For the benefit of those who are interested in the story, but aren't tracking it in every possible way:

• There's a work-in-progress document called Rules of the Optimalverse which should be interesting reading if you think about writing a story in this universe, would like to pick Iceman's mind on the subjects of the story and/or don't get enough fiction with embedded comments lately :)

• And a FiMFiction group called The Optimalverse which is formally for those aspiring to write side stories to Friendship is Optimal, but I guess those interested in the story itself should go there too.
