Meteorite is a self-insert whose story began in 2011. However her story was never finished, leaving her to her own efforts to cope with the new but familiar world she found herself in.
Years later, her author thought it'd be nice to get back in touch with her creation, maybe do something nice for her, but things start to go off-script when the author is seen by somepony other than Meteorite...

EYYYYYY
This looks very interesting. I’m going to have to take a look!
It is so awesome to actually see this here. It's a lovely, lovely story!
I'm always a bit wary of self-insert stories but this was very entertaining to read. Bit of a unique take on the concept. Nicely done!
Wow! How nice you published the whole story at once.

EYYY ^^
9173342
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
9173387
Thanks Stretch!
9173453
I totally understand the wariness, heh. But I'm glad you liked it! It took me (and my friends) a while to convince myself it was worth sharing.
9173719
Yup! All the agonising over whether or not I could finish the story was done in private.
This is super cute. I liked it a lot. Majin recommended it to me and for once his awful taste wasn't so awful. It gave me this really early-fandom feel, and that's not a bad thing. Hope to see more from you.
Thanks for writing it and I hope this story gets some good coverage.
This was a mighty interesting story, and quite cute too. I admit I wasn't sure about the Meta-fictional opening, nor how that would tie in with the romance part, but you managed to tie everything up neatly.
Thank you for the story, and I hope we're gonna see more of you.
Majin sent me here. This may be the most meta story I've ever read, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
Excellent for a first (published) story. If we're lucky, we'll see more great work from you.
To be honest, I always feel guilty whenever I don't finish a story -- I don't want to be one of those fanfic writers -- which is why I decided earlier this year to finish a story I started in 2015 but stopped.
In my original works that have nothing to do with MLP, one of my characters is aware of me and hates me for not spending enough time writing or drawing her.
Your story made me cry. I love it.

I'll admit, I've always enjoyed testing the boundaries of meta...ness. Playing around with the self-insert meta sounded appealing when I first thought about it... but I lost steam with that story after a few chapters. But I guess it was all just building up to the meta of this story, heh!

