Suppose its high time I make use of this space for some things.
First I'd like to start by sharing this absolutely amazing pic of one of my character's from my fic; Fallout Equestria X Wild Arms: Trigger to Tomorrow.
Ladies and gentlemen I present Arcaidia Del Chevail Del Luminariaso Dol Graza Venti Veruni Halastra Mi Surta...
Or just Arcaidia to her friends. Sometimes known as Ice Frosty Littleblue Von Scary Death Unicorn in certain circles.
This lovely work was done by SpyroConspirator, a very talented artist whose gallery I highly recommend you check out. The pic itself was commissioned by the exceptionally kind and awesome doomande, an overall cool person whose been very nice to give me helpful reviews of Trigger to Tomorrow's chapters. Thanks again doomande!
The fic itself has gotten a lot further than I figured it would when I first got the whacky notion in my head to take an already incredible fusion/crossover fic, one of the best I'd ever had the pleasure to read, and cross in yet another universe based off one of my favorite JRPG series. I'm incorporating elements from all of the Wild Arms games, each of which, while sharing similar elements, have widely different storylines. Mixing and matching those story elements and then trying to fuse them in a smooth, natural, and believable manner into the already complex world of Fallout Equestria is proving to be a real challenge and a lot of fun.
I'm curious how many of those who've been reading Trigger to Tomorrow have played any of the Wild Arms games? Unfortunately YouTube doesn't have much in the way of informative videos I could use to give people an idea of what the series is all about. Its a series that has a lot of wild west and post apocalyptic themes to it and is rather reminiscent of what I imagined would happen if you tried to make an anime style RPG out of Fallout. If you're curious at what kind of stuff I'm drawing inspiration from take a look at this review of Wild Arms 2, gives you kind of a notion of the source material I'm drawing from.
Now let's see...what else to talk about in this?
Well I suppose in case anyone from the Lunaverse decides to drop in I'll just say I'm hard at work on getting Hero of Oaton, chapter 6. Don't have an exact ETA for it but should be fairly early in December.
Arcaidia Del what fish? I know my ponies and that is Ice Frosty Littleblue Von Scary Death Unicorn
And you are all to kind with those words, I am not doing anything special. All that I do is trying to is give a little back to the writers that write my favourite stories.
I have always had that opinion that when others use hours upon hours to make something I like, the least I can do is giving a few words back. That you made a interesting little space filly that use my favourite kind of magic and I had to get a picture of her is just a minor detail
She looks purdeh.
