"To be continued?"
ReplyDeleteYes please!
I really enjoyed this story; just a great, fun read. I know some people aren't to happy about the meme references you put in, but, I think you did a fairly good job in putting them in without tearing one out of the story. The Double Rainboom might of pushed it, but, after the first or second mention, it read just fine. Overall I just loved this fic.
I really do hope you do a sequel (I'm sure it is safe to assume you are with that teaser you had). The ending itself was great, but, I like this universe you've made. Another story set in it would be great!
CONFOUND THESE AUTHORS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd so easily one of the top five FiMfics ends.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
But lo, there's the beginning of a sequal. And it just feels so....exactly how I can see it go. To be continued? It damn well better be.
Ooooh, a sequel? Innnteresting.
ReplyDeleteI am both happy and sad that this story is over. Even though I was hoping the Mane 6 and Mane Male 6 would be reunited, I think it's better that they didn't at the end, at least it gives them the hope they will see them again. But the preview for the sequel...I can't wait!! I hope this means we get to see the Great and Power Presto, and hopefully Prince Artemis! Gosh, Princess Artemis and Princess Luna in the same room would be so cute! Now that Applebuck is in the more femme dimension, that just means the Mane Male 6 will have to go, if only to find him and bring him back home, though I think they might make some stops along the way. I cannot wait for the sequel!
ReplyDeleteNO! BAD Conner! It the GREAT and POWERFUL TREVOR! T-R-E-V-O-R!!!! PRESTO?! I mean, COME ON! EVERYPONY KNOWS that Trixie's Colt Version is TREVOR! You know, MAGICAL Trevor?! COME ON!!!
ReplyDelete(But Magical Trevor would LOVE a sequal! 8D *Rarity voiceover sequence GO!* Please? Please?! PLEASEPLEASEPLEEEEAAAAAAASE!!!!!))
(... And one just loves to whine and stuff. One HOPED that you would use the sona that one worked so hard on making, but one understands your decision... (Kinda. Not really, but at the same time, I do? You know what I mean. (I hope)))
This has been my favorite story. Bravo. I look forward to your next work.
ReplyDeleteOh my Celestia...Sequel Hook!
ReplyDelete"To be continued?"
ReplyDeleteYes please! Do want!
"Someday, Twilight Sparkle. Someday."
ReplyDeleteRead: Sequel.
@The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor
ReplyDeleteBecause of you it would have been awesome if he did but Preston makes more sense.
I held off on reading this fic until it was finished, and I am so glad I did. Reading it all in one sitting was fantastic, and you Connor, truly know how to write a great story.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard about this, my first thought was "Inter-dimensional incest OH GOD WHY!?", but you've managed to make a funny, in character, and even heartwarming tale, even with the more squicky bits and occasional meme.
If that last little bit really is a sequel hook, my answer is an emphatic YES PLEASE! Keep up the awesome work!
EXTRA STORY LINK AT THE BOTTOM!!!
ReplyDeleteWHISPER OF WIND!!!
Brilliant ending and nice surprise at the end.
ReplyDeleteNeed more I really hope you continue this storyline or at least id love to see others take up side stories I love the male characters.
Celestia wiggling her flanks left me with the queen mother of all wingboners.
ReplyDeletethis is possibly the best fic on this site. EVERYONE needs to read this!
ReplyDeleteTo take a page from Flutterrage: YOU WILL CONTINUE THAT!
ReplyDeleteI mean... if you don't mind that is... sorry...
sequel, NAO
ReplyDelete*AHEM*
ReplyDeleteHey, Sethisto, I hope you noticed the small link towards the end, leading to the story "Whisper in the Wind". Follow up sensors at full charge!
Whisper in the Wind sounds promising?
ReplyDeleteOh boy, a teaser for a follow up to this? Darn it to hell. D:
ReplyDeleteNow I have to wait for a sequel to this great story!
@Zackery
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that by now, 20 emailed him about the next story.
ON topic:
Plz continue with the new story, ah can only imagine about what applebuck and the cmc will do! DX
Did somebody say sequel?
ReplyDeleteI sure did :D
Ha, I knew that somehow Celestia and Solaris would end up talking. Please continue the story of Applebuck in another dimension.
