Meet the Team: Pony Fortress 2

Compilation of Cross-Chapter Author's Notes

Here is where all the Author's Notes have gone. I moved them here to avoid breaking the immersion of any new readers who might read this story post-completion.

If you have already read the story, don't bother reading this chapter. There is nothing here but Author's Notes. (Unless you want to read it, of course, which is why this is here.)

Bonus: My Little Sentry

A/N: Like I said in my comment two weeks ago from the time of this chapter's publishing, the results for the Second Annual Saxxy Awards are out! My personal favourite was Story of a Sentry, followed by Bad Medicine. I've always been one for drama and sadness. Many feels were felt that day, which unfortunately distracted me from writing Meet the Heavy.

Anyway, I was thoroughly impressed by Story of a Sentry, so much that I decided to ponify it, which, if you'd read that comment I posted, the title of this chapter, and its first paragraph, should be rather obvious. If any of you want me to ponify other entries, just put it in the comments, and if there are enough votes for that entry, I'll ponify it. Preferably one of the finalists, because otherwise you'll have to provide me a link to the entry. Just keep in mind that that will delay my other chapters, especially since school is starting in about ten days' time, and I haven't started on finished my homework.

Warning: The ending (and a lot of the story) for this is different than the one for Story of a Sentry. It's different in about the same way that the Meet the Team shorts are different from their counterparts in this story. Don't say I didn't warn you. Also, there is a sad tag for this story. (Which is kind of obvious.)

I hope you enjoy my longest chapter yet (more than twice as long as any of the others) so hopefully that makes up for the two weeks of inactivity.

Well, that's it, folks. If I managed to make you sad, which I personally think unlikely, then I've done my job. Also, kudos to anyone who can figure out what I'm referencing with the Capture Point Crusaders. If you give up, click here. And you might also want to thank my good friend UtopianPencil on Steam for helping me edit my admittedly horrendous Microsoft Word-translated French in Meet the Heavy. It's different now, for all of you who checked it after I updated, which was on the Wednesday after I posted it, I think.

Anyway, Christmas is in two days. I hope this story makes you get into the holiday spirit of not sapping Engineer's sentry guns. Especially mine.

Happy holidays!

Meet the Medic (Part 1/2)

Now I know what you're thinking. "It's been so long already? Why do I get this really short part of a chapter?! Damn you're lazy!" This is, of course, the point where I object. This chapter is not short, by any means. I actually had to split in two because it got so long, and also because my good friend and editor UtopianPencil suggested that you, the audience, might get bored if this was too long. Bah! I still think it's fine. Of course, since there was the obviously very, very small chance that I was wrong (only about 99%, for your information), and also because I too lazy to write this all in one sitting, I split it for your reading pleasure.

So, enjoy! I promise part 2 will be up soon. As a matter of fact, I'm already almost done with it! Just so long as I'm not too lazy-

...Oh, right.

Yeah, keep your fingers crossed.

Meet the Medic (Part 2/2)

A/N: Well, here's part 2, just like I promised. Enjoy! Maybe a little late, but well, you know.

By the way, there is something at the end that you guys might not expect or like, but it'll be explained. Trust me.

Remember what I said about that thing you guys might not like? Well, if you've watched PWaaMLPfim's Turnabout Storm, you'll find these circumstances very, very familiar.

Sorry.

Meet the Medic (Part 3/2)

A/N: Alright, so here's the explanation. I was actually supposed to put it at the end of the last chapter, but I was kind of rushing to get it out so it slipped my mind until a few days later. Since I didn't want to edit it as I wasn't sure if everyone would see it, I'm putting it here instead.

So, the reason why I split parts 1 and 2 up in the first place is because as a whole, it was getting too long. Imagine my surprise when I found out that part 2 became too long as well. So I split it in half again, thus part 3/2.

All good? Okay. I've rambled for long enough. On to the story.

That is all.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. The complete origin story will be revealed in the sequel.

[Lag Incarnate]

And now we wait...

[Shadow Shard]

Sequel....sequel...sequel...sequel....Sequel...SEquel...SEQuel....SEQUel...SEQUEl...SEQUEL!!!

[Crimson Dawn]

I will have to read the sequel. The drama and tragedy of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie needs to be seen to the end...

It's pronounced ee-shian. Or at least that's how I pronounce it. Or perhaps ee-see-an. Or maybe ee-shee-an...
You know something's not quite right when you start asking yourself if you're pronouncing your own characters' names correctly.

Oh, there's going to be a lot more than just that. In fact, the tragedy may just seem minor compared to the other earth-shaking stuff I have in plan.

SEQUEL!

I did know all about it. I put it in the author's notes too, but since I relocated it to the final chapter of notes the acknowledgement's not in the chapter itself anymore. Thanks for the heads up though.

Why thank you! Of course, there isn't any more work being done on this story because it's pretty much complete. But the Incomplete tag stays till I publish the last chapter that will connect this story to its sequel, which is going up around... this weekend, if things go well.

Just because it's a TF2 crossover don't mean it shouldn't have actual story. Though compared to what I'm planning for the sequel it's got very little story in it.

The vote of confidence is very much appreciated.
I hope you enjoy the sequel too!

[Scarves]

3769918 Well, so far so good. And the future doesn't look that bad either. Now for a random idea that came into my head, I wonder what would happen if the Red and Blue teams from the Rooster Teeth series appeared? Ultimate chaos or inevitable destruction of known space?

[Fiddlove Enfemme]

3774672 Ultimate Chaos.

[Scarves]

4444911 Most likely. I bet Caboose would help with that. A lot.

[Fiddlove Enfemme]

4449170 Just add Washington. And Tucker. And Freckles. And Sarge, And Simmons. And Griff. And Lopez. And Sheila.

Heh heh heh... read on, my friend... read on...
