Jack Trades is a reality jumper. After almost five hundred years of jumping into danger, sorrow or suffering, and at times a devastating combination of all three, he finally finds himself in Ponyville. Will he finally be able to move on from the nightmare he calls his past or will he be too far gone for redemption?
This is a alternate universe from the story "The Memoirs Of A Reality Jumper" by Techogre.
Edited by the one, the only, Techogre!

New picture I found on the interwebs somewhere...
If you find it send it to me and I will give the creator props.
Chapters (15)
Seems pretty good so far. Nice work.
AJ is carrying that flame hard.
715501
My bad?
715511
No! I would guess here her and Elusive didn't hit it off. Anyway, alternate universe, maybe this Alex went with AJ. You, sir or madam, are the author in control.
On a related note, I would be happy to help with dialog, characterization, etc. So far you have done an excellent job.
Can't type anymore on my beloved iPhone.

When I was making Applejack's dialog I was thinking about how she would act if someone was talking about Applebloom. Seeing as how she thought of Alex as a brother after the little accident at the wedding.
And also I gotta admit that I had a mini-heart attack when you said you would help. That would make my story 20% cooler.
Ah... sort of a continuation... I am intrigued.
If I ever decide to post my jumper story we can declare Mr.Ogre here the next Blaze.
Of course person has had a slightly different run... He's explored the sci-fi end of realities as opposed to the fantasy end
I dunno, they might be angry with him but STARVING a creature doesn't really seem like their style, especially if Alex has anything to say about it.
I'm interested to see how his interaction with Alex is going to go *grabs popcorn* this is gonna be good!
That it is, that it is.
Hmmmmm....
719971
Hmmmm?
720114 just thinking about all the ways this could go very badly for Jack
720240
Mmhhmmm....
720262
Indubitably...
720340
What could possibly go wrong?
720606
Everything!
MWAHAHAHA (cough) Ahhaha (cough)(cough) ha!
720657
All hail His noodley appendage.
720656
(Hands FoxUnderFire a glass of water) You okay? Yes? Good.
I mean, it's not like Alex will hand Jack his knife in some ill conceived trust excise and will get Alex and the mane 6 stabbed to death.
720667
...
Damn you!
Now I have to go and rewrite chapter 5 !
720672
Chapter 6 was the CMC picking up the pieces and trying to avenge the deaths of their loved ones. They become: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Avengers. (you can decide who is thor, hulk, Cap, etc.)
Okay, now I'm just derailing for my amusement. I'm sorry. I'll stop. Now. Done.
Okay, now.
There.
720682
It seems the comments section has just become our personal battleground just for our own amusement... I like it!

And so it begins.

I for one would love to see it.
Unless you already did and it slipped my mind (I blame old age)
I fully agree with KMCA. That doesn't seem like something any of them would do.
"We then spent the rest of the afternoon talking about this world.."
I'm liking this story so far, but I just had to point this out. Usually when an author wants to get past a conversation and uses a time skip, it almost never makes sense when you actually think about it. I mean, they were in the same place for hours just talking, while everyone else was just standing around outside doing nothing?
I'm imagining the ponies just standing there, hours after Alex went in, and Pinkie saying "Is the author ever going to let us move again?"
728051
Damn, I thought about that but I didn't think too many people would notice.
728723
Don't let that get you down. You think you're the first to have something like that? The example I just showed wasn't even the worst I've seen.
For example, I was reading a Prototype crossover, and one of the first thing that happens is the walking eldritch abomination has a seven hour long conversation with the CMC in the Everfree Forest. It went something like "For the next seven hours, he told them his entire story."
Actually, I think that's the longest example I can remember. So no, your story is hardly the worst example.
728799
Hey! I read that story It was completely random but I still laughed my ass off.
737309
Or are the implications everything?
Spoilers!
Warn us next time!
737339
Spoiler alert...
Damn too late.
737344
Damn you Scuba Steve!
Things seem to be turning out smoothly, now I'm waiting for everything to go wrong.
758950
Why would you think anything would go wrong?
...
...
...
Yeah alright, I'm gettin to it.
759260
Come on that's no attitude to take towards it, take pride in making everything go wrong, makes things more interesting!
oh somthing needs to go wrong to good
"Oh, what's that? An iceberg? Don't worry. Just drive the ship riiiiiight beside it."

'Nuff said.
AND THEN I WENT COMPLETELY UN-CREDITED AS THE CREATOR OF THE COVER ART
That aside, I never read "Memoirs" so I don't really think I'd get this story too well. Seems like it's getting good reception so far though, so I hope you have fun with it and keep on trucking!

This dude made the cover art.
RESPECT HIM OR SUFFER THE WRATH OF MY HURTFUL COMMENTS!
In the spirit of constructive criticism.... I am having issues with Jack. He goes from being paranoid to accepting at the drop of a hat. Case in point... Derpy. After dodging a perceived attack he turns around and offers a hand. He should be hopped up on adrenaline, ready to fight for his life. He should be reacting with anger and fear, probably yelling at everypony. Then, after he cools down, he can be filled with regret.
Well that's my two bits.
I don't really have anything to say about this chapter, not that it's bad! I just don't really have anything to say, but I decided it's better to leave a comment in general then not to leave anything.
I did however enjoy this chapter
851613
Awesome!
A reader was speechless in absolute wonderment after reading my chapter!
851979
That's right, I bow in your presence oh mighty lord of writing.
842833
While you do have a point, I can see what he's trying to do. I see Jack as going crazy on the inside, adrenaline burning, hands shaking, but he so wants to fit it, he's using every once of willpower to not lash out. This is coming out as his slightly over the top dilog and "mood swings".
Alex wouldn't comment because, hell, he understands what's going through Jack's mind. He just arrived to a relative paradise, with genuinely nice and caring people, who are actually trying to help him.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but that's what I see.
853186
Oh I agree completely and that is kinda my point.
What I was trying to point out, and I did a poor job of it, was that it isn't being portrayed in these scenes. In other chapters we saw the inner conflict; all we are getting here is the aftermath.
What we got was: OH! Attack! Look hurt pony lets help.
What would have fit better: OH! Attack! Internal conflict. Look hurt pony. More internal conflict. Lets help.

Succinctly put.