ReplyDeleteI liked the whole "secret chapter" thing (if you can call it that :P
ReplyDeleteVery nice overall, looking forward to a sequel. Loved the whole celly/solaris thing at the end

ReplyDeleteSPOILER WARNING!!!
ReplyDeleteCross-posted from Fanfiction.net.
"The spell is a ritual-based one." she explained, head craned up to look at the cloud above her. "And that's one of items required, if we're going to pull it off successfully."
-Don't know if I like the idea of ritual magic. Seems to go against what Twilight said about the nature of Magic in "Bridle Gossip".
Itallion
-Despite only being one letter off, this pun somehow feels awkward to me.
carrot-dog stands
-carrot-dogs? Brilliant! (although hotdogs, probably veggie-dogs, are TECHNICALLY canonical due to "Fall Weather Friends")
found the spell, and began reciting from it.
-Verbal components too? The material ones could be useful plot elements for making the return trip into a fetch-quest somehow, but the verbal ones don't add anything you couldn't get from having Twilight simply techno-babble (mageo-babble?) about the importance of each item as she places it.
"Now, everypony huddle around the vase. And just let me do the work." There was a confident smile.
-Oh... maybe the spell was just written in a poetic way, and the words had no power.
40.1 Kiimehertz
-Eh... this BARELY makes sense. I am tempted to suggest messing around with the "kilo" rather than the "hertz", but then you would have to change the work "frequency" too probably, and it would just be a mess.
ritual machina
-Never heard such a phrase before, but I think I like it. Implies the scientific bent to Equestrian magic that Twilight Sparkle evokes (despite said magic having a relation to the very abstract an intangible quality of "friendship"... ah well, no worse than quantum physics, right?)
Nann-ga
-Good lexicon-building.
The science-fiction ones, or those icky schoolfilly ones?"
"Uhm... both?"
-Hard to imagine Fluttershy reading something like... drat, I don't know many sci-fi manga, so I am going to have to fall back on anime. Something like Battletech, Akira (I think this is a manga too), Ghost in the Shell, or Iria.
"You mentioned other KINDS of travel. You're talking something like along the lines of... time-travel, aren't you?"
-Nice red-herring... or rather a way of making Twilight not appear to be infallible since most people will have read a basic description of the story before they read the story itself.
A silence descended upon them so quickly, it made the butter-pony go 'eep!' in surprise.
-"butter-pony"? I suppose saying that instead of "butter-colored pony" could be an Equestrian way of speaking, which is appropriate even in narration to draw the reader in more. Also, the idea of a sudden silence causing Fluttershy to make a noise results in interesting phraseology.
All six mares ponied up and began their trek into town,
-Don't know what "ponied up" means in this context. I only know it as paying for something (or maybe anteing in poker, which is sorta the same thing).
Within a few minutes time, any sign that they had been there, was gone with them.
ReplyDelete-Odd thing to point out to the reader... might add a bit of spookiness, but there are probably better ways of doing that. Unless you are building towards the multiverse trying to erase them from existence because they "don't belong there", which would be rather literately unusual.
Nopony saw the unicorn stallion who advanced on the hill from the other direction, his horn aglow as he checked the site for signs of the flash he had seen minutes earlier.
-Ah, should have kept reading. This explains it.
"Holy horseapples!" he exclaimed, catching the leftover energy residue. "What in Solaris's kingdom has the power for THAT kinda magic?"
-Well, unless he is Twilight's counterpart, he should know of THREE beings with that much magical power... or at least male!Twilight himself, if you have Twilgiht being generally more powerful than Luna and Celestia (but not NMM).
"This pole has a patina on it, the same as the current state of wear back home, if we're not already there. If this were the past, this would have been new paint, not a bit of erosion. And if this were the future, there would most definitely be rust building around the base and lantern itself."
-I guess Rarity uses enough precious metals such in her designs to know about corrosion rates, and DOES have an eye for detail... still seems like unexpected character development.
"Look!" she exclaimed, as loudly as she was oft to do.
-In other words very quietly, or one of her very rare moments where she is actually loud?
"Hey Babar, DID I ever tell you about the time I participated in the Clover Derby last year? I swore I saw another stallion there who looked JUST like me, save he was an earth-pony!"
-Recolor etc lampshade hanging... nice!
"Y'know... they DID kinda. Can't put my finger on why, but they did remind me of them..."
