.
Nice chapter. Looks like nan interesting story.
Very nice beginning.

That's just the first sentence.
5580689 We should also state that thou does not forget the one named Tirek or other such unnamed figures of that young age.

Don't rush too much, take your time and make sure you give a product you're proud of.

You made a story about Geralt of Rivia, the greatest witcher ever. That alone deserves a favorite.
