Six years ago, a plague broke out in Equestria. The ponies affected turned into... something else.
A doctor, far-sighted unicorn, hyperactive pegasus, mechanical genius, zebra, short-tempered fighter and his little sister have just joined forces to survive the harsh wasteland.
What could possibly go wrong?
Important:
All spelling and gramatical errors in speech are intentional, apart from those few that aren't.
The names and personalities of the characters Tipperary, Hoof-to-Hoof, Zequa, Scoutabout, Dr. Gluefoot, Maregyver and Zequa are my creations and intellectual property, as are dronies. I don't mind the use of dronies in other stories, but a mention is appreciated. To use one of the seven aforementioned characters in a story, it must not be for profit and you must seek my permission (I'll most likely be fine with it as long as you keep the character intact). The only reason I am adding this is because I may want to use these characters in a novel with appropriate changes due to copyright restrictions. I do not own My Little Pony blah blah blah etc.
Ah Legos, my old nemesis. We meet again!
Keep it up mate! The story sounds good so far, but you might want to pace your self a little more.
Ha! That doors from ''The Walking Dead''!
Perfect
This should get interesting...

I agree with you about the pacing. Over the course of the story, it will seem somewhat clunky in its delivery. Like opening the story by breaking the fourth wall, sometimes the only way I can get past a mental block or make the story work is to write in a bit of pacing that doesn't quite fit. I think the way I warp time works okay in the second chapter, which I plan to upload once I've got a few pages into chapter 3.
It's good to know that you enjoyed it.
To anyone reading this:
This is a great story. Seriously. I would completely recommend not reading the thumbs ratio for now, as the newly-added synopsis may hint to you.
It's always unfortunate when a story like this is given such a bad start. I hope it does the best, Doctor. I recommend a light bout of CPR.
If it wasn't for so much originality, I'd say you pu;;ed it strait from the walking dead also, I kinda disapprove of Tippy, when ponies are caught they die. I not saying it isn't wrong, wait, is she a Juggernaut or something?
Also, where'd I put that gif? ok found it i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/166/622/131363984010.gif

“Don't you know who the buck I am? I'm the Tippynaut, mare!"
But yes, Tippy is the Juggernaut.
As you can see, she's useless when tickled. EVERYTHING tickles.
1266429 juggernauts can make orr break a story, they're are very dangerous and I'm scared to use them

Juggernauts are very dangerous unless you make them a little girl who is a complete moron.
nice!now PREPARE FOR YOUR EXAMINATION!!!
DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE?

The doors from The Walking Dead, episode one. It's supposed to be read as "Don't Open: Dead Inside"
omfg
I suppose by now you're wondering about our peculiar mode of transport?
I say, our mode of evisceration
And I suppose by now you're wondering
- Why the heck is this fic so underrated?

I'm spending today writing their song.
You just gave me an idea for one of the lines I was having trouble with.
1358082
It's good to see I've got another person who favourited my story.
In relation to your concerns, I agree with them all.
I've got myself into a good place for the cursing from this point, as most of the meanings have been established and I've got the timing set out for each character.
The story's only just starting at this point, naturally there will be side-tracking events which get in their way. I tried to make it a bit confusing and off the wall, as my writing draws inspiration from Terry Pratchett and Derek Landy.
I'm always up for suggestions on formatting. Send me a message on how you think the formatting could be improved (formatting gives me the most trouble).

My editor and I had that concern at first, but then I thought that every male dog was a son of a bitch. It was the best I could think of for S.o.B.
Colt of a mare isn't the greatest curse (nor will it be the most used), but I thought that son of a mare didn't follow that pony-pun convention enough to give Dr. Gluefoot's speech pattern the best contrast.

Okay, you win on that one.
I'm editing it now.
Is it the song that made you take so long?

Mostly. There was a lot of rearranging the lines only to swap them back, then reversing the swap, then changing my mind again.
Writing a musical number in story format took an extra two days after finishing the lyrics. I have at least 3 more planned, which is going to be a pain.
I've also been helping some people with assignments and other important things (replaying Majora's Mask added a couple of days as well).
I've got a plan for chapters five and six, just need to find the right link between a few events.
I also just noticed that I lived a different number of days between releasing chapters 3 and 4 than occurred between the releases... I blame the weeping angels.

Doctor Who! I literally just finished watching all the seasons...well not the first two, they're incredibly bad.

Rose was annoying, but her chest made up for it.
Martha and Donna actually had skills, which was brilliant.
Amy and Rory had a "solid" history that kept changing and erasing itself.
My favourite's always have the saddest endings that get you right in the feels.
DO IT AGAIN!
nice new chapter!
I just realised I had an inconsistency with the events in chapter 1, when Gluefoot explained Tippy's injury (It feels weird to talk about Tippy having an injury).
It was caused because I originally had her smash into a tree and smear blood all the way down. I toned it down on advice from my editor though.
I fixed it up, but I though I'd let you know that I'm finally making decent headway on chapter 5.
Okay, let's see.
Sigh of relief transmogrified into hearty laughter.
I lost it.
I- Wha-
That's not- With fava beans and Chianti?!
Okay, Doctor, your writing has improved immensely, and the natural humour you possess is finally shining through,
Aw shit looks like I got competition :
My similiar story.

I highly doubt that it's going to be similar, as I should probably put a random tag on this...
I'll give your's a read (I LOVE stories about the undead).

What do you think? Random tag?
