Hello, aspiring writer and artist here I dream big and procrastinate like hell. Hopefully that won't stop me from Uploading >~<

An average run of the mill person gets thrown into the world of Equestria just not quite the way he hoped,now he has to figure out how to be the Princess of Friendship before ponies get too suspicious.

4/5/19: Still working on the story, OC tag was added for a future interaction.

Violence Tag only exists for a battle to two.

5/23/19: I keep adding stuff ugh :twilightblush: Buut I might be working on rewriting some of this stuff after posting Chapter 6.

Chapters (8)

this should be interesting to see play out

I just hope this doesn't end up like the others you know abandoned

I have plans to keep this story going for a bit of time... but my updates might be a little spacious, i have an extreme case of procrastination. :scootangel:

I'm trying not to make it generic, but even I don't know where most of the story is going :pinkiecrazy:

Everything seems fine. You shall be escorted to your castle as soon as Celestia raises the sunโ€

Don't steamroll so much! You don't have to push ahead in the plot super fast. Take some time to get yourself comfortable, ease the reader into the situation. Do you really think it's a good idea to have a nurse there ready to say "Yup you're fine. Time to get ready to go," before the protagonist has gotten in a single word edgewise? I mean maybe Equestrian medical care is just that bad, but...

The Nurse Pony Shrugged and hoped that this was due to temporary amnesia

I left a constructive comment on this chapter, and you found it very insightful. Everyone was really impressed. :duck:

Don't just explain what's going on. Describe how the nurse pony acted when she hoped it was due to temporary amnesia, and leave it unexplained. If you still feel like people are going to be lost if you don't explain, then describe more.

Also you missed an opportunity there.

โ€œThank goodness Princess Twilight, youโ€™re awake!โ€
โ€œPrincess Twilight? My name's Jack, not Princess Twilight!โ€
โ€œJack? But surely the name you remember is Princess Twilight!โ€
โ€œNo, I remember Jack.โ€
โ€œYou don't??โ€
โ€œI don't what?โ€
โ€œWhat do you remember?โ€
โ€œJack.โ€
โ€œIt's worse than I thought! You have total amnesia!โ€

Thanks for the tips! Although the next chapter should have more conversational aspects, I tried to cut down on explanations to make it easier to digest,Then Again I wasn't really thinking too hard about comedy I'll try to include a bit more :pinkiesmile:

Don't worry about comedy. Just focus on describing in vivid detail what you're gonna explain, until you don't need to explain it anymore.

As interesting as the concept is, it has a little too much telling and not enough showing. The grammar and punctuation needs some work as well.

Like, for instance, these sentences:

"Yes Spike?".

Generally you don't use a full stop after a closing quote mark.

Jack would be caught in a moment of confusion looking around himself before hesitantly assuming the role and speaking up

This is what's called a run-on sentence. You need extra punctuation here.

Also, I've noticed you've got some trouble with tenses, given that the sentence above is actually in future tense, whereas two paragraphs before:

He clamped his mouth shut not daring to speak another word as he started to dance about on his hooves "I'm Twilight?" he thought shaking his head within reasonable disbelief "There is no way that could happen, she doesn't exist!" he started to panic frantically turning his head left and right as if he was looking for something in haste.

is in past tense.

Oh, and you move from third person to first person in the last few paragraphs:

Spike would look down with slight worry and a chuckle "Heh heh forgot you were at the hospital, are you okay?"

Mustering all the strength I had not to chuck Spike off a distant cliff I replied with a slightly exasperated tone "Of course I'm fine Spike why wouldn't I be?"

this can only end badly and I will be eating popcorn as it does

It is a nice story, but I think you need to proofread more or get someone to proofread it for you as there are some problems. Below is some of the things I found, I hope it helps you a bit.

I took a couple of wobbly and cautious steps the mere size of the interior room had caught my amazement luckily no one was around to catch my starry eyed gaze, Then I had noticed a couple of glaring issues stopping in my tracks while i began to mumble as I tended to do while in deep thought "Alright first off I had no idea where the Library even was asking would likely bring suspicion seeing as Twilight herself would normally know, Second of all i can barely manage to walk without almost losing my balance which would be sure to tip someone off to something, and Third of all I have no idea how to control magic. I see why Twilight makes lists". I said ending my internal monologue I took a deep breath and tried to look for some sort of direction or sign but much to my dismay I saw the same crystal walls with the same crystal pathways.

starry eyed should be starry-eyed also a few capitalization problems.

