Army Mobilized! · 7:29am Jun 18th, 2016
Greetings everyone!
I've been working on a few stories in the Icicle storyline simultaneously and finished the first of the two recently. Army of Cora! Unlike my previous stories in the Icicle storyline, this particular one does not involve Ratchet. This one is focused on Cora. It isn't a grand adventure or anything like the previous ones, however.
Army of Cora focuses on Cora and what she does during some of the time when Ratchet is frozen. It is told from Cora's perspective as she recalls the events. Because of this, it is rather fast paced and doesn't have too much detail in it. I kind of wrote it to explain what happens between stories. How the characters introduced in Army of Cora come to be, who and what they are, etc. That way, when they show up when Ratchet is awake, not much time is needed to discuss them.
I do want to eventually write a story that focuses on Cora while Ratchet is asleep that isn't something like this. I want it to be some sort of adventure, but the specifics of it have yet to come into being.
The last thing I want to note about this story, is that it isn't necessarily meant to be read all at once. Due to the fact I am kind of just throwing stories in where I think they should fall on the timeline, dozens of stories could take place between the chapters of Army of Cora. So, if you want to read things sequentially, you would read the 1st chapter then other stories then come back to the 2nd chapter. But, at this time, no stories exist between any of these chapters, so you can read them sequentially. They don't hold any spoilers for things to come in other stories except the introduction of characters.
That's all about Army of Cora folks, so check it out!
In other news, the other story I am working on should be ready to come out in here shortly. It takes place after the 3rd chapter in Army of Cora, but you don't need to be familiar with the characters in Army of Cora to read it, they don't play a part in it. It is called the Spear in the North. Look for it in the near future!
Lastly, I have so many other story ideas for Ratchet and Cora. I get little rays of inspiration, but they would only fill a paragraph alone. Currently, other than Spear in the North there are two major stories I have thought out to a decent extent. But, I've only written down some major points for them, nothing more. There are also other Fallout Equestria stories I want to tie Ratchet into. The main ones, obviously, but others that I have read. She won't play a grand role in these stories, but she will do something behind the scenes. After all, Cora is supposed to unfreeze her when major things happen. If Ratchet were frozen during some major event in the wasteland, that'd be kind of weird. But, that stuff will happen after I finish Spear, and I'll have to get in touch with the authors of those stories to see what they think about my ideas for Ratchet interfering with their stories.
As a final note, I finally commissioned some artwork to be done for the original Icicle story. Once the artist finishes that up, the story's cover will be updated and I'll finally get around to doing a reading of it on my youtube. XD Oh, and I'll probably make another blog post about it.
Ok, that's it for me. Sorry for the long winded talk. Catch ya all next time!
tl;tr - New story, check it out.
