While not technically 'new' anymore, and not under my aegis, I would like to promote a story I'm working on with the redoubtable Firesight, who edited and later authored the novelization for Turnabout Storm.
Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly is a fic that stars Firefly, a Gen 1 pony who we decided to place into the TAS universe as a legendary pegasus who founded the group that would become the Wonderbolts. As its title implies, the fic is meant to show her rise to glory, starting from her days in basic training for the Royal Guard.
Originally, this was meant to be one chapter of a fic that would be various snippets of life in the TAS universe beyond what Twilight and Phoenix experience. However, as ideas for Firefly's backstory grew, we decided it would be best for her to have her own story to herself. The slice of life fic will still go ahead, but it will be set in the present day of Equestria/Earth, rather than several centuries in the past.
I hope you people who enjoy Pony Fantasy IV will enjoy this fic as well (And no worries, the edits to PFIV are proceeding, albeit slowly. More bulletins as events warrant).
Thanks for giving this a shoutout, Leo.
It's a really awesome story set in medieval Equestria and featuring a look into the tactics of war used by both ponies and griffins and told from Firefly's perspective. The action starts off early with Firefly's struggles through boot camp in the all-stallion special forces unit she's signed up for. Future chapters will tell of her experiences in combat in defense of Equestria. All of it, of course, will flow into the already sizable canon established in the TAS Universe. I highly recommend it!
