Well that's a relief, considering that neither of them overlap what I want to do by as much as I feared. There's definitely room for this fanfiction to be unique. I hadn't thought of Friendship is Optimal as being about transpony/transhumanism, and being more of an AI story, but the theme is definitely there, I agree.

So, given that we have two stories currently, and three constitutes a genre, that means that the entire existence of a genre is now dependent on me writing this :P But no pressure, right?

Oh, and by default, anything I say can be stolen. :)

By default the only things that can't be stolen are those which are not exclusively possessed. Which means... nevermind.

Common goods and public goods, you mean?
