Show rules for this event
I have been informed that this is a crossover with Pom Gets WiFi. But even without knowing anything about that game, this is fairly amusing, in a goofy strange way. And it has a good message at the end, so that's nice.
I... am legitimately kinda unsure what to say about this one.
I think this falls into the category of I'm not really sure I like the comedy style? At some level I would almost rather have this as a real story rather than a very quippy, quick comedy. I also have no context for the crossover/inspiration here, which makes this extra hard to judge, since I don't know what is banking on the Pom, what is original, and such.
Yeah. I dunno. Sorry author, but I'm a bit stumped on expressing myself with this one.

Someone has done his homework by watching DWK's Totaly Legit Recap, am I right? It feels like him, only with a PG rating. I would have called Majin if it weren't the case.
Also, I've never heard of the source >>The_Letter_J mentionned, but it didn't prevent the story from being funny, and optimistic. So it's a big yes for me. (Never thought I would see the day where I would actually enjoy a story with Anon both in the title and inside the story)

Good game. I appreciate that the reference is overt, too. The game's probably obscure enough that you could have tried to change terms and sneak it under the radar. Props for not doing that!
The story, though... well, it's the bare bones of the game plot, with the humor and tones removed and replaced with "Anon." I feel like that's a losing trade compared to just doing something with Pom, and I can't reward many originality points for just rehashing the game's plot.
Thanks for writing, though! Good effort, come back and try something more challenging!

This was a fun read, but I don't get it. Seriously, it's way over my noggin.
I don't know the source material for parody and I don't get the reference(s). I'm not sure why Celestia had to be killed rather than dethroned, as this takes green-skinned racist question-mark-face mascot even further away from a coherent brony character.
It might help if the protagonist was portrayed even more dependent on Wi-Fi prior to the meteor. Since nothing was being updated anymore, why would access to WiFi even matter here? I think there could be a statement to be made here on how people's focus on the community blinds them to the importance and goodness of the show itself (you almost make that statement for a while, and it could have been awesome), but I don't get the feeling that there's a serious message intended given how goofy it turns midway through the story.
I suspect there are other references I'm not getting, too. I don't understand the ending: is he inspired to recreate the entire fandom? I'm not sure what the story is trying to say, or if it's just supposed to be silly.

All my favorite long fics are left on a cliffhanger, forever. This sucks.
You know what, that's just uncalled for.
