* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Very much so. The personalities of the ponies are slowly overriding the personalities of the people, in some cases without them even being aware of it.
* MistakenIdentity: To a mild degree. While the characters ''do'' look like the mane cast, they constantly reiterate that they are not; some people still treat them as though they were.

However, Twilight prefers herself to be referred to as that, as she believes it would be awkward if she was called by her real name.

There are a few snags, though. Not only are the transformed individuals scattered across the globe, but they're each slowly succumbing to their counterpart's mental processes. Combine that with the widespread fandom, the issues ponies have in a hand-based world, their own disparate personalities, and Discord's background actions, and you have a melting pot of crazy shenanigans and problems in the way of the meet-up. The pony population doubles with every day, and Rainbow Dash has been selected to be the chronicler of Discord's rise to power...

This is the shared setting of Becoming Ponies, an intriguing spin on the Ponies on Earth genre with multiple authors trying to tie it all together. Thus far, it seems to be a decent Alternate Reality experiment; [[http://www.facebook.com/erica.fluttershy Fluttershy's character has a fictional facebook page]], which influences the story itself, and events in any one story can reference and influence each other. Best of all, it's still brand new; while the princesses and the Mane Cast is all claimed, one merely has to apply with an unclaimed pony to join in.

* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Fluttershy's counterpart wears a hat and glasses.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Pinkie's counterpart. He argues that his "fingerbands" count as spats, but since they're on his forehooves...
* {{Fangirl}}: The Pinkie counterpart encounters three of them (and a guy). They follow him around. He's mostly cool with it.
* GenderBender: With the sole exception of Fluttershy, every member of the Mane Cast was originally male. Also applies to the Trixie and Octavia characters.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Very much so. The personalities of the ponies are slowly overriding the personalities of the people, in some cases without them even being aware of it.
* StepfordSmiler: The Pinkie counterpart seems to be denying, even to himself, that Pinkie is slowly overriding his personality.
* UnreliableNarrator: Pinkie Pie's counterpart is quite deliberately avoiding self analysis.
