Trixie + Doom = YES
well to be fair Trixie + Anything = YES
thumbs up for you
I tend to shy away from the obvious dark stuff, but I think I could get behind this one. It is Halloween, after all.
I really like how you've shown just how shell shocked Trixie is. The horrors she's seen and her unwillingness to relive them. Curious to see how she made it this far.
3395236
Yay !
I kinda feel bad for sending that poor Trixie through hell (in all senses), but she's the universe's punching bag in the show after all... Must be some bad karma.
3395528
I'm glad you decided to try it out, let's hope it doesn't get too much for you. At least everything's upfront here : we already know who gets to live through the story and since it's Doom we're talking about, there should be lots and lots of gore...
3396735
Trixie was simply a normal showmare who had the misfortune,
Of comming across the worst town in equestria,
Every pony who was mean to her deserves a rusty potato,
shoved through their left hoof,
But most of all that demon of a pony
*Says this next part with a hiss*

Before ANYTHING else: stop putting spaces between the punctuation signs and the words that come right before them. Doing that is terrible formatting.
That said, it's a rather solid narrative so far. I'm hooked for sure.
3400684
Sorry about that, I'm just following the rules for french typography. I don't even do that consciously, it's a reflex when I type, force of habit and everything... The extra spaces are supposed to be non-breaking ones, too, but I haven't found a way to get that to work, either in google docs or here. (I also have a hard time figuring out how capitalization works in english, in fact)
Anyways, I'll try to force myself and remove all the extra spaces after I'm done with the next chapter. I hope you appreciate how much of an effort that is... You have no idea how wrong it looks to me to have punctuation without spaces!
Gah, this is so weird...
Aside from that, thanks for the fave.
3401076
I see. That's actually news to me. It reminds me of when I saw a narrative in English for the first time, because double quotes (") are used to represent thoughts in Portuguese; for spoken lines, you have to break the line and use a long dash (—) in the next paragraph. There's a lot more to it than that, but this is enough to give you the gist of it.
I can already tell it's going to be hard for you to get used to this, so I'm going to recommend you to get an editor, at least for now. Learning how to get rid of that habit for other languages would actually do you good in the long run, though: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Finnish, Afrikaans, Swahili, Mandarin Chinese, Esperanto... all other languages I know do not use that typographical quirk. It just gets ugly if you use it when writing them.
3401714
Yeah, French also uses the long dash and line break for dialogue, plus you open and close it with guillemets : « » . Quotation marks (" or ') shouldn't even be used in proper French typography... The first time I read a book in English I was completely confused trying to figure out what was going on with the dialogues.
Anyway, I think I'll keep typing the way I do and fix things with some find/replace all. That should work.
3401882 Language is so complicated...
Regarding the capitalization, I've seen absolutely nothing wrong thus far. Good job.
Mars City cafeteria?
On another page, that's perfect editing, buddy. I congratulate you with an upvote!
3403850
Yay ! Thanks.
Jeez, random teleportation spells found in dusty old books are not to be trusted. Shame on you, Trixie!
I'm also curious to know the significance of mustangs. You got me wondering if Trixie is a relative to Peachbottom.
Anyhoozle, looks like things take a turn for the worse next time. I'll be there!
3405815
No relation. I mostly think of the mustangs as nomads, traveling all the time and never settling down. They're Equestria's gypsies
Another great addition.
Definitely do more, buddy! This is the very first Doom crossover that is so thorough in worldbuilding on this site, and I'm loving Trixie's hijinks in Mars City.
You're just suffering from an unfortunately common illness of this stie, one we call lack of recognition.
Epic
3417915>>3419101
Thank you !
3417946
Are there a lot of Doom crossovers anyway ? The only one I read was this one and it's pretty good, but more of a parody. I'm trying to go for a really dark tone here. It's something I've always loved in Doom 3, the atmosphere is really horrible while the classic games were mostly "fun with guns" (which was cool, but in a different way).
I do love worldbuilding
Lack of recognition unfortunately happens all the time and not just on this site. Guess it's something we all have to get used to, unless we're the lucky one who gets all the attention... Anyways, if I look at the ratio of likes or faves by views, this is officially the best story I've written ! I'll probably keep going, at least to the point where things become bloody. Normally, that should be the next chapter...
3419763 ... but why would you stop writing just when things start getting good?
If creativity's the problem, I don't mind helping.
If you're interested, PM me!

It's just kinda depressing to write something that (almost) nobody will read...
Before I wrote fanfic here I've tried writing other stuff and sometimes got absolutely no feedback/comment at all. Seriously, it's really horrible to spend time working on something and then have no one even bothering to tell you that it sucks. It makes you feel like you don't even exist...
