It was your typical average day. The sun was shining outside, I had just gotten up. Nothing out of the ordinary. If there was anything special about today it was that I had it off. This of course lead to my having to decide what to do with it. See life wasn't like it was when I went to school. Days off were to be cherished, savored. When you had a day off now a days you wanted to do something impactful. Something that had meaning. Something like working on any of the many stories I needed to finish up on fimfiction. Surely my readers would appreciate all the hard work and effort I put into each and every line.

Bleep! Went my gaming console as I turned it on. I'd just do some grinding in my favorite online game first. Sure that's what I've been doing for the last several days off for the last few months, but who cares? It's not like my readers would die without an update right? Surely they would understand the importance of video gaming instead of taking even one small hour to write out a few paragraphs. Hey, coming up with stuff to write was hard! I deserved another break!

Besides, I still have some weapons to farm! I reminded myself while I headed down to the area I needed to find the next quest marker. If it was anything like the other quests, I'd have to kill a bunch of enemies and probably run a mission here or there. If I was lucky there wouldn't be a damn PVP step again. I hated those. Regardless this would probably take me all day. Oh well not like I had anything better to do.

I was just landing when the game began to bug out. Damn it, was I getting kicked out due to server errors again? However, instead of being kicked back to the title screen, what looked to be a message box popped up. That was odd, the game didn't usually pop these up on a planet. Only when you first spawned into the game. What was going on? Some new milestone?

"Hello Videomaster21xx. Would you like to go to Equestria?"

I blinked. I couldn't be reading that right. Why would it be asking me about ponies in this game? It didn't make any sense! There was no way they were doing some sort of cross over. Come to think of it, how the hell did they get my screen name? That wasn't my PSN name, it was my usual online handle! What the fuck?

Pressing the cancel button, nothing happened. Upon taking a closer look there wasn't even a button indicated to press. How was I suppose to answer this? Out loud? Feeling kinda silly, I decided to give it a shot.

"Okay yeah sure, I'd love to." I told the screen. I hope I hadn't gotten hacked, though honestly what else could this be? Well better shut the system down and get on the help forums, wait was the text changing!?

"Excellent! Beginning transfer..." It read, the loading symbol spinning next to it. Okay this was freaky, I didn't know who's idea of a joke this was, but it wasn't very funny. Pressing the playstation button on my controller I waited for the shut down menu to pop up, but instead it told me that wasn't available. How could it not be available!? Just what was going on? Fine if I couldn't shut it down that way, I'd do it from the source!

Walking across my room, I knelt down in front of the system and pressed it's power button. Much like with my controller I was told that option wasn't available. To be honest I half expected this. Well there was one way I could shut this down that they couldn't prevent. My hand had just closed around the power cable, when something wrapped around my wrist, pulling it away.

"AHH WHAT THE FUCK!?" I screamed looking at what appeared to be a purple see through tentacle pulsing with energy, and wrapped around my arm. Soon three more followed, each grabbing one of my limbs. With a start I realized they were all coming from my television!

"H-Hey! L-Let me go!" I cried trying to break free, but it was quickly apparent that was impossible. These things felt like they were made of steel wire! If only I wasn't home alone at this moment! There was no one to hear me or help! I didn't have long to ponder my new dilemma as more of these things shot out of the T.V. wrapping themselves around me. With a suddenly lurch they pulled me toward the screen!

Like any normal person, I braced myself for impact, but it was one that never came. Instead of smacking into the screen, I went through it as if it wasn't even there! The next thing I knew I was hurling through a tunnel of bright lights and swirling energy, my body feeling like a sardine from all the pressure I felt from the turbulence. What was going on? Why did this all look familiar to me? Wasn't this how the tunnel that Twilight used in Equestria Girl's looked? Why was that what was on my mind!?

I didn't know how long I spent tumbling through this, but at some point I must have blacked out. The next thing I knew I was slowly coming around in pitch darkness. I couldn't even see the nose on my own face. Where was I? Maybe if I- W-wait why couldn't I move? W-what the hell? I couldn't feel my body! I couldn't sense anything! What's going on? Was I dying!? Someone help me!

"Okay okay! Just relax, you're just in processing is all." A sudden voice seemed to say from all around me. I could vaguely feel it sounded familiar, but it wasn't like I was hearing sound through my ears at the moment, more like the sound and words were just 'becoming' around me. It reminded me a bit about Poo in Earthbound when he could only receive thoughts during a phase of this training. Was that what had happened to me? I was just a brain with no body? I think I'd have felt sick if I could feel anything at all.

"First off you aren't dead. That wouldn't be fun. In fact you can rest easy knowing you can't die during this little... game."

So I couldn't die? Well I guess that was comforting, but I still would like to know what was going on. Could I even talk to this thing?

"If you are wondering if I can hear you, then the answer is yes. Now would you like me to explain to you how this works?"

What? How what works? I just want to go home!

"Uh uh, that's not how it's going to work. You said yes to going to Equestria, so here you are. Well not there yet of course, this is the loading area, but soon. We just have to let "Them" decide on a few things first.

Them?

"Oh I wouldn't worry about who they are, there is nothing you can do about what they choose anyway, yet choose they must. If we're to set you up properly, you'll need a role to play."

Role to play? What was he talking about? What was going on?!

"Oh yes, I almost forgot to explain the premise!" The voice shouted with glee. I somehow heard a snap, right before some familiar yellow text appeared floating in the void before me. I'm not sure how I could tell what it was or what is said when I didn't seem to have eyes, but there they were.

Choice A: Subject accepts entry into Equestria, or Equestria like world.
Choice B: Subject rejects offer.

They remained there for a few moments before the top choice flashed and was underlined. The second choice vanishing completely.

