Fallout: Equestria is one of the most ambitious projects that this forum has ever undertaken. Never before have so many come together to revile so lengthy and beloved a fanfic. Never before have so many voices been necessary to break it down and expose it for what it is: mediocrity, incarnate. But never before have we faced a fanfic such as this.

(special thanks to Admiral Steven Hackett for delivering the speech I just plagiarized)

More than a few members of this forum, who have been excluded from participation, have requested the opportunity to mock a part of Fallout: Equestria. After much debate with Shmeckie (in which I asked politely, and he called me a motherfucking pussy-ass faggot brony piece of shit, and I burned his house down in retaliation, this is why he hasn't released an episode of KUSO! in like six months, also hey Kkat, aren't obnoxious run-on parenthetical statements just the funnest thing ever?!), he agreed to open an audition for participation in Fallout: Equestria.

As long as I do all the legwork for it.

Fffffffffuck.

Anyway, so I'm sure that you have many, many questions. In fact, I know that you do. I have foreseen them. Here they are.

How do I audition?
It's easy! Just state your desire to audition in this thread.

Easy as that?
Easy as that.

But what does the audition entail?
Oh, well, that part's a little trickier. See, after you've declared your intention to participate in the mock, I will send you a PM containing your Official Project AFTER Audition Kit.

Which is?
A sample for you to mock.

A sample? Like, a chapter of Fallout: Equestria? Or another story?
The sample is unique to each individual. But no, odds are it will not be from Fallout: Equestria.

Why not?
A couple of reasons. First off, if it's a chapter that someone else has already mocked, you could look to them for inspiration and ideas, and I want your mock to be one hundred percent fresh. Second, if it's a chapter that nobody has mocked, then...shut up! I don't need to explain myself to you!

Okay, okay, geez. How do you want me to format the mock?
The most popular style seems to be "original text plain, mock text bold." However, "original text bold/red, mock text plain" seems popular too, it being the Boss's style. In any event, as long as it's legible, and I can clearly differentiate between your material and the story, I don't really care. Just don't make the text something that clashes with the forum's color scheme. If it's hard to read, I probably won't enjoy it.

And do we post them in the forums?
No. You send them to me, formatted properly, in a private message, and I judge them.

You judge them yourself? Alone? Won't your personal bias influence your perception of each mock's quality?
Nice try, TentacleGrape.

When will we hear back from you?
Whenever I get around to reading everybody's submissions. Don't worry, I promise not to drag my feet on this too much.

"Too much?"
I can hurt you, you know.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask them. The audition is open until this Monday, so that I don't get overwhelmed with submissions. And don't worry; if you don't get picked now, the audition will open up again at some point in the future, so you'll have a second chance.

This is an opportunity to work tail-twined-with-tail with a great number of people, on a collaborative effort of some significance to this forum. Don't pass this up, people!

Question: Can people who have already mocked a chapter or two still mock chapters, and if yes, do they have to go through the same process as first-timers?

Do I also have to do so, seeing as it's my first time mocking this particular fic? It isn't a big deal to audition, but I'm already about a quarter of the way done with chapter 17.

If you've already mocked part of the story, then you're already on the team and don't need to audition. Shmeckie insisted that the mock only be open to people who have an impressive body of work on PA. This is strictly for people who would otherwise be excluded from participating.

It's audition time!

I'm in the clear then.

Sounds pretty fun.

Well I did mock one chapter...but then I realized how long the whole thing was and got worried about how many chapters I would have to mock and was all, "Fuck that." But I might do another chapter, that is, if you let me...*blush*

You're already on the team, if you've done a chapter.

Okay cool. I don't know when I'll mock another chapter, but I do plan to do another one.

Send me a PM. I'd like to take a crack at this bitch.

I would like to give this a go too. If you don't mind.

Okay, so far, the members who have signed up to audition are:

-K2K
-Dr. O
-Nihilistic One
-MissSarcastic

This is the last call for auditions, people. I'll leave it open until tomorrow evening, on the offchance that there are any stragglers.

I'd like to audition, but I won't have time to work on anything for at least the next week =\

This won't be the last audition, so you can always try again next time.

Just a reminder, guys--today is the last day to submit your audition.

The auditions are officially closed. Four people expressed interest, but the only ones to actually submit an audition were O, MD. and the honorable dowager Sarcastic the 1013th. I am deeply disappointed in you two, K2K and Nihilistic One.

I shall announce the winner...presently.

Well I guess I did kind of jump the gun there with the audition and didn't even think of what I had to do this week. But mark my words I will be back next audition and make it on time.

Fuck, it was due yesterday? Godammit. Oh well, there's always next time. And I've decided that no matter how the wind blows, I'm making my own mock of FoE: Heroes, with blackjack and hookers!

Please. Leave Blackjack out of it.

Yeah, boss, that story's time will come. At any rate, I'd like to offer a heartfelt congratulations in advance, Dr. O/MissSarcastic1013/whoever wins.

The winner of the Fallout: Equestria audition is the venerable Dr. O! In PA circles, he is best known for producing mocks of Neon Exodus Evangelion and Garden of EVA: Book 0, both of which are featured on The Essentials. Fo: E is lucky to have a mocker of his caliber gracing it with his unique combination of wit, sarcasm, incredulity, and monologues about geopolitics.

Welcome to the team, Doc!

Is this thread still relevant?
