You swine!
Looks promising. I will keep an eye on the updates :)
10294450
Ayy thanks. I'll be posting a chapter a week until I run out of already written stuff
Ah.~ A fellow Fallout: Equestria fanfiction author!~

This was when I knew; This is going to be glorious.

Hehe, thanks. I hope it lives up to the expectations
Wait, why didn't Candy ask how Iron got hurt? If someone you cared deeply about suddenly gained inexplicable injuries, wouldn't you immediately want to know what happened?
10376012
She did, as one would. I just didn’t bother mentioning it because I didn’t think it was necessary; like you said, it makes too much sense, so I was fine just leaving it up to the reader. In hindsight, just a few words about it probably would have been better.
Wait, how old is Iron? I don't recall it being mentioned.
10376146
It's deliberately left vague. She's a pre-teen slash young teen. In human years, she could be anywhere from 10 to 15 (though the extremes would admittedly be hard to believe)
This might be a weird critique, but I think that Iron is too... Nice? I expected (and hoped for) the 'Sadistic' perk to come into play much more than this.
First:
My wish was granted before I even uttered it. Nice.
Second:
Oh.
10376086
Definitely. The lack of mention is the problem. Mention it, and there is no problem.

10376238
Oh don’t worry, it’ll come into play soon enough hehe
I just realised I was writing comments on chapter 8, apparently. I thought it auto-replied to the correct thread. Oops.
10376302
Yeah, I try to write by that philosophy as well (I’ve even said in a blog post that if it’s not in the story it’s not canon, even if it’s in a blogpost)
It’s just that I didn’t think it was important enough
10376294
Glad you like it
I think I found Iron sonata's (future) theme song.
10377569
Oh, very nice!
I seem to be experiencing an inner conflict of interest. I want another chapter to be released as soon as possible... But I also don't want it to be rushed, and therefore of lower quality.
Please release a new chapter soon. But please take your time with it.
10383314
Chapter 9 is currently sitting at around 8600 words, and it's about halfway finished. Since I already have a good plan for the rest of the arc, I might actually release it sooner than I'd expected. We'll see
Though I'm definitely working hard on it
10376086
Hi again.
I've decided to re-read this entire story when you release the next chapter, and that reminded me: Did you ever go back to add a few words about it?
10401163
Only two. One a few weeks after I started releasing the story, I decided to remove “Level up!” from the footnotes, for a variety of reasons (partly because it felt weird to give my “just a mentally ill filly” levels—which feel more like a “future wasteland hero” type of thing, but also because I sometimes felt like she wouldn’t have earned a level in some chapters, and it felt weird to not end the chapter on anything)
Another small thing I added was the precision that Iron told Candy about how she got hurt in chapter 5
10401459
Neat. I admit that I expected dialogue, but it's still better than nothing. I eagerly await the next chapter.
This update interval is foreboding. Always less than two weeks, until now, when it has been three.
What happened? Please, this is one of my favorite Fallout: Equestria stories ever. I want to see it finished.
10410851
Well, I've been writing since December, and when I started publishing in June I already had 6 chapters. I'll admit chapter 9 took me a good while to write, but now I'm in the process of editing it.
I'm also about 60% done with chapter 10's rough draft, and I think once it's finished I'll publish 9 (since the two chapters are strongly linked)
Sorry it's taking so long; speed has never been my forte, but I'm getting better (in terms of quality _and_ quantity)
10411025
That explains it. Keep up the good work, then.
I soon as I have the time (probably tomorrow) I will re-read all of this.
Well, I didn't expect the memory twist. Interesting.
Candy! Nooo!
Wait... If Candy is dead, then who took their stuff?
And now, the wait begins again.
10437435
Just some random pony, since it's been more than a week since the stuff was dropped there.
And btw, chapter 10 is finished and just needs to go through both rounds of edits. I won't promise a time period, but it shouldn't be so long of a wait.
Damn it, I really wasn't prepared for Candy to be completely dead. I had hoped that she had survived and that they would eventually re-unite...
Damn it, they didn't even get to say goodbye.
Well, at least this allows for some iǹ͡t͞er̴͏é͝s҉̛ti͡n͟g͜͡ character development.
Wait a minute...
Oh.
Oh no.
This isn't going to end well for Cascade, is it?
10437498
The reason I killed her off like this was to make her death stand out. In reality, a person never dies predictably. It's almost always out of nowhere and you don't get to say goodbye. It's not even guaranteed that you were on good terms with the person when their life ends.
Well, technically the other possibility is that person gets ill and slowly dies, and you know it's coming, but you also know you can't do anything about it, and you just end up wishing their suffering would end soon.
I feel that a lot of stories kill off characters after they've fulfilled their narrative purpose, and that almost always makes them feel artificial. Which is why I thought that a real kick in the gut would be to execute it this way.
Damn, I shoulda put that in the author's notes.
Bloody mess...

RUN CASCADE RUN!!!
The synopsis confuses me. Shouldn't all of the main characters in a story called Fallout: Equestria — Mercenary Tale be, you know, mercenaries?
10442198
I consider Iron Sonata to be the primary protagonist, while everybody else is just a support character in her story. Ponies important enough to be mentioned in the synopsis of her tale
You know, Iron, I and many wastelanders completely agree that torture is an acceptable punishment for wicked deeds.
Of course, you deserve many lashes yourself for murdering those innocent ponies, among other things.
(Wow, she's really slipping without Candy.)
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
That's just... Following the Fallout Equestria lore, though. MLP Canon has no power here!

Iron: “But I needed that gun!
Fun fact: Some of Iron’s decisions are inspired by a TTW playthrough where I play as her. Her deciding to kill a random pony for his/her gun is entirely based off TTW-Iron blowing up Megaton, then seeing Tenpenny, all alone on his balcony, and deciding “I want that sniper rifle”
wow............ you got rid of him, quite fast........................
10452390
Yeah, he was never meant to be a fleshed-out character. I almost wish I had a reason to flesh him out more, but at the same time, Iron wouldn't care, so why would the reader?
Is this still alive ???
10523441
Yeah. Progress is slow because I'm having a rough semester at uni, but I do try to get some work done every week. Sorry it's taking forever
10523460
Thanks, love the story so far by the way.
10523497
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words
Yay
Love it!
So many warning signs... Banter has the right idea.
Now, what could this be?
Oh, and don't think that I didn't notice that none of this chapter was from Iron's perspective! You're hiding something... Something critical to the plot.
The next chapter will be quite interesting, indeed.
