One of the things I rather enjoy about WECON is the fact it doesn't have nukes/balefire strikes.
That while their effect is known, none of the bayou hints at being from the strikes, but rather just time and the environment proper.
It makes it a far more intriguing locale compared to say Hoofington or other places that try and hinge on "We wuz nukclear important!!!!" to carry the background.
Instead it has the delightful feel that its important for the story, that its a place that exists, and is all the better for not trying to force a feeling of the place being special.

>>26771835
Not really sure it was a good idea for Alloy to agree to help out the stable. She's the only blacksmith for miles and if things go pear-shaped during the fight, Malice will have evidence of Alloy's work on every single corpse she finds. Also, all the creepy stablepones make me think that it's less "hey they're happy we're helping them out and more they're gonna throw Alloy to Malice as a bargaining chip and the barding is just a fallback plan.

This looks like stormy times for our lovable Forgepone, anons.

Shoulda just married Maly when she had the chance.

>>26772034
Alloy is having a bad time lately, and needs literally ANYTHING to focus her angst on. It's their decision to fight, and like Alloy and Grit said they don't have a whole lot of options available to them. They're not gonna just hand over their engineers, they can't leave, and just turtling up for another generation is "fine" but generally bothersome for a group that wants to expand. They need to try and fight for their lives.

So what actually happened to the Fisher was that Malice snuck up on him, chloroformed him and filled the water with fake blood capsules, then spirited him away to a shotgun wedding.

All to steal Alloy's lover in addition to the other things she inflicted on her. Oh the horror!


Also Grit totally forgot to mention how arousing their predicament was. For shame!

To the person asking id Better Days was good. Yes it fucking it. It's book three of what in now a chain of four related story's. the storyis being Mercants of Hope, Long Winter, Better Days, and Old Grudges.

As for better days, it is te more grounded for the fist three, with OG still early in it's writing. The characters are solid, with a nice mix of humor and drama. The MC in the story is easily repeatable, and her sidkick is both funny and lovable.

The spritebot will be used to relay the bloodbath of a slaughter that will be Stable 15, and Alloy will hear and become even more emotionally unstable.

Then Malice will somehow learn of Alloy's involvement in the resistance and come after her again.

Never forget

So Frozen Skies, tales from the mind of Fade.
Does he really have the ability to spare his thoughts?


Alright, so in the intro part I like the idea of him checking the watch for a tracker, only a few downsides there.
Its a mechanical watch, which means that it has a number of gems in it to be used as trackers, good thought. Down side is Fade has no apparent abiliy to detect magic. THus this now means he has spooky magic detecting powers from whatever took his past. Could be a very good deal.
Also, for hims to have done enough to be more than popping the back off also means he has a jeweler's kit and the eyes to see the small parts. Very impressive show from the resident hobo.

HIs inattentiveness is rather intriguing, since it means he is running on intuition frequently as opposed to having good attention to those talking. Could be a good way for him to get something hilariously wrong though in the classic loaded word sense of things.

So does Fade stay on his hinds a lot since he felt it worthy to mention switching to all terrain mode? Different people, different views on how they walk normally, much like pegasi walking versus flying as default.

Stealthy take downs are not his forte, at least not at this point. Better leave it to Wrenchy to chuck tools as weapons.

Blind fire LMG suppression, good choice, much better than the people who like having heads pop up to trade fire on hunkered down targets.I rather like that you are letting your military training for the taking over the world or at least sections of Alaska show through Legion of Doom.

A bit surprised you didn't have him using bounding fire when his rock became untenable instead of having Crafter and Bernard shoot in.

The combat itself was much more relatable this time Fade has a very different view in that he has done it so much he can keep a commentary rather than just deal and react to the events. Good way of showing his old handedness at combat versus the pegasi simulator smarts

>>26775668

So with that said, the Red Eye forces felt weak in comparison. Like outsmarting the AI in a videogame rather than actually intelligent. For a small part, they didn't have explosives or attempt other methods of flushing Fade out by out flanking him or even using magic given the number of unicorns. (Magic flashbang is all I'm saying)
Which makes it feel a bit to serene and simple for Fade in comparison to the stuff Snap goes through.
I can understand this being a design constraint, though I would like to know more about your thoughts on this.

Bisected vertically to exsanguinate in seconds.That's not exactly LMG level much closer to HMG or a very good set of rips from a GPMG.
intermediate rounds don't leave enough ragged tissue that can be bled from like that, nor create a bisecting effect, especially on the longness of a pony torso.

I don't really feel like Flow would've been killed by Fade's use of rocksmash. Fucked up with brain damage yeah, but it feels more like on one of the smashes he should just clenched his talons and popped a hole in her neck so she bleeds out. As is she would have a severe concussion, but people regularly go through worse than that.

Steel Ranger seems to want to put some pain onto the RE forces, wonder if she is at hand for the dislocated pony body parts or who?
However a cyclic minigun still feels out of place without the ammo stores on hand to reload. Would have felt more proper for her to be burping it than brrting.

Fade's concussion is a bit odd, was that more just playing around with enhanced hearing and dumping the LMGs or just the wear off of the combat high? Well handled though in presentation of him more just wanting some quiet than a dull throb.

So Fade is responsible for all the deactivated mines ponies are going to be finding in the wilderness? Well better than far north Cambodia I suppose.

Ebb as a captive is interesting, seems that Fade has done this before, would like to know more.

>>26775756
Specifically, does Fade take prisoners regularly?
Such that he has more of intent in ending hostilities efficiently by way of injury or incapacitation instead of making sure to kill all targets? Could be rather nice to have a character who's trait is ending a fight quickly, not necessarily always pulling mercy shots.

Snowball fights are so much more fun when you make a fort for your target, even more so when they find the igloo in progress is mine.

For Ebb to Fade in conversation, I am highly reminded of Romantically Apocalypse after having archive binged it a few threads back.
In fact Fade rather distinctly reminds me of the same level of conversations of Snippy with his asides.

The conversation itself is a good bit of worldbuilding, and I am quite curious what "Dome building freaks" is going to mean.Mentioning the towns and places now as things Fade is dimly aware of, then having Ebb tell more as needed is much better than Bernard being the wanderer that has seen all.Particularly as it gives the idea the world is much bigger than FOE's 60 miles.

As well, Ebb's reasoning and distaste for her comrades is refreshing, as it gives her the air of an ego, but not so much her being egotistical, especially as from the sounds of it she is rather justified with looking down on the dead.

Going through the conversation, she does seem to lead or know where Fade is going with things. This might be from plotting the section out so the conversation plays less with ehr reacting as the captive, though it could also be pointed that she kind of knows the answers to most questions so can answer off the cuff for them.

I'm curious if Fade will bluff being a Talon at some point to pull something off, this would be a good way to get the gang into or out of a situation easily.

Is Ebb going to be a fatalist? She seemed oddly ready and uncaring when mentioning some of the death lines, that she either accepted death already or it never bothered her.

>>26775647
Please explain this strangely cute thing, tofu.

>>26775861
When Fade is pulling the rope out, what were his plans? Did he already intuit that he would need to lead Ebb back and so the conversation at that point was just perfunctory? Or did he have an alternate plan?

For Ebb and the radio, is this a reference to the radio set with the sniper, or do RE forces have smaller sets with range?

Now that the group is known to RE forces, is there going to be an alicorn stalking them looking for the group that Nosedive the plasma cannon pone was with?
At some point I expect them to put together and mark Snap Roll and Tail Winds, if only because they were shot down pegasi that the alicorn was interested in.

Absolutely livid Alloy shouting "I object!" at their wedding and flipping a coin to see which one she should choose when?

>>26776950
Indeed it does.

so just shooting out for some opinions.

working on an outline for a story and since I'm having a decidedly nuetral evil steel rangers, and with it being set after the first story where the enclave collapsed I was thinking of putting in a remnant of the pegasi enclave that were very much on the side of lawful/chaotic good with a very clear motive of helping the wasteland 'heal' by assisting settlements and other non-evil things

any particular thoughts on this idea pitch?

>>26777505
What specifically do you mean by Enclave?
The actual military part?

>>26777505
Sounds new

How are they planning on assisting the settlements?
Seeing as they're Enclave remnants and not defectors (who got pardoned and made up the pegapones who grew a conscious and wanted to help the wasteland), what's the reason they aren't defectors, still hold on to the Enclave ideology, AND want to help? How do they help without resources?

>>26775668
>>26775756
>>26775861
>>26775898

Man, you know, I put a lot of thought into things as far as I can tell, and... you look a lot past that conscious thought a lot of the time. It's not a bad thing, just... ehh, it's definitely interesting seeing some of the conclusions. As per norm, I'll aim to clarify without actually spoiling anything.

Fade walks on two legs a lot of the time, Snap'n'Tail typically fly, unless terrain is odd.

Unfortunately, bounding fire typically works a lot better in fireteams. I am super glad his own sort of experience showed here, that was a very active goal on my part.

But on the note of the military training, I am making... a bit of a point, with these chapters, and admittedly, the next. There are phases in combat that are often glossed over in stories - in part because of sheer fucking wordcount goddamn, but some fantastic things happen in those phases that often fall through the cracks. I've been attempting to actively highlight them. Recce, battle planning, staging the battle, (...). Won't happen all the time, it is a serious word commitment going through every stage of combat, but it's happening here, because story points lined up particularly well with each phase.

Oh, on that note, this is also a bit unusually dense as far as the paralogues go, so soon after the Crafter Chapter. Just sorta ended up this way.

>Red Eye forces felt weak in comparison
Well, I'm sure Belmor is gonna run with that comment. I guess it ain't the same as a spoiler, but they were pretty much out of explosives after fighting the rangers, and they were gonna be pulling out after another night in the field. Magic flashbangs are... well, I'm gonna go with overly convenient. This group is expendable, they all knew it. They had a job, they did it. Didn't matter that the Rangers wasted half of 'em, what mattered was that the Rangers lost as much as they did - any extra "destabilization" was a bonus. (cont)

>>26777566
a general combination of military soldiers, noncombat officers along with scientists and medical officers.

>>26777579
I haven't worked out the fullest details of how they assist settlements. I'm imagining in terms of resources they're using whatever undamaged good and tech that wasn't lost when everything collapsed to help settlements become more capable of sustaining themselves.

as for the how they can still hold the ideaology and want to help? Well I'm kind of leaning heavily toward them referring to themselves as Enclave in name only (actually somewhat planning to have everyone in dialogue refer to the faction as "new enclave.")

Basically what I had in mind was that after pip took control of the S.P.P and took control of the sky a combination of battle fatigue due to being forced to gun down some civilians during the battle at fillydelphia and the whole being lied to and alienated by their superiors in the higher up partso f the government led to them retreating to spend a few months hiding out in an MoP medical clinic/Hub thing. researching about that particular ministry plus seeing how wastelanders aren't a bunch of filthy creatures are inspired to act with the intended goal of not "saving" the people of equestria but to help healing the wasteland by not being dick and just helping who ever needs the help.

tl:dr they're like if the enclave decided fluttershy is best pony

>>26777926
>a general combination of military soldiers, noncombat officers along with scientists and medical officers.
Right, so you're talking about a competent group who were aware of the surface conditions pre-Pip.
I asked because I always thought that some of the pegasus public being sympathetic would be a given.
I think it sounds doable. A huge upheaval can cause any group to fracture.
The only thing I think needs an explanation is how they pulled it off. Finding fellow 'traitors' and coordinating leaving is usually difficult.

>>26775756
>>26775861
In addition, I attempted to somewhat highlight the individuals that stood out, at least a bit, because there were varying levels of experience at play. Also, gotta bear in mind that they were 100% expecting AM rounds incoming on Fade's position as of the start of that combat. That pause near the beginning? Yeah. Thanks, Snappy. Because of her, Fade wasn't paste, and was able to do what he did. In addition, there was the recce, and the battle prep. I would argue that Snap placed her troops exactly where they were needed to break this position, and it was *still* as hard as it was.

>bisected
Well, there's some elaboration on Fade's part. But still, when you take ~15-25 rounds of 5.56mm to the midsection, there ain't a whole lot left once those hit and tumble, especially in the sense of the pony anatomy - and him getting hit broadside, where there's pretty much just meat until you hit spine. Two pieces? Nah, but there wasn't a whole lot left regardless.

