I have remove my story from FimFiction.net. I have done this for two reasons: An apparent "Admin Knows Best" mentality, and the lack of user input concerning site management.
I've posted a revised chapter one. Thank you to Demetrius from the Ponychan training grounds and SteelTalons. I've also added a few paragraphs on terraforming to "Notes and Miscellaneous" on Google Docs.
