1200 followers, a return to form, and something new on the horizon... · 5:27am Nov 6th, 2016
1200 of you.
That's a lot.
Let me begin by saying I'm sorry. First and foremost for being the way I was - a melodramatic, temperamental, shitty asshole. I can't promise that I've changed, but I'm making an effort to. Less self-deprecation, more confidence.
So much confidence, in fact, that I'm beginning a new project. While I stand by my decision to put no major effort into finishing the stories I've currently got going, I feel confident in my ability to at least put a good effort into this new story, and with that might come some inspiration to work on any one of the others I've yet to complete. No promises.
For those of you wondering just what this new project entails, well... I'll be blunt in saying:
I'm throwing my hat into the Fallout: Equestria ring.
Chapter 1 of Fallout: Saddle Arabia is nearly completed, and ready for editing. As it stands, I don't feel comfortable stepping into the ring with greats such as KKat and Somber (not to mention the myriad of others who have contributed so wonderfully) without some help in my corner. There are several things I'm looking for from anyone willing to assist, and they are:
-Cover art. I'm willing to pay a commission, but anybody willing to draw one for free would be GREATLY welcome.
-Editors. I need folks who are knowledgeable about Fallout: Equestria and its iterate sequels, as well as other pairs of eyes that can catch grammar errors. As opposed to the past, I'm not going to press editors for time, rather, letting them work with the chapter until we all feel confident in publishing.
-Pre-readers. This will be a list of folks we send the chapter to who have the chance to read what's going on and give the editing team their honest opinions, without really having much say in the way the story goes, or having to fix my numerous grammatical errors.
All-in-all, I'd like a team of at least two (but no more than five) other folks editing, with anywhere from five to twenty pre-readers to give advice and impressions. If you're interested in working together with me on Fallout: Saddle Arabia, then please send me a PM, and I'll be happy to find a place for you on the team. You will, obviously, be credited for your work in the author's notes at the end of each chapter, as well as an eternally thankful me.
Long story short:
I'm back, and looking to change my attitude.
New story in the works, and I need bodies to help.
I love you all, and I'm so thankful for everything I have on this site - even if I haven't acted like it before now.
Gratefully,
-Loyal
Great to have you back, Loyal! I'm eagerly looking forward to this new project of yours.
Unrelated, just recently I finally got around to reading Archmage and I'm seriously kicking myself in the ass for having not done so sooner.
Well, I'm always up to help, Loyal! Be it Prereader or Editor, or just regular reader. Hit me up on skype or something if you need anything.

Do I still HAVE you on Skype? I'm not willing to scroll through the hundreds of contacts I have >.< Shoot me a message - either a PM here, or over there - and I'll put you on the list of pre-readers.
If you need someone for cover art I would be willing. You don't need to pay me for the work but any publicity you could send my way from it would be appreciated. Last time I did cover art was a year ago for a book I still haven't published . However you can see the art here mind you that was a year ago, so my art style has improved I'm just not that active on deviant art . If you like what you see let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Yaass
There must have been a glitch in the matrix or something because I am getting some serious déjà vu.
Kinda like I've seen this exact bullshit three or four times before.
You desire bodies you say? Check the local cemeteries if you get the chance, or hmu as I can do some pre-reading as such.
