Here's the result.

Please write a short paper on fanfiction crossover between the "My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic" and the "Warhammer 40k" universes.

Fanfiction crossovers can be an exciting way to blend different fictional universes together, creating new and unique storylines that can capture the imaginations of fans from both worlds. One particularly interesting crossover that has emerged in recent years is the blending of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Warhammer 40k universes.

On the surface, these two universes might seem like unlikely bedfellows. My Little Pony is a colorful and cheerful world of magical ponies and whimsical adventures, while Warhammer 40k is a dark and gritty science-fiction universe filled with war, destruction, and terrifying alien races. However, with a bit of creativity and a willingness to stretch the boundaries of both worlds, fans have been able to create stories that bring these two very different settings together.

One of the key ways that writers have merged these two universes is by placing the ponies of My Little Pony into the grim and dark world of Warhammer 40k. In these stories, the ponies must navigate the brutal realities of a universe torn apart by war, learning to adapt to new technologies, and fighting against terrifying alien races. Meanwhile, the Warhammer 40k characters must come to terms with the unexpected presence of these colorful equines, learning to work alongside them and rely on their magical abilities to survive.

The combination of these two universes can create some truly epic and imaginative storytelling. For example, stories might involve a group of ponies who find themselves stranded on a war-torn planet, banding together with a group of Space Marines to fight off waves of enemy attacks. Alternatively, a story might focus on a group of Warhammer 40k characters who are transported to the world of Equestria, where they must come to terms with the unusual new environment and learn to adapt to their new equine forms.

While this crossover might seem a bit outlandish at first glance, it's clear that there is a strong community of fans who have embraced this fusion of worlds. By blending the cheerful world of My Little Pony with the dark and foreboding universe of Warhammer 40k, writers and fans alike have been able to create something truly unique and exciting. Whether you're a fan of one or both of these universes, there's no denying that the combination of the two can lead to some truly memorable storytelling.

This answer is a shockingly adequate article, considering it got written within 5 seconds. Perfectly natural writing and factually correct.

Elaborate on some of the most prolific authors in that particular subgenre.

There are many talented authors who have contributed to the My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k crossover subgenre of fanfiction. Here are just a few of the most prolific and well-known writers in this space:

  • Pen Stroke - Pen Stroke is one of the most well-known and respected writers in the My Little Pony fanfiction community. He has authored several popular stories that blend the world of My Little Pony with the Warhammer 40k universe, including "The Last Son" and "A New Age". Pen Stroke's writing is known for its vivid characterizations, immersive world-building, and creative storytelling.

Pen Stroke is indeed prolific with 38 stories, some with a very high word count, with his most popular story probably being "Past Sins" (202k words).
For comparison: The average science-fiction novel is about 90k to 120k words.
However, I could neither find the stories "The Last Son" nor "A New Age". Looks like he is hiding something.

  • Wanderer D - Wanderer D is another popular author in the My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k crossover space. He is best known for his story "The Eversleep", which tells the tale of a group of ponies who must survive a journey through a dangerous Warp storm. Wanderer D's writing is characterized by its rich descriptions, strong character development, and attention to detail.

Again, very prolific indeed, and he delivered a pure 441k word monster of a story (still incomplete, lol) which plays in the grim dark universe where humanity knows only war: The XCOM - Enemy Unknown universe.
He failed to put "The Eversleep" on fimfiction, which is probably his only entry in the W40k genre, however.

  • Chris - Chris is the author of "Ponies of the 41st Millennium", a fanfiction that follows the adventures of the Mane Six as they navigate the treacherous world of Warhammer 40k. Chris's writing is notable for its blend of action and humor, as well as its creative use of the ponies' magical abilities.

Chris has 21 highly regarded short stories to his name, none of which is called "Ponies of the 41st Millennium".
However, there is a story called "Pony Tales from the 41st Millennium from ProfCharles, which at least explains where chatGPT got it's inspiration from.
Sadly I am not familiar with his work.