>cyclic minigun
Not her only weapon, and she's a ranger, they got spares. She was planning for a short patrol, the last time the party saw her.

>concussion
Ehh, not so much. Dunno how much I want to talk about that, and how much to leave, so I'll err on the side of "It wasn't the gunfire that brought that on, but the combat itself." So yes, wear off of combat high, but... unusual, even in that regard.

>prisoners
Well, combat is won by neutralizing the enemy. Not necessarily killing. He is as aware of this as anyone else, just takes his own route to get there.

>"Bubble Erecting bitches"
Shields. Alicorns. Perhaps a bit too colloquial, but after "Mr Conjuncitivitis" it seemed to work.

Glad you bring this up, I'm happy it worked out pleasantly, the experience bit and worldbuilding. Hopefully some decent indicators of things to come. Was actually the primary argument for doing this paralogue, though the combat and Ebb characterization were also quite important.

>>26775861
>>26775898
Ebb has... an interesting worldview. Not gonna touch that one.

Romantically Apocalyptic is the fuckin' bomb.

Knowing where Fade's going with things, or playing along in an attempt not have certain threats followed up on? But yes, she has a sort of pride. She's the type of person not particularly inclined to beg for her life. Depending on who caught her... ehh, it'll come up. I should stop there.

>Fade pulls out rope
Man, if Fade thought about things beforehand, he'd have realized he had rope instead of cutting up her barding to tie her with it, leading to the whole mess of him having to deal with the aftermath of that particular action.

>Radio
That was one thing that Snap simply didn't have the numbers or time to take out - there was a two pony detachment, an observation post that Tail found. They had the only radio.

Bearing that in mind, I do wonder what exactly that observation post saw before bugging out... Only time will tell, I suppose. But yeah, a report, at least, went out.

And as I read through, it does seem you caught the tense use of singular alicorn. Heh.

Er, backtracking, and the Fade-rocksmash... well, Flow died to a Bernard round to center-of-mass on top of the rock. Think you mean the Earth pony Ebb was with... Well, it seemed at least a little cinematic at the time, to be honest. Not a whole lot more thought than that, and it was a catchy line.

I tried not to miss things, and also keep this concise-ish, as it's time for bed. But ah... yeah. I'm super glad to see a comment like this. As always, I'm so torn with wanting to say things, and have erred on the safe side. Even when some of them would be technically speculation on my part. So fuckin' weird, in my position.

The Enclave soldiers who decided not to attack the Wastelanders were shot down by the rest. It would be very hard to justify them having a group that could do much when they were in the minority among Pegasi anyway, and the entire Enclave suffered from the sky opening.

>>26777505
>with a very clear motive of helping the wasteland 'heal' by assisting settlements and other non-evil things
Fuck off. All Enclave soldiers were assholes, and all the civilians were clueless.

>>26779015
They canonically had a civil war over that issue not long after Pip opened the sky. I think it's quite clear that others who shared those opinions existed, biding their time/not actively doing anything until the point that it became clear that sides were being chosen, and that a lot of the civilian populace was on the side in favour of making peace with the ground.
>>26779381
Incredibly mature. Societies are virtually never that black and white, even totalitarian ones.


I think the idea has promise, but as with most dealing with this topic, needs to be handled rather carefully. As an entire group (dunno how large you plan for them to be) being well known enough to be called "New Enclave" would seem difficult to me, on simply the account of scale. They can't be all that big, to hide out in a single MOP building. In addition, their mindset makes me think they would try and distance themselves from what they were. "Enclave" is inherently isolationist, by the nature of the name, and it seems to me like most groups would want to change that, especially with that kind of outlook.

Aside from that... you referred to alignments for groups, and I get where you're coming from... but it's a bit of a trap to blanket describe groups on a moral standpoint. I feel you end up hamstringing individual characters with traits of the group whole, rather than letting their own biases show through individually. Just my stance in things, and I'm sure you plan to elaborate further anyways.

>>26779714
The name might work if all groups of non-hostile pegasi are being collectively referred to as New Enclave, as opposed to one specific group.

>>26779381
So the US with regards to most of the places its dealt with?

That's part of why I decided to do reviews and editing. Also because I wish to help people achieve their goals.

