Ask Blog?
6 years ago
Lately I've been getting into the Fallout series via Fallout: New Vegas, and it's giving me an idea.
I know a number of people on Tumblr run interactive comics called "Ask Blogs". Most of the ones I've heard of are My Little Pony related, but I was wondering if it'd be a good idea to try something like this using the Fallout universe. Originally I was thinking the main character could be a pony like Dr. Traits, but I'm not sold on that idea. WHISPER, the villainous organization that most of my characters are from, is supposed to be a multidimensional organization, so I could have this Fallout fanverse connect to Dr. Trait's storyline easily enough. The problem is, four of my seven characters are ponies, so adding a fifth pony doesn't feel right. I don't have a Furry character though, and I think I can make that work instead.
The main benefit of making an ask blog would be the experience with my 3D tools; I'm still learning how things work, and this would provide some direction with what I should try to do next. On the other hand, I'm only so far into the games and I'm betting that fans are going to ask questions I can't answer yet.
Anybody have some experiences / comments about this idea?
I'm not going to move on it for another week at least, as there's a lot of other stuff on my plate. But this is an idea I'm kicking around.

Fallout Equestria (MLP in Fallout) for an ask blog is not a new concept but sadly one we need to see MORE of if you ask me. Fallout in general is a great universe worth exploring, since it's open enough to add in your own ideas while playing with already existing elements.
Even if you are only so far in the game, it's still worth getting started on the blog as you'll learn pretty fast any story line of even intro to an ask/story blog takes a lot of time and can drag out, in the creative progress. You'll have time starting out while still moving through the game. You can also use a character with a background that makes them learn about the game's universe at same or slower pace as you. Don't forget any stable dweller or isolated settler don't really know much about the world around them once they first start to explore. The askers can be the help they need to understand things they might be walking into blind.
Many ways to spin such a concept.
