Twilight Sparkle was headed to the Canterlot Historical Revisionists Convention, when a lightning bolt struck her Starswirl the Bearded costume. Forced to find a quick replacement, she spots a pony selling costumes. The sign adorning their booth proclaims "100% Curse-Free Top Quality Costumes!" The pony is even wearing a dark cloak and ominous hood: surely they are a costuming enthusiast.
Normally, Twilight wouldn't buy any merchandise from a shady vendor, but there's no way she's going to show up to the Canterlot Historical Revisionists Convention without a good costume. The historical revision enthusiasts would eat her alive in every debate she attempted!
Surely the merchant is obeying Equestrian truth-in-advertising laws.

...alright, then.
Didn't you announce you were done with writing?
Nice, meta and comedic gold. Thank you.
Welp, that happened.
Probably one of the best displaced fics I've read, though considering I've only skimmed the genre, it may not mean as much as it could've.
I'm just surprized that this story wasn't longer.
This is too specific to not be based on a real experience.
Upvoted for title alone
I Retain the upvote.
That's a ponyville pony for you. Got displaced and a body change? Just another saturday.
Your getting a down vote just because of the massive name...
7184425 I am, but I found this on my hard drive and thought "why not"
7184537 Considering the abysmal quality of most fics in the "genre", I regret to inform you it doesn't mean much at all
7187110 The title (both length and content) is a joke.
They? Why they? Is he many for he is legion?
7187123 Hmm, what if I say that it still feels distinctly your style and does not lower the quality of your writing collection?

Don't care. Its annoying me whenever I go into the feed screen.
7187325 Oooh! Well, you learn new things every day!
Hee. Nicely done.
This is making me want to post my own Displaced fic, in which the main character dresses up as Antimatter Lad. But the problem I'm running into is, he arrives in Equestria at the 950-word mark, and no matter what I do I can't make it reach the 1000-word Fimfic minimum.
Eh. I get the point of it, and it is a good point, and it isn't bad. The problem is... it's like... you know that feeling you get when you're super hungry but the only things in your fridge to eat are those generic cheddar cheese slices you use for elementary school ham/cheese sandwiches? This little fic is the story equivalent of that cheese. It's not bad but it's not a very satisfying satire either.
welp
here we are folks
the circle of stupidity is complete

I haven't heard of him but if his powers are exactly what I expect, then just describe the explosion and aftermath in 50 words.
7187783 You could try uploading it anyway: FIMfic always seems to bloat my story's word counts compared to the word/open office counts. Why, just look at this story's total and chapter word counts
7188654 That's entertainment for you: the popcorn of literature. All the calories, none of the nutrients.
Did she go to England... or New England? Honestly, those accents could have been either.
7187783 As he awoke, he realised This isn't GenericCon! He then felt a strange sensation. His body was systematically being torn apart, particle by particle, causing massive explosions each time. He sighed. Joke about mondays. By that point, the explosions had reached their peak and Equestria was completely destroyed. RIP anon.
Your welcome!
7191054 I was going for Noo Yawk, but it's a hard accent to replicate in text. And the New York/New England areas have a lot of subtle accent differences (like the AW and H sounds) that don't come across well in prose.
Cool.
Sorry, just pointing out a mistake. Words need to be swapped.
Thiw adds originality to buying something from a con and getting into equestria
Huh
HA ha ha