Interesting thoughts.

I rather enjoy the work for those reasons. Too many times its just "and then whiz bang boom she shot them all dead with her super gun." Not enough showing that you can achieve that with coordination and preparation.

Belmor must be fed ideas, ideas of pain lament, and milk steaks.
I mean having thought over it, your explanation is good, they got sloppy at the end expecting Steel Rangers over anyone else, got hit by a peer to superior force that planned and took the initiative while engaging them in small groups without allowing them to reform and use their numbers to the advantage.
Rather good small units tactic for how to ambush an ambush and move forward.

That's probably the other part is that an effective plan that doesn't run into unexpected situations results in the enemy feeling weak in the same way a well executed ambush will remove their threat potential.

>>26778014
Oh wrong side, I read it as being nostrils to clavicle/belly bisection, not barrel bisecting. I was expecting their to be much more bone and structure in the way to make more of a pulpy but intact mess.
NVM.

Eh, as I said if they got the means, it works, if not...

Ooh mysteries. This is getting good and intriguing now.

Much preferred to the majority of stories where combat only ends in corpses and "untouched" protagonists.

I was expecting it to be something like "Under the Dome" or weather modification by RE forces in pursuit of their agenda in the north.Thought bigger than a shield since well, its a shield. Still works, i was just expecting something grand from small words.

Indeed, you have a very well developed story, and I am quite pleased that it doesn't feel like it relies on other works to achieve that or references to real life areas.

Yes bit then he would have to deal with leaving her bound with the rope or getting close to her to get it back. Using her supplies makes more sense in that regards.

Radio is an oft missed part in stories to acheive this plan of yours. Too many people just use it for "See how great my character is, they're on the radio! Totally not 3dog either.
Need to have more characters using normal transmitters as an answer to getting and receiving info.

Ah, shame could have had sisters to do something useful, like check his watch for bugs or practice throwing them by their horns until he is a master at unicorn darts.
And it was a good line, also still an effective method if incapacitation, especially if they come to and realize you're still around, they would stay down frequently.
Yay martial arts practice, useful for knowing what its like to be beaten up repeatedly.

You've pretty much described the final scenes of Full Metal Jacket there.

I guess it could translate well enough into an FOE fic for cheap feels and drama. Just imagine your average group of protagonists being cut down, one by one by a hidden sniper, harrowing choices for the average lesbian unicorn leader to try and save her friends or leave them to die, and some sort of big moral dilemma at the end when the sniper is finally cornered and revealed to be just a filly or colt or whatever.

Aight, reasonable point, but lets step this back a bit: 1) Was he actually cut in two? No. 2) Was it clear that a high degree of violence was done upon him, rendering him messily dead by its conclusion? I feel the answer is "yes," but that would be the point to dispute.

>>26790191

>>26790379

>>26790379
That's part and parcel when it comes to Fallout period, anon. Excessive violence and gore to the point of comedy.

Remember the original Fallouts? Dismemberment, disintegration, melting, it's all on the list.

>>26790396
Its also an excellent reason to leave Talons with 50 mm chainguns and replace their bivouac kit with its wait in explosives.
All hail the powers of sufficient boom!

>>26790379
Yeah. I got so annoyed when Fade crushed a pony skull few pages earlier. And don't forget the mandatory mention of "sticky stuff" for brain matter!

Gore for the sake of gore.

>>26790535
Well that's part of what I was complaining about. LoD writes very top notch stuff, but the goretable seems out of scope for what they are doing.
It should have a lot more survived but incapacitating injuries that leave ponies out of it, to come to later.
Would also give a better reason for them to go corpse looting as they go from body to body checking if it needs a bullet or restraints to protect themselves.

Also because kills everyone is getting really boring, it'd be more interesting for the grey of the heroes leaving some of their enemies to survive in exchange for info or their supplies.

Ebb is a rather good case of this, and I hope there are more as it goes on.
They don't have to be named, just have it made clear that in exchange for their lives they give some gear and go away.

Its really grating in a lot of fics that do this, particularly ones where the enemy fights to the death, instead of trying to negotiate their survival, particularly in situations where they're captured and have an "impending death" tag.


