It's been a while since Twilight and the gang returned from Middle Earth, and they've decided to teach its lore and history at their newly opened School of Friendship, and their students love it! One pony most intrested with Middle Earth is Sunset Shimmer, who has returned to Equestria for a long deserved break. The whole idea of new magic and grand quests fascinates her, and leaves her wishing that she could've been there. And after some unforeseen anomalies with the Dimensional Mirror, she gets her wish.
But something is wrong. Bilbo seems younger, and no one has ever heard of Equestria. It appears that she has not only traveled to Middle Earth, but went back in time as well! Now she must help 13 dwarves and a hobbit slay a dragon to get their home back, all the while more, try to find a way back to Equestria.
A sequel to Fellowship is Magic by Mr-War
I have received permission from Mr-War to write this sequel. (pls don't C&D me)
What about Fellowship is Magic? It's still not finished yet. I thought someone else is going to adopt that story before continuing on where it left off.

I'm working with him to address the plot that wasn't mentioned in Fellowship is Magic. I half-hope that working with him on this will give him incentive to working on it again.
Ok, I'm going to be honest I'm a bit Hesitant of reading the story part of the reason why I stopped reading "Fellowship of The Ring" was because I felt that the ponies were made too over power in the later chapters, especially when it came to Twilight.
It just made the whole great journey to Mordor seem....I really don't know the word to put it fittingly. Don't get me wrong the story was good from start to middle, but when they got to the possessed king of Rohan was when I lost all interest in the story.
That's the sad truth of it. Which was a shame for me because I was wondering if the author could do this for LotR. Than I would like to see something similar for the Original Star Wars Trilogy.
Sorry for rambling on like that. my point is I really hope you don't make Sunset and Starlight over power in this story. Especially when they meet the dragon, Smaug. That encounter between Bilbo and him was the best part of both the story and the 2nd movie.
Well, you know what I mean?

I'm not like most writers. I don't like to make my characters OP, I don't like for them to have solutions for everything. I already made it impossible for them to be OP by taking away their magic. And they are aware that they traveled through time, so they're going to be careful with what they do and try to stand in the sidelines (In the beginning, at least).
I urge you to stay until they come to the trolls, and then decide if you should abandon ship.
9924413
Well, When you put that way. Alright I'll give this story a chance.
9924419
I understand your suspiciousness. Those kinds of tropes are something most writers on this site fall prey to, after all.
9924441
Yes, quite right. Not a good habit for an fanfic author. However, I suppose it can't be helped at times, it's part of the learning experience on the road to being good author and storyteller. What you should or should not do in writing a story.
Like I said Friendship of the Ring was good from start to midway. But than the part in Rohan was when I just couldn't take the story seriously anymore. I mean for crying Saruman was one of the major bad guys in LotR, a real threat to Middle-Earth. So for Twilight to essentially steamrolled him the way she did. I just simply say, No. Just no. And stopped reading the story right than and there.
I don't know about the other readers and maybe it's just me. I really I don't know how to put it into words, friend.
BTW, This story is showing some promise so far.
9924545
I agree on some parts. Twilight was overpowered in later parts of the story. But I wrote that off as one of the advantages of being a royal demigod.
But I think it was balanced off with her failures. She tried to purify the ring with her magic, but failed. She tried to conceal the ring so it's negative effects wouldn't be as great, she failed. Hell, she and her friends used the Magic of Friendship full blast on the Balrog in Moria, and even then, they failed to defeat it.
I believe that characters should have their moments (such as that moment in Rohan), but it needs to be balanced out with failure. After all, failure is the greatest teacher. And that's why I managed to stick around.
Glad your enjoying it so far, the next chapter should come next week at tge latest. It's time for them to go fetch their burglar.
9924561
Well, Yeah. That was one of the reasons why I stay with the story and kept track of it. It was well balance at a certain point and I'm not saying the mane six should have their moment to shine or whatever.
I just don't think Saruman should have been beaten that easy in his 2nd round against Twilight. I mean this was a wizard, who was the chief of wizards and head of the white council. He didn't earn those titles for nothing.
So for him to lost the way he did. I just find it hard to accept that. I guess chalk it up to LotR fan in me.
All in all, that one part left a lot of mix feels for me and not in a good way.
9924589
There's no easy way to say this, but the next chapter has been delayed for a little bit. Stuff IRL, rewatching the movies, rereading the book, figuring out where to place our protagonists in it, has been a bit of a drag. The next chapter should be up by next week, hopefully sooner. Hang in there for me.
9937176
Oh sure no problem. Actually I'm glad to see someone doing actually research on the lore.
9937290
Well, you can't write a crossover fic without basic knowledge about what you're writing about, after all.
9937302
Well, that's more than what I can say about other rookie authors.
9937340
Yes, indeed. But the bright side is, I managed to squeeze in the next chapter. It's been proofread, and all the spelling errors have been corrected. Funny what you can do if you set your mind to it, eh? But don't expect this to be a normal occurrence. I'll try to post weekly or so, but if a chapter is delayed, chances are that it will be a while before it is posted. We got lucky this time, but I don't expect miracles to happen twice in a row.
9938557
No one expects you do that. Just work at your own pace and take it one at a time. Rushing leads to problems with the narrative and leaves unwanted plot holes within the story.
Fanfics are no exception to this, especially when it come to crossover stories and believe me, I have read my share of bad fics. Displaced stories are notorious of this as well.
9938575
While I admire your concern for me, I assure you that I'm fine. I miscalculated a little bit, and the things I were worried about IRL took shorter to handle than I originally thought. But I think I will take your advice and try to balance out my work on it from now on. Thanks for looking out for me.
GOD that "Burp" game!!! Are those guys nuts?? LOL
Loved this chapter. Waiting for more. :)
The fic itself, I think, is excellent. I look forward to continuing.
Summer is almost over, and I'm still waiting...

These things take time. Plus, I'm working on other stories too, and I have a life. Please be patient.
Finally!
10696256
Like I said, life got in the way. But I'm back and making a schedule so that long haitus's don't happen very often.
So you have returned thank goodness
Yay I was hoping this would return
Can you continue this please? Also, if you're interested, could you adopt Fellowship is Magic? I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY miss it. Thank you and keep up the good work!
10916591
I'm working on it. Story writing is hard, especially when their adaptations.
10916777
How is the next chapter going?
10961921
Slowly
10962932
How much left?
10169585
Sorry
I shall patiently wait for the next chapter because you have caught my interest
10992469
I'm doing the best I can, I promise you. Juggling college, writing other stories, rising and dropping incentive to write said stories, you know the drill.
10993968
How much left?
So did he tell you what his plot for Fellowship is Magic was going to be? Like what do the girls do to help with the Battle of Helms Deep, Pelenor Fields, the Black Gate. And how did they get home? And for the love of all that's holy was Twilight ever able to fly again?!
Next chapter?
