I have become enraptured by the
Fallout Equestria fanfic.
I'm not much for fanfics. I expect them to suck, and I'd only ever bother to look at any if I was bored enough. I heard this one was notably good a long time ago (on EQD, I think), but I initially scoffed at the idea of Fallout + MLP. Eventually I took a look at the animated comics of the first 2 chapters, because they're more along my lines of interest, and they were easily enough to break me into reading way past that. It doesn't just slop the two settings together, it blends them well. The writing is exceptional; the images that their words paint are both interesting and complete. The characters just have a ton of depth to them. Anyways, I've gotten all the way to chapter 30 so far, and I'm mostly loving the story.
Aside from everything that's good about it, there's one thing I'm not fond of. Littlepip's girlfriend's special talents seem to be exposition and dirty thoughts. I'm grateful that any sex is only implied, but it doesn't add anything to the story to have innuendo inside jokes and sex talk either. Cheesy dirty talk is lame and stupid, unless you're one of the people directly involved; but they don't exist in reality, so there's no point to it. Littlepip's gf would actually be a pretty great character if there wasn't a 50% chance her being even mentioned would lead to gutter comments. Yeah, friends do that to each other, but it ought to be glossed over or implied as well, for the sake of the actual story. These situations are very few and far between, however, and pretty minor really. Sometimes I just gotta bitch about something.
Anyways, it's well worth checking out if you don't mind an occasional fanfic. The first 24 chapters had me hooked like crazy.