I mean I get the idea of leave nobody who could hurt you, but especially in real life, actual total deaths are rather uncommon in firefights for large groups. Its much more common to kill or incapacitate a majority, and the rest capitulate. Sometimes just a few if you make a big show of it.
Could be interesting to hear an ethics discussion in the group of what to do about a group of RE forces that wishes to surrender, but it could be faking, and at the same time they would still be a potential threat even just running away to pick up arms later or provide info.

By the way, I recently thought of a way for the show writers to reference Fallout: Equestria while still staying TV-Y, inspired by this fanfic:
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/274531/fallout-equestria-tv-y

Basically goes like this: the mane6 play a tabletop role-playing game or a board game with features similar to that of Fallout. The backstory of said game is that instead of a war over resources, the conflict is a result of ponies shipping all of their garbage over to the zebra lands.

The zebras don't like the ponies using their country as a garbage dump and start flinging it back at them with catapults or something. The ponies retaliate by flinging more of their garbage at the zebras is until eventually both their respective countries are covered in garbage, some of which is so putrid and foul smelling that it causes anyone who catches a whiff of it to go catatonic. Because of this, many sought refuge in underground shelters with air purifiers to keep the smell out.

Anyone traveling outside carries with them gas masks so the smell won't affect them. Due to the anarchy that arose after both Celestia and Luna had been rendered catatonic when Canterlot was hit with the largest load of garbage, many ponies have banded together to form gangs and steal from ponies using flung rotten fruit as weapons.

Each of the Mane 6 appears in the imagined game world as themselves but dressed up in a similar fashion to characters from Fallout.

So, what does /foe/ think?

>>26790982
I mean I could see like:

Bernard wants to kill them all, he believes that in the Wasteland, having enemies is bad for your health. As well, survivors could talk, and if dead they really can't complain about looting.

Crafter would say that the evil ones should die, but those impressed or drafted should be allowed to go free. That since he knows some ponies deserve to die, he's a bit more for killing them.

Fade is surprising and thinks they should be let go after taking their weapons and some tribute.
He'd think that showing mercy is a good way to get some yourself amongst the more organized groups.

Snap and Tail would be looking at it from a military point, that its better to stop the threat and move on, not really caring in particular who lives or dies amongst their enemies.
I could also see them getting a bit more violent and revengancey if they think the group has something to do with attacks on the Enclave, but may also want some live captures to find out what went on in the past, regardless of the particulars or deserving fate of the capture.

>>26791004
DESU, that sounds more like something IDW would put in the comics.

>>26790982
Well we haven't seen any of their after action stuff, why are we jumping to this conclusion. In fact we got to see a brief snippet of Snap doing what looks like triage.

Where?

Want to write a story about a Zebra who is high as fuck all the time on drugs and goes on mercenary jobs that no one takes to pay for his progressively worsening drug addiction. Somehow he succeeds on killing all the raiders he can get his hoof on, but in the end spends his bits on copious amounts of drugs.

How would you guys think of this story?

>>26793714

>>26793751
Disposable mercs for suicide missions.

I stopped writing because I have no real motivation to do so. I stopped constantly checking up on the threads because I know n+1 if you don't want me around and its just easier to give it a skim and then move on with my life.

I don't want to say I've abandoned Treasure Hunting. I want to finish, it's just that the solid written notes I had down were up to roughly where I wrote to. Past that I have notes, but they're all loosely organized and don't have the same level of detail as the previous ones. The biggest thing stopping me was the struggle to make sure the character motivations of the 'Queen' who was introduced at the end of chapter 26 lined up with the bigger picture, with where the story that Hidden hasn't been made aware of yet is going.

I wrote up a big intro scene for it, but I really didn't like it so I scrapped it. I've written another, but I'm finding it really hard to keep the motivation to move forward. And trust me, I feel guilty about this; especially with the EqD post.

Ignoring that a part of the fandom doesn't like me, I just feel like I'm enjoying MLP a lot less. (Seeing the promo for season 6 felt like a shark jump to me) I think I'm moving away from pony as a whole. Coupled with my job, and streaming, and everything else? Writing just fell down on the priority list.

Sorry, I guess.

