My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Fanfic Recs/Humans: Difference between revisions

 

[[Anthropology]]

* ''Synopsis'': "Humans. Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale? No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process."

* ''Comments'': Short, but very fascinating. It's a story about Lyra interested humans but doesn't actually feature them in Equestria {{spoiler|no thanks to Discord}}.

 

[[Article 2]] By Muppetz

* ''Synopsis'': The Princesses find an alien creature barely clinging to life at the scene of a terrifying crash. Can the Combined Power of the Elements of Harmony save it, or more importantly, should they save it? Will the arrival of this strange creature tear Equestria apart?

** ''Comments'': Very well written and fleshed out, one of the few quality humans in Equestria stories. Does an excellent job at illustrating how two very different sapient species would have trouble interacting with each other upon suddenly meeting.

 

[[My Little Dashie]] by ROBCakeran53

* ''Synopsis'': A nameless man lives alone in a dying city, in a world of apathy and gray, starving for color. One day, during one of his many lonely walks on the silent streets, he finds a box containing a young pegasus filly with a rainbow mane.

 

 

[[Through the Eyes of Another Pony]] by CardsLafter

* ''Synopsis'': A self-insert human-in-equestria fanfic written for the express purpose of showing that these so-called [[Sturgeon's Tropes|toxic tags]] that normally doom a fanfic to failure can be used to good effect. The author wakes up to find himself in Equestria, meets the Mane 6, the princesses, and a bevy of OC's, and faces off against The Nightmare (the force that corrupted Luna into Nightmare Moon); wisecracking and taking [[Aside Glance|aside glances]] all along the way.

''[[The Son of the Emperor]]'' by [[No More Sanity]]

* ''Synopsis'': "We all know about stories where Humans enter Equestria. But what about a world where Equestria is in the Human world? It is the year 1820, and a series of events brings a young unicorn and a human prince together. Together, they will embark on a quest to change Europe, and the world, forever."

* ''Synopsis'':When a motorcyclist is struck by lightning, it sends him to a strange world in a seemingly unexplainable turn of events. With no one able to offer him the answers to his questions, he settles in for the long haul, and looks for a way home. Lost, injured, and still reeling in the post-traumatic stress of military service, as well as the criminal underground of street racing, he struggles to maintain his very sanity. Little does he know, the friendships that made life worth living for him would be the key to stopping an ancient enemy bent on anarchy and genocide.

''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3203/MLP-Laboratories--The-Outbreak MLP Laboratories - The Outbreak]'' by [[Neu Strasbourg]]

* ''Synopsis'': Did the ponies really think they lived in a magical cartoon world? Where they controlled the weather? Where they had created and maintained an advanced civilization all by themselves, despite the fact they didn't even have thumbs? They believed that. At least for a while. But one by one, they are waking up to a much harsher, much more disturbing reality. They will try to fight their way out of a nightmarish place ruled by cold and sadistic entities.

* ''[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/3765/MLP-Laboratories--Freak-Show MLP Laboratories - Freak Show]'' is a companion piece.

* ''Synopsis'': Archer is not having a good day. He's recently been knocked unconscious and imprisoned by a Fae race, notorious for their animosity towards humans and each other. Instead of cannibalistic Merfolk or mischievous Fairies, he finds... talking ponies. Who want him to be their "friend."

* He is sentenced to remain in a small town they call ''Eqshana'', until he can learn to "live in harmony" with its inhabitants. Unfortunately, a message from his king, Jove V, has turned his prison sentence into a mission of espionage. Now he must escape these no-doubt insidious creatures, and even more importantly, stay sane doing it. Along the way, he will answer one of the most important questions he has ever faced: Is there really nothing to eat around here besides hay?
