Fallout‽ Equestria: Console User Manual is a collection of Sketch Stories in the magical wasteland(?) of Equestria. After a Princess, a Zebra Caesar, some aliens, and half of the entire planet simultaneous crit-fail their diplomacy speech-rolls, everything blew up. But then it got better. Kinda.
But then there’s always that one pony who thought getting blown up was the most fun thing they ever did, and would totally do it again. “Ten out of ten, doesn’t require any survival, would explode again!” Over two hundred years after the great accident that doomed Equestria to a brown and grey fate, survivors in Stable Lab Forty-Five Research and Development gave that one pony a prototype Pipbuck attachment with the ultimate power over all life, all physics, and all of reality. So naturally, the first thing they did with it was die horribly! The second thing they did with it was ignore the user manual and play with it like a toy.
The weird escalates quickly... and ends everything abruptly. But it's always conveniently fixed by the next episode, so yay!?
If you were expecting friendship lessons, they’re not here.
(Note: No manuals included. Nopony ever read those anyway.)
(Actual Note: These tales are tangentially based on the setting of Kkat's Fallout: Equestria. Familiarity with that story may aid your understanding. Looking up setting questions on the wiki will work just as well. Familiarity with the Fallout games is not expected.)
The only thing I have to say: you could use more spaces. Sometimes it's hard to keep reading such a huge wall of text. Just use as space line whenever you start a new indented paragraph, it makes things much easier.
The whole life-death-reload thing in the first chapter reminded me of my playstyle in Fallout...
I don't know if it's an interesting story or if it's just delighting me to read it.
Anyway, have a like.
P.S.: you should definitely use moar explosions.
there are never enough explosions.
P.P.S.: It's Caesar, not Caezar. (Description)
4226552 Thanks for pointing those things out! It was more spaced out in Google Drive/Docs. I didn't realize the 1.5 spacing spacing disappeared after I used Fimfic's GDocs importer. I'll see about manually spacing paragraphs out momentarily (as well as fixing the Caesar spelling).
Interesting story or not, I'm glad it has been entertaining.
I actually wrote a story that's almost all explosions from start to finish, but it's a part of a different compilation. I might include it here later once that compilation goes live. But sure, I can probably add more explosions in future shorts. Any particular preference for kind and nature of explosion?
like it so far
4356044 Yay!
"Code Breaker" and "Game Shark"?! New favorite ponies, right there!
And in the fist chapter there was "Emmy". I was all, "Huh? What kind of pony name is that?" Then you added that in here and it's a phonetic interpretation of her initials! FUN!
Well this was a fun little trip lots of things I could complain about on the lore side but the first chapter clears that all away kinda think I'll read this when I want to turn off the lore part of my brain and enjoy some fallout based humour

*poke* is it dead?
6387104 I haven't given up on this, no. But you're right that it's been a while since the last time I've written anything. I'll try to get off my lazy butt and get something short together in a week or two. I fail at even that, then yes, it's very probably dead.
seriously, what the hell is going on here!?
6422125 Silliness. Same as the first chapter.
Uuuuhhhhhh....what...the...heck...is going on?
Love it!
