6008642 (nods head) This has an interesting start. Shall we see where this goes?

Wow. I only hope they won't appear somewhere in 'murica, that has been done way too often.

A steampunk PoE story. Well this should be fun.:pinkiesmile:

btw I found a little error here:

Just as he finished of saying that, Jack groaned in pain, Luna had hit him with a stone."

Yeah! London! Let's see how this will play out! :pinkiesmile:
Well, if there wouldn't be a way back, this would definitely need the 'sad' tag, but you avoided it in a nice way... more or less :rainbowlaugh:

This interest me I will se what will come next

“Do you think that there could be a relation between our worlds?

Missing a ” there.

Luna asked a couple of sandwiches and Jack was ready to oblige.

Talking sandwiches! :pinkiegasp:

"I'm curious to know what do you here on your planet; this place looks pretty expensive, like a luxury apartment in Manehattan."

Better: "I'm curious to know what you do here in your world; this place looks pretty expensive, like a luxury apartment in Manehattan."

"Well, indeed it is, but my job allows me to pay for it.”

1. " and ” for the same sentence. Watch out for that. It happens more often than you'd think.
2. He doesn't stumble over the name "Manehattan". He isn't curious or concentrated on what she says, is he?

He said with a smile on his face. Luna stood perplexed by his words; did he really said that he was glad of having her in his life? Did he really mean it? She decided to keep those questions for her and just returned the smile.

I would feel uncomfortable now if I were Luna.

“I love this book, this Sherlock Holmes sure is special man, the mystery, the intrigue, I can’t wait to see what will happen next.”

???

however, Luna stop him.

You would use the past here, wouldn't you?

"Listen, you don’t have to thank me, is the least I can do, you are my friend, and friends help each other, even in their darkest days.”

1. If you keep up messing " and ” up, I'll scream "EXTERMINATE!" the next time I find such an error...
2. "it is the least I can do" would be correct... wouldn't it?

“I know that this place seems big [...]. For now, you will have to stay here."

EXTERMINATE!
I told you...


I apologise for this comment, I am not even a native speaker but write such crappy comments about language and grammar and stuff...

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. 6070185 He is right. Watch out for clichés.

6070185 Hey, this kind of comments is what I need, that will help me to get better on my wrinting skills, I thank you for that. I can't promise that this story will free out of cliches, but I'll try to keep them at bay.

6070872 You made my night with the one of the talking sandwiches :rainbowlaugh:. I'm not a native of the language either, that's why I still have some issues as you have notice, my dear friend. That's why I would like you to be my proofreader or editor, what do you say?

Lovely idea, and writing! I love the aspect of Luna getting stuck on Earth (It always seems to be Twi stuck here, so Lulu getting stuck instead is fab-u-lous!)

6010167 You could always write your own story where the go to a different country instead of bitching about it being set in the States? How 'bout doing that?

6191670 I am sorry if it sounded like I am bitching. I was, and am, just hoping. I do not want to influence you (at least not this time, it is your story after all and you didn't ask for advice yet :derpytongue2:).

And about writing: I can't keep myself concentrated long enough to finish my projects. One of them is a MLP-fan-fiction, one an Arma-2-MLP-mod... I could list more. So, technically, I have already begun my fan-fiction, but I fear I have to rewrite it from scratch because I don't like how it plays out and I don't like the current setting.

I like this story,please do more chapters:twilightsmile:

Welp the Doctor shows up...we have confirmed Nazi sightings, and Luna ate flowers.

Let's do this shit.

The timeline is before the WW 2 ?

Nice, it is interessting, but i am not sure how much i really like it, i have to read more.

I am a bit wary about the guy at the end, but i like the other people till now, and the story of course.

6349637 Thanks and yes, this one took a long amount of time, I hope that the next chapter don't take that long to be ready :twilightoops:.

6349707 You can say that yes, is the Doctor but not "The Doctor" :trollestia:.


6353274 Let's say that the story is set between 1931-1932 :derpyderp1: (WW 2 began on 1939).

6354169 Glad you like it, hope that you stay till the end :yay:.

6355868 well The Nazi party already existed by that time, and the way those two talked showed to much Aryane pride which was a bit suspicious since germans couldnt show much pride since the treaty of versalles that was really humillating. Besides asking for weapons is not something that nornal germans of that time would do but a pruvate party would.
So this is another question we will hear from the moustacho man?

I LOVE THIS STORY please tell me you are going to write more because this story is AMAZING, I LOVE IT:pinkiehappy:

Can't wait for the next chapter and the chapter after that and so on...:twilightsmile:

MY rating of this story 10:yay: out of 10:yay:

Hope that you are still writing this story:twilightsheepish:

Gg.

A little tip though;

“Well… this isn’t so bad.”

She told herself.

I notice you do this with your dialogues. Your dialogue and It's 'descriptor' should be on the same line, otherwise the story loses it's flow. What it should look like is this:

"Well this isn't so bad." She told herself calmly(or other adverb)

More examples within your story:

"Good to know that, but where are my manners? Jack Remington."

He said extending a hand; the old man took it giving it a firm shake.

"Good to know that, but where are my manners? Jack Remington." He said, extending a hand; the old man took it, giving it a firm shake.

"Luna, I'm home."

Jack said as he closed the door.

"Luna, I'm home." Jack said as he closed the door.

6490497 Thanks a lot for the advice, I will correct that im the future chapters :twilightblush:.

NOW I know you must be busy BUT could you please continue and finish writing this well written story:twilightsmile:

Once everything was left in place, she took the pie and went to the library where she began to search through the books any material that could serve as a reference.

"search through the books for any material that could serve as a reference."

"And with the change of gears plus the new module the machine will run 20% faster."

...I see what you did there.

