[Adventure] [Friend-Shipping] [Dieselpunk (Sci-Fi)]
Author: RavensDagger
Description: Ten decades after a massive war, Equestria has changed. The Empire now rules over all, giving peace and prosperity to those that deserve it, but some are against this new rulership...Of Steam Gears and Wings (Update Part 2 Chapter 9!)
The CMC, a small, raggedy group of smugglers working for the Apple family, are caught red-hoofed by an Imperial patrol. As the friends fight for their lives, they learn about themselves, each other, and the world they now reside in.
Meanwhile, in Canterlot, Emperor Blueblood has amassed a massive fleet and is preparing to smash what is left of the rebellion under the oppressive hoof of his Empire

VastaKustutaNot a huge steampunk fan, but this looks really good!
VastaKustutaDieselpunk sounds AWESOME!
VastaKustutaGOOD JOB RAVENSDAGGER!
VastaKustutaI read this before it was on EqD. *Hipster glasses*
I'm very pleased to see this here! I hope that subsequent chapters live up to the excitement of the first!
VastaKustutaAs did ah.
VastaKustutaThis looks appealing to me, definitely goin to read this one soon.
VastaKustuta@Applejack
VastaKustutaWait a minute. You seem familiar...
@Cloudy Haste
VastaKustutaHeya Cloudy!
@ponydoraprancypants
Thanks mate! I sure hope that every chapter is attention grabbing and action packed. Unfortunately I know that that isn't always the case. With this sort of fic you need to be careful when balancing world building, character development and action. So a little bit of everything for everypony.
Dude nice raven!
VastaKustutaCongrats on making to EqD Raven!!!!!!
VastaKustutainb4 "It's About Time" clip shitstorm.
VastaKustuta@BZKlint
VastaKustutaIt's coming ...
This looks pretty interesting, will give it a read
VastaKustuta@BZKlint
VastaKustutaIt's about time somepony wrote a Steampunk fic! (Might as well have been me rather than some troll)
@ponydoraprancypants
VastaKustutaEyup.

VastaKustuta*Mega Hipster glasses*
Congrats RavensDagger!
VastaKustutaYes!!!! way to go, pal! I knew you'd get this up here too. :D
VastaKustutaAnd just to fall into the standard responses, "I too read this before it was posted" :P
Again, good job buddy. Now to see if we can go full circle, and see if i can get my fic posted here one day....
@ZeroHero
VastaKustutaFix it up then send it to SALT!
I am working on two other fics (I mean other peoples, my own fics tend to come first but I am ahead of schedual so I should be fine), when I get the time I'd love to help you mate!
@RavensDagger
VastaKustutaIt's still in rough draft stages. But for sure, once i get it typed up, SALT is the first place im posting it. I love to get your feedback, work out all the kinks, then see where it goes from there. :D
So thanks in advance, it means alot knowing you're there to help me. :)
I highly advise giving this a read. As a pretentious pony, even I'm not immune to the charms of this tale. Not only that, but the story itself has huge potential!
VastaKustuta@Chromosome
VastaKustutaPretentious pony, you`re just saying that cause I mention you in it.
I was reading this while it was being written, like our friend Dr Discord.
VastaKustutaHipster glasses will be donned.
Oh, and....
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SECOND FIC, RAVENS!!
SALT is really working....
This is on my reading list for sure.
VastaKustutaDude, you have grabbed my attention by the flank, This is DEFINITELY Going on my Read List!
VastaKustuta@RavensDagger
VastaKustutaUhm...maybe? But I actually liked it a lot, too, and that's the honest truth.
Pfffft Dieselpunk. Real stallions use steam.
VastaKustuta@Yuri
VastaKustutaDieselpunk is a slightly more advanced version of Steampunk. They both have the same origin and they share quit ea few similarities. The main difference is that dieselpunk has a penchant for the arcane and that Steampunk tends to be crisp and clean contrary diesel' grim and dirty.

>Emperor Blueblood
VastaKustuta-...?
Is it like Emperor Palpatine ?
@Nova25
VastaKustutaPossibly, maybe. Partially.
Star Wars was always a huge inspiration to me, don't be surprised to see a few elements here and there.
@Yuri
VastaKustutaTo add to RavensDagger's explination, Steampunk is modeled after the Victorian Era (19th Century) the design uses lots of wood, brass, glass, Orante designs and the like. Dieselpunk is modeled from the 1920s-Early 1950s. (20th Century) It relies heavily on Steel, Glass, Art Deco/Postmodern design, and has more advanced technology (I.E: Internal Combustion Engines, Basic electronics, Radar, etc)
Congrats on getting your story up on Equestria Daily! :D
VastaKustutaHuzzah, it updated! I do have one question about Zap Apple Fuel though, is it a very high octane Avgas (aviation gasoline), or is it the pony equivalant of Jet Fuel?
VastaKustuta@EasyBreeze
VastaKustutaI`ll answer this, no real spoilers here.
Zap apple fuel is two things in this fic.
First it is a really powerful fuel. Think of it as high octane or Nitrusoxide (I know I misspelt that...).
It is also a fuel that isn`t regulated by the government. Hence it is illegal to posses. Also, because production is so... odd. The amounts made are very small. Making the fuel exotic and valuable.
i read the first one and now i'm finding out that the second one has already been out after i checked equestria daily every day for the last week i cannot wait to read the second and third one this is one of the best fan fiction's i have ever read

VastaKustutaWhere's the chapter 3 Google Doc?
VastaKustuta@Macronomicon
VastaKustutaEqD derped it TO THE MOON!
Kidding.
Honestly i am not quite sure what happened to it. Sorry, You'll have to wait until I am done editing to get to it.
Russianhippie:
That is very heartwarming, thank you.
@RavensDagger
VastaKustutaand since its the Pony Equivalent of Nitrous Oxide, (That's how you spell it BTW, I'm actually an Auto Tech in Training) does it have that same quality where if you use too much, you end up spraying engine parts all across Equestria?
@EasyBreeze
VastaKustutaI think I mention that as a possibility. hehe.
does anyone know of any other mlp steam punk stories? I'd be interested in reading them because i've also been thinking of writing my own.
VastaKustuta@ChaosMedler
VastaKustutahttp://www.fimfiction.net/story/6007/The-Flight-of-the-Alicorn
I've yet to read it myself but it seems pretty good. (Surprising how much time everyday it takes to edit and write a story)
@RavensDagger
VastaKustutathanks so much, i hope to after finishing my first chapter of a fallout eqd story to try my hand at steam/diesal punk, sort of working out some ideas for some stories i'm currently working to publish, just finished reading your fic's first chapter was really good, will be glad to see more! =D
Damn good story. neeeed mooore...why hasn't this got 5 stars yet?
VastaKustuta@Kynan Forth
VastaKustutaHaha, I don't know... You can help with that though...
