The Masks We Wear will likely be turned into a longer series.
But I need opinions, both from my readers and my Patreons.
Tell me, what do you think?
She's looking at you. Yes you. And she is judging you with her eyes. There is no escape.

Yes let us see how they handle vermin in the weedverse.
i don't think it would need to be a long series, per se. I think it would be an interesting change of pace if you made each chapter a longer span of time apart. The next two or three chapters could be him learning his new trade, and then the next ones would be set a few years down the line. Like snapshots of his entire life more than the year or two where things are interesting.
Obviously you can do what you like, but i feel like most of your stories tend to pack a lot of stuff in into a short amount of relative time, and i think it would be interesting for you to try something different.
What can I say? Beyond the cartoon rats of "Ratatouille," nobody loves real, wild, rats. I want to see them carted to the scariest cave in Equestria and dumped in by the wagon-load until either they or the horrid thing within has been destroyed.
Don't bring popcorn to eat while watching the fight. You won't want it.
It's awesome that he's proud of being a rat catcher. But how does Noble Canterlot perceive his profession? How big/evil/chaos influenced are these rats? Who does he make friends with now?
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Well, knowing you. Your protagonist will either end up a scarred shattered wreck of a pony with many wives or slowly go through childhood in a perpetual state of growing up.
I vote for the one that involves lots of dead rats at the hooves of our pyrotechnic pony.

What I hope to do is show the Rat Catcher's Guild as it transitions into bastion against disease. Sort of like Equestria's CDC.
It would be more than just killing rats of course, as the rats serve Him. In the deep, dark places, they serve as His eyes and ears. It would give readers another view on how the big bad of the Weedverse works against the light of the world as He tries to bring about an end to all things.
Yesssss, write for us. Give us your work, your soul, your life.Sounds good!
Only if it has real relevance to the rest of the main weed story, really :X

See my comment posted just a few minutes ago.
4296868 It wasn't there when I loaded the page! And hm. That might be interesting, though I meant more in the sense of interaction with the rest of the cast~
4296841 Twilight and who? (never say that in this site)

Twilight Sparkle and Eeyore are my OTP.
The Rats! They are coming!

Send in Vinyl the Pyromaniac! Just hope Donut Joe's coffee shop & bakery doesn't catch alight or we'll have another Lundy!
Edit: Maybe too much candle power?

Oh Celestia it gets worse!!

Oh, right Weedverse that means Goatlike Elder-gods.
I dunno, I always had a hard time taking him seriously as a villain.
Oh horses, more ratwords? Well... if you insist!
Can we look forward to flaming rats careening about setting fire to things at some point?

Only Grogar is goatlike.
The others... are indescribable.
I am now imagining a colony of breezies which is riding the rats through the sewers, harvesting the waste fat and syrupy outflow from the bakeries of canterlot.
New story? I'll need to read it.
It would definetly be nice to have another story about a young colt learning and growing into his role.
Plus, him and his mentor roaming the streets and canalisations of Canterlot for vermin does sound like it will make some awesome adventure chapters.

.-.
Flash sentry.
Yup, i want to see where it goes.
4296865 i feel loke him isnt Grogar...
Though it does still very much work since Necromancy does take advantage of illness. I feel conflicted.

Agreed, a format that hops around chronologically might be the way to go to show snapshots of progress.
Then again a focused, intense story further along in training about tackling a suddenly rising wave of vermin could be a good way of conveying more narrative without ending up with another 200,000 words, assuming you're looking to avoid that.
Whatever way you choose, I feel like this is an opportunity to have grit and adventure in a localized area that works within the wider scope of the weedverse.
