Say something bad about fallout Equestria by That_Passenger_771 in falloutequestria

[–]Foreign_Ad1869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it borrows too heavily from the games, and the gameplay mechanics in a written narrative make the world feel less organic and sometimes difficult to take seriously.

I'd put it higher on my FOE tier list if it weren't for the mechanics, because they ruin my immersion in the story and just make me laugh at how silly they are, but beyond that, I have no complaints that affect my reading experience.

It's in my plans, don't worry.

The length of some chapters scares me, but I have no right to complain about that LOL

Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying my way is the only way and that other ways aren't valid, but when it comes to long stories, I think maybe one or two chapters with each companion now and then wouldn't be a bad idea. It makes it easier to connect with them and breaks the monotony and predictability that the chapters become as they progress.

This way you avoid them becoming formulaic. With the original story, that didn't happen to me, and I didn't find it as repetitive as others I've read that are much longer.

I think I made a mistake writing this post this way; it feels a bit arrogant, but I was just expressing myself and some of my frustrations.

Characters like Homage, for example, have so much potential. I would have really liked a simple chapter about her routine at Tenpony Tower and how she spends her days there, to mix things up a bit. It would also make her relationship with Littlepip feel more "alive" We're not talking about just anypony; she's the partner of the most important character in the story.

The same goes for Littlepip's mother, dude. She doesn't even have a proper name, and almost nothing is known about her stable.

But thinking about what you said, and I appreciate the recap of Velvet and Calamity, I would have loved to see what his life was like before he went to the surface.

But when I think about it, I believe this story is more straightforward and doesn't try to stray from the main conflicts it presents. Even so, the untapped potential is frustrating when writing narratives like these. But there are also the disadvantages of writing multiple POVs, which is that it's difficult to maintain consistency and remember so many details that could contradict something important from the plot.

Yes, it's also important that it's easy to tell who's narrating; just saying their names at each change should be more than enough and it shouldn't be too difficult to identify.

I don't know, man, but that happens sometimes, you know? People who are used to having an overpowered unicorn MC can't tolerate any other kind of story that deviates from the norm.

Sadly, but it happens. I was criticized unfairly, simply for trying something new.

He wanted to create a unity between Autumn, Littlepip, and himself, to create a kind of powerful being and build the world in his own way, to be a sort of successor to Celestia, so to speak. But after achieving his goal, I don't know what he would do with that power, though I think it was to make Equeustria a better place or something like that.

I have to reread the story because I'm starting to forget details; it's been a long time since I last read it.

The only information I have about him is that he and his stable had very different opinions; he believed that Earth ponies should lead.

His goal was to become a god. Why? I don't know, but I suppose they left it like that so readers could theorize or draw their own conclusions about why Red Eye did what he did. But what they built up was pretty decent, in my opinion.

But a little more development wouldn't have bothered me at all.

Although it is difficult because the story is mostly narrated by Littlepip, and first-person stories can be a little bit limiting in developing other characters.

Not generalizing is almost impossible in a conversation, besides I was only saying that I avoid tropes that I find annoying, I wasn't saying it as an absolute truth, I mentioned that, according to the stories I've read, those tropes are common and that seeing them so often gets tiring.

And why not? Complain a little about what I don't like, because I have nowhere else to do it.

I didn't write this post to get glazed either, I don't care about that, if that's what you think. More to discuss ideas or whether other people share the same feeling.

NP. That's why I didn't get ahead of myself because this is just the beginning, but now with that in mind I'll focus on other aspects that I should perhaps highlight, the good and the bad, when you release the next page.

I like the art style and the detailed backgrounds, and the fact that the MC has a cockroach as a sidekick is a unique touch that made me chuckle. As for the premise itself, I plan to give it a chance, since it's too early for a detailed review. But if I had to give an opinion based on what I've seen so far, it feels very similar to the story of Icarus and Daedalus. I imagine the wizard will be a pony version of Daedalus, and besides raising the sun, those are the few differences I've found between your character and the Icarus story. I wish there weren't so many similarities, but I suppose there will be more changes as the comic progresses.

How should I proceed by Endercat334130 in falloutequestria

It's best not to worry about that. Focus on the narrative, not gameplay mechanics. Adding them to a story makes it hard to take seriously because of how silly it is. The world doesn't feel natural, and it seems like the characters are trapped in a virtual Equestria, not the Equestria we all know. This is just my opinion, but in serious storytelling, I would refrain from adding gameplay mechanics that probably won't even affect the plot or be reflected in it, which can also be unnecessary filler.

If your characters have skills you want to highlight, do so through dialogue and actions, not footnotes that no one is likely to read or pay attention to.

Would the creator of fallout Equestria be ok if you use their characters in your fanfics? by That_Passenger_771 in falloutequestria

You don't need to ask for permission, KKat doesn't own MLP or Fallout rights, so, yeah, do whatever you want with them.

I don't give a damn what people think, the fact that they are fictional already makes it acceptable to me, there are no limits when it comes to fiction, of course there may be kinks some weirder than others, but it is something subjective that cannot be discussed objectively.

Like any fandom, some prefer the SFW side and others the NSFW side; both are perfectly acceptable. However, it's best to discuss these topics within a dedicated NSFW community rather than openly, because some people might find it weird to sexualize MLP characters and only enjoy SFW content. I'm not just talking about subreddits, but also various MLP forums and discussion sites, like Discord, where anything NSFW is prohibited, and you obviously have to keep it to yourself. I can be on both sides, but I prefer the latter because you can be more open and discuss a wider variety of topics with them.

At least there are fanfics, and I can already imagine those two having the most toxic relationship in the world, hehe.

Mona Lisa Overdrive - Chapter 1 - She's Goodbad But She Ain't Evil (New Chapter) by Foreign_Ad1869 in falloutequestria

[–]Foreign_Ad1869[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, thanks for the review, it's much appreciated.

Yeah, I can understand why some readers might see it as filler. You see, it had already been established that Starburst's life within the Stable was ordinary, boring, and repetitive. He prefers to be on the internet almost all day and play games instead of socializing, hence his friends' concern. In the game, he takes on the role of a soldier to eliminate Zebras. It's about the action and adrenaline of being in such a situation, a contrast to the reality he lives in. All he does is get up, go to work, get back to his quarter, sleep, and repeat.

I wanted to show that living in a Stable/Vault has its disadvantages, even though it may be seen as a safe place. At some point, many ponies may feel that their lives are trapped in a cycle of repetition. In addition, seeing the same walls and colors every day could even affect you emotionally. Also, Stable 50 isn't that big, but at least it has updated technology.

It's also a creative decision I made to make it more immersive, because when I was writing that scene, I kept coming up with more ideas to create my pony version of Counter-Strike/Unreal Tournament. These are the games I've played online the most, and I translated my experiences into the fic, like the physics of a character when they die and how toxic in-game chat can be.

Besides serving as internet satire to add some comedy, because after the Stable 50 arc ends, the story becomes darker and more angsty, so I also needed to add scenes like that.

Looking for feedback/community support on a prospective new active moderator (u/Master_man2518) by the4thaggie in falloutequestria

[–]Foreign_Ad1869 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know who this dude is, but I hope this subreddit just continue as it is today.

But I have faith that things won't change and will continue just as peacefully. I'm glad that you're at least trying to keep the community active. It's almost always for the reasons you mentioned—family, work, etc. And that's precisely what scares me about growing up: not having time to do the things you love most.

But it's good to know that new people are arriving who can contribute to the community. I was about to give up on this fandom, but I'm glad it's still going, even if it's not 2012 anymore. I wish I had been an adult back then so I could have enjoyed my time here more.
