It's done! It might have taken the better part of a year and involved more writer's block and procrastination than I care to guess at, and a worrying amount of it might have been written in the last week alone, but it's out at last. Treasures, now inflicted on all respectable horseword-bearing websites in your local area.
Or the first chapter, at least. There's six in total, and the plan's to release one a day for the rest of the week. Dumping what turned out to be nearly fifty-thousand words on folk all at once seemed unwise. If you're interested in a young Daring Do, origin stories, adventures, hoof-fights, inappropriate uses of the phrase 'tabula rasa', the adventurer-archaeologists of Equestria, the ruins of Antlertis and what went on there, and/or allusions to unsuspecting real-world adventure literature undeservedly mangled with horse-based puns, then it might be your sort of thing.
A huge amount of credit goes to themaskedferret, without whose editing, encouraging, and prodding this would have probably just stayed an unhappy half-finished google doc until the heat death of the universe. I've thanked her before, and I'll do it again just now. Thank you a whole bunch, Ferret. 
I owe you a whole bunch.
She also encouraged me to get the cover art commissioned for it, and Ruirik was kind enough to supply it. Do check out his affa grand gallery.
All that said, do give it a gander if you're so inclined, and any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Woo-hoo!
There's no way I can not read this.

Excited exclamations are good exclamations!

Excellent. My long-distance mind control continues to work wonders in my favour.
