Before I read this, I just wanna say. X FILES? What's next? DMC? Supernatural? Bio shock? God Hand? Goodfellas? I fucking love this fandom!

Mulder in a red Hawaiian shirt and khaki pants. That was something I never wanted to imagine. Great work! Five stars.

Just a quick note: I'm still waiting for someone to start ponifying classic literature. Somepony already got the ball rolling with that picture of The Scarlet Cutie Mark, but why stop there?Also, this story is VERY fun so far. Looking forward to the continuation!

This is just.. I don't even know how to explain this. For some reason this is the most ridiculous crossover so far to me, and it's executed so perfectly that it works; and does so INCREDIBLY well. I just love it to bits and bits 😀 As an X-Files fan, I am in awe of the author's ability to replicate the feel of the show. And then, suddenly, pony.

Ah hell yeah. A Supernatural cross over would be awesome. Make it include Loki, and Pinkie Pie being his apprentice.

I had a dream a few weeks ago that indeed, ponies were taking over, and they were not the loving and tolerating kind of ponies, either.

@korbyBlasphemy! The only unloving and intolerant ponies I can think of are miniature horses in real life. No seriously, those little fuckers bite hard.

X-File/MLP. Not obvious, but highly appreciated.With all these crossovers, I'm still shocked that the inevitable 'MLP:FiM/Community' crossover hasn't happened yet."Troy and Abed in EQUEEEEEESTRIA!"

One thing I'd suggest, tweak how you're using line breaks. Right now, it seems random (in relation to the plot) or mathematical (every so-and-so number of lines or paragraphs). It might be for readability sake only but I was thinking it was actual action separators. And you might want to just add a blank line after every paragraph.Another mechanical thing: when a new person starts talking, separate it out into a new line. It spreads the page out, true, but it adds to readability. Like, tons. Please, do it.Mulder's excuse in Chapter 2. Paper checking doesn't require staying aboard the vessel, though paper-checking+vacation might have been more believable. And I'm pretty sure the US Coast Guard/Port Authority of the city takes care of that, not the FBI (unless there is a criminal investigation, in which case the FBI might be called in to support Coast Guard activities).I don't remember Mulder being a food-a-holic in the show, though I stopped watching a couple seasons in. So far, it seems implied but maybe I'm just hungry.Something to note: Cruise ships are big. BIG BIG BIG. Even hurricane-strength wind tends not to jostle them much, though wave actions can be harsher. Still, it's rare for big ships like that to have the violent motion you depict. Though if the ship was being lifted into the sky, than yes, violent motion ahoy, to use an overused nautical term.All in all, a nice little romp. One crossover I hadn't expected to find but I have no idea why. I'd like to see more, especially Skully's reaction to magic. Don't let my nitpickings dissuade you from continuing, though PLEASE work on line separators and streamlining the conversations.

The more random the crossover, the better. Never been a huge fan on X-Files but I'm liking this story. Just wish there was more 😛

I don't usually like the Pony Crossover stuff. Hell, I don't like the X-Files. Only the amazing writeup made me read it, and I am glad I did, or perhaps not, because now I require more. MORE I SAID!

I was a huge fan of X-Files back in the day – it was the first fandom where I really got into fanfic, though mostly as a reader – so I'm tickled pink to see this crossover. We want more!

Never paid much attention to the X-Files. Still writing is okay and story is entertaining.But…Pedant mode on:"galleon" for a vessel of the Royal Navy circa 1790? No. The Galleon type vessel had long since become obsolete, and while the terminology was still used rather anachronistically for certain Spanish merchant vessels, it was no longer used for any type of serious warship. You're looking for Ship of the Line; Man of War; Frigate or something between 1st rate (100 gun) and 6th rate (20 gun frigate).End pedant mode…

This is seriously the most ludicrous crossover I have ever witnessed. I don't even know if I can read it, it's just so ludicrous.

X-Files, an old favorite of mine. So far the story looks well planned, and the dialogue if quite fitting. The next chapter will really tell, as you transition from X-Files-proper to the actual crossover elements.My only criticism would be to suggest that you break up your paragraphs and not stream separate lines of dialogue.

@AnonymousDunno. Compared to stuff I've seen X-Files crossed over with, this is downright reasonable and straightforward!

This is shaping up quite nicely, I can't wait to see what happens next. I do hope that both Mulder and Scully won't be boring old earth ponies, it'd be quite intriguing to see them having to adapt to unicorn magic or pegasus wings.

