The Reservist: Future Equestrian Warfare [FANFIC]

[SidewinderX 86]

It's been eight hundred years since the return of Nightmare Moon and the rise of the Elements of Harmony, and Equestria is under siege. Several years ago, the Griffonian armies landed in Equestria, surprising the defenders and pushing them back. Despite what was supposed to be a quick counteroffensive by the Equestrians, the conflict has settled into a near-stalemate, with both sides taking heavy losses as the Griffons slowly but steadily push toward Canterlot. Equestrian troop numbers are dwindling, and to replace their losses, the Princesses are throwing everything they have into the fray, scraping the bottom of the barrel. Among the bottom-feeders sent to the frontline is Operani Linux, a batpony and IT technician with the Equestrian Army Reserves. Despite having no combat experience, Linux and her comrades must adapt quickly if they hope to survive the meat grinder of war.

 

Rated T for violence, death, dark themes, etc., etc.

hiii! i went ahead and read your story uwu i really liked it! you do a really good job with voice driven worldbuilding. linux has a distinct tone that does a lot to reveal the state of the world in a way that seems natural. i do have a few critiques if you're interested, and i can send them to you privately or here in this thread. up to you, but overall it has a really good, cohesive start!

Thank you for reading it!

I don't care if you critique here or in PMs—you can do it either way.

New chapter has arrived! Well, technically two, but the first is less than 100 words and I'm not counting it.

 

Update speed will be reduced to once every two weeks for my sanity.
