    Fantasy Novels

    Many of the comments to my previous blog entry were asking if there was any way of acquiring the fantasy books I mentioned. As I said, my goal is to get an agent and then a book deal, so at this time I've decided against self-publishing.

    August Update

    Hello! It's been some time. I suppose I should keep everyone abreast of the latest goings-on in my life, which, alas, include no MLP fanfiction.

    New Stories Possible

    Dusting off the cobwebs here. It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been writing original fiction most of this time--that, and going to graduate school. Even as we speak I'm working on a fantasy novel, which is the second in a series I've been writing.

    Update For My Friends

    Hello everyone!

    I realize I've been terribly quiet for some time now, and that the 'sequel short story' I was writing for Besides the Will of Evil never really materialized. For anyone who was anticipating it, I very much apologize.

    Calling Mapmakers

    It occurs to me that one of the things Ardo Roccolato has been missing is a map--a way to locate the various countries of my world in their relations to each other. Does anyone know of any good fandom mapmakers? I'm willing to commission someone. I'd just like a visual depiction of the various lands I've written about--Equestria, Gildedale, the Crystal Empire, the Shimmerwood, Issidonia,

Arda Roccotálato · 9:21pm Aug 13th, 2015

After giving it some thought, I've decided that I'd prefer my world known first and foremost as Arda Roccotálato, rather than Roccotálarda. The former isn't really that much more cumbersome than the latter, and I like the word "Arda" standing by itself. However, anyone who wishes to write the world's name down is free to use either one, as she or he chooses.

On that note, I would like to formally announce that: Anyone who wants to write a story set in Arda Roccotálato is free to do so. After all, since the stories I've written draw so heavily from both My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and The Lord of the Rings- among numerous other smaller influences- I don't really own anything in them. They don't belong to me, so I'm of the opinion they should belong to everyone. Anyone who wants to set a story in the universe, please don't hesitate to write it.

Several of my readers have written such stories already. Maran has written a moving character piece, Heavy Cost, while Wisdom Thumbs has written a lore-tastic war tale, The Weak. I love it when people take my ideas and run with them, so it's a special treat to read spinoff stories.

Any details you'd like to know, don't hesitate to PM me, and I'll answer questions to the best of my abilities. Good reading, and good writing!

Will there be a group made for stories that are set in Arda Roccotálato? It would be wonderful to have all the stories in one place and a group to follow in case more stories pop up in the future. :twilightsmile:
