Fallout: Ask a Displaced Journal (Cancelled)

by MajorKO

Waking up after an accident, Richard realizes that he's not in his world. Instead, he's in the fallout universe, half a year before the nukes fall and create the wasteland we all know. Equipped with only his knowledge, the items on him, and the help of the unknown reviewers, he sets out to survive the nuclear apocalypse and possibly rewrite history! (Ask fanfiction, like tumblr!)

Entry: Prolouge

March 6, 2077

Hello everyone, I guess this is my first… um entry I guess? Yes, my first entry! So, apparently I'm in some sort of alternate world. Last thing I remember before arriving here was hitting the brakes after some asshole nearly slammed into my side at an intersection. Maybe I got in an accident and died…

Moving on from that! So I just woke up an hour or so ago just outside some big city, which I'm guessing is Seattle due to the fact that I can see the Space Needle. Also, judging from the fact that EVERYTHING is in a 1950's style, the large amount of anti-chinese and war effort propaganda flying around, and the fact that I'm typing on a Pipboy 3300, I'm guessing that I'm in the fallout universe. Hell, I'm positive that I saw a couple of vertibirds fly out into the harbor!

After a few minutes of panicking like a headless monkey that I was going to be killed in an atomic blast, I finally calmed down enough to notice the odd pipboy that was right next to my feet. When I checked it, I saw that my pipboy showed the date and realized that I still have more than half a year until the nukes come raining down.

So, now I'm sitting at a small cafe inside Seattle, typing to you guys on the pipboy. I did a quick inventory check and I have three changes of 1950's style clothes (thank goodness I still have my jacket, even if it brought some odd glances), the pipboy, a wallet containing $250 dollars and my identification papers that mark me down as Richard Arc Mason, and a switchblade, all of which are in a grey backpack except for the pipboy.

So, now that I've said all of that and outlined everything, I still don't know what to do. Apparently this pipboy can receive messages from askers like a tumblr blog, so if you have any advice or recommendations or whatever, please help me and send it! Or you could all be imaginary and this is some sort of very large prank… heh.

Author's notes

Alright, so that's the start of this ask fanfiction. How it will work is to send an ask/advice/message/whatever, than just leave a review, that simple! I will however ignore any reviews from chapters that I'm already ahead of by a couple. For example, if I'm writing chapter five, then I'm going to be looking at reviews for chapters 4, 3, and maybe 2, while ones from 1 will be ignored. That being said, I will likely check back at those reviews every now and then just to see what was mentioned and MAYBE use an idea if it's mind-blowing. Also, I'll only be talking about the reviews themselves once every few chapters so I'm not completely restricted.

So I'm going to be posting the next chapter once a few reviews are in. Hopefully this will work, but keep in mind if there aren't enough reviews then I'm probably going to cancel the fanfiction or change it somehow, maybe make it so that the review thing is optional or happens left often. Either way, I'd like to thank 'PsyckoSama' for inspiring me to write this and giving me the idea for the self insert in the first place, as well as some of the in-story ideas shown both now and in future chapters (Not gonna make mutated pets, sorry Sama :D). Make sure to check out his story: 'Maybe You'll Think of Me: A journal of the Post-Apocalypse.'. It's pretty much the same type of story, except a lot better and already almost sixty chapters in. Well, that's all for now!

Stay determined folks!