"... hon, don't you mean 'hoof?'"
-"Skinny" Lyra... I mean Harpsy! Also, "hon" sounds out of place to me.
"Th-then... would that make the Princess, a Prince?"
-Shouldn't that technically be "PrincessES" and "PrinceS"? Don't know if the characters ever caught up their vocabulary on the show. Or maybe Luna will canonically turn out to be/have been on a very brief probationary/retraining period before actually resuming her station, so they technically still only have a monarch instead of two douarchs(or whatever the term would be)?
The student's face turned a bright shade of crimson at the thought.
-Why would she be embarrassed by that? Don't tell me she had a sudden flash of about a decade of filios suddenly expanding itself too also include eros?
"An I also dun trust mahself, OR Dash, t'go an start flappin' our mouths."
-Sure you don't mean "to NOT go an start flappin' our mouths."? Or did she mean to talk at all, rather than talking about talking too much and blurting out something they shouldn't?
Part 2:
ReplyDelete"I thought there was supposed to be a yell, followed by a song."
-Well, you know how to write for Pinkie Pie...
But her heart stood firm.
-If hter heart is as Honest as the rest of her, then she should listen to it. Not to mention I don't see how looking on her as family could actually HURT anything too bad, as long as she doesn't balk at leaving.
"This used to be a rabbit warren, I can tell."
They dug it big enough for ponies to stand up in? Or the tunnels somehow collapsed together like that? Or did they happen across either the final warren, or the warren with the farmer from Watership Down? I guess Equestrian rabbits are smart enough to make cathedral vaults just for artistic reasons, if Angel is any indication.
-Hmmm so the problem with seeing the parallels of relatives as relatives is a desire to over-socialize?
I;m so sad its over... but oh god that sequel drop! I am happiest thing in the world right now! This is glorious! THank you Conner, for this fantastic fic, no doubt tied with dangerous business as the best fic on the site! (haven't read past sins yet, I'll get to it later...) The first chapter of Cross and arrow (care to explain the title?) was the first pony fic I ever read, and all this time later, to see it end, god above I just can't describe how awesome it was...
ReplyDeleteAnd now! A whisper on the Wind! hell yeah!
I had so much fun reading this story. There were some small parts that could have been different in my opinion, like the feelings of the two Rainbows for each other but in the end it wasn't really important.
ReplyDeleteAnyway it was definitely one of the best storys I've ever read if not really the best :-)
I'm not sure if I'm going to like the continuation when there is too much CMC. I'm going to read it anyway, even if it is not as good as On A Cross and Arrow.
The ending: "It's exactly what I asked for!"
ReplyDeleteThumbs up, 100 points, gg plzre kthx cya. Now off to write my own stuff :3
Moar Celly / Solly interaction in the sequel!
ReplyDeleteShake dat flank! I'm making the call that all Alicorn reproduction is inter dimensional! New Universe pops up... new Alicorns to rule it. The parents decide what type of universe and how many alicorns are to rule it, and then guide them till they can run things on their own! Maybe Celly's got the universe creation urge again!
That's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it!
Hmm... or even new worlds within the same universe. There can certainly be more than one world of ponies per universe. Each new world clearly makes a single universe at least 20% cooler!
ReplyDeleteME WANT SEQUEL!
ReplyDeleteOh, you tease, with that link at the very end. "Presto" is a great name for the doppleganger.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Well-thought and fun. Funny, too. This is the stuff that makes the fandom so freaking awesome. Six stars -and a half!
Bottom of chapter 11 = fuckyea.jpg
ReplyDeletein the new part a few empty pages down there's a link to the sequal
ReplyDeleteFuck. Yes.
ReplyDelete@Draco Dei The magical equivalent of technobabble is thaumobabble.
ReplyDeleteEaster Egg Secret Sequel Story?
ReplyDelete...
Le read
TO BE CONTINUED?!
F*CK YOU CONNER COGWORK
...
Well no, jk.
Why are you torturing me with these neverending awesome stories?!
...and so ends(for now, at least) one of the very best stories I've been following on this site.
ReplyDeleteI has no words, so instead I'm just going to go draw Celestia + Solaris. You know, because I can.
*sheepish grin*
Dude, i almost missed the "Easter egg". Please, don't let that "?" as it is, i want it to be a "!".