"She's a grown... mare?... girl? You must trust that she can take care of herself, after all, her world sounds very similar to this. I do not think there is a problem for having left her home alone, right?

Missing a closing " here.

"Jack, mein freund!"

"Jack, mein Freund!" You could add "Wie geht es dir?" or "Wie geht es Ihnen?", depending on how formal you want him to address Jack.

"It seems that certain company is about to close a big deal with Remington Industries, It could be a good idea that you go to speak with them to convince them that the deal with Remington is not as good as they think, what do you think?"

*it

Ah, but that's where you're wrong my dear Aryan friend.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my dear Aryan friend.
What does Aryan mean or stand for?

Fräulein Zehirli

Uhm... what does the name stand for, if I may ask?

Said in annoyed tone a gray-haired man who walked the through the streets of the city,

He bent a little to ease the pain in her his back,

She turned her back to him, sat on the ground and crossed her arms.

...arms?

After all, an exciting chapter again. Who is this Herr Krause? What will that Doctor character do? A lot of open questions and an interesting plot. What is left to do is to correct some errors here and there, and we have an almost perfect story (nopony is perfect, but it isn't bad to strive for perfection. Just don't overdo it).

EDIT: Wait, did they already have refrigerators in the 30s?

6576645 Hi, first, sorry for this delayed answer, life decided to give me some action, that's why I've been away from this, also, thanks a lot for those advices, I will correct the chapter.

Now, regarding to your doubts (feeling a little like Purple Smart:twilightsheepish:):

Answer 1: If my history classes were correct, Aryan is a term used by the Nazi party in reference to their "superior" race, also, is term that can be used by any social group with those kind of radical ideals. :derpyderp2:

Answer 2: Zehirli is a turkish word meaning toxic, poisonous or venomous, I needed a name for the character and I was looking for something that could give her some personality, I can say that she fits perfectly with it. :pinkiecrazy:

Answer 3: About the refrigetators on the 30's, yes, they already have them, of course not as modern as the ones we own today. They called them ice boxes and were viewed as a luxury item, only the "rich" families could acces to them. :trollestia:

6676295 I know it's been a long long time since the last chapter, but you don't have to worry, in fact I'm still working in this story, in fact I have the next full chapter written by now, I'm just editing some parts here and there, also, I took a little time to write that other short story and part of the next chapter of my Bioshock Infinite crossover.

I promise that you will have the next update in this week. :moustache:

Bro I refreshed the page and you updated, and I was just about to leave to.
Anyways, good to see you back, it's been a while.

:pinkiegasp: New chapter!

When the young alicorn

...she isn't exactly young...

"Interesting..." The cop closed his notebook.

Woah, watch out. I'm pretty sure they weren't being called cops at that time. And this is Great Britain, or am I wrong? In that case you'd call them Police Constables.

"Where are my manners, Doctor Tiberius Turner, at your service."

*flips table* Woohoo! The Doctor!

I was so worried, where the hell have you been, mister?

*in Tartarus; also, missing a closing " there.

Overall, a fresh, nice chapter. The awakening in the morning will certainly shock Jack :pinkiehappy:

OH SHIT
I DIDN'T SEE THAT ENDING COMING


Luna gon be jelly.

Also,

You will have to read to know what will happen , also, it seems that this week we entered in a new lunar year, maybe that's why the inspiration returned, I finished this chapter in two days, a new record for me.

Heh, seems like what happened with my story this week.
Lunar new year for the win!

... and Luna changed herself into a human. I am going to drop this story.

Nice to see this update.

I hope that Luna's change is just temporal. Other than that, I find this story really good.

Several minutes went by until finally she saw emerge from the fog a creature, it was tall and thin, but wasn’t a pony of any kind. From the distance, one could say it was a minotaur, but it didn’t have horns nor fur, still, this strange creature walked upright on two legs, and his skin was covered with fabrics./quote]

First off, I liked the first half of the chapter very much, with all the things happening and the progress we have here. The end... well, some random errors I encountered first:

Jack screamed again, this time taking his hands to his head and pulling his hair.

Hm. I feel the term yelled is more appropriate here, as screamed was used shortly before this.

"Does the Princess didn't talked with you yesterday?" Asked Turner.

Errr... I think it should be: "Did the Princess not talk with you about it yesterday?" Turner asked.

Apparently, someone caused big troubles in a downtown bar; all customers threw the poor guy into the sewer.

Huh, nobody missing in on that? That would include him... common usage would be "the customers", as far as I know.

Through all this, Luna looked at Jack with amazement

Missing a full stop here (this-> . ).

"How do you feel? Tiberius asked.

Missing a closing " here.

You're a box of surprises

I don't guarantee that anything of the above is right, I'm writing this at 23:30h (11:30 PM).

...:facehoof: no, just no. Why have Luna transform to a human? :raritydespair:
It would've been interesting to see her being to transform to an actual pony (as she might be more comfortable with that and it's not suspicious at all in that era).
And introducing plot device "magical earrings", that you could almost call a deus ex machina at the same time... nah, I don't buy this.
But the twist of him having a fiancée, oh snap! Jack, this evening will be longer than you have thought... :trixieshiftright:
Anyway, let's see where this leads to! :twilightsmile:

6969867 Once again, thanks a lot for the advices my friend :twilightsmile:. It seems that this chapter was a "jump the shark" event with Luna turning into a human :facehoof: and to many of you it didn't like it at all so I'll have to deal with it in the next chapter :pinkiecrazy: .

P.S.: Looks like so far no one has noticed a little datail in this chapter:rainbowhuh:, or if you did, you just simply ignored it:twilightoops:... I won't say no more about it:trollestia::trollestia:.

6977635 ...should I be worried now? :rainbowhuh:
And, argh! I'll need to re-read this then :twilightangry2: ...but first, I've gotta go to work! :eeyup:
