The times are a-changing in Equestria. In recent years, technology have progressed at a frightful rate. A few brave pioneers are working on magitek, combining magic and technology, but several opposing factions are trying to ban this practice before it takes off.
The first Equestrian World's Fair is seen by many as the potential tipping point, and Celestia has therefore made it a point to attend personally.
Twilight is working on a device to help a friend regain flight, a device that might hold the secret to unlocking the true potential of magitek.
From the lowest rung of the social ladder comes a pair of buisnessponies and engineers whose actions for better or for worse will shape the future of Equestria, for good or for bad. A tale of technology, flight and imagination.
A story by Owlor... *reads*
I love magictek, everything seems linguistically correct, and the character tags have me intrigued. Needless to say, you've earned a track.
a few verb tense errors, but i'm diggin' your style bro
carry on
still quite a bit of errors, but i've resolved to track. the story is completely sound, and i'm eager to see what happens
I haven't even read the story yet... but still this looks really promising!
Lets have a look inside shall we?

Oh wow!
Totally worth the read, I really enjoyed it!
While reading this I couldn't help but celebrate a bit. This seems to be practically dripping with Pre-Raphaelite context, and I really enjoy that sort of stuff!
So I liked this story before I read it, plainly off of the description you gave at the beginning (the idea was something fresh, I couldn't help but to jump on the bandwagon) . I took a guess, and I was right.
Great job here, and I will defiantly be following the progression of the book!

One word - awesome sauce, nice work
Shouldn't Rainbow-shine be Rainbow Dash...????????
Also Spiek needs to be corrected to Spike.

but yeah, "Speik" in a legitimate spelling errror...
I'll get right to fixing that. 
The kind of painting the 4th wall I used in this really didn't translate well to fim-fiction, I got really tired fiddlnig around with the colors to make the letters look plasuibly invisible, so I just screenshotted my gdoc
eventually I'll go back and replace it, but for now itll work as a gettho solution 
It's actually better that way, about the gdoc screen shot, because one, it looks cooler and two, no one could highlight the message to read it. No spoilers for them!

Maybe I should do something similar with all the letters instead?
It wouldnt take long in photoshop to create a typewritten letter that looks good, and it would make for soem delicious 4th wall-painting. 
I have absolutely no idea what is going on anymore.

This chapter is really just here to set the stage for some of the conflicts later on and to flesh out the themes of the story.
