I don't do reviews often, so this will be the most extensive review I have ever given a fanfic.

I honestly don't know a thing about war hammer, but the author worked the story so that there was no prior knowledge needed to understand what is going on. True, it is a one shot, so there is not alot of depth to get lost in, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the story portrayed the nature of the war hammer universe without dumping facts or a load of backstory on the reader.

I also would like to say that this brony was something of a pioneer. I don't know much about pre-EQD fan fiction, but this seems to be the first fanfic with the idea to combine ponies with bloody ruthless war. Obviously, the two are pretty much foils, so it takes some creativity to see beauty that can exist when juxtaposing to polar opposite universes. What I think I'm failing to say is that crossing the good, peaceful nature of ponies with the cruel nature of war and greed can result in something beautiful. True, this is now FO:E, but this is before FO:E. This author illustrated a war between the ultimate good and the ultimate evil before anyone else thought it would be a good idea.

Aside from the excellent initiative for essentially creating a new genre of pony fanfiction, this author also did a good job in the way he described the desolation and the feeling of loss. Not to mention he depicted the progression of events pretty darn well. The wreck town was described well, and the fates of her friends were believable. The pacing was a little shaky, especially in the beginning. I think twilight would have recalled alot more details regarding her friends' deaths. The summaries she gave seemed rushed and incomplete.

Some authors would try to make the battle even and less of a slaughter. Others would incorrectly allow the narrator to understand more about their enemy than they realistically would. This author did neither of those things. The battle was completely one sided, as it should have been. Even magic can protect you from a space-age level invasion force. The deaths of the princesses and the utter domination delivered upon Twi's friends displayed that hopeless one-sided-ness. I also like the fact that Twi couldn't identify any familiar detail associated with the invaders. Many HiE fics underestimate the barrers that exist between polar opposite species.

Overall, the writter did a better job than half the fics published on FiMFic. I really wish I knew who you were, and if your even still around.

After almost 2 years of waiting, I think this post has earned a comment.

Its crazy to see fics posted like this, just as comments as some form, or an image that you have to click and zoom in on. These were the humble beginnings for a very productive and loud fandom. We've come so far. I will always respect those that came first, putting in the effort before they knew that their fandom would ever truly thrive.

I would like to know who this writer was. Is he still in the community? Does he have a FiM Fic account?

I doubt I will ever get an answer to these questions, but it seems like such a shame that someone could put forth effort and literally receive no feedback. I'm going to make up for this in the little way I can.

I think I know those feels man, like the emptiness you find between the walls of reality. The place that time forgot. The world outside of things that are.

I feel so lonely here, in a place that shouldn't exist.
