I am Fancypants, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a stallion not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 

'No,' says Princess Luna 'it belongs to me!' 

'No,' says Princess Celestia 'It belongs to everypony!' 

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. 

(Just to clarify the story is 1940s styled. As far as clothes, music, designs, etc. go.)

Is this a crossover of what I think it is?

I saw the image and at first thought
"Ah Hell another gorefic?"
But after a few seconds of looking at the image I realized what it was, you may continue with my blessings :trollestia:

Bioshock. Nice. Expect music from me.

I'm liking the idea for this fic. At first I thought this was just going to be a re-telling, but I'm liking the idea of showing how Rapture was created, instead of just doing a direct reteling. at least not yet.

I do hope we get to the crazy soon! :pinkiecrazy: Keep on writing! :pinkiehappy::rainbowlaugh:

So is Promontory the role of Jack in this fic?

Awesome. Awesome cover photo, awesome crossover, awesome story. Tracked.

I've never played Bioshock. Is it crucial I play the game to understand this fanfiction, or can I go ahead and read it without being confused? o=

i don't think so... this seems at the moment to be the rise of rapture, rather than a retelling of the story in the game

that being said, you should go play the game anyways it freakin awesome:pinkiehappy:

506440 Agreed. Infinite loses the feel that the first two had though. The game is supposed to be borderline if not complete horror, so placing on a blimp loses the sense of claustrophobia.

506570

yeah, it'll still probably be a good game though, mabye not as scary as bioshock 1 or 2, but i have high hopes for it.

but it does replace claustrophobia with Basiphobia or the fear falling and heights.

506619 Eh, it'll never be as good. Rapture had a certain 'terror' that only an advanced underwater dystopian society populated by mutants can only have. remove any one of those concepts and it's no longer the Rapture I fell in love with. Plus, the replacement for Big Daddies are made from F:yay:ING GLASS! HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE INTIMIDATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S WAERING A TUX?

Interesting concept... a crossover with Bioshock, but a prequel as opposed to a re-telling? I like it.

I hope we get to Rapture soon! this was a good chapter, but felt like nothing really happened....
still good though!

506619 Man, I couldn't even finish BioShock 2. I had to change pants after every room. Even on the easiest level I couldn't survive the big sisters. I eventually just chucked it as far as I could :fluttershbad:

Told ya people would like it, Fancier :ajsmug: Anyway, good luck with getting it in to EQD.

Nothing much was really supposed to happen in this chapter anyways. Was just meant to give a little background on two of the main characters. But thank you for the support everyone I appreciate it.

I understand that the picture and story introduction may have thrown some people off but this story IS NOT going to be a rehashing of either of the Bioshock games or the book by John Shirley like so many others have already done.:raritycry: this story will cover the rise, decline, and unfortunate fall of Rapture. NOR will this story be filled with mindless gore, although there will be some limited violence. I figured I'd address everyone's comments and concerns at once. For those of you who still follow my story thank you for your continued support and I promise there is much more to come soon!:eeyup:

Sorry about the long wait guys but here is chapter four! The story will pick up in pace soon. Those of you who have been following the story up to now GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK PLEASE: questions, comments, etc. Chapter five coming soon!

*Reads title*
Hmm... that sounds familiar...

*Reads first sentence*
:pinkiehappy: Oh my Celestia, it's a 'Bioshock' crossover!!! :yay:

*Saves for later*

dude, i never dropped this story?

anyways, great chapter. i would however like to see rature start getting built soon though,

Why does Promontory seem to be this chapter's punching bag?
Everything described seems to press his buttons the wrong way.

Regardless of your intention with the story, it's still very good. A prequel of Rapture. My only complaint is just minor grammatical errors, but everyone has those. Keep up the good work, fine sir/ma'am!

Here, a mustache for you: :moustache:

Once again guys I'd like to apologize for the long wait for the chapters, I've hit a kind of mental block in my next chapter and with school coming up its hard for me to focus. But I promise you guys the next time I post, I will post TWO new chapters. Until then cheers!

Hey everybody! Well with school starting up and all I'm afraid it may be awhile longer before I post another chapter. I've hit a snag in my next chapter that I'm trying to work through piece by piece. But as promised I'll post two chapters the next time I do post for the story. I'll try and keep you all posted. Stay tuned!

Nearly done with the next chapter folks. I expect it to be done by the end of the week which will end part 1 of my story. Again, sorry about the long waiting.

I'm going to power trough and get this chapter done tonight guys. Then I'll have my proofreader look it over, it should be up no later than Monday night because I know how long you've all been waiting for me to continue.

Okay guys now it's official! I handed off my next chapter to my proofreader. He should have it back to me in a day or two at which point I'll probably tweek the chapter a bit. Expect it up by Friday night guys. Sorry once again.

Hi everyone. Handed the chapter off to my proofreader. He hasn't got much free time like me so it make take the rest of the week before he reviews it and I get it back to post. Sorry.

Great news! Finally got my next chapter back from my proofreader. Expect it up soon.

AAAAAAAAND FINALLY CHAPTER FIVE! Sorry abou the long wait guys, its been kind of hectic these past few months. I've written probably three different versions of this chapter and about four rough drafts for this one that I settled on. I feel like its kind of supbar :raritycry: but I'll let you bros decide on that one. Please be gentle. :fluttercry: This chapter actually marks the end of part 1 of my story, I'm actually half way through with the rough draft of my next chapter, its shapping up to be a good one. As always feel free to ask questions and leave comments, its appreciated, and I promise there is much more coming soon! :eeyup:

:yay: YAY! We're Finally going to Rapture! now to see what you do for the big daddies! Keep writing, I'll go slip into another coma until this is updated again! :twilightsmile:

Sent the rough draft of my chapter off to my proof reader. Expect it before Christmas.

Sorry about not putting the next chapter up guys, I'm wicked busy this year. The next chapter itself is done, I'm just waiting to get it back from my proofreader and he's about as busy as I am. I'll try and keep you guys posted.

I'm actually making progress on the chapter after next's rough draft. Maybe I'll end posting two chapters.

Sorry, end up posting two chapters.

Okay, quick update chapter six has been sent to my proofreader, expect it in a week and I'm almost done writing the rough draft for chapter seven. Also I'm going to post links to images of my original characters that I made using a pony generator.

Ok I have to say something about your cover pic. WHY THE DOCTOR what did he do wrong? :flutterrage: :raritycry:

Hi everyone! Remember me? Yeeeeeeah, been away for a bit. Things got kind of crazy about a year and a half ago in my life and I have not really had too much time on my hands since then. But I am back and I plan on picking this up again soon and I have some more ideas in the works as well, so for those of you who have been waiting, thanks for sticking with me. I am so sorry I was gone for so long and I promise more will come soon.

Oh wow, I just noticed that was the doctor now lol. Looks like he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
