really depends on the position you want to take AFTER they leave the vault, everything that happens before is always interchangeable. If you like i can speak of a couple examples, give some tips? and if you would like a few friendly muttterances, then i would be happy too and just so i don't repeat my self or spill spoilers, tell me how much of kkats and sombers original equestria have you read?

You might try Google Docs, gives you access to editing your story no matter where you are, even from a smart phone.

once you got something that has basic grammer and spell check, you might want to think over what your charecters do within the vault, all the things that are BEFORE and lead up to the big world outside. if you already have some goals in mind for your bigger plot and intrinsic cast and crew, you will need to think about the reasons and 'reality' of WHY the protagonist wants/or/needs to leave the vault. Kkat's littpip left because of self-guilt, almost naive ambitions and an unrequited love (which later on didn't become the main focus but a catalyst for later events). Somber's blackjack left out of neccesity and an attack on her home, also presented a clear set of nasty targets (cannabalistic raiders? in my mind that was a new level of OH shi-; also insinuating that the local pests and/or locals may have different reasons/motives for their usually taken for granted actions)[go figure, the wastelands are merciless]. why do you leave? where is the problem, in the vault, from the outside? are there visitors, are there those who left? is it closed, with what historical reasons. Vault society quirks are also needed because over 200 years of an isolated society usually creates kinks and hiccups that aren't always related to the people or the vault's 'purpose' (scoot had 'ideas'), in my mind, kkat's vault 2 and original 101 was very lucky. Maybe contact was made, unknown dangers scratch against the giant gear wall, or possibly, a vault induced schem, remember, it's not always the overmare/lord that can go totalitarian/batty/high on the aphrodisiac of power... IF there is an over-something(s?)... hey, this is a pretty good temple for a first vault chapter, and i haven't had my coffee yet! maybe the admin will decide to put this post up somewhere where everyone can look at, critique, or harrass me because it's been done by a dozen other better people.... *hint hint*, *wound't mind* (any publicity and comment would be good and healthy bit to my soul to write, =D) hope this helps! :pipshrug: :D

thanks I have a lot of ideas in mind most require some rewriting of the draft i put up yesterday. I do have a planned goal set in mind and a plot outlined I just need to figure out how to put it out properly.
