      @retl I was told that Horizons starts fine, but degenerates in the long run. (I wouldn't be here without #)

        @kamikaze It sorta depends on what you read it for. Horizons is structurally sorta like an anime/soap-opera spinoff of Fallout Equestria that works better in an episode-by-episode sense, but isn't nearly as tightly-woven a tale as FoE. It also has a tendency to want to give answers/explanations for things from FoE in ways which imply a different meaning for those events in PH's universe. PH gets to funny parts more readily and gets more explicit far more quickly than FoE. Callbacks to previous chapters are present, but far more sparse. If you try to read Project Horizons with the same straightforwardness of FoE or to focus on the crossover elements, it will be disappointing. If you're OK with a bit more over-the-top adventure-comedy story that takes place in a universe slightly different from FoE, it may be worth following.

          @retl Doesn't sound like it's my thing. Thanks for clarifying.

      @thatonestocking I may be getting my robo-people mixed up, but wouldn't that make her an Android?

      @thatonestocking I have no idea how to do the black-text thing. || That's part of why I describe it as over-the-top and similar to anime. Two easy comparisons (one in part due to direct references in-story): Full Metal Alchemist, Dragon Ball Z. Either way, it's not that far out of universe bounds. Re: Necromancy FoE style. Re: Courier of New Vegas. Doesn't mean everything they do in the story is a good idea.

      @thatonestocking "Author hadn't planed that far ahead" They had already planned beyond it as far back as chapter 18ish (author's note for chapter 52), but I have no idea if they planned that particular event. Even Kkat intentionally left some elements unplanned until they were being written (Kkat Interviews). || And now the # segment: I have more issues with the existence of the OIA than anything else the story does. I understand why it's there as a narrative tool. I like a number of the particular adventures it facilitates happening at all. Still uncomfortable. (Also, she's just as suicidal after becoming cyberpony as she was prior. The first two things she does after not dying is A> DRINK SUICIDAL LEVELS OF BOOZE B> TRY TO RUN TO DEATH) Puppysmiles is best pony.

      @thatonestocking Know what would have been weird but neat? If they ended it right after defeating Deus and left the open end for other writers to pick up.

      @thatonestocking Shoot, I never considered that. That would have been kinda spiffy too.
