...you're still here? Okay, what if I told you it was written by GaPJaxie?
Author of I Forgot I Was There?
Kuda did, not just that cover art, but art for I believe every single chapter?
Which, by the way, I think I've preread up to Chapter 11 or 12? And Chapter 1 (both parts combined) weighs in at a modest 18k? And yes, that means regular updates?
And that it's not merely a Bioshock crossover, or a sprawling [Dark]/[Adventure], but an impressive and engaging deconstruction of a character—familiar yet foreign—faced to confront perturbing aspects of equinity, of a society removed from Equestria, of herself?
...why are you...
Would you kindly read this story?

Disclaimer: Me, of all people, forgot to mention this, but if you have it filtered, you probably already figured out: this is mature-rated. Nothing gratuitous—everything I've encountered is there for good reason—but there's some heady topics. Ye be warned. FWIW, I generally find myself squeamish on these topics, but have found it worthwhile to proceed.
A man chooses, a slave obeys. I've got some sonnets to work on
879246 Aye, ye've got a point, me friend. There's not a pencil around with as great a point as that.
And as a famous-ish man once said, a pencil's got no point until you've given it one. So, you my friend, have given yourself a point.
[Dark]/[Adventure] you say? Well, by golly, those are my two favorite genres.
So help me, Pav, if this isn't literally the best story of all time I'll be pissed. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go start reading this fic with unreasonably high expectations.

...
Finally got around to reading it or at least starting to, and I'm enjoying it so far. Definitely better than most of the grimdumb that seems to pervade the ponyfiction war machine. I'm looking forward to reading more of it, and future updates. Given what Pav has told me, I'll be very interested to see where it goes.
SO SAYETH THE GREAT ALEXMAGNET!
