Milestones and Open-Talk · 5:12am Dec 7th, 2014
Well, after taking a small break from studying, I've done a bit of writing for ADJ. No, I don't mean I've started on the next chapter; instead, I've finally reached a critical milestone in the planning process for all future chapters. I have, as of now, planned out the next...
100 chapters.
In full.
With OCs introduced, character development, clop, story arcs and the like.
All spread over a measly 9 arcs, which, if you'll notice, adds up to an average of 11-ish chapters per arc. Now, some arcs will be shorter than that average, but others longer. All chapters will more or less have a minimum word count of 6K, so, that adds up to another...
600K words at a minimum. Holy shit, this story could hit over a million words!
Anyway, still have a few more chapters to go until everything is planned out, and by a few, I mean around... 40 more, spread across four more arcs.
Add the 40X6K and add that to 600K words.... carry the 4...
840K more words to go.
Oh my God, it will.
Now, if that tickles your fancy, you may be happy to know I'll be taking more questions on the story. Don't worry, I'll answer every question I can without giving away the story too much. Also, yes, I will tell you at least in which arc of the story your OC you submitted will appear, for example. So don't be shy: ask away! I will answer all questions in my next blog.
Are OC submissions still open?
2638004 Yes.
shouldn't "I have, as of now, planned out..." have been "I have, as of now, planned out the next..."
Cool. Is there there any special forces units in your universe? If not, I'll change them into mercenaries or rouges
2638037 Yes...

2638042 Rogues, not rouges, and no, there are no special forces. I have had several blog posts for the OC submissions detailing the aspects of the submission process.
Here's a link.
2638055 How far is weapon technology? Swords and knives are not a problem, but what about projectile weapons (crossbows, canons, etc)? What about armor and clothing?
Alright, I'll bite. When are my OCs appearing? Should i try to make more if needed? Will another letter to equestria be soon (as in how many chapters)? Finally, Why do deaf people like Calculus so much? because its mostly sine language :D :P
Alright, Abramus5250, since you were like;

Are you too chicken-shit to snuff one of your OC's? Or, anyone that has a long term relevance to the story for that matter? Yeah, I've already asked this several times, but It seems this memo isn't crossing over to me.
Good God, man. Once you started, you definitely couldn't stop, could ya?? No matter, as long as it takes for it to be published, I will (hopefully--knock on wood) see it to the end. Maybe you could get it made into a book once it is finally completed. I am pretty sure that I would buy one---nothing better than an actual hard copy to have in your hands and hold on to.
Finally got to reading this story in 4 days with only stopping to eat, restroom, and sleep. I love the story I really due, and it was worth the wait for me. When I got to the part when the mares were talking about what the kids will look or act like, something in my mind clicked and I may have inflated my ego a bit but...the possible story impact of my wolf-dragons being in this hit me. While I have no clue on you are writing them I still wait with baited breath. Hope to see what the next chapter holds. Have a great day.
I expected this seeing as they aren't even halfway, and and they have a ton of major places to go to. Looks like it will be like. But it also means that they will take forever to get to the dragon lands... And wtf was Luna thinking when she planned out the world trip?? Why would she send him to the least dangerous places first, when he has no wives, then the most dangerous places last, when he Does have wives, and those wives happen to have foals on the way! Is Luna trying to get spikes family killed before he even returns??? Wonder if anyone else noticed that....
So who are the lucky OCs?
In what country would my OC appear ?
1 million words. Wow.
I have to wonder of that, how much is teen/non sexual enough that you could use it in your resume.
In all seriousness, freakin awesome. I hope upon hope your muse sticks it out. Nothing worse than a great story left unfinished (like so many on this site).
Umm Abramus. Your story will be longer than the 3rd longest novel in the world if my calculations are correct. Roughly. Currently It calculates to 1 128 981 words and the 3rd longest book is 1 100 000 words. Quite a feat, eh friend?
Congrats. That's a rough estimate as I don't know the exact length of the remaining chapters. You said an estimate of 6k per chapter? That makes my calculations about right. Hope your in for a ride. You have my good wishes.
2643240 Well, that's the low estimate. My last few chapters have usually been 7K or more, so... yeah, I was underestimating, just in case.
2643267 Great not I have to do more calculations. I don't mind though. Let me get back to you.
2643267 Did it. That's 1 278 981 words.
2643276 Well, I did say I was in this for the long haul, did I not? Besides, I may have a sequel to write, if I ever get that far/the fandom survives long enough to see it.
2643278 If it doesn't survive myself and many others will expect it to go on to be continued on fanfiction.com/net/ca
2643311 Well, if this site goes down (somehow, and I'm hoping it doesn't), it'll be continued on Fanfiction.net at any rate.
2643316 I hope so. And I can't see the brony community going into a decline for a while. It also certainly won't be diminished as long as I live.
