The success of Fo:E baffles me so much, in such a good way. It's a crossover fanfic, which is already a handicap, of two things that don't really seem to go together. It's over 620K words. 90% of the characters are OCs, including all the main characters. It's written in first person. It's explicit and adult but has no smut. If it was written now, I doubt people would read it. And yet it's overwhelmingly popular to the point that this fanfic has a fandom of its own, majorly separate from both of the original fandoms. I know people who aren't into MLP and love Fo:E. I know people who aren't into Fallout and love Fo:E. people love that fic. it has its own wikipedia page. there are several majorly popular fanfics of that fanfic. It has defied all odds and all logic in what becomes popular in fandom spaces and im so insane about it. fallout equestria gives me hope.
