@Jykale,

As I understand it, this theory would have to require that Sunset is somehow a Special Snowflake, existing only in one world and travelling between the two worlds as her destiny requires.

Personally, I'm not sure that a Metaphysical Chosen One would work in the MLP universe, so I'm not a huge fan of this fan-theory myself.

My own head-canon is that human!Sunset is an orphan who ran away from her foster carers and, purely by luck, fell through the portal around the same time that pony!Sunset came through in the other direction. Celestia found her, quickly determined that she wasn't her runaway student and quietly resettled her somewhere where nopony knew Sunset Shimmer. She did this because Sunset made it clear that she had no desire to return to the human world on the grounds that she has no emotional ties there. She may have even magically changed her appearance.
