A wonderful mix of deep nerdery and Hearths Warming fluff. Sci-Twi and Chrysalis are a fascinating duo to watch - underneath the hostility they each have a touch of sympathy, which is about all you can ask out of Hearths Warming for Queen Crazy and Princess Dork. Thank you for writing!
Also, I groaned at we found your original petrification matrix and managed to invert it. Upvoting ... :V
Ohhh, so this is what that story sample you posted came from. I didn't even consider that it could be for a Jinglemas story.
This was a pretty inventive way to have SciTwi and post-stone Chrysalis interact, though it really sucks for Chrysalis that that's what the stone world is like. I liked that SciTwi was able to relate to her a bit, and it's nice to see her scientific curiosity regarding alternate dimensions and magic. Chrysalis was handled pretty well here too.
"Oh, without question. She's been plotting my death since we first met."
In any case, delightful bit of mad science-fueled rare character interaction. Thank you for it. I'd love to see Sci-Twi analyze other pony villains.
Hmm. I'll have to remember that idea...
Very intriguing indeed. I love the description of the mind-warping space too.
You linked me to this on mono's server, this was good fun! Thanks for writing it.
