I don't know why I'm writing this down if nopony will ever read it, but whatever. Just wanted to say that this story is cancelled, so don't expect any more chapters soon. The statistics told me readers aren't interested in reading this, so I'll just stop here before wasting anymore time with this project.

I had some ideas for this project, like how the mane six died because of some humans who had some issues, while others were attacked by xenophobes ponies who wanted to blame the humans for it. Fluttershy would have committed suicide after Rainbow Dash's death, and then the Enclave (or what would become the Ponies Enclave) placed the corpse of a human to make it look like a murder and suicide.

On the other hand, I had prepared these bios and ideas for the main characters:

The first one is Adrian, our main character. I won't reveal the gender, so the readers can identify themselves with the main character better (like in the games, where they never mention if the main character is a man or a woman). About the backstory, I had in mind that his/her parents were from a caravan company, and one day they got attacked by slavers, who killed them and sold Adrian to a group of raiders who abused him/her, until one day he/she killed them in retaliation and escaped. The next years were spent traveling around the Wasteland as a mercenary, always working for whoever paid the most until he/she entered a Hellhound territory (Diamond Dogs turned into the equivalent of Deatchlaws) and managed to injure one of them in eye, but the wounds inflicted almost killed him/her until the habitants of Stable Vault 9 took her/him in when they opened the door in search of help, but instead discovered his/her skills as an Engineer.

The next one is Mecha, who became obsessed with going to the Wasteland after all he stories he/she told her. I'm trying to make her a character who is always impressed by everything he sees in the Wasteland, as having to live inside a bunker was like a prison for her. I'm still debating if I should give her a backstory where her parents died because a water pipe was damaged in the basement and they drowned, or just the kind of parents who know that even though the Wasteland is dangerous, she will be safe as long as Adrian is with her.

The next one would be an Enclave soldier (in this fic they're all ponies), who will encounter the main characters a few times during the story, but they never kill him because Adrian never kills soldiers, as he/she knows that they're sometimes brainwashed into fighting for what they believe is the right cause, but instead is just a bunch of lies. After a few fights and a fair duel hand to hooves, the soldier realizes that they used him/her (I'm debating whether it will be a mare or a stallion) and chooses to leave the Enclave and help them to make the Wasteland return to the peaceful land it was before. The reason to switch sides would be that the Enclave brainwash their soldiers to make them think all humans are monsters that will kill them without hesitation and that they fight for a better Equestria (the truth is that the Enclave leaders only want control of everything, and for that they want to erradicate humans to make themselves look like heroes).

Another one would be an albino Hellhound; or to be more precise, the one who attacked Adrian. This Hellhound is bound to serve as Adrian's companion, as their code of honor makes them serve under anyone who managed to survive an encounter against them (Something very rare, giving they can practically kill you in one hit). He travels with the group to show that not all Hellhounds are dangerous, and to show that all species can forge bonds. He would use a cloak to hide his appearance in any city to avoid mass histeria, and take it out when fighting (yes, this character is based on Goris, from Fallout 2).

Of course, there would be a Brotherhoof of Steel soldier (I call them like this because this group would be the descendant of the Bronies, but as years passed and the Enclave appeared, they became xenophobes and paranoid, allowing only humans to their group). I'm planning to use an equivalent of Veronica Santangelo (New Vegas), who wants to help the citizens of the Wasteland instead of stealing all the pre-war technology and information, killing anyone who posseses any of these things. At first she just travels with the group, but in one chapter she will reveal the truth and invite them to the Brotherhoof of Steel because they have proved to be worthy of joning their ranks; after discusing with the elders she will start the renegades group, who want to use the technology and knowledge to return the Harmony to the Wasteland and honor the original concept of the Bronies.

Discord would be included, too. My idea is that after Fluttershy's death, he couldn't do Chaos anymore, and allowed himself to be captured by Chrysalis so he could spend all eternity with her (his powers only allow him to make Chaos, and resurrecting the dead is beyond his capacity). After being rescued, they convince him to continue living and help them regain peace to the Wasteland, as Fluttershy would have wanted it.

Cadence wouldn't joing the group permanently. She would be captured by Chrysalis, along with Shining Armor to torture them after the Wedding in Canterlot. Unfortuntaly, victims trapped in the coocoons for too long will die from old age, so Shining Armor dies when he's released, but at least he manages to have a last word with his bride. She then asks the group to get her back to the Crystal Empire, and she will help them in the war agains the Enclave, around the end of the story.

The last one would be Spike. I still don't know what to do with him; maybe place him in the old Canterlot Castle in the middle of the everfree forest to guard the elements of hamony, or in the dragon lands. Either way, I still debate  if they should find him by pure luck after finding out where the elements are hidden, or they're sent to meet him by DJ Pon3, as she's the descendant of one of the Mane Six (Rainbow Dash, to be more especific).

That's all I have to say. If you're interested in a better fic, I'm currently working on a OC x Rainbow Dash romance fic (no clop), so if you want to check it, just click here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/73406/rainbow-in-the-dark. You will recognize a familiar character from this fic, since I was very fond of what I had created and didn't want to waste a good OC with an unpopular fic.

I'll leave this fanfic published as a reminder that sometimes, good writing doesn't matter as long as people don't like what you're writing about. Goodbye, and thanks for everything.
