I always wanted to see one of them body switching fanfic s!! :ajsmug::pinkiehappy:

There is an * after the word hoofs once, but no footnote.
Why oh why:raritydespair:

Also this looks interesting, and apparently I am melodramatic when I am tired.

1854738 Oh wow, I totally forgot about that! Check it now!

I like what you did with the whole measurement system. Before Hearth's Warming Eve aired I did something similar.

Neat and funny chapter. I'll wait for more my good fellow. :pinkiehappy:

1913519 Now I know why authors do what they do. It's comments like THESE.
It's like shooting praise and admiration straight into your arm.

Incidentally, what Pinkie does isn't skipping, per se. It's a particular style of movement called pronking. Only four-legged creatures pronk, like Pinkie!

Out of the frying pan and into the volcano. :pinkiecrazy:

Oh ho ho ho, Applejack, you are sneaky!

Ha, tail hug. You are a great writer good sir.:moustache:

I especially like how you wrote Discord. Too bad its over...:fluttershysad:

Anyway, again, I liked it. Have a good day.

2238351 You may or may not be excited to find out that I may or may not write what is colloquially known as a 'sequel' to this story. And if I do write this hypothetical story, it may or may not have even more Discord.

Problems with this chapter:

1) You had AJ not have her drawl at the beginning, then gain it later. Not only does it not make sense for her to gain it back, it makes less sense to lose it in the first place. An accent is not something that comes from your vocal chords, it comes from your mind, from listening to people as you grow up. No matter what body AJ was in, she would always speak the same.

2) Twilight just up and ignoring her. Yes, it would be safe to assume it's a prank. Until Pinkie Pie insists. We've had what, two or three episodes about listening to your friends and not ignoring their concerns? Pinkie Pie always owns up to her pranks the moment she's called out on them or they're pulled off. The very fact that she insisted after Twilight called her out would tell Twilight something is seriously wrong.

She looked up and saw Applejack and Pinkie standing at the fence gate, a relived expression on her face.

Twilight.

You're constantly referencing 'X in Y's body'. We get it, they switched bodies. Stop constantly saying it, we're not stupid. It's useless padding. Refer to them as whatever mind is which and leave it at that.

I'm out. The characters are slowly getting more and more OoC, you're constantly making the same 'joke' over and over when it wasn't funny the first time, a huge complication that could ruin AJ and Pinkies lives happens and they don't even get irritated at Apple Bloom (one of my biggest pet peeves from the show) and Twilight apparently knows exactly what's going on when an old mare who's entire life and special talent is these sort of things doesn't know at all.

2241345 Your first comment was much appreciated criticism. Although AJ didn't lose her accent. I just detest the over usage of her drawl and decided to tone it back. Second, Twilight clearly stated she had unjustly snapped and came to apologize. Your second comment was a rather blunt OPINION. Here's a little something to help you out, in case you're not familiar with the termHere you go.
And now, the third comment. My, aren't you thorough? I'm so happy to receive pointers and opinion (there's that tricky word again) from such a talented author such as yourself. Maybe I didn't specify, but Iridescence is not old, she is simply white and has a shaking problem. Sorry for the confusion. And why does Twilight know so much about the totem and not Iridescence? She was probably not aware it was even in her shop, since Discord put it there, and she still gave a helpful bit of information despite this. And why should Twilight, who has dedicated her life to absorbing dubious amounts of research about magic and magical artifacts know anything about such an item? After all, she ONLY has a wide array of knowledge on magical items piled shelf upon shelf around her at every turn to consult.
But be not deceived, my friend. I am not mad at you. In fact, I forgive you for being terribly blunt and unnecessarily pissy with me.
