Tungsten Tammy is a minotaur studying journalism at the University of Haycago. She's got her hands full going to classes, balancing a relationship, and attempting to take down a corrupt member of city council. She might even accomplish it all without bumping her head on too many doorframes - unless an ancient conspiracy from her past fouls things up.

Yes you can, it just requires firearms, explosives and a dubious moral compass.

There's a unclosed italic tag at Cloud performs a simple spell.
I like all the little details about how minotaurs are different from pony. It really helps us to appreciate the character.

It starts out interesting, but the last chapter seems very rushed and anticlimactic. It doesn't pay off so much as unravel. Granted that this is somewhat like real life, it's not what I was expecting after four chapters of gradually building tension in multiple plot lines.
No Aluminum, Al?

Yeah, I kinda have to agree with this. This feels pretty flat; there's conflict, but no tension. Some stuff happens, and then some more stuff happens, and then it's over.

Magnetic cluster mines! Dig trenches and fill them with acid!
Good story. Also like the name Tammy, cause that's my name. Thanks
*all. Al has atrocious fashion sense.
You accidentally a word.
Aliens!
Shouldn't it be an Equestrian class? Yanno, since there's no England in Equestria.
This makes me think of a certain other pony, who is definitely not male.
Honestly, I can't picture ponies wearing them, let alone minotaurs. Hooves just don't bend that way.
So, she's boring.
I'm left feeling unsure if Kicker is just trying too hard, or if he's in on it.
3773021 What they said - the lead-up in the previous four chapters strongly implies a more epic storyline, and instead it's all over in the blink of an eye. We don't know what evidence she gathered, or what the thingy in the box actually did, and worst of all, we never find out about the island that made her give up basketball!
And that makes it a better line than whatever you probably actually said.
My opinion on this story has been pretty well expressed by the other comments on here. I think it starts off well, and I felt it maintained an interesting tempo. It reads like a good detective novel, and I like that, but the end does seem to just happen out of the blue. Really that was my only issue with it. Regardless, I still enjoyed it, so thanks for writing it!
Please keep writing, I'll keep reading!
I liked Tammy as a character, and the situation was interesting but seemed more of a set up for future stories. Also the resolution seemed rushed. I never actually understood why Kicker liked her -- I found her mostly likeable (but then I have a soft spot for large, strong, smart females) -- and was actually expecting to find out that he was related to Deal Maker and was trying to worm his way into her company to get information from her (or worse). I also didn't see her liking all that much about him (which made the breakup not very surprising). I like this storyverse -- I'm guessing it's half a century or more in the future of the show.
