    Black Feather Project Update

    The last month has been pretty crazy. My dog got a massive bladder infection and I had to spend $2000 on vet bills to get an ultrasound and all the nonsense that goes with that, all to get a prescription for $30 worth of medicine to fix the situation. Been kinda busy with that as well as upcoming holiday planning, etc.

    One more rewritten chapter

    Hey everyone.

    Well, that last chapter took 3 weeks of hard work, mostly design, but nobody has commented on it so I can't tell how anyone feels about the story so far. I'm hoping people can share their thoughts because it helps me to know how the story is being received.

    More new characters

    I've recently finished a scene where Dinky gets to know one of the platoon members. I find Dinky's POV to be fascinating to write, though all the Dinky POV scenes will be brand new content (for you old fans out there) because Dinky wasn't previously written into this part of the story. She's a fun character to see the world through. Innocent and naïve, happily venturing into things that

    Sergeant A.Pone

    Alright, it's time for a shift of tone.

    I had a pretty long chat with Duvet yesterday, and we decided that chapter eleven really does need a thorough rework from the 2018 version. This is the last of what I'd call my "weak writing". Chapters 12-21 are pretty much perfect, so if I can fix 11, this is going to mean great things for the story.

Friday Update #1 2018-04-20 · 1:45pm Apr 20th, 2018

Hey, everybody.

Going to try and give weekly updates every Friday on what's going on, even if it's not much of anything.

This has been an exciting week, getting rolling with the migration and making sure everything was linked properly and set up in the Black Feather forum.

BDK (my artist) has been working on a concept painting for Flitter in her natural (changeling) state. This should be interesting. There will be a few different versions since we're mostly experimenting on a look for the changelings. You can see two of these concept paintings here in the forum.

The Friends and Nightmares rewrite is coming along great! I've finished the worst and hardest part. Everything from the start of the chapter all the way to where Nyx wakes up for breakfast has been rewritten from the ground up. And it's fantastic! The rest of the chapter should go relatively quickly. Lots of superfluous exposition has been cut, and a lot of very nice detail has been added. This chapter has been a bane for me ever since I first published Nightmare Nyx. It feels really good to flush the junk away and make it an actual decent chapter. :twilightsmile:

We finally decided on a cutie mark for Rumble!! :pinkiehappy:
It's about time, too. That only took three and a half years. We've been pondering what kind of explosive or kinetic cutie mark to give him that symbolizes his expertise in explosives and weaponry/technology. But really... it makes more sense that he'd have something non-war related since he would have got his cutie mark prior to the war itself. Something like... cooking.