ReplyDeleteAnyways, i enjoyed the whole story. It made me laugh many times.
@FoxOfWar you missed something
ReplyDeleteSequel story...
ReplyDeleteFACKING YES!!
Can I just say wow? I followed this story since the beginning, and I never regretted a second of it. I found myself looking forward to each of the chapters being posted, and finally reading your last chapter, I'm feeling a tad melancholy that it's finally over. It was a privilege reading your stories, and if you ever need an editor, reply to this with your email and I'll shoot you one.
ReplyDeleteHappy writing!
~Fifth Alicorn.
P.S. You deserve every single star of the 5-star writing that I'm about to give you.

ReplyDeleteThis has been one of my favorite fanfics! I can't wait for the sequel. :fluttershyyay:
ReplyDeleteCelestiaxSolaris = OTP
ReplyDeleteRead chapter 3. Tired right now. Don't have much to say. Will add further reviews when and if I the come to me.
ReplyDeleteTo be continued, I hope?
ReplyDeletePLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA AND SOLARIS, MOAR!
ReplyDeleteI think the secret epilogue can be both a good ending as well, in a sort of "here we go again!" kind of way :p
ReplyDeleteDamn you, now I want a zucchini blossom pizza.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'd think Twi could easily modify the spell to push through the occasional packet of letters...
Whisper of Wind brings up something I was thinking about the other day. The Apple family would actually be really confusing in Rule 63, because rather than swapping the name's gender, they'd have to end up trading names around! Like you already did with Red Gala. I mean, there's no "grampy smith" apple, he'd be named... I dunno, grandpa Greening, and Granny Smith would be some mare living in Coltorado or something.
@rainbowblitzer
ReplyDeleteKinda have to agree with Trevor -- it's both appropriate and memetastic! :D I mean, okay, so "Trevor" isn't exactly a ponyish name, but...
@Draco Dei
To take a page from the Dresden Files, magic is entirely based in the will, but using physical props helps you to focus.
For example, you have to contain the energy while you're casting the spell. That means you have to perfectly imagine a boundary -- like a simple circle -- while also perfectly imagining all the other parts of the spell. Doable, but difficult. Using a prop, like a magic circle, frees up that chunk of focus because your brain accepts its physical reality without question.
In this case, I think something similar applies. The props are a crutch developed by early magicians to assist the unicorn in visualizing the spell, and Twilight hasn't put in the research to develop a "hands free" version yet. It might be too complicated even for her, for that matter.
Great story, Connor! The wrap-up was so cute. I'm glad they didn't make it through all that unchanged. But, like all great art, it definitely left me wanting more. So I'm really glad there's a sequel in the works. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see if Solly or Celly is going to have to personally intervene to stop anything "untoward" from happening between Rarity and Elusive. I imagine Trollaris laying there with his chin on his hooves, interrupting them with, "Proceed..."
@richfiles
That makes enough sense to be very, very disturbing.
>Was about to complain that there isn't a sequel
ReplyDelete>Goes to link at the end
"Oh".
This needs a sequel so very hard! That story 2 teaser was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteExcellent end to story 1. Good work!
I am glad beyond measure that it looks like there's going to be a sequel. This was a fantastic story and I'm glad it's not totally ending.
ReplyDeleteSequel do want.
ReplyDeletei wish this got into the real show! would probably need at least 2 episodes to get most of it in.
ReplyDeleteSequel?
ReplyDeleteALL MY MONEY!
Oh man what have you done Conner? Really! WHY?! I loved this, both the ending and the little surprise were fantastic. Though, how can you even say "To be continued?" after all that? I really, really, REALLY hope that it is.
ReplyDeleteSo, I really enjoyed what you did with this story. I just don't know what it was about it. You don't know how many times I just logged on the Daily here, and went straight for that search bar and typed in "Cross and Arrow". I was always disappointed when there was lack of an update (not to mention a few chapters really killed me on waiting times) and the joy (as silly as that sounds) when a new chapter was written.
I'm pretty sure I stumbled across this fic when chapter 3 had just come out. Due to lack of internet for me at that time, I loaded all three chapters (along with a BUNCH of other fics) and saved them to read back in my dorm without internet. I was hooked instantly on this one, and I could not even tell you the names of the others. Seriously. I guess it could have even been an escape for me. Who knows. I'm probably going to re-read it all again right after this, because that's how I roll.
