I don't like writing fan-fics. I like writing stories. It just turns out that doing the former ends up having me do the latter. And sometimes it makes it more fun in the process.

War. War never changes, no matter what side you're on. In a place where the only things that are black and white are the stripes on your coat, our heroes must survive the Savanna and reveal the dark story of their Empire's past, all while a new horror is developing around them.

Ok... I'll read it anyways.

Welcome to the FoE sidefic herd :twilightsmile:

There's a regular gathering of writers working on similar fics over at the compilation document. Drop by the chat if you can :pinkiehappy:

@Distrance: Well it doesn't! And this story is mainly based on how it didn't change, even switching sides. And it's practically a requirement of these side stories, so quit whining.:raritycry:

@Starlight_Tinker: I saw that compilation post, some very helpful tips in there. I'm not sure I'm completely sure I want to throw in that big ol' hunk of text with all those links. Also there was a bit of a :derpyderp1: with the title, since it was originally going to be called "Stars and Stripes," but some other guy made a fic called that and published it when I was halfway through writing chapter 1. I'll talk with my co-writer about it. Thank you for the invite though!

Thanks for changing the title, dude. You get a like and a fave!:moustache:

FYI cadeyyz, my writing partner refers to you as "a$$hat," and I had to do a lot of convincing to stop him from reporting you, but as long as you've never heard of accursed farms forums, theres nothing we can say to prove you stole our title. And if you read the thing I'm sure you'll see why we wanted it.:ajbemused:

Well, I'm sorry, but changing my title wouldn't work. my story was already in EQD submission, therefore changing it would've ruined my chances of getting in. If you had spoken up a little earlier, I would've changed it, but it's too late. However, I can hook you up w/a decent cover artist at a 20% discount price...

Dude, if I can make it up to you in any way, I will.

Well, within reason, anyways...:unsuresweetie:

I know, I know. If you gave us your title now, it would just confuse your readers, and people would come to mine thinking it was yours, which would just be bad. You've also already got paid commission work with it. I understand it's not your fault, it's just a really crazy coincidence that made my life a little bit harder. And like I said, you didn't know.

I'll think about that cover artist. I've got a few people on the line, but I want them to at least read it first, especially the character introduced in chapter two who's going to be a pain to draw.

You have Hobbs as your avatar pic. Instant fav from me.
That, and the story is good.

pretty good a viewpoint from a zebra thats different :twilightsmile:

712877This guy's already read your story. He's called Mark Garg Von Herb, or obelisk789. He did my cover art.:coolphoto:

Very good start I am really looking forward to seeing more from this:twilightsmile:

Author's note: We are currently looking for someone to make us a cover. The reason we haven't gotten one yet is because we weren't sure whether anyone could/would draw the character introduced at the end of Chapter 2. If you think you can or know someone who can, please tell me.

791969A guy named Mark Garb Von Herb. If you mention me, hell give you 20% off.:ajsleepy:

I can also make you some theme music...

You sure he can pull it off? All I've seen him do so far is normal ponies, nothing with that much complexity. But I suppose for those prices... I guess I'll give him a try.

I'll pass on the theme music though, at least for now.

Nice! I'll tell 'im about it. PM him with what you want.

Yes, we are still updating! And I made my own cover (apologies to Von Herb, things came up that denied me from using your services).

Damn, why is this fic not more highly liked?..... It's amazing... And sad right off the bat.