"Seriously how do you find your way around this place, everything looks the same!" I had stopped barely making it into the center of the first room without falling over I really needed to master at least walking, it would make travel so much easier. I began to try to pace in a circle focusing on my hooves I couldn't get a rhythm going often tripping over myself or falling to the side from the lack of support on the ground. I shook my head after the last failed attempt I had ended up on my side so I tried to shift my weight luckily I had been near a wall that could support my efforts i rubbed myself against the glass like surface and managed to push my hooves from under me I stood once more trying to survey my surroundings, It seemed like no one heard my failed attempts and I pursued onward absent minded as I was focusing on trying to form a game-plan to my surprise I was walking in circles around the edge of the wall. As soon as I noticed I was walking without difficulty, my legs had seemingly turned into Jello causing me to again crash into the hard crystalline floor I let out a slight yelp of pain as one of my hooves started to sting. "Note to self Thinking about walking doesn't aid movement."

A few commata missing(marked the places), also a question should end with a question mark, even rhetorical ones "how do you find your way around this place". Also, some sentences are really long, I think there should be a period after "of the first room without falling over". Also an I is not capitalized.

With this new information in mind I pushed myself upwards again as the pain subsided I focused solely on finding the Library in this place I picked a hallway and traversed down it's similar decor. Often stopping at available doors I exited many with a disappointed frown as I had seemingly found a couple of Storage Rooms, a Broom Closet and the Kitchen where Spike laid face down in a bowl of gems I presume, that last one made me particularly frustrated as i had seemingly looped around a couple of times. "Seriously how do you get lost in this place!" I yelled the anger picking up in my tone as no one responded it was eerily quiet not that I wanted company that would only bring about more problems. I think I took a right turn I was so lost in frustration I didn't watch where I was going the trail ended in front of a room that actually had a sign. I was elated at last the Library! or so I thought I proceeded to read the sign out loud "Starlight's Room".

Again a few punctuations missing, commata except after "subsided" and "responded" it needs periods. It should be its and not it's and capitalization is missing on the "or".

It took me a bit to process what I had just read then the realization hit me like a truck my thoughts speeding through my mind like a bullet train "Starlight?! Oh god, should I?" I was racked with doubt on one hand.. or was it hoof? Regardless I could meet my favorite character or I could hasten my departure from this land, I must've been lost in thought again because I didn't notice the door open suddenly another purple hoof waved in front of my face as Starlight had said something.

I few commata missing, also it seems a word is missing between "truck" and "my thoughts". Also,".." should be either an ellipsis or a period.

Starlight must've felt a little weary she began to slowly back away before coming to a halt her hoof touching the tip of my horn which made me shiver a little, she began to speak with a slightly worried tone as if I had just asked to lick her eyeball.

Again needs a word or something in between, probably "[...] weary as she began[...]" and "[...]a halt. Then her hoof touched[...]". If a sentence has 9 different verbs it is probably run on a bit too much.

I wonder how he gets out of this one.

:derpyderp1:

This is a cute story so far. Just a heads up, you switched from third person to first person near to the end of the chapter. Other than that, I'm eager to read more!

9643746
Thanks, Sorry for the late reply I've gotten a Job recently and haven't had as much time to write, couple that with some writers block and yeah... but I will work on getting something out by next Monday so Keep an eye out for it.

:pinkiehappy:

This is an amazing story! I really liked Chapter 1.

I am going to read this hoping it will continue soon and you'll start to upload more.

(I don't like waiting a year for more chapters, thanks!(I didn't mean to sound snarky or mean, oops!))

10168227
Yeah sorry! I was so in my own head I didn't even notice it was almost a year-long wait. It blew my own mind too! I plan to keep it more regularly updated again :heart:

10168238
thx, i just read them all!!ยก!
theyre pretty great, worried on the sombra eyes

Interesting. So a human is dripped into Equestria, in the body of a major heroine, while Sombra is on the loose. Leaving her without combat ability or really any skills until she is able to re-learn her body... Who knows, perhaps the real Twilight is somewhere around as well, a shadow...

This is intriguing! Great work!

10168238
And then you cancelled it. So much for those regular updates then.

I hope you post more of this story someday? You've got some fun ideas here. Thanks for writing.

I tried to like it but I can't enjoy reading it compared to the original

did they change places?

Are you a time traveler by any chance, it's weird seeing these chapters in such different release date or maybe your renewing your chapters

This first chapter beats the new first chapter. No huss, no fuss, only purple

uis

Funfact: in some languages(at least in russian) "it's purple for me" means "I don't care".

The pony squealed with delight, I recoiled a slight bit to gain my composure but after opening my mouth I had an odd compulsion to blurt out the next words that came into my mind.