  • Sali - Sali is the author of "Friendship is Magic in the 41st Millennium", a fanfiction that imagines what would happen if the ponies of Equestria were transported to the universe of Warhammer 40k. Sali's writing is characterized by its imaginative use of the two universes, as well as its strong characterization and attention to detail.

I have no idea how Sali is, since he both evades Fimfiction and Google.
The Holy Orders of the Emperor's Inquisition must have been very thorough in purging this particular heretic. And who am I to judge the Inquisition?

  • Emperor - Emperor is the author of "Ponies and Chainswords", a fanfiction that brings together the worlds of My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k in a unique and creative way. Emperor's writing is known for its engaging action scenes, vivid descriptions, and immersive world-building.

By now it should be clear that chatGPT is merely guessing. But Emperor is a pretty good guess for a W40k author. Who doesn't think "Emperor of Pone" or something like that, given the topic. But no:
44 highly rated short stories, nearly all about Trixie, but no Warhammer in sight.
But boy, I would be lying if "Ponies and Chainswords" wasn't an awesome name for a fanfic. Or a whole damn website dedicated to Ponyhammer 40k!

These authors are just a few of the many talented writers who have contributed to the My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k crossover subgenre of fanfiction. Their work is a testament to the creativity and passion of the fanfiction community, and serves as an example of the limitless storytelling possibilities that can be unlocked by blending different fictional universes together.

Without context, this part is perfectly fine.

But since I have a personal bias and missed mention of my favorite author, I had to prompt the AI about him!

You forgot about the best one: SFaccountant!

I apologize for the oversight in my previous response. SFaccountant is indeed a very prolific and well-known author in the My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k crossover subgenre of fanfiction. His story, "The Iron Horse" is a popular and highly-regarded work that blends the world of My Little Pony with the universe of Warhammer 40k.

"The Iron Horse" follows the adventures of Twilight Sparkle and her friends as they are transported to the world of Warhammer 40k, where they must fight alongside the forces of the Imperium to defend against the forces of Chaos. The story is known for its engaging plot, well-written action scenes, and imaginative use of the two universes.

SFaccountant is also the author of several other My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k crossover stories, including "The Revenant", "The Shattered Hopes of Harmony", and "Fighting is Magic". His writing is characterized by its strong characterizations, creative world-building, and attention to detail.

Once again, I apologize for the oversight in my previous response, and I hope this updated information is helpful.

For those who don't know: SFaccountant is the author of the the Iron Hearts series, which spans 5 books, ranging between 120k to 266k words each.
He continues to write gigantic books in his universe and they are both exciting, incredibly funny, full of high stakes without being unnecessarily mean-spirited. His total MLP/W40k library is well over a million words by know, and it's not the only stuff he writes.

And now I am angry with him because he wrote "The Iron Horse", "The Revenant", "The Shattered Hopes of Harmony" and didn't post it on fimfiction. Traitor!

Also , "Fighting is Magic".


In conclusion:
Writing this short fun articles took me well over an hour. Maybe two with the surface level research.
Writing the bullshit that I debunked with my own words took me maybe 10 seconds. And If I didn't have some (very) niche background knowledge, I wouldn't have been able to see the nonsense for what it was.

ChatGPT is frightingly good. Not at providing useful information, but at convincing you that it has.
Expect 80% of all online communitation and articles to be some AI generated shit of varying quality in the near future.
We will be bombarded with inane conspiracy shit and you will find thousands of articles that seemingly provide legitimacy.

The Internet will become even more shittier than now, before it gets better.

Anyway, that's all.
Cheers!

7802920 I'm impressed that the AI knows so much. Your post inspired me to ask AI about me.

Can you tell me about the My Little Pony fanfiction author named Bad Dragon?

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information about a My Little Pony fanfiction author named Bad Dragon because such an author does not exist.

