NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ALL THESE STORIES :(

Navy Brony said...

I get it's all sci-fi and stuff, but what's with the story image being a musical instrument? lulz

kihap said...

Ok looks like a portal story from the description. I'll go in praying it isn't worse!

MasterLuigi452 said...

Sounds like GLaDOS to me...

Niko said...

Now that definitely got my attention. Looks like I have something new to read

jebus, all those tags.

Zachary D. said...

Tags are all over the place. Must read!

Mindblower said...

Grimdark conflicts with Friend-shipping and Normal. Normal conflicts with Random and Sci-Fi. Sad conflicts with Comedy. For the love of all that is literature, make up your mind about the genres!

Bombedrumbum said...

CONGRATULATIONS, RAVEN!! I knew you'd make it!! :D

Bombedrumbum said...

@MindBlower believe me, it covers them all, Mindblower :D

Marrock said...

*sees grimdark and sad tags... moves on*

kihap said...

It was worse...

But still an awesome read.

Rizvi said...

It's sucked ass. Horrible.

amddude said...

I read this story before it was cool.

*hipster glasses*

Travis Smith the Shadowbolt said...

@amddude
I wondered where I put those

MattMHV said...

Strange, in Fallout 2 there's a similar situation, if you go deeper on a military base (can't remember the name), you will find a computer (amazingly name skynet), the dialogue with it is pretty interesting, look up on youtube if interested

Rizvi said...

Cause the author is shit and trash and can't make an original story!

Eh... This was good and bad.
It was a good concept and plotline but the lack of information on how this world differed from canon Equestria in history and events, as well as the confusing inclusion of Twilight Sparkle and the contradictions between the "sickness" she mentioned in the recording and the AI's twisted interpretation of organic entropy as a sickness just made the whole thing not make any sense. It honestly might have been better if you had included less contextual setting, allowing the story to exist in a "bubble" without so many confusing tangents for the reader to wonder about.

Also this story is so overdone I think I've see/read/played it in one version or another about 20 times by now.

In addition, the Friendship is Magic setting is interesting because it has the ability to take common themes and present them in an extremely original way, this seemed to just use the setting as a placeholder and did absolutely nothing unique with it.

We don't go to Ravenholm.

cheezesauce said...

congrats on getting this up here :)

Chromosome said...

I was really excited to start reading this story when I figured out what the concept was. It sounded really cool. Finishing it, though, I found myself vaguely disappointed at the ending and execution. The pony character really doesn't have anything going for him. I understand that he's being observed by the machine, meaning his personality isn't going to be elaborated upon, but that caused him to be rather hard to connect with.

I'll stop there, because quite frankly, this is a moment to be applauded rather than critiqued. Good on you for getting it up here!

Bombedrumbum said...

@Chromosome hey, at least somebody read it

RavensDagger said...

The real fianl version.

Silly party had me away while my first fic made it to EqD... Oh well,

RavensDagger said...

@Khangle
Wasn't intended. In fact this entire description is the first one I sent in... Seems like EqD didn't bother to scrool down the Email page to see the last one. They even posted the wrong link... Oh well, I don't care. I made it to EqD!

Thank you for reading my mediocre piece of fiction, I can guarantee that there is more coming. After all I am filled with stupid ideas! Have a nice day folks!

RealityDowngrade said...

Very nice, this story greatly appeals to my draconian side. I thought you were going to end the story on some lame infection story, like zombie apocalypse, but instead went with an actually logical and truly life affirming ending. Though I must say I'm a bit biased because the Cybermen are my favorite Dr. Who characters.

ZeroHero said...

Dude, Raven, way to go buddy! :D

I knew this would get featured one day. Your dream came true, my friend. Congradulations!!!

You are an inspriation to me, good sir. You helped me oversome my initial fears of writting and gave me the courage to even attempt at what you've done here. Seeing you accomplish your goal gives me hope for myself. :)

Well done, Raven, you deserve this. :)

CyberJacob said...
