Fallout Equestria, by Kkat / Kkatman - fascist sex horses and the insane fanfic writers powering their existance

How does a horse finger itself?
Also I dunno about you guys but when I'm about to blow chunks the last thing I want to do is get freaky with myself
By not using logic or something. Jacking off while vomiting is the last thing anyone would do but for the writer, nope. It's a fetish of his and anyone else that likes it.

I advise not trying to make sense out of nonsense and just point and laugh. And maybe barf. But don't finger yourself while barfing, that's weird.
That's the best thing to do at this fic, it's author, and it's fan base. Point and laugh at the idiocy of it all, at the fact that the writer had to for whatever reason include vomiting horse masturbation in an edgy fan-fic.
 
It's not just that he wrote two thousand pages - he wrote two thosand pages within a year or so.

Sure sign of quality.

The main reason is due to the fact that there isn't that much story in it. Padding is prevalent through the whole thing. That's the only thing Project Horizons got right (Even though I believe it is worse than the original fic), by actually having a better word-to-story ratio.
 
I think part of it is autism.

They literally don't get that novels are of a certain length, or a range of lengths, for a real reason. First is dramatic pacing and all that, but second is that it is out of some degree of respect for the reader's time, and that writing is essentially a social act intended to communicate. Writing a "novel" millions of words long misses the point of a novel.

This is correct, but I also think another reason fanfics can grow to such excessive length is because of editing, or more specifically, a lack thereof. Authors who've actually been published by imprints like Tor or Baen have usually spoke glowingly about their editors, and at this point in my life I can see why. A good editor will tell the author where he/she is wasting too much time, which plot points seem tangential or unnecessary to the plot and can be removed, how to trim three chapters' worth of content so that it all fits into one, when the plot seems to be escaping the author's control, etc. etc. etc. It's an invaluable service, and only fools, IMO, would refuse it.

Such a service is, of course, not usually available to fanfiction authors, for a variety of obvious reasons. Thus, with no-one to rein them in they often run wilder and far longer than would be wise. This isn't to be too hard on such authors, though--I myself (at the risk of getting powerlevel votes) learned the above lessons the hard way. But a tendency to extreme length isn't inherently a good thing, and is something experienced authors try to at least control, if not avoid. It is also something, therefore, any author (of fanfic or not) should take as good advice rather than an insult, and it's in the former spirit I've written the above.
 
Makes me wonder if a thread on long-ass stories like FO:E in general might be a good idea. I considered making a thread about the Smash fic, but it's beyond tedious to read right from the get-go, its length actually surpasses all of Song of Ice and Fire twice over, maybe even three times by now, and the worst thing is that it's far from done according to the author. At least FO:E has a trainwreck factor to it by virtue of being about grimdark ponies - the Smash fic is merely the product of a man with 'tism and way too much time on his hands.

Necro for something really interesting.

In Fallout 4, there is a terminal that refers to painting pony toys as well as having Derpy's catchphrase in it.

Fuck.

Worse.

Second one is Derpy's catch phrase...but the last one? "Clock is ticking" is a well-known overused line from Twilight Sparkle in the episode where she goes insane by not being able to report a friendship problem. In fact, the majority of that last one is a call back to that episode.
