I'm loving the vibe of this story! Keep up the good work, my brony!!

Brohoof, choom

Nice.

Also, is this 'good pony cyberpunk,' or 'really, really good pony cyberpunk?' Still deciding.

Sorry I'm not more articulate right now. Maybe when I have more free time. :twilightsmile:

My only complaint is that this story is too short, otherwise everything is amazing. The setting is bleak, interesting, and begs to be explored, Twilight's plight makes me want to see how it ends. But for what it is, it's a solid short story, keep it up!

A metamorphosis only has one direction.

What a line!!! There's a lot of great worldbuilding beneath the surface. This is the kind of multi-layered story I really enjoy returning to. It's got an engaging plot with a ton of meat beneath. Great job!

FUCKING PREEM

HOW ARE YOU ONE OF THE BEST WRITERS I'VE EVER MET WAIT I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME

CONCEPT ON POINT, PROSE IS CREME OF THE FUCKING CROP, STRUCTURE UNDEFEATABLE

When I ask her what she wished for she only says “wings” and turns her back to me to show me the corroded remains of limbs that used to make me believe in angels now eaten by oxidization and poverty and my baby smiles a smile at me that breaks my heart into—

SUCH AN INSANE FIRST SENTENCE AND YOU DO THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS SO INCREDIBLY WELL

LOVE YA POOKIE GOOD LUCK WITH THE CONTEST

Hey there, Papers!

Well, building off my private comments earlier, here's my public review!

What I like about this is how well it capitalizes on the concept introduced more in the description but is otherwise kept in the background. The story is strange and abstract, but the prose hits those good notes and creates some powerful emotions, particularly the sense of loss (and being lost). Folks are really digging the "cyberpunk" vibe, and I agree with them.

I'd say you've got a real gem here, Papers! :pinkiehappy:

This is pure cyberpunk, chummer. Excellent minimalist worldbuilding, strikes the perfect tone of high tech, low life. I know you wrote this in a rush and would love to see a longer version, but what's there is great.
