[No, this is not a Pulp Fiction crossover unfortunately, I don't feel like I could do that justice anyways]

Painfully awakening to the sight of his life, Alan McLane stands stranded on an alien world in a body not his own. Now he is burdened with a mission: Protect the magical princess, find his daughter, return to his original form, and get this talking rodent to shut up, a standard quest, if only it had stayed bound to the comfortable confines of a monitor.

Meanwhile, Ella McLane goes all film noir on the unsuspecting hidden world of magecraft, filled to the bubbling brim with well dressed, cynical lawmen, magical ne'er do wells, and a random assortment of inter-dimensional travelers, all put on the hunt for whoever, or whatever, took away her father.

All the while, each are pursued by parties with select interests in them, whether that be forced indoctrination into a cult, or just because pony sounded really good for dinner.

Find out! In the exciting (exposition driven) debut of:

¡Bomba de ficción!

Interesting. Can't say more than that since I'm afraid I'm not all that familiar with the inspirations driving the plot, so I'll just wait and see how things develop.

Regarding inspirations, Stargate, Harry Potter, and One Piece actually provided most of the inspiration for the direction of the plot and elements of the world.

Well, that's going in my writing music playlist, thanks mate!

Not with the story behind you're name, 'Twitch' might as well be God given.

An unfortunate pronunciation leads to a bit of a mess, interdimentional travel,

The seer size of the disturbance


This is a marvelous story, so far. The rich description really pulled me in, and these are some fascinating and creative scenarios. The plot isn't anything... particularly original, though that does depend on where this story goes with it. The wordplay is also really poetic. A lot of meaning packed into a few words like "bittersweet melancholy and unreserved empathy." The action is thrilling and tense, and the whole thing flows really well.

Specific to chapter 3, there needs to be a bit more description of Aurora's situation as they start out. "travois" isn't exactly the most common word in English, and it's the only word used to describe the improvised stretcher arrangement until much later. So, I'd add something about how it's sliding across the snow, how Aurora managed to get it hitched to herself, how they're using it to transport Twilight because she won't wake up, and other details to help clueless and forgetful readers like me figure out what's going on in the establishment of a scene. Other than that, this story's pretty fantastic.

Also maybe a mention of when Aurora loses the travois in her flight, and perhaps a few moments of them gazing across the forcefield as they watch the monsters fighting over various bits of purple unicorn.

He would survive, even if it killed him!

Thank you very much! I'll get on those right now. I've actually got Chapter 3/4 (depending on how to count chapters) a quarter finished, and I intend to answer a few questions there, but first, I'll make sure the readers actually know what the questions are before I answer them. Thanks again!

Edit: Those issues should be fixed now, thank you for letting me know.

Normally I am not too keen on TG stories so I rely on the writing to carry me through it, I hope the intrigue will keep my attention on it, keep it up.

This has potential. Understand little of what's going on so I'm going to need you to write more.

A strange and interesting story that I'm happy to see update. Very well written too by the way, though you used defiantly when you meant definitely. Don't worry about it too much, that has to be one of the most common accidental swaps I've seen.

That was actually on purpose, if you can believe it.

"Though she wasn't sure if she was doing it for Bailey's sake or her own... Both. Defiantly both."

I thought it added to her character.