I was really saddened at the thought that this was coming to an end though. It's been a fun ride. I mean, of course, I wanted to see how it would finish. I like the way it finished, but (not talking about the surprise atm) I also felt a bit relieved to see the possibility of something more. A sequel to come, maybe, at a later date. Then I saw the surprise. Now I'm excited again, and like I said you went this far, PLEASE don't end it here like this. I beg you, ha.
Yeah I just wanted to thank you again, for everything. I enjoyed the ride, and hope it continues.
noticable blank pages are noticible...
ReplyDeleteA very nice read. But, at the risk of being repetitive, *please clean up the grammar*. Seriously. It's mostly small stuff, but that glaring "why do want" mess-up at the start of ch. 7 is still there.
ReplyDeleteHay! If you want/need a pre-reader to help with grammar, I'm more than wiling to lend a hoof! One has helped with several fanfics at this point, so one has experience! Please e-mail me if you're interested! ([email protected])
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only one who thinks Butterscotch would sound like Elijah Wood, right?
ReplyDelete@The File
ReplyDeletenope serrrie i totally agree
TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!! I WANT A BOOK!!!
ReplyDelete@ShadeTail
ReplyDeleteUm I don't know if you followed all the comments, mainly the ones with people complaining/praising the memes used. A lot were used throughout the whole story. I liked them, while others did not. That being said; with the many things like "Double rainboom, all the way across the sky! What does it mean?" etc., I don't know why this is confusing. You must have at least known "why do want" is another meme. Please tell me you've seen the pics with "want", "do not want", "not sure if want", it was just using that. If not you should internetz moar. I mean that one glaring "mistake" was the only thing you seem to have found. I just thought I'd help clear that up for you.

ReplyDelete@Flutterguy0831
ReplyDeleteAssuming you're not putting me on, why would you automatically assume that I knew any of that? And anyway, that's really no excuse for bad grammar. It needs to be fixed.
celestia and solorus wtf love eachother
ReplyDeleteCant wait for part 2 of applebucks adventure in mare ponyville
Originally, I thought, "Meh, it's too cheesy." Rarity being so over-the-top was initially what had me not continue reading the instant you updated.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've finally gotten around to it, I'm really happy I did. For all the cheesiness at the beginning, you really wrap it up well. It's such a touching story. Well done! ^.^
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DOES HEDGE STAND FOR?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteFOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DOES HEDGE STAND FOR?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnd there needs to not be a question mark at the end of the Applebuck story. That MUST be continued.
Applebuck!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf this doesn't at least continue for a visit by the boys, I will be sad as Applebuck is so cute.
I demand more (or I guess since he wasn't actually seen, some) Presto!
@Conner Cogwork
ReplyDeletePlease say there will be a follow up to this? More character development?
@The File
ReplyDeleteSounds about right to me. I just can't picture him with the "Flutterguy" voice.
@Versilaryan
ReplyDeleteOf course it's cheezy. This is Rarity we're talking about. You expect her to NOT be dramatic?
Especially with another Rarity to egg her on...
Goddamn, that was a good read!
ReplyDeleteThis is the bestest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this deserves every star I can possibly give!
I was a bit worried that the interaction between the mares and the stallions would feel forced or just plain wierd, but you pulled it off perfectly!
The ending was perfect, just perfect. So cute, yet so sad. Just...perfect.
And cute.
And sad, too.
Confund these ponies, they make me feel things!
Anyway, great story, keep up the awesome work. This one goes into my folder of "epic awesomeness", with It's a Dangerous Buisness and Past Sins.
Sequel, pleeeeeeeease!?

ReplyDeleteLeft the rest of my reviews on Fanfiction.net ONLY.
ReplyDeleteTake my stars, ALL OF MY STARS!
ReplyDeleteI need Story 2... Please.
In the Names of Celestia and Solaris please continue the sequel!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of something like this, let alone anticipated it being one of the best fics I've seen. Kudos to you, Conner.
ReplyDeleteso sequel?
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to cry. I still want to see both mane 6s together again.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was pretty much the best bucking thing I've ever read.
ReplyDelete"To be continued...?"
