I wonder if the ARRRS are going to be showing up?
Fingers crossed that some of them turn into amphibious creatures.
What's the first story in the universe after people series?
8588929 The Last Pony on Earth.
aww... I'll have to wait another chapter to see their reactions...
Okay, interesting start... Got me hooked.
8589552 Yeah, I wanted to spend the first chapter getting to know them a little more before the Event.
8588951
Thanks :D

Are you referring to the non-pony, fish-people characters of Klugetown featured in My Little Pony: The Movie released in 2017? That would be neat to also include the anthropomorphic cat-people based upon Capper.
List of non-pony characters / Klugetowners
8592565
Yup!
Picture it!
DIving beneath the ship to catch fish.
Pushing the boat in emergencies.
Life guards.
So, wonder if there are any gender based spells to fix them?
8592999 None that I know of, but that's not the point, its supposed to very much be about how the characters cope with their changes, which includes those that are gender swapped.
Well that went well. I wonder if anyone will be able to pickup the distress calls?
8593125 Maybe they will, maybe they won't, we'll see.
Oh god they've all been turned into bad OC's
Also, with a nickname like Sam, maybe the gods doing this thought she was a he
uh? how do she know she can use the horn for something?
I get that she can recognize being an unicorn, but she is implying that she already know that her horn can do magic...
my suggestion? you can rephrase a bit like:
or
Ahh, the first changes get listed. Unfortunately so many ways for an engineer to be affected if they are transitioned in the middle of work. One slip up and it can be a fall, tangling, or worse. We can only hope it was quick and clean. Even if it was just dropping the soap then stepping on it in the bathroom.
Depends on what the relative time of return is, that theres a shortwave reciver on Malta or Rome or Gibraltar, given I thought the larger the collection of people, the more likely they were to appear later in the return list, just due to the rate of return function?
So far, so good. Shock is keeping people quiet. Its when things start really picking up and panic starts rising. Those engines need running up full power to demonstrate the place is still working, even if they dont move much at first. At least that ship can carry several thousand miles worth of fuel and is North Atlantic rated?
And so begins the chaos and confusion, along with the adjustment. ...Here's hoping that distress call doesn't attract any unwanted attention...
8593691 Indeed, really it all kinda depends on where in the timeline it falls, it may attract something worse than just pirates...
8593488 Yeah, I haven't decided what happened to him yet, and the Anthem is of course rated for Atlantic travel... its just a matter of getting the ship working.
8593471 I took your suggestion and changed it to
How's that?
8593344 Nah, they've all been turned into good OCs because its my fic!
Also with Ponies After People there's a chance of getting gender swapped when you return, I just decided to include both ways that can go.

looks great
Before the Event, the Human Preservation Initiative was humankind’s largest ever science project. Thus, with so many workers on this project, there would be people who knew beforehand of the Event, but were not important enough to get tickets to the HPI bunker.
Imagine that one or two of these senior, congressional representatives were on this tourist ship, expecting to die during the Event, but instead came back as ponies. For example, these representatives have seen a movie about the pony nation with voice-over narration by Twilight Sparkle. The reason is that they would not approve spending billions of dollars on financial support for HPI without seeing proof that the magical land of magical ponies are real and that magic is dangerous to humans. Also, they have seen what ponies and other species can do.
The conflict comes when some passengers and crew demand to know why these representatives didn’t say anything about the Event before it happened.
Passenger: “You knew this wave of dangerous energy would engulf our world and you didn’t tell anyone?”
Representative One: “What were we supposed to tell you? But that way, midway into your vacation, the galaxy will be immersed by a new type of radiation that is deadly to human life. You would think that we were totally crazy! Let’s just be happy that we survived the Event and then make the most out of our new lives. For my congressional colleague and I, we need to get back the states and then attempt to rebuild our state and someday our United States.”
Representative Two: “My son is a mechanic repairing US M1A1 tanks in South Korea. In a text message send about one minute before the Event, he said that his repair crew was test driving a tank to make sure that they had repaired it well. My son was sitting in the command chair in the turret, while another mechanic was driving it. I assure you that I didn’t tell him anything about the Event as I didn’t want him to worry about something he has no control over. If I didn’t tell my son about the Event, why should you expect that I would tell a ship full of strangers, some of them that didn’t even vote for me?”
