This... this could be big...

Dear God. I love you, author.

Wow this is really well written. If it keeps going like this I think it'll be a worthy sequel. Right away I like the plot point of the SPP being broke somehow and it causing the snow instead of some sort of excursion to the Frozen North. Not saying the Frozen North is a bad idea, but this kinda caught me by surprise. The fact that the other two elements are still missing is sure to be interesting as well, maybe Faith being one? Who knows, we don't know much about her yet. Anyway you've caught my attention and I'm really REALLY looking forward to seeing more. Keep up the great work. :pinkiehappy:

Writing's good and the premise seems solid. As 4220876 said, the idea that the frozen aspect of the wasteland was caused by a glitchy SPP system is unique.

I'll be very interested to see where this goes.

Wow, pretty good start. :twilightsmile: I have been wondering when someone would take the steps to make the FOE 2.

Good luck and keep it coming. :raritywink:

Interesting. Let us see where this goes. Good luck.

By the way your story was added to the Falout Equestria Group by G-Man64! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions! :scootangel:

This colossal machine was the ultimatum of the Ministry of Arcane Science's head, Twilight Sparkle,

You might want to change that to something like "ultimate work", since an ultimatum is defined as:

ul·ti·ma·tum
1. A final statement of terms made by one party to another.
2. A statement, especially in diplomatic negotiations, that expresses or implies the threat of serious penalties if the terms are not accepted.

Well, she already stated (several times :rainbowlaugh:) that she would NOT be adding onto the story, writing a sequel, or anything like that. #MajorFan :P


4224714

I was similar, 'cept it was the picture I'm using as cover art.
(Which I got permission for! :pinkiehappy:)

4227978

I understand where you're coming from, and while I agree, what I am implying is that it was an unspoken final offer to both sides of the war, should they take the conflict to new heights. Which they did. Although if you think otherwise still, please say so! I enjoy ALL feedback. :pinkiehappy:

Just one question: how does the whole mother-thing works. As far as I understand, Faith is Pip's daughter of some kind, she refers to her and Homage as "mother". But how does that work? I don't recall Homage or Pip being pregnant/the later giving birth to anything. If Pip would be a stallion, that might work, but that way...
I like the idea of the story, but could you explain to me how Faith is connected to Little Pip and Homage? That would be nice.

4237213

I would love to explain to you how the logic of that works, but that is planned to be included in the first chapter anyway. Since its not a huge plot point, it comes down the mechanics of the SPP, surrogacy spells, scientific creation of life and something similar to Project Chimera from Project Horizons.

In short: Magic :pinkiehappy:

ITS TIME FOR MORE SHIPP-I mean reading ^-^

Wait I don't remember going into the SPP pod being permanent, good so far

4325780

It's not literally permanent, but Littlepip would need to focus on the weather and keep it running smoothly 24/7.

SPP broke...soooo, did LittlePip get out? Was she trapped and became a pony-popsicle?

4381917

Sorry, you'll get no spoilers from me. :twilightsheepish:

4383046
Ah, so it was intentionally left unmentioned. I'm now curious to see where this one goes.

After I get the last few FO:E chapters out of the way :twilightoops:

4385642

If you haven't read the original yet:

BACK. AWAY. SLOWLY.

Go read the story.

THEN

Come back. :heart:

I love this. Kkat approved and the writing seems pretty good. Still too early to judge really since it's the prologue, but I hope the chapters are long and frequent.

As a Littlepip lover this pleases me. Pls keep on this ;~;

4386779

Don't worry, I'm gonna be working hard after School ends. :pinkiehappy:

Also, at the moment, the first chapter is estimated 5k words to begin with, though that is subject to change. Either way, I'll make sure to extend chapters as I get the story played out in my head. :twilightsmile:

Good...quite excellent indeed. I cannot wait to see more, and I wish you luck in your writing endeavors! I'll be watching. I'm already on the edge of my seat waiting to see where this goes.

This is not good at all, I really hope she isn't dead. Good chapter again :twilightsmile:

4386779
You really shouldn't throw around 'Kkat Approved' ...that's a recipe for disaster, given what happened with Somber. Took a year to get rid of it when Sethisto made that mistake.

