Oh, I know what you mean, and I agree that some fics like that would be nice to see. I'm just telling what I'm doing.

I know. I was just saying there needs to be more of them. The fanfics are pretty much handing a extremely good setup and going to writers, "make me". The start and finish, the lore, the setup and pretty much everything is already set up for people to write and someone would have to intentionally try to make a bad fanfic in the era for it to be bad.

Damn Iron, Good luck. I don't see too many artist that take requests and never one that did a cover for a story.

[Ironmonger]

That's partly why I've decided to take up digital art. If I can't commission the art I need for my projects, then I will make it myself.

[Guest]

Personally I'd recommend physical media. It lacks a ton of the features of course but the materials are a lot cheaper and are likely laying around your home. I'm sure there's a degree of retraining when you do finally move up to digital but if you find you don't enjoy art you haven't invested anything.

[Ironmonger]

I enjoy art a lot, and I used to draw, but I can't do it anymore because I have issues with my hands, and my eyesight is quirky. I find digital art quite enjoyable, so it's all good.

I haven't gotten robbed yet, but I do now have large amounts of free time, for reasons, if I spent it on turning the rant above into a Fallout Equestria story about Equestria right after the bombs would anyone read it?

In a word: Yes. Who knows, maybe it will even educate people.

Oh god please tell me you don't expect a fanfic to educate people about anything serious...

Remember kids when someone tries to fire their nuclear missile into your ideal impact point or in a way you don't like that's no good.

You know that brings up a interesting side point.  Why aren't there more fallout equestria sidefics that take place right after the bombs or a couple years after?  Fanfics circa the time of the original or after have been done to fucking death and back.  It would be a extremely gritty variation on the world, and I don't mean the "constant violence" sort of gritty so much as fighting against the elements, freezing cold of nuclear winter and struggling to find food sort of gritty.

Basically imagine metro 2033 + fallout equestria.

Because "OH MY FUCKING GODDESSES THE RADIATION IT BURNS AADFHASJLDHFKLADSJASLJADD:GASDFKHLASDJF:ADSJFA:SDFASDKGWET" is a bit harder to turn into a story than you would think.

@cb5: (morons) Oh dear Gummy... now I got one of those fucktards on me... they wailed at me for complaining that an artist went half-assed and did really poorly on one of the pics in a "alternative version" drawing, saying they were exactly the same, and that I should do my homework, I provided piles of evidence for them in how they are different, why it matters, and in what way the anatomy differs and how it's important. and they just did a "lol, stop being claiming it's bad just because it doesn't have a penis! it's different from a vagina, doesn't take a genius to figure out!"

*Ahem* Anyhow, yeah, we are not really a "useful" species so to say. And that pic kinda sums it up.

Honeslty have wanted to get to murderer... and potentially other stuff with certain people just from being SO damn dense and fucked.

Hasn't stopped any video games or movies from making stories about a post apocalypse only several years after a nuclear war.

True, but I think the more major issue is that you'd mostly end up with a story either focused on characters becoming ghouls (which would be cool, I think, but isn't what most people writing FOE stories are inspired to do) or early days in the Stables (again, not usually what people are inspired to do). That's my reasoning, anyway.

Yeah, but the FoE universe is getting kind of stale cause think of it as like a magic trick.  If you keep doing it the same way it's going to get boring.

Someone doesn't have to go out and change their entire writing style and they can continue to make stories based around the time of the original FoE, just introduce something new to the universe.

It would be interesting to see if someone went, "Hmm what new thing can I bring to the table?" and made a story off of it.

Have you tried Wasteland Bouquet? We don't know exactly when it's set, but it's before Red Eye comes to power, at least.

You do realize that you proved my point in that there needs to be more pre-FoE fanfics in that current pre-FoE fanfics like wasteland bouquet prove that they have a good set up and that they would make good fanfics, and that my entire point in a nutshell was pre-FoE fanfics would be extremely good cause it would tell the story in a different way from what we have seen right?

To use a analogy think of the dark knight trilogy.  It's the same story in a nutshell, just told in a different way and the second one and first one kicks serious ass.

In order for a story universe to remain interesting it has evolve story wise and introduce new things constantly.  If the FoE community started focusing on pre-FoE stories it would be a massive revitalization to the creativity of the world and wasteland bouquet proves that pre-FoE fanfics would be pretty damn good.

You could also do some neat things with the enclave I think. Their government is just establising itself and their kicking griffons off mountaintops and all the other stuff.

Good thinking, Iron! We'll use the cane's magic to revitalize that dead horse! It's genius! Quick, more cane jokes!