Thank you all!
And I hope I'll be able to put out some more good stories for everyone to read!
9175361
Awwww~ I honestly was not expecting a response like that. I'm touched.
9175519 - Well, it's true. Watching Meteorite deal with her unrequited love, her anxiety, the depression, her loneliness, I made a connection with her right then, and when it all worked out, I felt such relief for her. You did a wonderful job.
9175559
...Thank you. It means a lot to me to hear that, it really does.
So let me get this straight.
You started this before you were even on Fimfiction? You started a story, but then got stuck, you could've just left it, you did leave it, but you came back and thought "Oh yeah that, I should do that."
You didn't let it sit as some flight of fancy, some half baked attempt that would arrive only to be forever labeled Incomplete. You finished it, all of it, then you posted in it's completion and it was featured within days.
Inspirational.
This inspired me to finally start writing again after starting a story several years ago. It probably won't be that same story, but I'm going to start something and not let myself back out because of worries that I'll mess it up now, thanks to you.
Haven't read this chapter yet, but it's nearly 3am here so I should be getting to sleep. Your fic actually gave me an idea on how to introduce my OC to the Brony Community at large. Not Arcane or any of the others that aren't show cannon that I've put in here. MY OC. Knight Shadow. Prince of the Shadow Clan, infatuated goof ball of a wolf when he's around Twilight Sparkle.
9176143
The original story is still unfinished. I just used that story's unfinished status to build the beginnings of this story. I do still think about that first story however. One way or another, I'll need to address it eventually, if just for personal closure.
Weeelll... not quite.
9176268
That's... wow. I'm so glad to hear you've been inspired like that! Go for it! I believe in you.
Wow this looks so similar with my OC!It seems that the color I've chosen is still too common for OCs......
*looking at my story left unfinished one and a half years ago*
...
Well. It's not dead!
But seriously, this was weapons grade cute and a beautiful take on the self insert genre. Does the story in question actually exist? Even though the 'Waking up on Sweet Apple Acres as a pony and romancing one of the Mane Six' has been done to death by now, it'd be fun to compare the two.
Anyway, thanks for this and have a green thumb.
9176467
You made something out of what you already considered a lost cause, call it whatever you like, it's still pretty friggen cool.
Actually kinda makes me want to do a self-insert fic of my own where my OCs (all four of them) interact with one another and myself. Sort of like... they know they're all the same "person", being that they're all parts of me, but they're all also their own "person". I just don't know how they'd interact with each other.
Knight Shadow is a wolf prince from the long forgotten Shadow Clan, their home in Hollow Shades needing to be abandoned because of the Pony of Shadows. He's got wings and his right foreleg is encased in a golden gauntlet he "acquired" from Canterlot that he can't take off and it's slowly growing, encasing his entire body as it replaces his magic with its own.
Arcane Sigil is the newest OC. A unicorn stallion who barely skirts the edge of not being a "red and black" OC because he's got white and blue in his mane and tail as well. His special talent is making magical sigils he can place on objects to strengthen them, weaken them, or turn them into weapons or traps. He can go into "Magic Overdrive", which alters his cutiemark somewhat, as well as gives him magic rivaling Twilight when she had the magic of all four Alicorns, at a cost. He's so exhausted after Magic Overdrive he can't move.
Shadow, just Shadow, is litterally that. He's a Shadow. Twilight's Shadow. Not to say he's her darkness, but he's almost every dark thought she's ever had given form. He's obsessed with Twilight because he doesn't exactly know why she created him, or how, but he does want to get something out of her. He just doesn't know what yet.
And my latest, just before Arcane, is South Wind, a Kirin. Before the Kirin became a thing in MLP lore, she was a pony kidnapped at birth by a dragon, who was then put through a magical... thing... to turn into a dragon-pony, or a Kirin. One of the only Kirin (until they were introduced in the actual show), she travels to Ponyville seeking her real parents, her pony parents. I haven't decided if she should be Twilight's long lost sister or related in some way to Pinkie or one of the others, but it's getting there.
9176617
Ha, yes, I've noticed that myself over the years. I've admittedly bristled up slightly every time I see any other pony that's vaguely purple and red. But really, it shouldn't matter; it's part of who they are, just like it's part of who Meteorite is, so I've been learning to just accept it's just a common colour combo. In any case, I think your OC looks fine as she is.
9176735
The story does exist, six or seven chapters of it here on my hard drive! Although it's a completely different story to the one posted here. That story was going to be more about Meteorite trying to figure out just what the heck my intentions as an author was, and possibly trying to stop it because surely I was up to no good. At least, that's how it started. I think I kinda lost focus developing the rest of the plot in my head. Probably why I stopped.
But in any case, romancing Rarity was definitely not going to happen in that story. This story here was just something silly I started writing, that ultimately turned into something serious, heh.
9176779
A very good point! Thank you.
As a general rule, I don't read:
1) Self-insert.
2) Human in Equestria.
3) Breaking the fourth wall.
Needless to say, I broke all three reading this story - and I'm happy I did. It was a very good read, balancing drama and romance with well-timed comic relief. And it's nice that unlike some authors - excuse me as I look in a mirror- you had the entire story written before you started publishing. I hope we'll be
seeingreading more of your work in the future.Dreadnought

Thank you for the very kind words! I'm happy you stuck with it and liked it. I have to admit, I was somewhat fearful people would be put off initially, for the same reasons you listed, but the responses so far have all been lovely.
A beautiful and wonderfully bizarre work of romantic metafiction. Definitely some of the best canon x self-insert I've ever read... though the third-person omniscience did feel like authorial cheating at times.
In all seriousness, thank you for it.
Huh. I thought that was gonna be a way more depressing.
Definitely a creative idea, and I like how it played out. If I had to complain about anything, it'd be the fact that we don't really get to know Meteorite that well. If she was basically an offshoot of a younger Alexandra, how did they diverge in personalities over the years? Did she go through a sort of existential crisis when she realized she was a self-insert? Exactly how did she adjust to becoming a different species? I feel like, if you took the time to address some of these things, the story would've been even stronger.
9203913
Yeah, I definitely see your point there; it's one of the regrets I have of not finishing the original story, as it would've touched upon a lot of what you mentioned. I'm... not quite sure how I could've brought it up in this story without it feeling forced, though.
Oh well. It's not like I'm done writing about Meteorite anyway; next time I'll see if I can go more into detail about those unseen years.

This was a spectacular read, I'm glad Admiral Biscuit recommended it to me. Bravo, and I eagerly await to see what else you can do.
Well this is interesting so far.
Rather sad it has so frw comments though.
So meta, it hurts.
I need more Flo.
This story has no right to work as well as it does.
You need to write more stories with Pinkie and Trixie, because you write both of them fantastically. :D
I feel I should be somewhat offended by the structure of this chapter. >:V
This gives me life.
Suck it up, Spike, you shitlord. >:V
I hope there are more stories in you, because I'd like to see them. :D
9353072
Whew, okay! Where to start?
Yes, we all do! It pains me to remember that my original plan for the unfinished story was to write Flo and the other farmhooves out halfway through. I'm... still not sure why I thought that was a good idea to begin with.
Hee, sorry.
Thank you! Pinkie is my second favourite, after Rarity of course, but writing Pinkie has always seemed to come easily to me, so I cherish any moment I get to write her.
And the same goes for Trixie, though I've haven't really practiced writing her until of late. But yes, writing her in all her greatness and powerfulness when I can is so much fun.
I hope so too!
Only time will tell, I suppose, heh.
Well, that's kind of an interesting premise. This is clearly a lot more on-the-nose than self-insert parodies usually are so far, heh.
So if Meteorite is Alexandria's self-insert OC, and Meteorite is talking back to Alexandria, does that mean Alexandria has a degree of self-loathing about her own timidness
?
I'm trying to figure out if this whole chapter is an allegory for organic writing, ala when you write a chapter and the characters take you in a place different than what you had planned, or if this is just surface level the characters are taking over Alexandra's story
Alexandra slowly turned around, a sad smile on her face.
"I can't force you to love someone."
Sure you can! Authors make characters do it all the time! Unless of course, you mean the particular of writing a fanfiction, and putting a canonical character and an OC together, which would be pitting your creation against the original creator's vision. But I guess at least as far as this story goes so far, Rarity is still a living, breathing being with her own thoughts. Or perhaps it's Alexandra finding fault with her own talent as a writer and not feeling able to write a convincing enough romance.
It occurs to me that going off of previous chapters, Meteorite is basically a snapshot of Alexandra from a certain point in her life. Alexandra may have liked Rarity, but that like has probably faded out. Meteorite, on the other hoof, still crushes hard every day on Rarity because she can never really progress as a character.
Flo is a silly pony. Feels like the kind of character put in there as comic relief to move things along, even, and be the silly sidekick to the main character, or in this case the self-insert OC
Considering how hard Meteorite is crushing on Rarity, Rarity must understand just how much it really does mean to her. It's so beautiful
Ha! Rarity trying to prove she's not being controlled by her creator by acting as out-of-character as she possibly can. Little does she know that there are entire stories where that's all the author does
Meteorite's become her own
personpony over time since she's split off from Alexandra. Or at least, as much of a pony as the author can let her be. It's a good thing Rarity isn't a troll and didn't ask Meteorite about her life before she came to Ponyville, because anything Meteorite came up with would just have to be a lieMeteorite outed her knowing the future (or at least, the first two seasons anyways) with Trixie
To be honest, when we got to Fluttershy, I was thinking, 'Oh hey wouldn't it be crazy if Meteorite knew all of Rarity's friends but had avoided Rarity because she had a crush on Rares?' And then we went to Rainbow Dash, then to Pinkie, and would have gotten to Twilight if she wasn't out of town
