When Minty Flower first came to Fillydelphia to become a reporter, she had no idea what she was in for. Now that she's achieved that goal, however, she'll learn that even more challenges face her and her friends as they try to get by in a city fighting to recover from its shady past.
Direct sequel to Freeze Frame.
Can't read at the moment, It's snowing and I'm in a heated debate on facebook over weather or not we're going to school tomorrow. Which doesn't really matter as I will have to trudge in any way as I have a history retake which I paid for. Either way, I'm happy that there is a direct sequel. I almost bloody cried when I realized freeze frame was completed. 
>>2003767 Okay, so I FINALLY got round to reading this... you didn't disappoint. Same old Minty and same old action packed style. Loved the Bioshock references. Was there also a V for Vendetta reference in there, pony in the white mask, hat and cloak,making political killings (If it wasn't, it was in my head. if you haven't seen V for Vendetta, you HAVE to watch it!). Also, I feel silly for not noticing before, especially as you confirmed my suspicions in the previous story that your Fillydelphia is an earlier version of the Fillydelphia from Fallout: Equestria, but does Golden Remedy hold some form of relation to Velvet Remedy? Considering ponies don't follow our Naming traditions and laws, it's possibly a silly question, but I am curios. I'm also loving the fact that Minty and Grapevine are back together. They were awesome partners, hoping that trend continues. Looking forward to the next chapter, you've given me something to look forward to that a lot of other fics fail at. 
Glad you like it! And what I meant before was that Freeze Frame started as an idea for a pre-war story in the Fallout: Equestria universe with my Fillydelphia being the same as the one Littlepip later visits, but it has since evolved from that and they are set in two separate universes. Though the relation thing wasn't actually intentional. 
yay schedualed updates!
i'm so happy i could break through the fourth wall and hug you. 
why of course!
Freeze frame had me on the edge of my spinny seat waiting for that next update. ^w^
i'm sure The World at Large will have me falling of said spinny seat. 
Marshmallow. Hmn, suddenly I'm wondering if we were ever told who exactly her parents were. Considering what Blueblood is up in in Boss of Me...
Wild ass guess, Party Line is either the big bad this arc or the next victim. Especially riding in a different car...
A description of the driver, that's pretty suspicious too...
Yeah, figured something was up with him. Sounds like either Marshmallow isn't a target or simply isn't a target now. Suspicious corporation name is very suspicious too.
Can't wait to see where this is going next.
When I hear Pyrrhus, I think of the city in Killzone. just saying.
I really miss updates from the last story. No cheesy electric organ riff in my head every time I read the title this time...
But yeah, great story, and I have no idea where it's going, so...good job!
God, I bloody love this story, SO MUCH! The references, the characters, the stories! All of it is just brilliant! Definitely needs more attention, it's so good!
Can't wait to see what happens to Minty next.
P.S. "P" (you would think I could think of a better name for "V" pony) was absolutely awesome! 
Oh no, this story got a dislike! Who would do such a thing to such a good story?!
Ah, there were some missing words towards the beginning. Like, a lot of them. You might want to go over that again. Just saying.
Daaaawwww! Sure makes a guy feel loved.
A visit to Germaneigh? Here's hoping this turns out to be a follow up on the serum storyline.
Well, airships are always cool.
He raised one bony talon and poked her in the head. For his trouble, the violet unicorn jerked awake and socked him in the cheek with a stray hoof.“Do you ever just wake up normally?” he moaned, holding a talon to his wounded face.
“Hey, it makes me less likely to be attacked,” Grapevine said with a yawn. “Or woken up before I want to be.”
Hah!
I'm really wondering how cool Starshine's upgraded wings will be. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it feels like there's been a lot of lead up to them.
A small leather bound journal? Mildly suspicious, I'm sure it's going to be important later. Rather curious about the leather part, seems odd to find that in an earth pony camp.
Shesh, nice job paying attention to the no-magic and no-wings rule, girls. The burned hand teaches best, I suppose.
Hmn, I'm gonna vote for Minty Do, I think it sounds just a bit better than Daring Flower.
Grapevine, don't you teleport over that river. Grapevine, don't you...!
She did it. Of all the stupid things, why would she...? Whatever, let's just get to that lake. STARSHINE DON'T SWIN IN THE LAKE.
This is a tough crowd to deal with... I feel sorta bad for Ivory...
And I vote Minty Do
Oh my god. I just finished the last chapter and then you post this one! :D I just marathon read freeze frame and this, and you do not disappoint!
That was quite the cliffhanger... And dammit why didn't Minty get a picture? (Unless I skipped over her not having the camera)
I'm SOOO on edge right now!
The descriptions are really making me uneasy. The writing on the wall is always bad, even if you can't read it. 
Minty say's forests aren't scary? they're some of the most terrifying enviroments on earth! Seriously, I spent a week sleeping in a hammock in a forest near Tintern in Wales. I wouldn't go to bed without my 8 inch (blade) sheath knife in my sleeping bag with me. Everyone was scared on that camp. And don't even get me started about the grounds around Woodchester mansion! They tested a tank bridge there, but when the tank was crossing the lake, the bridge failed and it fell in. Divers went down to salvage the crews bodies (fail-safes on the tank didn't work and this was in the 1930's so rescue was impossible without serious heavy equipment. The bridge shouldn't have failed and the physics didn't add up to why it did) but when they got down there, the hatch was open. No bodies anywhere and the crew never turned up. The forest around there is almost alive, the feeling of treacherous and leering eyes cutting into your back as you trudge through ferns and brambles alike.
I'm rambling, awesome chapter as always! I put of reading it so I would have two to read at once.
I am very sorry to confirm that this is true. You can read this blog post for more information. I just wanted to deeply apologize for having to end it and I am so sorry to let you down. 
I will try to get another chapter out to wrap up this current arc sometime soon, but after that... 
I just want to state again that I am so so sorry and I hate to end it like this. 
I can hope that you will stick around and maybe try out Reach or the new stories I'll be coming out with (written at my own pace and shorter than this), but if not I'll understand. Thank you so much for reading.
>>2391536 It's ok man. I read the posts and I understand. It's just a shame to see it go, but I know that whatever you write next and even if you wrapped this up with about 500 words in some noble and emotional scene where minty gives up her life to save her friends or something, it will still be an awesome ending to some amazing writing. 
If you do get published (and with your skills, I'm sure you will) I'll be definitely purchasing your work. 
It was a good ride and while I'm sad that it's over, It's at least nice that you tell people whats going on and are apologetic. Good luck with your other works, I'll be watching.