That sucks, This is why I try to make my Story's something I can finish. Granite Dance of the Orthrus has ended up far bigger then I have anticipated, but fuck it, I just brot 1984 into Fallout Equestia.

But ya, if Hnetu did quit, then it feels like reading T.H. was a bit of a wast of my time. Still good story, even if the 101 pony was bullshit.

>>26795005

How was Saccharin bullshit? Please elaborate.

>>26794668
Newfag alert: who the hell is this mutant tentacle pony?
Also, how is Anywhere But Here? I read the first few chapters, then ran out of material to read. Saw it updated. Is it worth jumping back into?

>>26795078
the problem is not so much with the character, but with how she is introduced. Simply HF is turning into pony jerky from the leges up, and they so happen to find a 101 pony, with all her supplys, and inside a medical building that still works.

I know I know, Hnetu didn't want to go the blackjack rout with the cyberpony bits. But she already had a character that could do cybernetics. The 101 pony would have been fine if she had been introduced a few chapters before, as we alredy knew that HF was going to get more cyberized do to the shakels she had on.

It all just made me bang my head on the wall over it. Next thing is that they need a supergun to help kill the slaver leader, and a space craft falls in front of them, and they get the alien baster. It felt like that.

>>26795389

Okay, yeah. I can totally see the problem with it there. I know I sound like a broken record but I'd sort of written myself into a corner... I spent a dozen chapters slowly building up with distant aching getting worse and worse with Hidden's legs and by the time I was ready to deal with it...

I did it in a fairly piss poor way.

On the bright side. There's not going to be any super guns. The only other weapons Hidden and Lost will get have either A: already been mentioned in other ways, or B: are related to stuff that's been brought up; but will be woefully impractical to use offensively.

Amble's defeat will be symbolic, rather than just a gunshot to the head though. And no alien blaster, I find the alien stuff in both Fallout and FOE to be absolutely terrible, so don't worry about it showing up in my story. Ever.

You know, that's actually one of my pet peeves as well.

As a result, I feel a bit bad about the excessive gore comment. To be completely honest, there were... well, I guess secondary reasons for the gore in those two instances, mostly characterization for Fade, and the eventual foil of Snap's reaction to its retelling. Physics were probably stretched somewhat to accommodate.

I do have final say in how our story works, so it isn't a valid cop-out, but... ech.

I wanna comment more, because in essence I very much in fact agree with what you've said, but I suppose to do that I'll just have to get a move on writing.

Taint Fare is a mutant pony (not to be confused with a hospital horror). At one point he was a fairly normal pony. Due to sudden traumatic mutation, Taint Fare barely resembles a pony. Yet in a way he is fortunate, as he can still sense things around him via smell and echo-location. During his mutation, what was Fares eyes became a large, jelly-like mass in the center of his skull. This mass has a network of nerves and is sensitive to vibration. When he makes a clicking sound, the resulting echo is caught by his ears, his head-tendrils, and by the mass, giving him the shape of of anything around that his head is facing. The closer something is, the more defined the shape is to him. This leaves a brief imprint on his senses. Taint Fare can sense things rather clearly in enclosed spaces like buildings and caves due to the sharpness of echoes. Outside things are less defined. It should also be noted that the tendrils on Taint Fares head have olfactory senses as well as being sensitive to touch.

While Taint Fare has a ...mixed reputation in the particular part of the Wastelend where he lives, he is a hero and more to a filly who would have suffered a terrible fate to Raiders had he not arrived and stomped them down. Having lost her family to said raiders, Blossom now follows him around, watching what he does and imitating him. As for Taint Fare, he considers her as part of his herd, and cares for her as much as he is able to.

A) they may have a LOT of experience both in normal things and in the sack
B) they probably don't expect affection, and genuinely appreciate every snuggle
C) aside from radiation exposure, there isn't much danger of picking up something dangerous
D) they can't make you pregnant or get pregnant from you (Note: this doesn't count if the ghoul was already pregnant)

>>26798317
you know the funny thing, the original fallout 4, not the one Bethesta made, did have Ghouls born from other Ghouls. The offspring looked like any other ghoul, but lacked the decayed state of their parents, mening that they ere as capaple as a human, if not mote capable.