Also, that big '2' in the title is terrifying and unnecessary. You'd be better off leaving it out, I think. It's gotten some negative attention already for it- only reason I know of this fic.

I realy don't know what to say, mostly because I don't want to be mean about it, so here is my big three gripes;

first off, having the perspective of the story consonantly switch for first pony to third pony view is just jarring for the immersion, but if that's going to be your style then best copy how it was used in "Pink Eyes" there it did switch for first to third a lot, but did it in a way that didn't brake the flow of the story.

Second, have two different characters talk in the same paragraph is a bit confusing, now it's not like I haven't seen it don in all of the F.E. story's I have read, but it's something that is more rare, with the big five story's keeping it to one character talking for each paragraph. it's not a big problem, but it dose get confusing to know who is talking if there is not adequate descriptions in the paragraph, add in a third or fourth character, and it can be trouble.

third, for such short chapters the grammatical errors are for more apparent. It not a big problem to me, heck read "Murky Number Seven" and in it every now and then it has sentences that are just painful to read, but this is also a story of which that one chapter can take me all day to read, I mean it has hellishly long chapters, so most grammatical problem spots get lost among the sea of words.

now I just want anyone reading this to know that I'm far from any kind of English major, so my criticism come from more being a "Fallout Equestria" fan, then anything elss. So my criticism is more about me wanting this to be good, then wanting to nitpick, if I was being nitpicky I would not have registered here to just type this...

4598117

Hey, keep the criticisms coming, I need them to improve, y'know?

Also, if you read the note I put in, that was a "Sorry about the wait" chapter. To expand on that, I've been dealing with Family, Friends, and personal mental issues as of late. Not only that, but I've also gotten to the point where I criticize everything I write to the degree of fanaticism. I keep chucking out ideas at any little gripe of my own.

I'm trying to stay on board, but with all this going on, it just gets hard. If it comes down to, I may put this and my other story on hiatus.

Before I forget, the 1st Person to 3rd Person is where I picked up from losing all my work. Didn't realize I had actually done that, so it should be handled in the future.

4598394 if you can find someone to edit this for you, it sould make it easier, they can help you keep things more consistent, and you can push for longer chapters.

On a side note, this hole chapter feels more like a chapter two, or the end of a chapter one, I kind of like to have read about Fail actually being at the sky port when it was full of pony's, with it already abandoned it just feels like another part of the wasteland. Like with the mining town and the town with the seer, in "Project Horizons" were we get to see it full of pony's, but when Black Jack returns to them to find them empty, it just screams something is seriously wrong. I'm just saying that we barley know the two characters and their already in a big event, which is not a bad thing, but with the length of the chapter, there is just too much going on. Not to say I would do any better, but I'd like to get to know the two main characters more in a more relaxed setting.

mind if I do a reading for youtube?

OhmygoshOhmygosh!

S-sure! I-I haven't done much on it yet, t-though...

5104744

If you do, please send me a link! I've been meaning to give this story a read for months, but haven't been able to get around to it. An audio reading would be a great help.

So, FoE 2 died? If so, that was pretty quick.

5197139

No, just on hiatus due to school, work, and extra-curricular. I haven't forgotten about it, though!
:pinkiehappy:

Very good so far. I'm assuming you took inspiration from that series of fanart that got really popular as of late, I forgot they guy's name, but I'd been searching for a fic like this for a while now.

Oh dear, s-so much activity about my story out of nowhere. o-o

I'm still so busy.. I wanna update it though...

Just finished the first book and im still kinda rejuvenating but ill read here we go

5490680

Not sure what you two are talking about, but I just LOVE your profile picture! I read that book earlier last year, it was great!

4598394 Take a chill pill. It's OK if thing aren't perfect. I doubt even Kkat was happy with her first draft.

Also, good story. I think this could be a great new addition to the Fallout Equestria cannon. :twilightsmile:

*Grammar Nazi incoming*

...Canon, not cannon. :pinkiehappy:
