Is this the real life? Or is it just fantasy?

No, seriously, I find myself thinking that about me read later list quite often. :derpytongue2: Though the 7th element thing actually isn't all that common... Especially for ones that get over a 50% approval. :facehoof:

7198397 I know its not too terribly common, I've just found a decent amount of them while browsing lately, so I just had to make the joke. Haha.

7198422 Heh, I can give you that. Though I think there is only like one group for that, and in it are only 24 stories and... actually most of those are decently rated but there are a bunch not listed in the group that have very poor ratings. :derpytongue2:

not my main concern, but I want to ask if this has some slice of life and romance as well, since I know not every tag can be well shown together.

I read it anyway, but if you can answer my question I'm sure "when" I want to read it, since I have a few more.

7200252 Slice of Life, yes. I'm pretty sure I accidentally uploaded it with an adventure tag at first, but i went back and changed it later. Romance I can't really say. This fic is literally "I couldn't get words out for the main fan fiction I just started, so i opened a new doc and started writing, and this happened" type of thing. Nothing really is planned, besides a few scenes that came to me while writing.

7200474 that's okay, it is enough to know that it could happen, doesn't need to happen now, I don't like those "love at first sight stuff anyway.

7200479 Yeah, that's one of the reasons I may avoid it, is because those stories where its like "I've been here a week and we are in love and going to have so many kids and no one can say anything about it" annoy the hell out of me. Doesn't stop me from reading if everything else is well done, but when you have a cliche like that it just kinda kills the romance part for me. But what I was saying before is I may avoid romance specifically because I'm not so good at writing it and i don't wanna write myself into a cliche that i highly dislike.

7200479 Also I just read your most recent blog post, and you may be in for a few surprises :derpytongue2:

“my OC is a Mary Sue and knows the exact way to solve every problem ever”

ohh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!, i had one of those a week before, and one with another element, but that is actually written prettxy good.

Okay I'm not exactly sure if it is the best start I had read so far, or how good exactly it is, but I "can" say that I'm pretty much satisfied with it.

Yep I think I could like it.

7200500 Well maybe in a sequel, I don't really need it, but it somehow started to be something like a part of the slice and life tag.
I don't exactly need them to focuse on each other and rarely doing anthing with others.

Not sure if you know what I mean, but it is really enough for me to know that the characters are well aware of that concept, but a good friendship is enough for now, Maybe if enough people like the way you write you can still try something later. Till then just take the time for him to get some actual friends first and I help you with telling you my opinion.

I stop for now, I forgot what I wanted to add and I'm pretty tired today.

7200503 Really? okay I let it be a suprise, I'm not going to remind myself of what I had said there.

As I continue down the rode,

How do you drive down a rode?

Is this the real life? Or is it just fantasy?

I thought the exact same thing!

7200730 You're welcome.
Although there is now a part of me sligthly disapointed; I was hoping it to be an expression I didn't know and I was kinda looking forward to the learning experience.

I spotted a few other typos here and there, but globally, it is adequately writted, it could be a fun thing to read.

7200755 Thanks. This honestly wasn't planned, I started a story last week that has been stuck in my head for almost A year, and in planning for almost 2 months now. Released the prologue, sat down to finish chapter 1, and couldn't get words out, so I started this on a whim. Didn't really look for an editor or anything cus I literally wrote it and sub,titled it in about an hour and a half. Just kinda writing what goes through my head currently. Haha

Once you find your beat, you must then master it.

Master your beat

I'm saying you should jack off

Hmmm interstinginteresting start, a bit cliche and I am unsure where this is going but I do like me the sub genre of Hie.

Write on Ye wordsmith.

7205448 It's HiE, of course it's cliche. That's part of the fun of writing it. Poking fun at it and other cliches that are so overdone it's redonculous. It's just for fun.

7205539 Well said. I shall watch and wait for what comes next.

As they pushed me through the hotel, one of the unicorn nurses floated a needle over and stuck it in my foreleg.

There is a hotel in the hospital? Fancy, but quite a poor location to take a vacation.

7206372 fixed, thanks for pointing that out! Downside of writing on an iPad, autocorrect, bane of my existence!

Bohemian rapsody themed chapters? How fitting...
This situation is so fucked up!

While I like the idea of him switching, I hope it is only to let him slowly stay in Equestria, I have to admit that I think I would not be interessted in his life in his own world, at least if there is nothing special.

7268700 While he may not stay in Equestrian per se, there will not be a focus on life in the real world. More specifically MY life in the real world. The character is me, so to speak. While I don't actually have narcolepsy, everything else I've written about my real life is fact. That's why there is going to be little focus on the real world, because as much as I'm adding elements of my real life to the story so you all can get a feel for my character, I'm not all that comfortable about going into too much detail about my life.

The story seem to be getting along well enough, all does it still had a long way before it can stand out.

7273607 It's got a lot of developing to do, but at the same time I'm trying not to go too fast. I want to make sure I develop the characters and the situation properly.

7642483 *Jolts awake* "I'm up, I'm up!" *Looks around* "Oh, hello there! Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I've got a few other projects that I'm working and haven't gotten around to doing another chapter for this story. Apologies for the delay! Hopefully I can get something for this story before the month is up!"

TL;DR version: I've got other stories I'm working on, and haven't had much inspiration/drive to do anything with this one, but I'll be coming back to it.

Jeeze... it's been... over a decade since I read that book. Don't even remember what it is about now. Wow... Had a near complete collection of the Hardy Boys mystery series too. Nice to see it being mentioned elsewhere.

7802855 My grandfather has most of them, and I was an avid reader growing up, so I read all the ones he had quite a few times. They were one of my favorite series growing up.

Well I think the rewrite seems to be processing, I like the idea that the human will be spending time with Rarity youth maybe also spend time with AJ unless she is in Manehaten during that time. I like the idea that the guy has a speech impediment, I wander how you're going to go about it.

Is that the real story of his parents and are you sticking to it? :pinkiecrazy: With a name like that it was more fun picturing him as Luna's child banished to another dimension and pulled back parially due to the Rainboom. :derpytongue2: Rather conveient that all family is unreachable.

7809712 Honestly? *Caution, spoilers ahead! DO NOT read unless you are ready to have a few things ruined.* That is going to be what really happened with is parents, and it will be used as a bit of a plot device (and possible for a few jokes) in the childhood arc. It's funny you brought up Luna, too, in the original version, she was the one that pulled him over, but I won't say any more because spoilers within spoilers.

As for his name, Dream Weaver was my original OC that I made back in 2011 (I have, like, 13 of the damn things now because stories) and his name came from a quote I had heard, that I think was from shakespeare stating "What is a writer, but a weaver of dreams". I Picked that because I enjoy writing of all kinds, both song/lyric and creative writing.

I will fully admit that the main reason his family is unreachable is because I need an excuse for him to stay in Ponyville

Also, I just realized that you're the one that writes Seven Lights, which was one of the inspirations in the new direction my story is taking, haha. Your initial comment on my story also makes SO much more sense now.

7803771 She was in Manehatten during the events of the first 2 chapters, as it took place during the initial Rainboom event, but filly AJ will be around. Eventually...

Well this looks like a promising story far. We have a mystery in how hands with the guy apparently possessing the body of a colt and that that colt had apparently escaped from the demurrers of of his parents. I am not entirely sure that what the guard ways is the truth as I the guards apparently didn't even say Dream's body's real name and I find it suspicious that the colts parents names weren't even said. I don't think that it is standard practice for guard to lie about a foal's parents death either even if it is under Celestials orders, and I wouldn't believe that she could afford the time to deal with this case personally unless there are greater powers involved. The chapter's flowed rather well until the arrival of the guard; after that the writing started to get a bit stiff. I think taking it was rush toward the end there. Still, I am looking forward to the next story.

7810385 to be honest, the part with the guard was the only part that wasn't rewritten after I initially finished the chapter. I will admit it didn't flow as well as I had wanted it to, but everything that is happening is happening for a reason, just keep that in mind.

Interesting premise (first read after editing). Followed, aka; I'm keeping my eye on you, mister...:pinkiecrazy:

Well... That escalated quickly :rainbowderp:

Taking a look around the room, I took a moment to ponder my situation. ‘Ok, so apparently if it’s daylight on Earth, it’s night time here. It was quarter after ten in the mourning last I saw before I passed out, so here it should be…’

Typo!!!

And I must say, this is a nice and clever use of an overdone concept. I gotta give you props for that my friend

Oh look new cover art.
I like it.

7958618 Thanks! There will be a new chapter as well, hopefully pretty soon. Been in a bit of a rough spot the past few weeks and haven't had much drive to do anything. But I'm working my way out of it!

Any hope for an update?
