4098442 honestly that has nothing to do with the popularity. If I wanted to write a popular story I'd either write a porno or a joke story, or a story that's so generic and simple everybody loves it for some reason. but I'm glad you love it :3
4098555 you mistake the way popularity works on this site lol. This story has a somewhat vague and intricate storyline and an almost unheard of concept, at least in terms of stories you see on here. that formulates into most people overlooking it because they don't think it's good before they even finish reading the description. yet a story like the sun and her little sparkle, which has an incredibly simple plotline and more slipups with grammar and pacing, was incredibly popular and successful- even though it was only meant to have two chapters. Long story short, most people don't like to think when they read. it's fine though, I write because I enjoy it, popularity is more random and unwarranted than anything else on this site. You either learn to not care or learn to abuse it
4098726 good luck with that lol. and I don't kill my stories, I lose the drive for them.I want to finish every one of my stories, excluding the first few, and if I can't then I have a rewrite planned. The only time I cancel a story is if I write another story that is of the same idea
So... they have weaponized Tron Lightcycles now???? Sweet. I can't wait to see what other action Twilight and Vinyl get up to, but I can totally see them staying up all night playing video games until Celestia yanks the plug on the game console.
4119900 lol, I hadn't even thought of the lightcycles. I wish I was a half decent artist so I could give you guys visuals and illustrations of these things I think up, but even if I could half of this stuff I wouldn't be able to. I leave a lot of stuff up to imagination intentionally, and sometimes I just can't think of an exact mentalization of how the things look- which is the main reason why description isn't my strongest suit
4120440 Adding more characters, especially if they're not mine or that I find on my own time and understand just as well as mine, will just add a layer of complexity and difficulty into it that would probably make me not want to write the parts involving them, so I don't really bother. If I want OCs I ask in the AN or a blog
4120919 not really. They're more like the light cycle, but it's cyberpunk not just cyber so they're not as pristine and smooth and everything. Imagine their basic design but give them a look that would make you think it'd be used in a movie or a video game involving mechs, give them a cockpit that has one-way technology on it, give it the mounted machine guns facing forward and the cannons extend from the front around where the windshield would be, but 122m cannons are huge, and these ones fire the equivalent of high explosive armor piercing, or HEAT depending on context, so the energy coils needed to power such a powerful shot are pretty huge too- and the barrel needs to be long enough to give it enough velocity to gain the armor piercing penetration. They're not mortars though, they face forward with a decent degree of gun traverse.
I love this but I can see why it's not super popular. The grammar is a bit of. As is the pacing, a small bit.

4098540 Not what I meant. I meant that stories like this, if executed close to perfectly could become popular.

4098631 Okay, I see. Maybe that's just how I work.
4098631 Never kill this story. If you do, I will hunt you down and kill you.
4098726 good luck with that lol.

4098982 Good. I like you too much to want to kill you.
again well done![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
reminds me of shadowrun![:rainbowhuh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowhuh.png)
but 20% cooler x 50000![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
4099123 I know absolutely nothing about shadowrun lol, the only thing that this was influenced by at all is ghost in the shell and only vaguely
Now that i think about it , I can see the similarities between those two as well
Well keep up the good work

would you happen to be accepting OCs into this universe? I could think of at least one of mine that would give the Seekers something to think about

4120896 would this be an accurate representation? (of course with the canopy)
