Hello. I used to be the frontman of a small emerging band called ‘Northern Chalet.’ I also used to be a number cruncher in this generic tech firm. Nowadays, however, I’m busying myself with figuring out why in the blazing layers of hell I’ve been transposed into the body of a small equine creature. Because these things happen, apparently.
I thought to be alone suffering from this predicament, but I soon found out that five other blokes – humans just like yours truly – had also been pooled into this insane experiment. And so, I found myself buddied with a timid 9 year old with trust issues, an electrical engineer careerist erring on workaholism, a family man from the outback who does nothing but yap about his eighteen-wheeler, an alcoholic with a severe case of pyrophobia, and a French chain-smoking teen living in poverty. Not that I have issues of my own, nope. I’m a perfectly balanced individual, see.
Crazy that in a world populated with ponies, the people I have the most trouble coping with are none other than my fellow misguided humans. Frustrating little things, the lot of them. Because boy, do we not get along. And yet, the ponies we’re possessing, well, they used to be the bestest of friends. So how come they made it work but we can’t?
W story
I like this. More please!
Now this seems like a unique story to read. Six humans of different backgrounds and problems ending up in Equestria.
Very poetic actually, and very long. I look forward to more.
Haven't read but judging from the cover art Rainbow Chud looks great.
Well this is interesting.
I didn't find particularly more errors than I'd expect to find in an average fanfic, and I couldn't tell at all English is not your first langauge.
This was really good. I can't wait to see how this goes!
I've had a story in the works with an idea similar to this for a while, but I guess I was too slow
Loving the story so far! Looking forward to future chapters!
I have to say, I thought both Spike and "Twilight" were being completely moronic, but then again, considering that we don't seem to be past Season 3, I can give Spike leeway for not knowing about humans. As for "Twilight", if he's never heard of the show, then I suppose it makes sense that he has no idea what kind of an acid trip world this is.
Also, I'm not sure how long his arrogance can keep up with his nervous system begging for death or any emergency ushering him to move faster. You can't walk on those hind legs forever!

Morons they may be, but lovable morons they also are!
Considering I already have eight pre-written chapters, I oughta say: Worry not! The walking situation is sorted next chapter. It would be pure torture to keep his pace (and the story's) as such. In fact, he already walked on all fours in this very chapter when he went to the door, so there's some progress, at least. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
I hope at least some of the humans like their changes. Adds some verity from the bog standard "I'm not human so its bad. Flight? Literal magic? Super strength and endurance? No longer having nuclear annihilation hanging over My head? screw that give Me My hand back!"
this trope wouldn't be so bad. If there was more verity. Humans that like the change and do all in their power to stay that way, humans that go through the change on propose, humans that don't like the change to start but grow to like it, humans that are ambivalent or indifferent to the change.
Sorry for the rant. In other news. Good job on this chapter, I eagerly await for the next one.
P.S spell check is a pain in the butt. Not giving you the word your looking for, when you don't know how to spell it
Yay, he's starting to get it!
Okay, now he's just being willfully ignorant. Not only has other people have been walking around. Pull upon quote naked but he has been told his idea of clothes is weird. Plus he knows he's a pony which don't wear clothes in the human universe. So he's this being stupid at this point.

Could be that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, could be that he's stubbornly reluctant. Whatever the case, think of all the Funny Moments™ it could bring!
Him being dense isn't that bad either, because it also means he has the opportunity to grow out of it (which he somewhat did in this chapter, after noticing that everyone wasn't clothed). Character growth and shtuff.

Good point. But I can't believe he's stupid or at least that dumb. He has sewn in his mind. He has a high level intelligence even though like Twilight it's running away with him. He basically created a whole system of government based on the ass tattoos. That is extremely wrong but hilarious.
11690464
Yes hahaha exactly! He's basically putting a stick in his own bicycle wheel with his many blatantly wrong supositions. Always assuming the worst like the panicked fatalist he his. Story wouldn't be as funny if he was poised and collected, methinks.
Eh, he'll come around in due time. It's bound to happen.
Gosh, Amy is just precious.
Loving the story! Keep it up!
How did this guy survive 25 years? I understand this has a unique situation, but he is the kind of guy you know that would freak out if there's a new barista at his favorite coffee place. The kind of guy who was Miley inconvenience and never went back to that place ever again. I could not live in this person's mind. I would drive myself up the wall.

Heh, the same way Peter Griffin made it to adulthood: Rule of funny and a pinch of cartoon physics. That lovable (hateable?) oaf sure has a mind of his own.
I miss my old barista. :C

He is a character and I do like him. But his survival skills are very close to zero. Don't worry, she's probably living a happy life. And there's always a new barista.
Well! Nice to see a different point of view, with different priorities in life! It's nice to know that everyone will have different personalities and views on the situation.
This is the best landing I've ever seen.
Hey.
Most replaced (other entity's, usually a human taking over a already existing character) story's usually just have one of the six replaced, so it nice to see a fic that does multiples.
This fic was releasing chapters somewhat regularly then it stopped. Are you willing to give us percentage of the next Chapter's completion
More, I need more!!!