The last multi-chapter story I've written had about 8 people following it and only one commenting regularly. It was hard to keep writing, knowing that only a small handful of guys were going to take the time to read my stuff... I think I only went through with it because it was relatively short overall. I guess it was worth it in the end : I (mostly) like how the story turned out and the few who read it seemed to have enjoyed it, but it was still really hard for me. Especially since my previous story had made it to the top of the feature box... and I still can't figure out why that particular one did. Was it Scootaloo ?
I dunno...
In any case, I've got 15 faves here. I seem to be making some progress, I've even got enough people for a rugby team now !
I suppose I will keep writing.
3420138 I know, dude, I know. I've written a crossover myself (I'm yet to transplant it to this site), and the lack of feedback is depressing, to say the least.
That said, one thing to keep in mind is that writing any sort of fiction is often a lonely affair. In the end and especially when it comes to fan fiction, you'll have to write because you want to, not because you're counting on feedback. More often than not, it's a side-effect.
3420162
Indeed... For some of the stuff that I've published here, I knew that I wouldn't get many readers. I was almost counting on it, actually. It makes me feel like a misunderstood artist
This story, however, is just for entertainment. I doesn't have much of a message...
Scratch that. I've just changed my mind. I'll make this deeper. That'll give me a good reason to continue.
Well, I've been enjoying your story so far and would like to see it continue. I haven't seen any major issues so far.
About the only criticism I can come up with in this part is that I felt the Trixie chase was drawn out a little too long. It's not really a biggie and I'm really just stretching here.
Knowing that Trixie makes it out alive lessens some of the tension but for all the others....
Keep at it!
3422346
I see. I'm not used to writing action stories (not that I'm an experienced author, but still...) so I need to find some kind of balance between action and non-action parts. Expect some trial-and-error here; hopefully it won't be too bad
I don't believe in signs. That being said, I was listening to the Doom 3: ROE soundtrack when I found this.
I am intrigued, and staying tuned.
3445259
We'll see what you believe in when I get 666 faves for this story... *insert creepy evil laugh* Thank you for your contribution, mortal!
Seriously, thanks
I really should have read this earlier because this is great. I've really enjoyed reading what you have done so far and am looking forward to more.
3585505
Cool ! You shouldn't have to wait too long, the next chapter is progressing very, very slowly, but it's getting close now. I really need to find a way to speed up my writing...
So, Trixie has a natural Grabber. That should even the odds quite a bit.
Also, by Trixie being sentient, you mean sapient. A sentient being feels; a sapient one thinks. That is not an error I see a biologist ever making.
3612652
The grabber works well on imps and lost souls, but that's about it. Other enemies don't give you convenient balls of plasma to send back in their faces. I don't remember using it a lot in RoE... Double shotgun all the way
According to wiktionary, sentient means "conscious or self-aware". For sapient, it says "(now literary or ironic) Possessing wisdom and discernment; wise, learned." Hmmm... Wikipedia agrees with you, though... I could just say "conscious" or "self-aware", too. Nah. "Sapient" sounds silly, I like it.
Nice juxtaposing the two parts to this chapter. The beginning is fairly fun, with Trixie and the humans figuring things out between each other in amusing ways. As soon as food we mentioned, I knew we'd be getting a few comments about meat.
I also like the idea that Trixie doesn't care where she is, just so long as she is adored and recognized. Because that's what her cutie mark is telling her.
Speaking of, I'm surprised they didn't talk about her butt symbol. I guess the magic blew their minds (before the demons did).
But then reality hits, and reminds me that this is a crossover with Doom. It's sad to see some of these characters die. I actually liked the scientists, but knew better to get attached to them.
Well, the nightmare has started. Let's see how Trixie manages to get through it all.
3612856 In RoE, on smaller enemies like Forgotten Ones (or Lost Souls), Cherubs, Trites and Ticks, it's an instant kill. It also catches the projectiles thrown by Imps, Vulgars, Mancubi and Hell Knights, ready for a catch-and-return scenario. Even Revenant rockets aren't immune: granted, you can't throw them back at Mr. Bone-Face, but releasing the hold deflects it off in a random direction.
And if you don't know that scientists are silly buggers, shame on you
3612875
I'm eeeeeevil!
I made things look up just so that I could take it all from Trixie.
