Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes

Just started reading another side story, Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes and so far it seems pretty good. The main character is simply adorable and the story has a nice slow pace. Seeing the wasteland as seen through the eyes of a little filly is a completely different experience and I love it. Oh, and she's an earth pony, so it's a nice change of pace :)

The only down side so far is the story pacing, it kind of jumps around a bit, but I suspect it's due to a need to establish the setting and characters. Also, it's on fimfiction.net, which is not easy to read on a phone. Does anyone know if there is a mobile mode or something to help with formatting?

Over all, worth a read and a rather unique experience :D

Talk about the devil! Again!
You guys read my mind, I swear. xD

Currently have a tab open with this story, wondering whether to read it or not. The FiMfiction reviews and ratings are pretty good (4.8), so I'm serioulsy considering it.
Not sure though... After all, with all these sidestories, one can easily get confused on what belongs in which story. xD

Ok, finished chapter four, still a cute/sad little story. Puppy can be a trully scarry force when she is pushed and I love her interactions with "Questioner" XD

One thing that's bothering me is how often the word "retard" is used, I was a special ed teachers assistance in high school for a couple years and saw first hand how a single word could totally destroy someones confidence. But, other then that, I'm really enjoying this story :D

Tell me about it, I get events in Project Horizons mixed up with the primary story mixed up a lot.

I just finished chapter 13, this just keeps getting better. I loved the explanation of how Puppysmiles is still moving, although I had figured out most of it already, and her habit of hitting Henry with stuff is pure comedy. And, like usual, it manages to blend comedy, cuteness and sadness perfectly, even at the same time. The scene on the battlefield had my emotions torn in multiple directions art once.

Keep up the great work!

BTW, Kkat lists this as one of the two side stories she wants to read after she finishes FO:E. Sounds like a good recommendation to check it out if you haven't already :)