Choice A: Subject accepts entry into Equestria, or Equestria like world

"As you can see, you chose choice A. To enter an Equestrian world, or one very similar to it. Now here are the rules. You must reach a satisfactory conclusion to this 'tale' I'm about to drop you into. What that means exactly will not be made clear. Just know that if you make people hate you, it's unlikely you'll achieve this goal. Boring I know, but as fun as it would be for you to cause such chaos and destruction, we have to play it nice. Ugh."

The way this person or thing was talking reminded me of someone. Could this be-

"Never mind that! Never mind! Just focus on the rules, I'm sure you'll find them good to know. Now where was I? Oh yes, you remember I said I'd drop you into a tale did I not? Well here is the oh so wonderful catch! It won't be as you are now!"

Not as who I am? Wait, was this one of those things where I had to pretend to be one of the mane six or something?

"Oh no no no, nothing so boring. Yuck. That's not nearly exciting enough! No but you will be sharing a relation with someone or somepony. I just don't know who yet. That's up to THEM to decide."

There was that "them"again. I was really beginning to worry about who these things were.

"Oh I wouldn't worry, in fact I'm sure who don't even know them. Well not personally anyway, you may have had a chat or two in the comments. As I said though that doesn't matter. What does matter is they get to choose the... speed bumps you encounter during your story. As well as a few other things."

I swore I could feel Discord, for I was sure it was him, study his claws.

"Of course I'll be making a few adjustments myself. One you should notice the moment you arrive, but I'm getting ahead of myself. It's time for them to pick their first choice. Oh and to be fair, I'll even let you see what those choices are, though try as you might you can't chance the outcome of what's chosen!"

With that three more choices in yellow text appeared before me:

Choice A: The Equestria Girls world.

Choice B: The pony Equestria as we know it.

Choice C: A mixture of the two.

The third choice caught my interest the most. Just how would that even work?

"Tut tut, I can't tell you, but I can tell them. Please for those of you are are them. Look to the author's notes for more information on each choice. Once it's been decided, the fun begins! With my... twist of course."

Check the way now? All of this was too much. If I had any blood at the moment I'm sure it'd run cold. Guess there was nothing I could do but hope 'they' chose well...

Author's Note

Okay so here's how I hope to make this work. I actually AM working on my other stories at the moment, but need something to keep my interest in writing that doesn't take forever to get anything out with. Here is my test/solution.

Each chapter I'll try to make short usually detailing the choice you the readers have chosen. That's right. YOU are "THEM"

While I'll look everything over for spelling errors and the like, I don't plan on trying to do any 'super editing' to this, but if you spot a mistake, by all means point it out.

Now as Discord said, your first three choices are as stated, but allow me to give you all some more details on each one.

Though I suppose before we get to that, there is one last thing I should mention.

Discord's twist is, as to be expected of me, to turn 'me' into a girl. Age and type of pony depends on the choices. (Also obviously this character in the story isn't really me. Don't feel bad about choosing fun choices. XD)

One other thing I'm keen on making happen is instead of me just ending up as some random pony/person in this world, I actually have a 'role' already. Perhaps as Rarity's daughter? Cadance's daughter Skyla, or even another sister of Pinkie? Maybe sister to Fluttershy?

That's something I want to give you a bit of choice on, but for now we should focus on the three options given.

Choice A: The Equestria Girls world.
If this one is chosen, then he'll end up as a teen girl going to the school. Depending on what role SHE'S given depends on what she does next. Likely we'll choose 'personality traits' next.

Oh and don't worry, any mental changes won't override who she really is. It'll more be like things she can't help but do. Like if later people choose for her to be a flirt. She'll be aware she's flirting, but won't be able to help herself.

Choice B: Pony Equestria as we know it. She'll end up as a pony. Age will depend on you, as will what race of pony she is. Then we'll choose her role.

Choice C: A mixture of the two. This is a bit trickier. Basically this would be Equestria, with Pinkie working for the Cakes, Twilight a Princess, etc. Except they'd all be humans in this world. Possibly with TVs and phones and the like. Though magic would still exist. The 'races' of ponies would be different. Like Earth ponies as humans would be known as Terrans. Pegasus Angels, who as humans have the ability to grow and retract wings. Unicorns would be mages, and have pointed ears.

I'm sure it's been done before, but that's the basics of it.

I don't have any clear goal for the story, other then to just have fun and see where it goes. Every time I post a chapter I'll try to end it with a choice for you guys to make that'll determine where the story goes from there.

So, without further ado, here is the link to the poll for this chapter's choice!

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them in the comments!

(Oh right one last thing. You might have noticed the 'sex' tag. Yeah currently I see no reason why things can't be a bit 'adult' at times. Though there is still a chance that if the readers aren't feeling that, we'll cut that and make it teen. I just don't like having to 'skip around' sexual situations in places they'd obviously happen in.)

You can tel[ I haven't done this before as I keep adding things: But there are a few other things I feel need to be mentioned.

1- While I am providing the choices, I don't mind suggestions for ones at all! Please feel free to suggest them in the comments.

2- I figure I should be clear on things we likely won't get choices for:
-I'm not a 'grimdark' or 'dark' writer really. I'd rather avoid such things for this story.
-Sadly there are quite a few 'fetish' things I'm not really into. As such I'd rather not have anything to do with: Vore, waterspots(Or whatever it's called), diapers, weight gain, and probably some others.

3- Sex isn't off the table, but as per the rules, we ain't doing underage stuff. For teens or the CMC though, we'll just say everyone is 18 even if it's more likely they are only 16.

I can't think of anything else. I hope I have enough readers to actually get something going here. Guess we are about to see!