8622128 I like this idea actually, kinda like they thought they were going to die so they splourged on a cruise vacation since their money would do them no good if they’re dead, why not have some fun before they die?
Thanks for the chapter
8692396 You're welcome
So you don't just update Survivor's Guilt and leave other stories to rot! I'm shocked! ...Jokes aside, seriously great chapter.
Ah, someone who had a bit of prewarning from the HPI. Nice. They at least won't be entirely clueless!
Sad to here they lost a few seaponies though...
8692742 Even if you're on a ship its bound to happen if you can't get out of your cabin.
8692749
Because I honestly can't remember, any bats or griffons on the boat?
8692777 Yes, one of the main characters is a bat pony and I have plans for a griffon.
nice update.
Omg this is really good plz dont cancle
9207563 I won't, I don't cancel any of my stories really, I just, well I'll get it updated at some point.
9207568
You and me both brother(high school take so much time)
Huh, never expected to see this again. But still, all the same, nice work.
9385524 I'm hoping to get everything ongoing updated, this was just the first one I happened to get a chapter done on.
Is Anthem of the Seas a real Cruise ship?
9385632 Yes it is actually, it launched a month or so before the Event in Ponies After People which is why I picked it. The cover image for the fic is a picture of the real ship.
Well it looks like everyone is selling down. I wonder how long until they make contact with the outside world?
9385853 I... honestly have no idea.
A wild new chapter appears!!!
Go purplebookhorse
10007508 Hope you like it.
10007510
Yes thanks for the chapter
10007543 You're welcome.
Thinking about it these guys are pretty much screwed.
From a navigational perspective, there really is nothing they can get a reliable fix on.
So yeah, even if that Italian guy on the radio (which I'd assume is VHF ch16) tells his coordinates, they can't plot an intercept maneuver since they don't know where they are anymore. Might get a better chance by switching on their EPIRB and hope its frequency is still in use so locals can home in on the VHF beacon.
To me it looks like it's more about someone finding them than it is about them finding someone.
Wonder how that's going to pan out.
10007693
They were just drifting.
Hopefully the Captain and some of the crew were taught how to use a sextant, so they can attempt to figure out how much north-south they drifted.
I don't recall if any of them have actually looked up at night and noticed the stars are 'wrong'.
10007714
They most certainly do. Knowledge of celestial navigation is a skill that is compulsory for all watchkeeping officers of any rank according to STCW conventions, and I seriously doubt watchstanders on a Royal Caribbean ship would fail to uphold such standards sounds more like a MSC move. Normal procedures would have them do at least one such calculation per watch, usually to measure gyrocompass error.
The problem remains that they moved ahead in time, and as such not only are all their chronometers off kilter, they don't have a valid nautical almanac to predict the movement of celestial bodies. Even when you use relatively simple stuff like Polaris and Noon sight (meridian passage), you still need stuff like your relative angle to Aries, or the sun's declination if you want to calculate your latitude.
It might be possible to estimate stuff like the sun's declination by interpolating between the two solstices, but it would be wildly inaccurate and could induce errors of more than 1° in latitude. At best. Same goes for Polaris, mistakes without knowing Aries' angle can induce mistakes anywhere from .5 to 1.5° in latitude.
....you know, I was going to comment but after seeing the maritime remarks I feel inadequate. Still, I can hope Sam and Ashley work through this.
the fun thing about measuring the height of the sun at midday to find South, or North, depending where you ar relative to the Equator, is the midday sun moves through a figure 8 in the sky over the course of a year. And the direction the 8 points changes where you are in the world. Worse case is, you point mid day sun South mid summer, and its a Lot of degrees out when looking at the midday sun in Winter?
I think those are the solstice things?
At least they aint having to fall back to Savery Pulsejet propulsion from burning wood yet.
Well things keep getting interesting here. I hope they proceed with caution as we don't know how far forward they have been thrown. It could only have been a few decades or a thousand years. Since they had over a thousand people they probably got shoved pretty far forward.
