Fanfiction Thread

More than a year ago, I read Mortal, a My Little Pony fanfiction with transhumanist themes, and liked it. I recently found out about a short sequel, Mother of Nations, which I also read and enjoyed. If you read Mortal and enjoyed it, you will probably like Mother of Nations.

Mortal has been discussed on LessWrong before, here.

Thanks! If you like my rationality-themed stories, you might also be interested in Happily Ever After and The Thousand Year Romance Of Clover The Clever.

I read Happily Ever After roughly around the time I read Mortal, and I read Clover the Clever just after reading Mother of Nations.

They were all good :)

I recommended Mother of Nations in particular because I realised that there may be people who are in the position I was in, of having read and liked Mortal but not being aware of there being an extra story.

With This Ring
An SI fanfic set in the DC universe. Main character is a transhumanist and tries to improve the world using his previous knowledge of the world, research, noticing things others have overlooked, and intelligent application of his powers. It's well written. Even though the main character is very powerfull, he doesn't come off as a Gary Stu.

Things to note.
Sometimes the words are different colors. These correspond to the different emotional states states of the characters.

Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum

Also any parts of the story where the title is red or there's a red star, is part of the 'Renegade Option' side story.
