    4. Funny, I imagined Raynor as a earth pony, then again I imagined most of the cast as earth ponies, except maybe Kerrigan and Tosh as awesome unicorn and probably doctor Hansen as well

    5. I wanted to add that I just love how Rarity rants over the colors and design of the Hyperion. While the story is already very good in itself, that was simply priceless. ^^ By the way, will there be Protoss too? I really hope so.

    6. @Anonymous I was surprised that Matt Horner didn't turn out to be a Unicorn. Pegasus also sort of fits him though. Also, I agree with you on Raynor.

    11. I would have appreciated it if the guns had somehow transformed so that they could be used by ponies rather than just not giving an explanation at all. Then again there is always the invisible hands explanation, where all ponies are somewhat magical and their hooves grab onto things using "magical fingers."

      Overall pretty good and I'm looking forward to the next part.

    12. @IAreLemons Lol! Nice.... I'm about to start making pony pics and ponyfics myself xD lawl.


      @Story: It's good so far. I can see where you could touch up on the dialogue, or where you seemed to rush a few things, but I like it. Hopefully the next part will be a bit less hectic so we can really get a grasp on the situation.

    13. Ack, another crossover that's actually pretty well done! Confound you ponies, you drive me to read fanfics!

      Although, minor gripe to author: The uh, SC folks shouldn't saying be "pony" anything.. and if they do, as part of.. what happened to them.. then it should be lampshaded or at least pointed out. It's odd that none of them did in the current version of either chapter..

    14. @GeneralQuestionSummary: Chapter 3 sheds some light on ponies and tech. Raynor has plans for being a unicorn. Tychus could be a pegasus or earth pony (inb4asked).

      @Above Anon: Spoilers much? Not much to say, just be alert that the first 2 chapters don't revolve around serious thinking (hence why Twilight was put unconscious, think she doesn't have questions?)

    21. I really wanted this to continue also.

    22. I apologize for the lloonngg wait. However, the main section of the next chapter is proving to be quite a challenge to flesh out correctly. Everything else is polished to the bone (the beginning and end).
      I haven't stopped this, don't worry.

    23. Heh, I waited longer for the fanfic "Pony Space" to update longer, it's alright, it's starcraft and ponies, what more do we need? :P

    25. Oh my god it updated.
      Please excuse that non-productive post above.

      ReplyDelete
    26. Wow, this is an old one. I was hoping it'd get updated!

      ReplyDelete
    27. Earth Pony = Terran
      Pegasi = Zerg
      Unicorn = Protoss

      ReplyDelete
    28. Pretty good, but where are Applejack and Fluttershy? guess we'll see them more in the near future

      ReplyDelete
    29. Zecora, Queen of rhymes?

      I like the way this story is heading... And seeing as it does not have a grimdark tag... I expect there won't be that much death in it.

      I do hope to see where this is going!

      ReplyDelete
    30. I'm only hoping updates don't take too long... But otherwise nice story.

      ReplyDelete
    31. Y u no update moar?!
      And I'd like to see Celestia turn into a bamf and wipe out an entire swarm all by herself

    32. @Wilson Bennett One of them is asleep and has PTSD; the other is cowering somewhere because, not only is she very shy, she is inside the very enemy of nature: industry.
      They'll appear when the time comes.

      @Narrator Death will be everywhere, but that's a side effect of war. Besides that, there isn't anything planned that would require a [Grimdark] tag.

    33. Great story, keep up the good work. My only criticism is that since the story is primarily action and therefore by necessity, fast paced, It comes off a little non-immersive and detached. A good counter to this since the pace really should not be adjusted due to the urgency of events is to add a bit more introspection to the characters. Give them more character, more life as it were.

    34. I'm liking this so far. It's too young to actually judge, though. However, I'm not too sure if I like the seemingly alive Overmind instructing the new... Queen? Celebrate? Princess?... but other than that, nothing bad.
      Also, according to the chapter 3, the line "Zerg never made it inside; your men do their job too well." in ch. 2 should be "your colts", correct?

      PS. For maximum enjoyment, SC2 Terran music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcghLSIpZlM

      PPS. The lore is a bit sketchy in details, so until Heart of the Swarm I'm fairly sure most things go. Honestly, the best summary I've found for Overmind is in TV-Tropes' Thanatos Gambit page.

    35. It's too bad that they're that early in the campaign though, as they have no cool units: no goliaths or wraiths or even helions or vikings. Heck, considering they don't even have marauders or firebats yet, it's surprising that they have dropships/medivacs. (Which one is it, BTW? The old one from SC1 or the new SC2 model?)

      ReplyDelete
    36. @Hertzila Replying to both your comments:
      Generally, the items that are heavily weighted on established lore are past (or so I hope). The lore gets messy the deeper you search, I have tried it. The Overmind is indefinitely dead, also. I'll leave you to find out exactly what I alluded to there (and how I shattered any remaining SC2 plot).
      For machinery: I'm looking at limited SC1 stuff. SC2 pretty much establishes that the Raider's are low on funds for much more than fuel and moral, and even that was dwindling had Raynor not caused the riot. As for that dropship, it could be an old one from SC1 or the Spec Ops dropship which is first seen in the first mission. I haven't decided which option I'm going to take.

    37. Man, if only they had Tosh, I would have really loved to see how he would go with this, that, and he could do all sorts of crazy tricks with his butterfly knife if he had a horn. Although, I could see his dialouge being a pain to right with the accent.
