*checsk link* 22 chapters, eh? Well, I do like steampunk, and I would be interested in seeing how you used Charger. I'll put it on my list.
And there's nothing really wrong with that, I just personally feel that the community aspect is a big part of being a brony. Maybe I'll show her Equestria Girls then, and perhaps explain a few fandom memes like Derpy and human-obssessed Lyra.
I think it was simply that Charger was a character made by Thanqol who Maxtronaut then got permission to write into his story. The two characters have their own timelines/storylines etc. I don't know much more than that since I haven't read the fanfic yet.
I think my favourite part was when Fluttershy...
Spoiler...got scolded by the character that she was writing. That was amazing.
Hmm, perhaps that's Ponythread's next task: name that Ponymonthid!
Hmm. Got any hobbies?