YES PLEASE!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSequel in the works?
ReplyDeleteGreat story, many different moods and elements brought together to keep things interesting and I personally welcome the more intense shipping scenes, it gives us bronies something we can relate to that's more exciting and memorable.
We all know the demo was originally intended for young teenage girls at the very least and this story, I would rate, is a PG-13.
@Clockwise Gear
ReplyDeleteConner better make a sequel, or like I said, I will cry. Oh, and also, If I don't see any Solly/Celly, I will be a dry, lifeless sack, because all the water in my body was drained through my tear ducts.
This story was far less ridiculous than I thought it would be. It's getting late so I won't go into details, but you have really made an interesting story with a topic and plot that most would question simply because of the concept/content. I commend you for that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have done one of the craftiest ways to make an easter egg I have ever seen. I look forward to a sequel.
I demand moar.
ReplyDeleteYou better be writing a sequel after that teaser!
ReplyDeleteOh the anxiety . . . I'm dying just waiting, I can be patient when waiting for stories, but that doesn't mean I like waiting . . . but I'm dying for a sequel/continuation of this, it's my favorite fan fic. Ever.
ReplyDelete@ZSurvivalist
ReplyDeleteCUTIE MARK CRUSADER INTERDIMENSIONAL TRAVELERS! YAY!
@Clockwise Gear
ReplyDelete"What does a blue "police box" cutie mark mean?"
"I dunno! What's a Dee Lorean?"
I read the whole story in one sitting, Over perhaps four and a half hours. I loved it, Its brilliant, Thank you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Part 7 cracked me up.
-That was an amazing story
ReplyDelete*Scrolls down and see link*
-What's this?
*Reads teaser*
-You better be adding on to the story if you're going to tease me like that
In the epilogue, Trixie calls the magic "prestidigitation". This is incorrect. "Prestidigitation" refers to slight-of-hand, not actual magic.
ReplyDeleteWho is Artemis?
ReplyDelete"I know me and my friends" You mean "My friends and I".
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI like those better than the ones in the story, TBH.
@Nulono
ReplyDeleteArtemis was the greek goddess of the moon, hunting, and the wilds.
In this story, it's male!Luna.
... It has now been 11+ days. While Trevor is willing to keep waiting for another chapter, he, as well as everypony else, would at least appreciate knowing if you intend to continue this at some point, Conner. Even if it will be a few months or something, we would appreciate an update of some sort. Thank you.
ReplyDelete~ Magical Trevor, Minstrel of Equestria
@The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor I have -got- to concur. I'm itching for more, I'm sure it's hard from here to think about a continuation to the series, but my god I just sat here for more hours than I can count. I've had this one open as one of my tabs for like five days now, and I was bored this morning so I gave it a go. Amazing, amazing story. I really loved all the puns and things like Playpony, made me roar from laughter.
ReplyDeletePlease do continue this story, if at all possible! I'm loving it!
The author of this work has been seen commenting on other stories. It seems that he avoids the drop in here?
ReplyDeleteThis was great.
ReplyDeleteI read the teaser, but I'm honestly content with the way the main one ended. It fit nicely.
... Okay, it's been two weeks now. We REALLY need a comment from you, Conner. We don't care if you won't get to it for a month or two, but we NEED to know if/when you're going to continue. Seriously, it's a lot easier to wait that way...
ReplyDeleteFOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE, PLEASE COMMENT!!!
~ Magical Trevor, Minstrel of Equestria
p.s. kay Bronies, we need to get moving! Conner isn't going to respond, more likely than not, so we just need to find the e-mail, and then spam Con like crazy until Con comments! READYSETGO!
@The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor
ReplyDeleteAUUUUGH NOT THE FLOOD! NOT THE FLOOOOD!!!
Okay okay, sorry about that ponies. Apparently, I need to clarify a few things. X3;
First off, yes, I have a sequel of sorts planned for C&A. However, that's probably not going to come about for a long while. And when it does come about, it'll be its own story, in a separate post from C&A. Though it WILL continue straight off of that Whisper of Wind.
In the meantime, I've got other fics in progress that I wanna finish. And then there's that C&A Voice drama. I've gotten in contact with Heolix, the guy in charge of that, and we've both been working together on the thing. *Philisterman is on as Applejack and Berry! *dashface* This community continues to amaze me everywhere I go.