"Bad Dragon" is actually a brand name for a company that produces a line of fantasy-themed sex toys. While it is possible that someone with the screen name "Bad Dragon" has written My Little Pony fanfiction, there is no well-known author within the fandom that goes by this name.

It's important to be cautious and mindful of what information you come across online, as it may not always be accurate or reliable. If you have any other questions about My Little Pony or fanfiction, I'd be happy to try and help!

Turns out, I don't even exist...

ChatGPT is frightingly good. Not at providing useful information, but at convincing you that it has.

The last bit is certainly true. It's annoyingly good at doing that. It is genuinely useful in some fields, including writing, as long as you go in with your eyes wide open and realise its limitations. I've had some fun working with ChatGPT to produce a ponyfic, and while nobody would call it great it's not totally terrible once you work with the bot to refine things. (As an aside, AI in the creative industries isn't going away. Artists taking a stance of "no AI art ever" are not going to like the future.) Critical thinking is about to become even more important, which when you look at what Twitter bots have done to serious discussion on that platform is... yeah. Sadly I agree that we're about to see a flood of AI-written articles with barely any human oversight, though frankly a lot of existing clickbait crap is no better.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh.
But always remember: "I think therefore I am." šŸ˜‰
And: "Don't google yourself!"

Unless you are just another chat-AI.

Besides, you can train it with all sorts of stuff.

Also: Did you find out about sharing your name with a dildo company just now and how does that make you feel? šŸ˜ƒ

Welp...

This answer is a shockingly adequate article, considering it got written within 5 seconds. Perfectly natural writing and factually correct.

It sounds like me, making up bullshit to my teachers in college.

However, with a bit of creativity and a willingness to stretch the boundaries of both worlds, fans have been able to create stories that bring these two very different settings together.

Suddenly anything is doable. Which is why fanfiction has a stigma to begin with. And this is coming from someone that loves fanfiction. You can make any story good by being a good writer, but any such story would butcher either universes to make them fit like a mad-scientist experiment. Which is why I like to write an alternate universe continuation to the series.

For example, stories might involve a group of ponies who find themselves stranded on a war-torn planet, banding together with a group of Space Marines to fight off waves of enemy attacks.

ChatGPT, unsurprisingly, has the same misconceptions people usually have of WH40K.

Space Marines are not normal people with super powers. They are the creation of a child that can't accept that any universe is more powerful than their own in any way whatsoever. What is the reaction time of any Astartes? Ponies are dead before they even noticed anything is happening. In fact, the Astartes themselves are more likely to shoot the ponies on sight. They don't typically care for civilians on their own side. More likely, they're stepping on the ponies while trying to aim their bolters, which is about how much any of them would care about any animal lost on the field. It's a 7ft dude moving faster than your eyes can see while inside a ridiculously strong and resilient power armor with all sorts of augmentations and carrying a 'machine-RPG-launcher-gun'. They only reason one of them would even see the ponies is because they are so aware of their environment. At least before they kicked the pony out of the way.

Alternatively, a story might focus on a group of Warhammer 40k characters who are transported to the world of Equestria, where they must come to terms with the unusual new environment and learn to adapt to their new equine forms.

What characters? Imagine a World Eater suddenly appearing in Equestria. He's either turning mad(der) or killing everything in sight until something finally stops him. Imagine a space hulk lands in Equestria. It's over within days. Any Imperial character that has enough understanding of what happened is going to immediately try to find ways to return. The amount of nonsense in what we would call normal life would be enough to drive them mad. They live in a universe where entire worlds have their population dedicated to fighting, building something, all the time. Otherwise it's just another human in equestria story, which isn't bad, necessarily, but WH40k becomes just an excuse.

Now Iā€™m curious.

Just read Iron Hearts.
CHAOS SPACE MARINES! Hello, New friends!
It's really fun.

And the reality is: chatGPT has correctly summed up the plot of many entries in that crossover.

You, know. Before I answer, I'm going to have a look.
I can't find the exact one, though.
