What you want to happen and what actually does are two entirely different things. A character and a person, or pony, in reality are two different things. Nothing is entirely predictable, and because of that, there is life, an unstaged and ongoing experience with no defined sections. Only a start and finish. An example? Inky has many.
He wanted to graduate college as a grown man, but now lays a broken stallion on a stranger's couch. He was in a magical world that begged to be used, but Inky was turned into an Earth pony. The least arcane of the races.
...Well. He'll figure out a way around that last bit.
Chapters (2)
By "earth pony" do you mean one of Pinkie's sisters? You know, because fans thought one of her sisters was named Inky?

No, just somewhat of a coincidence. I was a little pressed with naming options that I both wanted and thought would fit (came up with the character before the name) and it came down between Ink "Inky" Will and Pen Pal. You can kind of see glimpses already why "Pal" isn't a 101% go-for-launch name. So I just gritted my teeth and prayed that nobody would catch it...
Good catch, though.
Renamed and redid some things. Probably rewrite some stuff soon.
ITS LATE. IM TIRED. PEACE
Ooh. Looks good already.
From here to the end of the chapter I was almost crying. When I first read it I actually dropped my phone.
You are good, man, and I need more of this.
I'm still smiling like an idiot just rereading it.
Edit: Twilight likes what she sees
Edit 2: by changing 3 letters...
