''A Voice Among the Strangers'' is a WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic FanFic by Tystarr and can be found [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/95461/a-voice-among-the-strangers here]].
Jessica finds herself flung into a world she has little concept of. Everything is strange and new to her, but worst of all she cannot communicate with the native inhabitants. A world of monsters and sentient ponies, griffons and other assorted beasts is no place for a human girl.
How will Jessica cope? Without an understanding of their language how will she make her way in the world, will she even be able to ever communicate with them? Why was she even brought into the world and is there even a way for her to get home?
