Thank you! I'm at work as I write this but I hope to have most of act 1 put out by monday.
ETA on Act 2 is still iffy, though. It ain't done yet. ^^"
This is such an amazing fic! I've been captavated with every chapter! I do have something I'm confused about, though.
Alicorns are said to have the magic of all three tribes, but as far as I can tell, Gustopha only has unicorn and pegasus magic. Will that be an issue later, or did Doctor Thanamus find a way around that? Or do alicorns just work differently in this universe?
It's fine if this is spoiler territory though! Thanks for writing such an amazing fic! <3

1) I'm glad you like it! I usually write much lighter fics so I'm glad this one's really grabbed people.
2) There's no physical element of an earth pony at play, but she does have earth pony magic. Her aptitude for studying farming had to come from somewhere. ;)
Well, you've got me hooked with this story.
I look forward to the next chapter!
Brilliant story! Currently reading this at about 3 in the morning my time, and I just couldn't stop. Wasn't sure about the name Gustopha at first, but it's grown on me.
I do hope the Doctor gets some manner of comeuppance later on, and I'm eager to see the next chapter! Keep up the great work!

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! You're in for a good ride, because Act II alone is roughly 50,000 words. I'll be posting it over the next few weeks. ^^

Also glad I've managed to make this story engaging! As said above, there'll be plenty to sink your teeth into eventually.
As for the doctor, I've plans for him. I won't spoil anything juicy, but Gustopha isn't rid of him yet.
Added a hand-drawn cover image.
My ineptitude at image creation is more pronounced than my ineptitude at writing, so hopefully it's alright.
A new chapter? The day after I read the whole thing? Welp, time to go read it again! Thank you!
I'm glad the situation with Celestia has been resolved, and having the scenes where Gustopha interacts with non-royal, non-psychopath ponies were a treat.
Keep up the good work!

I generally pre-write my stories and then edit/post them over a period of time (or all at once if they're shorter pieces), however The False Goddess is so long (act II alone is nearly as long as the first arc of Cauldron Valley put together) that I've opted to release acts as I finish writing them instead. Hopefully I'll be able to stretch act II enough that there isn't a huge wait for act III. ^^"
I rather hope this doesn't go the direction I fear it might.
Wel done!

It's okay. People in power have never, EVER repeated horrible actions throughout history, after all.
(I'll be honest, I expected a stronger reaction to Gustopha just making a new pony race.)

The fear is they won't stay a pony race. And what Gustopha did is somewhat akin to kitbashing ships, so that makes a degree of sense. The whole thing smacks of someone wanting to complete her task (clearing the blight) as quickly and safely as possible, so she turns to the grafting. Time will tell if that goes as well as she hopes, or in the direction I fear. Feels like this could be the origin of Timberwolves.
Side note, approximately how old is Gustopha? I'm guessing either early teens, or just before.
11733296
As of her ascension, Gustopha was around 10 years old. Her accelerated aging has affected this in some ways, but she's still a child at heart trying to figure shit out while also being a princess.
Nicely done! I've always been a fan of the "Playing with power you can't control" trope, and it's performed well here. I do wish we'd gotten a name for the personification of the Blight, but that'll probably happen later. It's stats as a fundamental opposite/rival to Gustopha is well deserved. Glad there's an antagonist with teeth here.
Keep it up!

The blight's "antagonist" being nameless is intentional, given that it's a force of nature more than a pony.
In layman's terms, "Nyet, comrade, blight is blight."
Dr. Thanamus was the monster.

He certainly does put off that sort of vibe, doesn't he?
Things are taking a very interesting turn recently.
I look forward to seeing what the diplomacy will bring.

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Admittedly, I'm a bit evil with the cliffhanger on this one; this marks the end of Act II, so I'll be radio silent until I get Act III done. Stay tuned!
