Wow! Fallout: Equestria - Of Shadows has passed two hundred total views! It's a bit surprising considering that there hasn't been a new chapter since before it reached one hundred. But... that's soon changing. :rainbowdetermined2:

Mark your calendars.

January 10th, 2017.

Chapter 3 is coming in a week. It's been stuck in development hell for about three months now, and it's reached a point where I simply need to get it out. It's been gradually expanded and revised since before Chapter 2 was released, in addition to having editorial input from several different people. My original editor did work the first few pages, but unfortunately he seems to have left the project due to lack of free time. Thankfully, a FoE writers' group I recently joined has helped give feedback on excerpts of the chapter. All in all, I think it's just about ready for publishing, and I need to do this to keep the story's forward momentum going and to assist the progress of Chapter 4, which is complete but in need of editing and a possible overhaul as I fiddle with the plot's order of events.

In the meantime, I'm revising a few scenes in Chapter 1. A few critical pieces of feedback I've received recently have made me reconsider its progression, and I've actually been toying with the idea of a rewrite using cut content, particularly expanding the opening scene on the Phoebe. Whether or not the rewrite will happen will ultimately remain to be seen, but I hope that the smaller changes (primarily in the dialogue) will improve the overall tone and consistency.

Here's hoping 2017 is an amazing year for you, the show, the fandom, and for Of Shadows! :yay:
