Hello all! One thing I'd really appreciate some input on as I make haste to do what I can on getting Chapter 33 finished so I can hopefully post it when I return from vacation: does anyone have a limit as to how long they like a single installment of a series to be? Chapter 32 was quite a hefty read I do admit, and based on what's going to happen next, I'm anticipating that the follow up chapters will likewise be around 8,000 - 15,000 words each if I'm to give everyone sufficient time.

Rest assured you will know by the end of the weekend. Chapter 32 of Friendship Is Scaleless will be up by Sunday at the latest. I apologize for the wait but I wanted to make sure this particular chapter was as perfect as could be, which isn't an easy task when you also have travel arrangements, work and Christmas shopping to deal with as well.

Cause while the pic I posted for 'Friendship is Scaleless' did originally provide the inspiration, I've come across this which is...well...considerably more epic:

Twilight Sparkle and SEATH THE SCALELESS!!!

Chapter 28 is now up, though I can't say for certain that this means a return to the regular weekly update just yet as I still need to tweak some serious parts of Chapter 29.

After writing chapter 27 and rewriting large amounts of chapter 28, I've decided I need to revamp how I want the next few major plot points of Friendship is Scaleless to play out. Got a very large cast to deal with now between the ponies and Dark Souls crew and I want to make sure they all get their moments. At the same I've also run into that time honored problem of mine which is the more I delve into the minds of my assigned antagonists, the more they cease to be straight up

As stated I thought I'd make a blog where I can list and answer the more general queries about the series. Again if you want to add to this, leave your question in the comments and I'll update the list as things progress

In no particular order:

Q: First Twilight dies, then immediately afterwards Pinkie Pie follows suit. Are you just going to start massacring the MLP cast one by one with each subsequent installment?

So yes, as I mentioned in the notes for Chapter 21, I'll be away all of next week so 'Scaleless' will be taking a brief hiatus until I return . I'm hoping this will give me time to build up a bit of a buffer for chapters as I had before a few twists in my life severely cut down my free time. Maybe if I'm really lucky I might be able to start on one of the one shot stories still sitting in my planning folder so I have a few more works to my name here.

So recently, out of both morbid curiosity and just to see if there was anything I could use for a story aspect, I've started checking out the EG series. After a preliminary overview (i.e. a few snippets on youtube and reading the wiki articles) I was reminded of this little bit of Dark Souls fan art where someone apparently attempted to do the same thing:

Dark Souls School

As anyone who's checked my story files here will know, I've had quite the contrast of reception here so far. My first series 'Wish Weaver' has garnered only a bare minimum of attention, while 'Friendship is Scaleless' is so far rocketing up in popularity with a speed I could never have expected. I can sort of understand why since 'Wish Weaver' is a) a perhaps more cliche type set up and b) more me wanting to insert my own characters and tone to the MLP universe rather than play around with the

Since I got such a good and helpful amount of information from my readers on the last blog, I thought I'd throw another query out there to hear everyone's opinion. May make this a weekly thing if it continues to draw interest and let me know folks opinions on my work.

Posting this to let folk have some input on the upcoming 'Scaleless' chapters. It seems my depiction of the Chosen Undead as a woman of somewhat questionable morals isn't sitting well with folk, and I'd like to know if that's really proving to be as much of a sore point as I fear it might.

So those who've checked 'Friendship is Scaleless' in the last few days may have noticed a few changes have been made: namely all references to 'Melanat' have now been changed to 'Verdite' and Seath's position as an island god has now been completely erased. The reason for this is I've started watching a few LPs of the King's Field games and discovered my sources for information on the series have a few errors. They list Seath as the main villain of King's Field II but what they

So....I'm told 'Friendship is Scaleless' got a spot on the featured list...and broke past the 200 marker for faves. I just....wow. I was hoping the series would be pleasing but this is way above the attention I thought it would garner.

Not that I'm complaining mind you, I'm deeply grateful that everyone deems my efforts to be so worthy, just...damn. That's amazing!