Sorry for having left you guys hanging. I'm really glad you've all enjoyed it. Sorry about the Presto name, Trevor, but it was too good to pass up. Originally, it was just 'Tricksey', which was lame.
As for Anarchy Apollo, hey, I was grasping for something catchy. Even if it's more about the sun than the moon, you can't help but admit it sounds cool.
Again, I'm glad you've all enjoyed the tale. Thanks a lot, everypony! ^^
@Conner Cogwork
ReplyDeleteAh, okay! Psh, Trevor can wait that long! XD Now that one knows how long it's going to be now, it won't drive one crazy, thinking that it would update any day now with the sequel! XD
XD It's fine about the name, Con, really. Besides, Trevor is just one's own interpretation of the character, especially since one is making a fanfic about him, so... Yeah! (Though, if you dn't mind, I'd like to use the name Presto in my fic, if possible. He'd be Trevor's teacher. (Like how several ponies say that the great hoofdini was Trixie's teacher? Well, in my fanfic... Well, one isn't going to spoil anything, but I'd like to have Presto be a Prof. at Celestia's school, so long as you don't mind!))
Anyhoof, One will just wait patiently for everything to happen! It's not like there's a shortage of good stories to read here, so Trevor will just preoccupy his time by reading those, and when you DO start the second story, it'll be a VERY pleasant surprise! 8D

p.s. Sorry if one was whining. As patient as one claims to be, one is really rather impatient at times, for which one apologizes...
@Conner Cogwork No problem mate! I'll be eager to read any other fanfics you may be writing. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteEven though I can't wait, I will wait for this amazing sequel that is planned. Definately one of the best stories on the site!
ReplyDeleteon a minor unrelated not, hoping this isn't much of an issue but i'm borrowing elements from your story to add to a fanfic i'm writing as well. the basic premise is that as part of a study on humans.
ReplyDeletethe one i'm writing is a sequel to a finished but yet to be edited fanfic crossing ponies with nazi zombies) Dusk and Twilight merge the dimensions with the help of the Alicorn quartet
(Celestia, Luna, Artemis, and Solaris) and then amplify a spell that transforms all those in ponyville and the surrounding area into humans for purposes of Twilight and Dusk's joint study
Well well, after starting to read this at 2pm and now coming to a close at 1am I gotta say...wow...just the best iv'e read outa the (now) 37 shippings i've read. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThat e-reader version is genius, now I don't have to juggle all the files separatly with converting software, pfff.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI really did enjoy reading this story, it amazes me how devoted some fellow bronies are.
ReplyDeleteSPOILERS
My favorite part was the part with twilight and dusk, very touching
Is it bad that I stayed up all night reading this awesome story? Because it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteim not usually into these kind of fics but it was so cute. very enjoyable the ending made me sad but happy at the same time, i feel very conflicting emotions right now lol
ReplyDeleteThis is easily one of the best Fan Fictions I have ever read. The ending gets to me, explain what it means god damn it!!!
ReplyDeletePEOPLE THER EIS A SEQUEL!
ReplyDeleteSCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN ON CHAPTER 11
AND WHY DONT I JUST USE CAPS LOCK IN STEAD OF HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY?
@jimmynator
ReplyDeleteBECAUSE THEE CANNOT SPEAKETH WITH THY'S ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE WITH THOU'S CAPSLOCK
Oh in the name of celestia what will happen? Was applebuck the only genderbent character to go to "normal" ponyville? Will blitz and dash get together? Will the fouth wall explode twice when pinkie and berry are together?.....to be continued....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
ReplyDeleteOH SWEET CELESTIA PLEASE CONTINUE THIS! You CAN'T just leave it as "To Be Continued?"!!
ReplyDeletethis is going to make my mind run away giggling madly isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSimply phenomenal.
ReplyDeletea bit weird, but a good story overall
ReplyDeleteThis needs to be continued!!!! I...er... I.... *thrashes* Must... continue... *digs out my typewriter* I mean, if this isn't going to be continued... I'm more than happy to try and put my own spin on this universe you've created.
ReplyDeleteI know it would be difficult, but it would be awesome if someone made an animation for this!
