Why, oh why, did you have to bring that steaming pile of horesapples and waste of literally everything comic into this? Not sure how you'd get Sunset into this.

But there is always easier ways to do it than digging up that comic as a reason Sunset ends up however she does.

HEY!
If you dislike the comic fine
Don't rip into the author for something you dislike.
Do like Don't read!

You sort of sound like those Anon A Miss haters who love to rip into anyone who even mentions it.

Morion87's objection is to the fact the comic has been done to death and back again on this site. Admittedly, I helped to contribute to this problem.

I'll be following this for now.

I'm also questioning why it even needs to exist for this story and what happens to Sunset. If Sunset gets stolen by something, great.

Now why does the comic's... Things, need to happen before hand to get to this point? There's easier ways to make the idea work without dragging IDW's worst idea ever into it.

Precisely. Why not use Forgotten Friendship as the jumping-off point?

I don't get the issue of using AaM as a good starting point for a story. It's a good way to get a broken Sunset who is jaded with trust issues while also giving her a reason to get out of CH.

Now, I haven't read this story. But don't just trash people for using AaM- yes, the comic wasn't very good but the comic still has some quality uses if done right. Of course, AaM isn't the end all be all.

I will give this story a try later, when it has more content. I have it marked for now.

OK I like this story I cannot wait to see what happens next and what happens with the rainbooms

While he was in the midst of looking for more of the yellow berries, he heard a disgusting sound, as if someone was hacking up mucus. Glancing to his left, he scooted out of the way in time for a ball of dark green gunk, which splashed against a rock next to him. Before he could make a comment of how the 'gross stuff' was stuck onto his skin, the brush yielded to a small prickly dark blue dinosaur with two bright red crests.

Ok look. When the game first came out these little guys were actually dangerous even on a giga. If you were to get hit once by their spit it would crash your game imagine that happening during a PVP fight or on a giga line

What is ARK: Survival Evolved?

10540701
In layman's terms, it's a pretty big open world survival game that takes place on an island with prehistoric animals and sometimes fictional monsters with some having made up abilities (Arthropluera spitting armor-melting blood, Daeodons creating healing auras, snails secreting cementing paste, etc). Not to mention that there's a ton of building, crafting, and farming involved if you have big goals in the game.

Looks interesting, watched. Though I have a question, what's up with that floating A? ARK lore actually tells us how survivors got there and they were a pile of bones loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong(at least most of them, there were few from the "modern"(22nd century) times) before the ARKs, everyone on the ARK is just a clone. So...What's up with that? Nevermind that, just noticed Note I'm blind So instead I will ask, will this story follow general ARK storyline(so Ascension, TEK and other high tech stuff or will it stay on the more primitive side of things?

It'll honestly be somewhat of a mixed bag according to my plans. While I'm aware of the lore of ARK nowadays than years ago, from reading the explorer notes the first time to learn from their points of view, my best guess was that the survivors were brought (or taken unwillingly) somehow from various points of time in Earth's history alive and were placed on the Island. To give you the idea, in the original ARK, you got an Australian biologist from the 21st century, a power-hungry Roman Centurion from Ancient Rome, a London chemist from the 1800s, and there's a Chinese warrior hailing from the Three Kingdoms era who were living their daily lives and now had to do whatever it took to survive on the Island.

Now if you've read a few other fanfictions of ARK: Survival Evolved, you'll notice that some authors have their own versions or twists of the game's lore. For instance, one writer wrote that the ARK is a solar system with habitable planets and threw in some supernatural stuff (don't ask me how it all works, I didn't write it :derpyderp1:). This, in turn, inspired me to come up with my own version of the lore which will be explored later on in the story.

Also, the floating A is, if you've read the description, the ARK logo. I wanted to give it more of a role and explore this version of ARK.

"She's a friend, not food." He explained to seize her temptation of making a meal out of the supposed intruder, although the last part his sentence about made Sunset pale.

“Except stinking’ dolphins.”
“DOLPHINS! Oh, yeah. They think they're so cute! "Oh, look at me! I'm a flippin' little dolphin! Let me flip for ye! Ain't I something?"

I look forward to seeing what crazy adventures Sunset and Adam will have, also what will happen to the Rainbooms and what Princess Twilight will react to Sunset's journal entry?

Keep up the good work.

10576127
What will inevitably happen to the Rainbooms and Princess Twilight's reaction is, in a few words (mainly to prevent revealing too much about the future chapters), not going to be pretty. I can guarantee you that.

10576287
OK then. Note to self: when that moment comes, have popcorn ready on stand by.

10576287
After what the Rainbooms did they deserve a very good punishment for their foolish actions.

10576428
would cutting them off from equestia be good? or having an angry celestia breathing down their necks from making her student/daughter go missing?
If adam and sunset sucessfuly accend then go to equestria would that translate to them being alicorns?

10577182
I'd say a very angry Celestia going after the Rainbooms would make a good punishment.

A very good question there, I guess it would.

Whens the next chapter and I cant wait I rlly like this story

10577385
If I can publish a chapter for another fanfic soon enough, I'll be able to focus my efforts on the next chapter (although I have been drawing out the plan for it already).

Im liking this story more and more
Hope to see what the rainbooms are doing sometime though xD

she was actually a vegetarian.

I wonder how many days that'll last?:rainbowlaugh: Yeah, a vegetarian diet is one of the worst diets you could try in that situation. There simply isn't enough vegitable based protein to be found in nature that humans can digest.

I'm hooked,can't wait to read more

still wanna see this story continue

with what we know about the arks does sunset being there mean she died and ark is set in the equestira girls future? or was she teleported?

Just decided to reread this today,, I gotta say I'm still looking forward to the next chapter.
