Daniel Murphy - soldier, Confederate sympathizer, and Christian fundamentalist - has been trapped in Equestria until he can give up his brutal mentality and learn the true magic of friendship. This is his journal.
Wow. I read the description and thought I would dislike this protagonist but God I hope he fucking shoots twilight. He is completely right in his rant. They realize that they fucking kidnapped and are holding prisoner a damn soldier. It would have made it better if he refused to say anything besides his name and rank
7503056 I considered it, but the story would probably turn out as frustrating for the reader as for the ponies if he refused to interact with them at all. Of course, technically he isn't operating as a soldier and he isn't being held as a "prisoner of war", per se, so it could be argued that technically the CoC doesn't apply. But, yeah, mostly it's just because him doing nothing more than glaring at them wouldn't make for a very good story outside of possibly a one-shot from the pony perspective, Or at least, I wouldn't be able to make it work.
7503143 What, you mean magical brainwashing? No, if I wanted to write that, I'd write an actual Conversion Bureau story.
Twilight is acting as if the topic of religion is brought up a lot, and is acting defensive about her understanding. The world is quick to debate in real life, yes, but why would this be her first and most pressing concern? If she's really trying to win over his friendship the method of "challenge everything he believes in" might not be the best one. Admittedly the guy is acting like a total "Daddy Derrick" type bigoted jerk, but she's egging him on continuously.
I don't like the way you're portraying Twilight. Pretty good idea for a story though.
7576081 I will. It just might be a while. My studies take up most of my time, and I'm also working on another story that's much more popular, so I don't have much time to work on this one. It's not dead, though.
7576124 A "the Galactic Empire invades Equestria" story. I feel a bit weird promoting my own story like this, but since you asked: STAR WARS / FIM: Realms of the Heavens A word of warning, if you decide to read it: some chapters, especially near the beginning, are very poorly edited (it's my first attempt at writing fanfiction). Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go back and edit it once it's done.

This has potential. You have my attention. Although, I do have concerns that this is going to turn into some conversion buero level shenanigans.

7503205 could be made as a short or alternate story. Just him saying Name, Rank, Serial number

7576112 Didn't think you would actually reply, uhhh "witty response" STUDIES that sucks
7576112 Oh, and what story
7576124

7576150 Huh... IL check it out
Do not give in to pony ideologies and be proud of your race.
This fic makes me want to bash Twilight in the face. She's the reason people dislike atheism.
Not bad....