ReplyDeleteAn animation would be great, if you aren't working on it already. :3
ReplyDelete*turns to flutterrage*
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SEQUEL!!!
Oh please don't be finished with this! I need more!
ReplyDeleteso far, i know that someone on youtube is making a fandub voice over on this story; it's very well done, he's got the fluttershy/butterscotch accidental meet up at the market place
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsEAabIhETQ&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
do warn you though, if you've been diagnosed with diabetes within the past few hours, you might want to prepare yourself highly
two pinkies working together ....
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing. The first half was hilarious, then it got so touching by the end.
ReplyDeleteI need more. I read it all, but it's not enough.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I hate fanfiction. You read the good ones, and you're like "where's the rest?" and you just wan more so you read more fics. Right after finishing reading this, I went to its tropes page and found out here's a sherlock holmes crossover where rarity is sherlock and dash is watson. Welp, looks like I just lost another few hours...
I need to hear more of this, this needs to continue. now please.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the only thing that has ever had me laughing as hard as this has is the Ballad of Twilight Sparkle. Two pinkies is the absolute best/worst idea EVER!
ReplyDeleteWill there be a sequel ??? Pleaseeeee
ReplyDeleteJust finished this AMAZING story!
ReplyDeletePlease continue with a sequel! I'm sure it will HILARIOUS!
Just finished this.
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC STORY!
Thank you so much for this one.
I am looking forward to the sequel.
Where's the Sequal? D:
ReplyDeleteI have the solution to everyponies problems!
ReplyDelete...
...
...
Oh you wanted to hear it?
After reading chapter 12 (A wisper of wind )
ReplyDeleteNAO TO GOOD TO END NOW !!!
You know, I've always hated that "if I meet myself, the world might end!" plot device. In time travel it can make sense to avoid yourself, since if you're in the past you'll probably realize that you don't remember meeting yourself (but it won't destroy the universe), but under other circumstances it's stupid and Twi should know better. If the universe minded having two copies of you, it wouldn't wait until both of you saw the other to act on it.
ReplyDeletegh;osfign;ovno Twi is really starting to get on my nerves. I don't remember Twi being so neurotic over irrevocably changing the fabric of Ponyville with her interference when she first arrived there. Twi being an idiot really annoys me.
ReplyDeleteI found the story link while looking around in YouTube and stumbling into the voiced version of Fluttershy meeting Butterscotch.
ReplyDeleteThen I proceeded to wile away a whole day reading the story. It was AWESOME !!! Thank you for writing it :). I wanted Pinkie and Berry to interact more tho. My absolute favorite part is Rarity and Elusive together. Blitz being bi curious was a funny bit too, lol
YES THE SEQUEL IS FINALLY HERE!!! HOOPLA! CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TO DEVELOP, SO I CAN FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO APPLEBUCK.
ReplyDeleteDude Please write a continuation this was such a good story.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good story please continue it! It made me want to keep reading every second of the day!
ReplyDeleteI cried so much when they all had to leave their male selves. I might make a continuing story ans make sure THAT IT GETS ON HERE!
ReplyDeletei just loved this
ReplyDeletei especially enjoyed the surprise at the end of the final page.
There Soooo Has To Be A Sequel PLEASE! I Mean C'Mon The Rainbow Dash And Blitz I Was Pretty Much Screaming For More ... There Has To Be A Second One ;3 ... They Just Have To Get Together!
ReplyDeleteI actually want there to be a second one!
ReplyDeleteTHERE NEEDS TO BE A SECOND..PPPLLEEAASSEEEEEE!!
ReplyDeleteThis was absolutely amazing! The only thing that bugged me the entire time reading this was when Applejack used "y'all" while talking to or about one person. "Y'all" is a contraction for "you all" and is meant for more than one person. I'm not sure where the author is from, but I'm guessing he isn't from the south. Other than that I enjoyed it a lot! :3 I would love for there to be a second one.
ReplyDelete@Hana_Katsumi The reason the author uses "y'all" for singular is due to the fact Applejack also does so on the actual show.
ReplyDeleteMy first pony fanfiction! I honestly think there has to be a sequel! (To parody from the episode "The Last Rodeo") I read a to be continued in there so that'll have to do for now, but I'm expecting a sequel soon! Elusivecatchme! ELUSIVe: Huh *thump!* BERRY!!!
