    Trials of a Royal Guard Physical Print

    Hello everyone!

    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

    The Rules

Quill & Blade December Update! · 3:14pm Nov 29th, 2015

Hello readers!

I hope you all had a lovely American Thanksgiving! We did here at Quill & Blade for sure. Now that December is upon us it is time to discuss something important: vacation and scheduling! Crystal and I want to make sure you're all in the loop. Danger: Spoilers below the line.


November 30 - December 3 - End of Wishes

This week we will follow our normal schedule with the wedding extravaganza. Both Secrets and Wishes will feature two chapters each showing the wedding of our respective protagonists.

When the Wishes chapter ends on Thursday so will that story. It has been an amazing ride and we thank you for staying with us.

December 7 - December 11 - Vacation

Crystal and I are actually taking a vacation. A real one. No work, no cold weather, no parrot, and no deadlines. There will not be any updates for any stories during this time.

December 14 - December 18 - Side Stories / Secrets

Crystal will be focusing on Velveteen Mask, Lovey Dovey, and potentially Horsey.

I will be releasing chapters 51 and 52 of Secrets.

December 21 - December 25 - End of Secrets / Vacation

Chapters 53 and 54 will conclude Secrets of a Royal Guard. These will be queued up and prepared in advance (as normal).

Beyond that we'll also be on vacation this week. There will be no other updates this week.

The Future

Silent Knight's and Crystal Wishes's mainline stories will be on hiatus for a brief period of time while Crystal and I plan. We'll be doing updates in the form of side stories.

I'll be launching Sunny's Days.

Patreon Cameos will be fit as best we can but may be lax in December. We hope you understand. Thank you all for being amazing readers and supporters. We hope you have a lovely holiday and look forward to sharing the conclusions to our stories with you this holiday season.

Fair juice to ya! Nice to know in advance. Hope you come back refreshed and knock our socks off.

hey, you do what you gotta do! personally I think you should have more vacationing, like Europe or something awesome like that but that's just me.

enjoy your time off when you take it... will be hard, but i will go without SK for some time, will give me more time to catch up with crystal

It feels like you both don't understand what being a fanfiction author is all about. Where are the unannounced month or even year long hiatuses?

Don't get to into your recreation of the Crystal Empire that you dash out into the snow in only a scarf and snazzy snowglasses.

Ok, so I would love to see Sekrets and Wishes continuation to be one story with chapters of perspective of eather SK or CW. Or a mixed narration between the two.

Also - Dayuum! The wedding is near, gonna get my suit fast! Why can't I restrain my own thoughts? Meh. :unsuresweetie:

So Secrets and Wishes are ending this month... Always a bittersweet feeling when a great story/ies ends (even if sequels are planned).

*Watches from the shadows*

3577946 We'll certainly be refreshed :) Hopefully the new stories will be quite entertaining. I'm stoked about Sunny's tale.

3577982 We probably should take a few more days off than we do but we love you all! We have to keep up the work!

3578033 This is true! Plenty of time for folks to catch up on other stories.

3578044 Hahaha. Yeah... consistency and letting people know things. What is that about!

3578090 That would be interesting for sure. Not the direction we're going for Guard 3, Wishes 2, but interesting!

3578230 We actually feel the same way. Crystal is struggling with the idea of finishing Crystal's Wishes.

3578422 I'd call the police but we know it's you!

3578440 'I expect an invite.' ~WP :P

Have an excellent vacation!

Have a glorious vacation!

Hahaha. Yeah... consistency and letting people know things. What is that about!

This. Sometimes I feel like I am dreaming when I realize how good you guys are on this.

Nooo, secrets will end!:fluttercry:

but have a great weekend anyways!

So very sad that they're ending. But these have been such phenomenal stories. And the best stories leave you wanting more in the right way after all. So to you both I say bravo on what has come thus far, cheers to the now, and good luck to the future! I'll still be here reading.
