Playing Against Sweetie Bot

To prove the superiority of ponies over machines, Trixie decides to challenge Sweetie Bot to a game of chess.

This fic was intentionally written for the 2023 Cyberpunk Equestria Story Contest, but I later on realised that there was a lower word limit of 2.5k words, so the story doesn't qualify.

Check out nonetheless the other entries here.

The thing I like about this fic is, while not conventionally cyber-punk, is it feels very much like the kind of fun comedy you'd get out of a decent cartoon. Trixie, being the bumbling blow-hard that she is, manages to equal out Homer Simpson and (early) Peter Griffon in ignorant bufoonery. What I would suggest however, since Trixie is doing the heavy lifting in this fic, is to lean into her paranoia more. Comedy is about hyper exaggeration after all, you take a normal situation and *stretch* it. Leave the chess game as the final 'test', ratchet up Rarities irritation as Trixie misinterprets the mundane more and more, until inevitably Clothes Horse puts her in her place.
