Fallout Equestria Outline Done; Beta Readers Wanted · 2:53pm Nov 30th, 2019
TL;DR I need beta readers for episodic updates of a novel-length Fallout Equestria story, about 5K words every two weeks.
I will start revising the outline and writing the buffer soon and begin serializing in January. I'll be writing as I go based on the outline with probably a buffer of several chapters, and posting a chapter every two weeks or so. I'm looking for people who can pre-read the chapters for continuity or technical errors.
About the story:
AU for Fo:E, MLP, AND Fallout. If I come across canon I don't like, I just change it. Main difference is a Fallout pre-war tech level for pre-war Equestria, primarily because I like Covegas and Vertibirds. Plot is inspired by Fallout 4 (because I live in the Commonwealth IRL) but diverges quickly from it.
Lyra1 MC, with slow-burn Bon Bon romance as a secondary element. As per Fallout 4 Lyra starts the story with a husband and child, but don't get attached to them. Bon Bon is based on Curie from Fallout 4.
Lyra, as a CSGU grad, has a much higher general magic level than Littlepip or Blackjack, so that's interesting.
I haven't decided if it'll be T or M rated -- because of who I am as a writer, it's much less druggy and rapey than seems to be average for Fallout: Equestria2, but it WILL be very violent. I haven't decided about detail level in the sex scenes yet, but I do like writing sex. So probably M.
What else would a beta reader read to know? I... um... think it's gonna be good? If you liked Battle of Canterlot, Strange Currencies, or Tempest Shadow: Mooby Road you might like this.
Estimated total novel length is between 65,000 and 110,000 words. The lower estimate is based on my historical average chapter length of 2,972 words/chapter in violent stories; the higher based on my future goal of 5K words/chapter.
DM me if you wanna volunteer. Thanks!
1 Lyra Zed has been my default female RPG name since the original Fallout game, and I like the idea of a canon character in Fo:E
2I've only read the original and parts of Project Horizons. Boy howdy is Project Horizons a rapefest. Stallion rape, mare rape, everypony getting raped. I'm a wimp about writing/reading that kind'a thing. Funnily I can only remember one mention of rape in the games and they tiptoe around using the actual word. It does seem like plausible Raider behavior, but I prefer not to think about it. As far as drugs go, I've just never done them, so I always feel cringey when I try to write them.
