Sunset just wanted to give her friends an Equestrian experience without any magical mishaps, threats to life and limb, or tears in reality.
In hindsight, she really should have known better.

The horse was indeed exquisite.
Surprisingly a very good story but anyone who finds this steel yourselves.
The cover looks like something from Neon Genesis Evangelion
Oooooooh, this can only end one way
Dunno what I was expecting, but it wasn't this.
Oh dear.
I'm beginning to see why you chose the Evangelion pic...

I actually thought this was an NGE crossover in disguise at first. I got bamboozled!
(Though there being references isn't out of the question...)

If you're saying this at chapter 3, well... Have fun!
Dun dun DUN!
(I LOVE that sketch at the end
)
Wally?!
Don't think you're gonna need that journal, Sunset
....well, butts.
.....oooooooooooooooooooooooooookay
Don't remember that happening in Rainbow Rocks....
Is this another Evangelion reference? I feel like something timey-wimey just happened o.O
Of course everyone loves Wallflower; how can you not?
Extensive switcheroo of pony parts? I'm sure this will stay completely consistent all the way through the fic
yeah sure I'll incorporate that into my belief system
It might not be a fun adventure for them, but it’ll definitely be fun for us.
Ok that was impressively consistent. There weren't even any time elemental casualties! Except Celestia I guess but she came back for the end
Kudos to everypony involved, this was a great read
Spike and un-misplaced Fluttershy in the sketch made my day more than anything. Spike’s face is pure gold.
I can't believe you took my funny body part swapping idea and made it existential.
Thank you to all the following authors for making something so special out of my wildly-off-topic side chapter!
Well done to all who worked on this! <3
Love the cover, just finished watching whole of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
.... What does this have to do with Poppy Z. Brite, though?
Edit: Ok, I found the wiki page for the game, now things make marginally more sense.
Luna doesn't have her wings right now, Sunset does.

Don't expect consistency

and by review I mean 'a smol'
This got too hard to follow after the draconequus face-off. Who even were those ponies? OCs i imagine.
I just skimmed the rest and it doesnt get interesting again :/
I’m sure that this will not come up again.
Fun fact: “Let’s get horsed!” was an early contender for the title of this monstrosity.
Ah yes, an ultra complex element has just been introduced. It will remain constant for the entire story 100%.
Everyhumanpony was also an early title idea.
Somehow Discord still reading phone books makes complete sense to me.
According to Pseudobob this chapter was his attempt to prevent Discord. Now given the ways that these types of stories work, it wasn’t a guarantee nothing would happen and well—
I learned literally this morning that this is not the phrase and I even used it wrong. Oops.
Do not know what I was going for here.
I don’t know exactly what I wanted to do with this chapter as I didn’t really know what to write in the first place. So hey, I wrote another filler chapter again! I’m too good at this stuff.
Me trying to write a lighthearted comedy:
The exquisite corpse:
Me too, human!RD
And thank you for including SilverNeedle’s notes, they are essential to the understanding of this story.
Another contender for the title.
And Discord comes back into the story! For better or worse.
According to Eileen during the live reading, this was simply a chapter to introduce a new wrinkle into the story, because they didn’t know what do do with the prior chapter and the next author could read it. But after this, things get really insane really quickly, because that’s just how it goes.
I feel like this caused a cascade.
Gonna be honest, i lost my interest in the last chapter and my interest to keep reading died this chapter about half to most of the way in
Okay this line goes unreasonably hard.
And this plot point was immediately forgotten about.
The power of yuri!
Pretty sure this is the first time these words have been put together.
And once again, FillyFoolish, during the live reading, mentioned she really didn’t know what to do so she just fell on her ol’ reliable and wrote lesbians. Once again, this had consequences for the rest of the story.
Random meta-narrative as well because that’s how it goes.
But, in regards to the horror tag, this chapter and the subsequent ones were largely why I suggested putting it on there, because the implications as existential as hell coming soon. Also, a story marked with Comedy, Romance, and Horror has a powerful vibe to it.
But as FOME did say while we finished up this story, “I mean the entire universe did almost collapse… but maybe that’s more of a Drama?”
Poor Wallflower.
Now remember, Sleepless had the task of making the last two chapters fit together into some coherent sense. So, this what came out of it. It links the two together in a relatively simple way, Wallflower is a universal constant and the universe would collapse without her. It’s wild, but it does make sense, and creates a setup for the next chapter.
So shoutouts to Sleepless for making this thing work somewhat.
This line was determined to be so badass it was also in contention for a title on that alone.
Also oops Wallflower is a goddess now.
And while all the authors did a great job at making something coherent (vaguely), this is one of the best chapters. It feels odd to say that considering I’m like the behind-the-scenes mouthpiece here (at least when it came to discussions during the live reading), but the sheer existentialism of loving everyone and no one at once makes for a wildly engaging story.
We also joked about submitting this to May Pairings because it ships Wallflower with literally every creature to ever exist. But I’m not entirely sure whether an exquisite corpse is a good submission.
Of course she has green hair and pronouns.
I love the detail of Sci-Twi creating a polycule schedule.
I love how I’ve been discussing the titles and FOME already put them all out in the A/N. Oh well, I guess I probably should’ve read it before leaving comments.
The closest to a different title was I Went Through a Portal and Accidentally Became the Center of the Multiverse, but it was deemed too spoilery.
Anyways good job everyone who wrote for this, I eagerly await the next one.
