not really, yeah it is more game based then show based, there's still a good amount of non-game stuff.

In this case, it's jsut about Twilight. Though I did originally plan to include Pinkie too.

Canon fanon.

Wonder how that works.

@Seraphem

Just because the original author went back and said Sure, Why Not? to a fan's justification for the situation doesn't mean that the original story isn't at fault. That added chapter was not the intent of the original author, so I can still fault the story with said issues as it is originally written.

Oh, we're talking about fanfic now? I guess I should take the time to plug My big story. Even Pannic thought it wasn't terrible, and he hates everything.

If shipping isn't your thing, there's also This (which I wrote for Applelight), and this, which I'm not sure why I wrote it.

Also, goody another discussion about the quality of FE.

Because it's funny.

Good thing you don't come to the skype chat much. They talk about FOE a ton.

Except nothing before 20.5 goes against what it puts out, lack of information given =/= information does not exist, obviously she has some reason for doing it, and given we learn nothing that counters what was in 20.5 there is no reason it wasn't her reason from the start.

I would have preferred a Chosen One player character instead, based on the Fallout 2 protagonist. They'd have legit reason to be stressed over the village elder insisting they live up to the legend of their ancestor and tribe founder. It would also add a legit pressure for them to save their village by finding the GCCK (Gardens of Canterlot Creation Kit).

The Littlepip/Homage relationship doesn't really bother me. I just think that "Hey, do you know any lesbians?" is a cheesy as fuck way for it to start.

Oh frell...don't even get me "started" on Fallout Equestria.

Stuff like that is why I've never read more than a couple of books of the Dune series - if I have to keep notes as to what's happened so far...

@ JT

What does that little green H on your profile mean?

Fallout2 is 2d right? That's at least theoretically possible for fans to make a total conversion mod of.

@Seraphem: I think what he means is that when FE was originally written that chapter wasn't there to fill that gap in the story. The chapter is basically a retcon that goes back and fills a hole that was there. The hole might be filled now but the author of the original story didn't fill it. It sounds like you're saying "it's okay that the story had a plot hole because somebody else went back and wrote something to explain it". It might have an explanation now, but it doesn't mean that there isn't a hole. You shouldn't have a gap in your story that forces somebody else to write something that explains it.

@Applelight: I'm one of the forum heralds, specifically for the fanfiction subforum.

Also, y'know, porn.

And anyway, lemme hawk my stuff - The Book of Friendship, AAAAAAAAAAAArientation, This Nearly Was Mine, The Changelings Encounter Bug Spray, and Make Our Garden Grow.

@Seraphem

I'm not disputing the story's declared canon. I'm saying that the holes were present in the original work, and had to be filled by someone else. The author still messed up in her story.

It's like in comic books. Just because a later author goes back and retcons or justifies the events of a bad story by a past author to make sense doesn't change the fact that the original story is still bad.

That, pretty much. Saying "yeah, but they fixed the hole" doesn't change the fact that there was a hole to begin with.

Also this; even if I did intend on reading the rest of FE, I'd ignore that chapter for that reason. I know that you can technically skip those parts, but I feel like if a big chunk of the chapter is irrelevant enough that you can skip it, those chunks of the chapter shouldn't be there.

if that was waht she said yeah, but it wasn't

She asked if homage, who knows more about what damn near everything in the wastelands then anypony, knew of any mares that might like her. Which given her orientation is perfectly reasonable, making a big deal about "know any lesbians" would be like if Pip were straight and you made a big deal altering her words to say "hey know any straight stallions?" Don't use "" unless you are going to say what was said word for word

@Yeller: I just find the Chosen One has a more compelling background than the Vault Dweller of the third Fallout. The Original Dweller was interesting, but I still prefer the Chosen One's story because Horrigan was a neat antagonist and there was so much to do.

*knows nothing about the Fallout series*

This is why I'll probably never finish it (apart from it being boring). It's been so long since I stopped reading that I'd have to reread large parts of teh series to get it.

@ JT

Ah I see...

Ah yes, Dune. It had a lot of really cool concepts and the setting is really cool, but the prose itself can be painfully dull. I read the second book and when I was done I felt like very little had happened, and I had no idea what had caused anything.

Except we don't know the hole would exist. if 20.5 was written after the entire story was completed then yeah you two would be right. but since it was written while the story was still in progress, there's nothing to say kkat wouldn't have filled in the hole on her own at some point but didn't see the need to after 20.5

I know almost nothing about the Fallout series either.

Anyway, you should give the Portal Advance game a try. It's not too long and it starts off easy.

You want to see some pictures of humanized Cutie Mark Crusaders?

Here's Number 1 and Number 2, and they are totally safe for work!

Boy, those three are adorable, aren't they? Although I think Apple Bloom wearing coveralls makes her look more distinctive from Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo!