Truth be told, I want to bring that to Fallout Equestrian. Not early on in the big story I want to do, but I'm thning of having my main cast (after the fist book) go south, and and up in a ghoul city. It's still far off, but a fun idea.

Ground came too with a start, and felt the pressure on his wing, and holds on his fetlocks. The crowd was still holding him down, ready to take his wings off. He kicked and lashed out, desperate for a chance to get free. Metal cut into his legs when he kicked, his legs unable to move much, even less break the grip on them. Tears filled his vision as the pressure on his wings held, and blood began to fall from the grip.
This is it, I’m never going to fly again. They’re just going to rip me apart.
A sudden flood of cold water interrupted his struggles.
“Easy there, easy. You’re safe!” The sheriff buck slammed a hoof down for emphasis, sending the empty bucket into the air. The pegasus continued to hyperventilate, his eyes darting wildly around the room as he tried to make sense of where he was.
“You’re in jail bronco. It’s for your own protection. Guess you can tell my town doesn’t take too well to your kind around here.” The chains on Air Ground rattled as he tried to look at what had happened to him. The base of his left wing was bleeding from where he’d seen the knife flense his skin. His legs couldn’t take the weight and he dropped back to the mat he’d been laying on.
“Damn, busted Melina’s stitch work already? Heh, you’re a right mess now alright. Managed to crack your wing bone there before I could drive them off. Looks like they also tried making you into a hoofball beforehand.” Sheriff Knoll Hill brought his spotted brown head closer to the bars. ”Hey you can understand me right? You don’t speak some strange sky tongue?”
“Aether ademptus.” Ground looked at the floor, his eyes sinking as he tried to absorb what had happened to him. The sheriff blinked, unsure what to do about this development. “Ah, so uh, guess that’s a yes then. Mel-“

>>26802711
What the hell are you on about?

>>26802755
A technical truth.

Both fics do not touch or follow with the main fic, and are currently much smaller in scope compared to PH.

THis is not bad, and actually quite good.

>>26802755
>>26802775

what he said.

>>26802775
No, PH was solid in the beginning.
I considered it the only thing to be worth considering the sequel to the original at first.
But then Somber blew it for his narutos.

>>26802841
I am referencing his statement on Project Gangbang or PG as I like to call it.

The two fics that get wamboed together are solid and good, their issue is in that their continuity does not need the main fic to work.
Such is a good thing as it does let them develop on their own.

PH's curse is it fucked with the main fic early on and thus was bound to it.
Then it went off on its own for the animoos (TTGL best animoo) and fell for it.

I would say PH's issue was its significant change mid fic to get there, where ti would have been better served as two distinct fics.

Like have No-Oral_is_worth_Oral_Roberts die and close PH 1.
Her resurrection would then be the start of PH2, much like how the Mass Effect Series was done.

>>26802891
I'm pretty sure splitting PH into books would have just changed "stop reading at chapter 33" into "stop reading at the end of book one."

>>26802930

To be printed, PH would need some serious trimming but such trimming would make it awesome.

PH was always an edgy pile of angsty shit. Had a few decent ideas but they were all mashed together clumsily with a sprinkling of unnecessary and laughably bad attempts to make it 'emotional' which simply made blackjack into an angst lord, not that she wasn't already.

By the fourth shoehorned dramatic moment it went pretty stale, to the point where somber felt the need to draw on his inner weeb and spew anime bullshit all over it.

All PH was in the end was Somber's way of venting, its almost like a metaphorical incarnation of his personality.

On the argument that sticking to the original cannon may be restricting, I don't think that is such a bad thing, it just means you have to work with what you have. Maybe im just saying this because I'm a sucker for continuity, after all I despise fics that drastically deviate from the cannon of the original, and/or that of other sidefics but only the decent ones.
Personally I think anyone that thinks the FOE cannon is limiting is lacking in the creativity department.

Just to be clear i dont hate fics that deviate from the cannon, providing that they are doing it for a good reason. I consider the only good reasons to be: As a piss-take/satire/comedy like Duck and Cover luv u hoers bby and Being stated as Non-cannon from the get go and being upfront that it isn't trying to conform to original cannon.

tl;dr: PH a shit, stick to cannon unless you are Hoers.