@Anonymous: Thank you for the advice. My friend proof-reading it suggested fixing the line breaks, but I was unsure how to go about it. Also, I've admittedly never been on a cruise ship, so all the stuff I used was based on very basic research (I know absolutely nothing about size, building materials, where records would actually be kept, etc.)@Escrime: Thank you for clarifying that for me. Again, I only did basic research concerning Royal Navy ships in the 18th century, but I did come across both 'galleon' and 'ship of the line'. I'll make the corrections now.Thank you all so much for reading! The next chapter should be done in the next couple of days.

Confound these ponies, they drive me to fanfic! Even if I've only read this, Cupcakes and "The Sun is Tired"…But seriously, I'm looking forward to Part 3.

Oh geez. This has so much nostalgia for me, being a long-time X-Files fan and reader of X-Files fanfics (mostly written by my mother, I am sorry to admit). This is a great ominous setup in the first chapter (and I love the title). The second chapter was a little slower, but…I can't wait for more.

@ToonNinjamaybe I should go for "War of the Words", or "Starship Troopers"? Or better yet, "Dragon Riders of Pern" series XD

Dang it! It ends just when it gets to the good part.Can't wait to see the reason behind the disappearances.

And the adventure continues, with Scully just as stubbornly cynical as ever. Seriously, did she EVER believe what Mulder was talking before the halfway marker? You'd think by the third season or so she'd catch on that these things can— and will— happen.

Okay, Mulder the Pegasus had GOT to get some sunflower seeds. :PSeriously though, this is a hilarious crossover. As if the Simpsons wasn't enough of a strain on poor Scully!

The pink one knows more than she says. She'll put you in trances…Sorry. I got Twin Peaks flashbacks and I've never seen the show.I shouldn't have seen the youtube video "A look on how ponies think," before looking at the story. I blame the G-Man.

Line breaks.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Yes, it stretches the page out but it's SO much easier to read!X-Files as ponies, eh, not expecting that really but since there were so many disappearances in the past and no humans remain in Equestria, I should have guessed. Electromagnetism is a flimsy excuse for levitation but Skully would probably latch onto something she could understand. Though, to be honest, it's all magic until someone explains it, then it's science.Poor Rarity, she gets so little screen time in these fics, though GOOD CHOICE on her being the one to find them. She is rather in character, though she would probably have said 'You're awake! How grand.' or the like. Still, nitpick and not at all worth editing for. Rest of it is spot on. I'm looking forward to more. Also, deadpan Skully is the BEST Skully. *bouncing energetic Pinkie Pie* *deadpan response from Skully*

And then Mulder was a green pony, this got to be amazing xD

Despite Scully's disdain for pony naming conventions I'm sure she and Twilight are going to get along. I mean, as soon as Scully get's it into her head that "magic" in this setting follows actual rules I'm sure she'll accept it. Twilight Sparkle uses a specialized science she calls magic, and like Scully she has little use for superstitious nonsense.

>disdain for superstition>automatic belief in prophecy in the first episodeYou know, I never did quite get that.But yeah, seriously, I dug the fuck out of the Pinkie-Scully contrast you had going there for a little bit.

Scully and Twilight Sparkle…oh man, I sense friendship in the making. Two scientists, both level-headed and rational/logical minded. Yeah, this will be a fun story to readI do like the color choice you gave for Mulder, though I wasn't expecting it. When I think of it…green and aliens…Mulder and UFOs…it all fits. Great first 3 chapters here, looking forward to what awaits our two favorite FBI agents.

"Scully, we're not in Florida anymore."You know, I don't care if this is a goofy setup or what, this is a lot of damn fun. I cannot stop smiling as I read, and I can't wait to see where this goes!One question: What color is Scully? I'm not sure if I glanced over it or if it just wasn't mentioned.One suggestion: Remember that Mulder's a bit of a wiseass. Seeing Scully in such obvious disbelief of her surroundings, he's got to have a little fun at her expense.

Scully's coat is a peach colour.Need MOAR of this brony, it's just too delicious. I only casually watched X Files when it was on over a decade ago – thanks for making me feel old – you've hooked me with this; bravo!

There's more, right? There has to be more! Where is it? Where are you hiding the rest?C'mon, gimme, gimme, gimme!Pleeeeeaaaaaase!Ok, some constructive feedback. Never was a real fan of the show, got to silly for me, but this seems to be fun. Didn't think it would be this much fun, actually, or I would have read the story earlier.You've got great characterization. Only unbelievable thing is that Pinkie hasn't somehow given the game away by saying something completely innocent except that it's not when put into context. Because that really is her schtick. Hope you do something with her in there.

MLP meets the X-Files? Dear lord, what next? How long before we get "MLP meets the Diniverse Justice League"? We could have Nightmare Moon actually be the Ponyverse version of Parallax, and she mind controls/possesses someone like Supes, and the ponies have to rescue him, and… XD