The meat subject is just so obvious every time one writes human/pony stories... That's one of the things I really trimmed down from my draft, actually, I had a long discussion about horse meat (it's delicious!), vegetarianism and stuff like that. It involved spam, somehow... I got rid of most of it because that's not what this story is about, after all. It's just here to set the scene instead of just going "suddenly, demons everywhere". It's the same reason I didn't really talk about the details of magic, cutie marks, alicorns moving astral bodies, the different species of ponies, dragons, griffons and all the beasties of Equestria, rock farming (how does it work? Trixie should know!), etc. There's tons of material to work with, but not in this story
Anyways, it's nice to see I managed to make you care about the characters I created just so that I could kill them... Man, being a writer is weird sometimes
3612959
I know it works, but it's kinda hard to pull off. Sometimes the demons don't throw fireballs at you and when an imp decides to pounce, the grabber is useless. Also, it's not a great idea to keep it equipped at all times, in case you run into maggots or a pinky or zombie commandos... Not to mention that if you fail to catch a fireball with the grabber, you catch it with your face...
In the end, I just prefer to slaughter demons with the artifact and my bare fists
Now I remember why I faved and upvoted this. It took a while, but alas, you delivered!
And this was one fucking nasty segment of the story. More gruesome than the game.
Am I correct to guess that you're using Crash as Arlene Sanders the Doomgirl?
4766395
Unlike the game, I'm not limited by a silly graphic engine for gory details
And Crash is actually the first bot you fight in Quake 3 arena:
img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110517010455/quake/images/9/93/P_crash.jpg
Old school
4766507 Eh, never had that game. No single-player campaign turned me and my brother off, and I tasted UT99 before my first Q3 online session, so it wasn't an impacting experience.
BTW, Arlene Sanders is the name of the co-protagonist in the Doom novels, and she kicks as much ass as Flynn "Fly" Taggart, the Doomguy himself
Great to see this update again!
Yikes, things are ramping up to eleven quickly. Bloodthirsty demons tend to do that.
Trixie's got her first weapon, the trusty pistol. She seems to be a good shot with it already. I wonder if magic helps keep the aim from slipping.
Looking forward to what comes next!
4766645
I wasn't a big fan, which is why I know mostly Crash. She was the first level and I barely got any further
I haven't read the novels. Didn't even know there were any, in fact. Are they worth reading?
4767692
I've always loved the pistol in Doom3. It just looks cool... I always play with it for as long as I can. It's manageable until commandos start showing up...
Now I don't know if Trixie's aim is that good. So far, she only shot a slow zombie and he was pretty close. But yeah... magic
4768947 Only read the first one. I won't spoil much for you, but it's a more mundane version of Doom's plot and far less satanic, but if you take it for what it is, it's very enjoyable, with a consistent narrative, good characterization and action that leaves most military fiction books in the dust.
I did hear that the games' and the novels' diverge more harshly starting on the second book, but I've never really got to read any but the first, so I have no opinion.
4769325
Maybe I'll give it a try, then, if I can find it for cheap.
4769506 Forget that, you can find it online for free!
4769509
Heh. Well, it doesn't get cheaper than that.
4768947
No. No no no no no. I own all four... the first two at least make some token attempt to follow the storyline of Doom I and II (what storyline they had) but the last two just go absolutely off the rails and become utterly ridiculous.
4771295
Hmm... Well, maybe if I get really bored, then
Now that I can properly reply to this I shall. 9 hours later
Quite the story you have here so far, you've managed to capture several key elements and points within the source material (Doom 3) that I recall from my several tense playthroughs of the game itself. And yet your also showing some parts of the base that frankly, you don't get to see much or all thereof, without making those who've played scratch their heads and go 'what?'.
That all being said I am wondering where they will go in order to make it back to Marine HQ (which for those who know, is already a lost cause), and will there be any crossing paths with either the unnamed marine, or Councilor Swann and Campbell? Will they enter the living quarters area of the base (a unexplored area that would've held numerous horrors in the game if they had it) or other known but in the game unexplored/unaccesible areas?
5352736
Well, I can't really respond without revealing too much of my plans... What I can say is that the marine won't appear in the story, since that would basically mean rewriting the game's canon. The UAC base is really big (at least, I think so), so only a small part of it is in the game. That leaves a lot of room for other survivors to run around. Also, things will move back to Equestria at some point, of course.
5355258
Fair enough, the Marine was closer to Marine HQ than the gamma labs personnel were after-all. And he didn't lollygag around either. Though I still wonder if they will run across Swan and Campbell or not....probably not if your answer is to be interpreted correctly.
I take it Trixie's PDA was so restricted it doesn't upload clearances and data from other found PDA's? Was curious why hers didnt auto-download when she found that other PDA.
This is the kinda story I've been looking for involving doom 3!
Is just to bad that this story hasint updated in years.
Hell begins.
Xd
Great chapter!
That was the best and most intense chapter yet. It's so sad seeing people die when playing the game, you try to save them, only for them to die anyway.
Well I've reached the end of the current story. Probably a long shot but will this story ever update again?
It was good while it lasted
