Someone reccomend me a good human in Equestria story

[SuperUltimateBrony 351]

I've been searching Google and all the one's I've found have either clop sections or the chapters are horribly written and only about four hundred words each. Human in Equestria fanfics are my favorite. I'd prefer something with action. Maybe the human has to save the ponies from a new villain or something? Thank you!

My favorite is Project Sunflower. I can't provide a link to it because I am on a device that cannot copy links but it a quick search on Fimfiction to find it. It was amazing!

[SuperUltimateBrony 351]

Thank you. I'll be sure to check that out. Are there any other ones that I should read? I plan on staying awake all night anyway so it's a great idea.

I've never read one myself for fear of the same reasons that you [rightly] see them as terrible.

 

If there actually is a really decent episode-quality fic out there, I might just read it.

Ooh! One of my favorite HiE fics is Just passing through by Caliaponia, even though there are only like two chapters so far

 

Here's the description:

 

Cloudsdale.  Bastion of the Pegasi, linchpin of weather control, home to the Wonderbolts.  A magnificent metropolis gracing the skies of Equestria.  So what happens when an oblivious human starts stumbling around in a hang-glider?  As they say, hilarity ensues.

 

 

 

By the way, also, for finding good MLP fics, I'd recommend checking out FIMFiction.net rather than using a Google search

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

I recommend "In Another Land" by CloudFyre. That was the first HiE fic I read through, and it even has a sequel already posted alongside in the proceeding chapters.

This is bad form I admit, but I'm going to reprint my comments on the subject from the Favorites and Recommendations Fanfiction thread (though I should acknowledge neither of these are action stories):

 

The Daily Show with Ponies
Description: "In an effort to appeal to a wider range of audiences, we here at The Daily Show have decided to undertake a bold new approach to interviewing. We went beyond our own world and decided to send invitations to appear on our show to a far away land known as Equestria. Each story (Or interview) will be uploaded individually each depicting a new MLP character being interviewed. We're calling it: Equestrian Interviews. If this doesn't help launch us to #1 on the ratings nothing will!"
Thoughts: If the first interview with Spike doesn't impress you, don't stop reading as it improves rapidly. Altogether, this story works because it's not just interviews, there's a continuous story. By far, the best thing about it is Trixie and the chemistry she and Jon share. Trixie doesn't make an appearance until later chapters but once she does what was already an enjoyable tale takes off. She's a sympathetic and compelling character. Apart from her the story is also notable for taking characters who one would think would make for dull interviews like Ms. Cheerilee and Mayor Mare and making them as entertaining as the rest. How each character, including Jon, is presented is spot on. If you enjoy The Daily Show check this out.

 

 

Arrow 18 Mission Logs

Description: "The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors. Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices. These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency."
Thoughts: You know what's bizarre about this story? In scifi there's "hard scifi" and "soft scifi", the difference being that hard scifi is concerned with scientific accuracy whereas soft scifi plays fast and loose with the rules. Arrow 18 is a story with pastel-colored magical talking horses that reads like hard scifi. No, really. The story is so down-to-earth it honestly makes more sense to classify it as such. What makes the story work, first and foremost, is that the main character is a professional with a real job to do who finds Equestria every bit as bizarre as he should. Human technology, apart from interstellar travel (which is itself a recent invention), is kept plausible. So plausible, in fact, that two hundred years from now they still haven't invented long term storage meals that taste like anything but rehydrated cardboard (much to Randy's- the main character's- dismay). Each log details Randy's progress and show's him acting as- and this can't be stressed enough- the professional he is. To provide an example, after meeting Twilight she wants to experience flight in his space craft. Randy is worried, however, because there are no pony-shaped harnesses to keep her in place. In unlikely to be dangerous since he's only moving a short distance but he takes the matter into heavy consideration because he's a professional and professionals take safety very, very seriously. Another example would be that he doesn't just eat food from the planet; he runs it through a microbiology lab first. Considerable care is taken to keep this story grounded such that it reads like what would really happen if a human explorer journeyed across the galaxy and found Equestria. I could praise it more, talking about the natural story progression or how awesome it is that Randy and Twilight first learn to communicate through math but I've already got a wall of text and should probably let the matter close.

I recommend "A study in Humanity", mostly because I am the author.

But seriously, if you look hard enough, I'm sure you'll find ones that suit your tastes.
