So when miniature boats and trees begin washing up on Equestria's east coast, she is immediately summoned.

Chapters (6)
It's a little bit early for me to form a full opinion.
Nevertheless, I like it so far and I eagerly await more.
Keep churning out them chapters, buddy!
2233279 Will do, not sure when. Peace at Last still needs finishing.

2234108 Did i do good? I know it's not the whole "humans" thing, but at least i gave her the ability to get hands when she wants them! anything in particular you liked?
2234116Hard to say entirely this early... but the idea is great! I do really like the adventure feel
2234131 It's sort of based on a certain novel by a Mr. Johnathan Swift...
also, Charles Darwin is a pegasus now. Pegasi are cool.
2234137
2234139 Moustache accepted.
I SMELL CHAOS AND MISCHIEF
2235643 Indeed! you could say a storm is gathering! and also, Shift is basically Angel... with opposable thumbs!
2235648 CHAOS
2235747 Quite.
Another good fic.
Blackwing seems like the type that want at least halfway more than decent. If it was me I just do with what I got, but its your fic so keep going.
2247351 Blackwing is meant to be a character you keep guessing about. she is the main antagonist, after all.
2247403
You really got a thing going on here don't you? Oh and one more thing. I'm making a group called "The Chain Army". Sadly it won't be operational till Dragon Chains is half-way finished.
2247436 I'll be on the lookout! now to complete chapter 3 of this fic and work on finishing Peace at last! EXCELSIOR!!!
Well, Hi Trixie! I'd offer the service of Texas Red, but...considering he's a Human/cybernetic augmented human....Hmm...
2252257 NO HUMANS IN THIS UNIVERSE!!! There is steampunk, so the cyborg part is okay!
2252372 So, I could have a cyborg show up? even when said cyborg looks like so: images.wikia.com/metalgear/images/f/ff/RaidenRisingIntro.jpg
Would that work?
2252379 Needs to be a pony, but yes. anyway, is the fic good?
2252390 Pretty good! huh...pony cyborgs only huh? Darn it...you'd think they'd model them after the 'humans of myth/legend' to make life a bit easier on them, for battle, or daily things, like reaching higher things, and such...
2252403 Sorry, no humans in myth or legend. if you want more modern cybernetics than steampunk, try boardor. (imagine half life/borderlands/portal/tf2/Jurassic park/fallout.) still no humans, though.
2252427 aw...ah well...(your turn in the RP though.) Hmmm what would a ponified version of the pic I produced look like...*tries to imagine it...*
Rainbow Crash faces the other (character), looking at them with determined eyes.
"I have just the picture for you."
2825051 Really? or are you talking to Red?
2825073 im talking to you.
2825078 Alright. I can't wait to see it!
2825093 It should be done by tomorrow.
2825108 ...Tomorrow?
I'm going on a 10-day trip tomorrow...
2825128Really? Oh man! 10 days? Are you sure?
2825138 Yes. to Maine. Not sure if i'll have internet. BUT are you liking the fic?
2825145oh definatly!
2825177 Excellent! You are familiar with the monkey species Shift belongs to, yes?
2825196 hmm...
2825202 White-faced capuchin.
tropicaladventuresineducation.com/store/photo_gallery/large/white_faced_capuchin_mono_carablanca-32.jpg
2825222oooohhhhh. Gotchya.
2825231 He's like Angel Bunny... but with thumbs!
Also, can I see your Deviantart account?
2825238um, thats the thing. I dont have one, but I have two computers. One does not have internet, but has Adobe Photoshop, so i can make your cover, put it in a flashdrive, hookit to this computer, and send it to you.
2825265 oh? excellent! that's just as good! tell me though, what do you like about the story so far?
2825274 I haven't decided! Its all just so good! I can think it through, but gimme a min.
2825297 I can wait. the sea pony was honestly hard to write. I was going for a mix between Pirates of the Caribbean's Tia Dalma and Ursula from the Little Mermaid.
2825327 gosh, at least you make it good. I would loose followers trying. Im that bad.
2825340 I honestly don't know how I do it! I just get a character outlined, try to capture their personality, and out pops a completed character!
2825381 you have a true gift. Honestly. I really cant do that.
2825391 I'm sure you will eventually. it's like RP-ing. you immerse yourself into the story.
2825398 well, i have no information on seaponies. And you do.
2825410 actually, all my info... is headcanon! I made it up!
2825426 really? Last time I made up something, I was hated to no end.
2825446 Well, you need to make it believable. you really didn't know that I made all that sea pony stuff up?
2825460 Well, no.
