    Words for the dead.

    I've made a few friends on here. People I think of outside this site. People who's conversation I value, who's name and face I know.

    One of these souls is no longer with us.

    Late in February TheMyth passed away from medical complications due to an infection.

    Signal boost: Mission to the pony planet

    So one of my editors has finally launched a story they've been writing on for years. If you enjoy reading in the EQG setting it's a fun story. Go check out: Mission to Pony Planet.

Tears of a Foal, future update schedule. · 2:45am Jan 3rd, 2015

Ch 12 and 13 are in the final editing phase. I'll post them Monday or Tuesday as a set.

Ch 14 is roughed out, 15 is at the 50% mark. I think they will be ready week after next, also as a set.

After that, it's going to be quiet for a while. I have an odd sort of job that puts me on the road 8 weeks at a time, with 2 weeks off in between. The good news is that I do my best writing on the road. My writing time is much more defined, and I have little to distract me.

My vision for this story takes it to about 25 chapters, give or take a few. 2,500 will be my target word count for each chapter. I'm going to get a rough draft for the rest of the story finished, before I start the second draft / editing process. Then I'll get the chapters up as fast as their finished. In short, after ch 15 is posted, there won't be any new chapters for about 2 months, then the rest of the story will get published.

Sounds good, its a interesting story and I am curious what his backstory is, you've managed to keep quiet on that front so far....

Sucks to wait, but you have good reasons. I'll be a-waitin'!

Awww, disappointed we have to wait that long for the rest of the story, but it makes up for being a great story. :pinkiesmile:

While I'm disappointed that I'll have to wait for a while for an update as this story is slowly creeping up as one of my top five with each chapter, I appreciate we all have lives and as such they get in the way of such things. Thank you so much for letting us know though, as some authors just leave fics for an extended period of time with no warning or explanation :facehoof:
If I might say though, don't force yourself to write while on the road, as the content could possible come out feeling rushed and not comparable to your current quality. Though I won't complain either way :twilightblush:

No worries. The majority of this story was written when I was on the road in October and November.
