Note: If you're not a fan of Human in Equestria stories... then this thread may not be the one you're looking for. But by all means reply if you wish.

 

What's your view on a human suddenly turned into a pony during a fan fiction say on fimfiction? Let's say for example the story is very long and the human is suddenly turned into a pony after about 40k words or more.

 

As in a fan fiction where the story is quite good...(a long story for bonus points) but then suddenly the human is turned into a pony.

 

The only time I can tolerate this sudden twist of events if his or her transformation was only temporary, otherwise I might just un-favorite it, hit the dislike button or not read past that part where he or she becomes a pony.

 

I really hate it when a human is turned into a pony. It kind of ruins the story for me.

I'm not really a fan of humans as a species ... Hopefully, we'll evolve into something better.

 

So, naturally this is a perk to a fanfic.

 

Ah yes, because the The Right Of A Superior Species totally gives them the right to be condescending elitists over all 'lesser' species? 

 

I forgot ponies were all perfect mary sues and gary sues that live in an absolutely perfect world, where nothing ever bad happens ever.

Your argument is the same as those against robotically driven cars; the cars might not be perfect, but they make fewer mistakes than humans.

 

Besides, the question is not one of perfection, but compassion.

Too much compassion is weakness. A race of that is far too compassionate is weak to a warlike savage race. Hippies don't beat tyrants. 

 

Races that are too compassionate are easy prey to those that aren't.

That is certainly correct; a savage race would destroy a pacifistic race.

 

I believe the difference between our opinions lies on differing principles. I hold pacifism over survival, but either way if you please =3

I hate it if it's right in the middle of a fanfic. There is literally no reason the human could of turned into a pony, unless Celestia turns the human into a pony somehow.

 

But I'm alright with it if a human turns into a pony in the beginning of the fanfic/when they enter Equestria. In fact, I'm following a human-to-pony fanfic right now. HiE fics are my favorite! :D

It really depends on the situation. If it is at the start of a story and it's a generic hie set up, I'll just won't read the story unless there is an interesting twist. Like the one with some 40-something male stuck in Snow Drop's body and has to save Equestria while dealing with being a pegasus, a young girl and being blind. I haven't real a lot of stories involving humans turning into ponies at a drop of a hat but a lot of the Five Score-esque ones would have the one driving the car for the ponies turn into Cadence overnight or something which is weird. I tend to get madder when a weird couple that just doesn't make sense is shipped in a fanfic. I really hate that.

I dislike it because it takes away the meaning of human in equestria I can continue to read it if it's temporary but if it's for the reminder of the story I would just not read it it's like turning scorpion from MKX and turning him into a ice cube for the entire game it ruins things for me

The book I've read it's almost always the human is only BRIEFLY turned into a pony (in one the guy is turned into a girl and still is thanks to discord). so it's nothing i mind or see that happens a lot. Personally i really like the twist in Antropology which i don't think often get's enough kudos. 

 

Op, My assumption to is that you MUST have the Conversion Bureau universe by the way.

While I hate the Conversion Bureau with a passion... I was referring to HIE fan fiction about a human that been in Equestria for quite awhile... (along story).. and then suddenly becomes a pony.

You do realise Equestria is a land where you can turn a frog into an orange and (apparently) no f***s are given, right? A human turning into a pony is totally plauseable in such a place. Just stroll along, making everyone jelly of having fingers before you brush into some poison joke some idiot as planted (because reasons) and poof, pastel horse. XD

It's heresy for a human to become a pony though? The heresy is so high it's worthy of Nicolas Cage to invade Equestria in order to wipe out the heresy.

Equestria is the "Bassilica of Torments" meantioned by Eliphas the Inhertor. Any chaos marine would dread spending an eternity in a land of ponies who sing about love and freindship. Except possibly the Thousand Sons, Twilight Sparkle is their waifu.

They're interesting, i guess. I personally like it more when they go to Equestria as a ordinary human, or as something else than a pony(Griffin, Diamond Dog, Some creature/hero/villain from another story). Pony-humans just kinda have gotten a little too cliche for my liking.(Especially love it when HIE's are villains/anti-heroes/Feared.)

I personally hate human-turned-pony fanfics. They normally revolve around a brony who is depressed and somehow finds a portal to Equestria. I remember there was one where the character found out that there's a show in Equestria called My Little Human, and he was the main character.  :eww:
