Why do I have the distinct feeling that I've entered some sort of war?
This, this is just a small skirmish. You want a REAL full blown war, mention Fallout Equestria Project Horizons
The Zaroff: I wouldn't call it a war, really. Pannic mostly dislikes FoE, I like the setting but take issues with the presentation and many of the characters, and Seraphem evidently loves almost everything about it. [[Understatement We bounce off each other occasionally]]. :3
Seraphem: I've flipped through your liveblog once or twice, meaning to read it in detail, but the reverent and occasionally gushing tone puts me off. I commend you for putting in so much time and effort, though, and you're quite welcome to your opinion.
Oh God dammit, I wrote that first post on my alt (facepalm). Well, that's confusing as fuck. To clarify, I'm "The Zaroff". I stopped using that account a while ago, but the damn login page keeps auto-filling me into it and I sometimes just don't realize I'm not using the right one. A-hem... Anyhow. That's all!
If it's the built-in autofill, most browsers let one get rid of unwanted entries with the delete key.
Also, Snipe pretty much summed up how I feel about the liveblog.

Simply amazing, and worth all the praise.
There is far far to little space here to fully sum up why I feel this way. For more detail, read my liveblog/review here
But, in short, if I had to give a brief reason why it is so great and I love it so much, have a copy paste from some of my final thoughts and summation on it.
What more can I say about Fallout Equestria that I haven't already? It is amazing, incredible, heartwarming, heartwrenching, sad, joyful. It can take you to the very brink of despair, without ever losing that last spark of hope that just maybe things will get better. All and all it is a truly epic story, in every meaning of the word. It is more then worth all the praise, all the accolades, all the love.
Is it perfect? Of course not, and I pointed out quite a few places where things could have been done better. But, no work is utterly perfect. Is it for everyone? Again, of course not, nothing is. Clearly I am far far from alone in loving this story though. Nearly every aspect of it was done almost perfectly, some flaws, some mistakes, but they are small, tiny compared to the overall majesty and grandness of the story.
And the characters, while they are one of the biggest points of contention, I found them all to be extremely relateable, likable, well rounded and just all around a thrill to read about. The only one I had some issues with and didn't like was Velvet Remedy at first, but once she got some development, she was right up there with the rest.
All in all, I would highly HIGHLY recommend that everyone give this story a chance. Will it be for everyone? Of course not, but it is well worth the time to try. Give it a few chapters, if it isn't for you, then leave it. If you find yourself enjoying it, then stick around for one of the greatest, most emotional, and grandest stories I've ever read.
