    Hello all. Chapter 4:16 of Camaraderie is Sorcery has just been published. Along with Chapter 4:12.2 at the end of February, that makes two in the last month, which should be the norm from now on, barring any unexpected developments. Look forward to the next chapter in Camaraderie is Sorcery at the end of the month, followed by the next chapter in Fallout: Equestria - Common

    February 2024 Update

    The next chapter of Camaraderie is Sorcery is now out. It's a part 1 of 2, but you won't have to wait as long as usual for the next chapter because my editor's agreed to get a second chapter done this month. So, expect the next chapter either on the 29th or the 1st of March and 2 chapters a month going forward. I still didn't do any writing in the past month, but I'll be returning to it

    January 2024 Update

    The latest chapter of Camaraderie is Sorcery has just been published. Still expect the next chapter to come out the 15th of next month, but after that, I've spoken to my editor and am hoping to start publishing at the beginning of the month as well, to get these chapters out a little quicker. Over the past month, I've been taking a break from writing, and that will continue for the next

    December 2023 Update

    Just published is Chapter 20 of Fallout: Equestria - Common Ground. This'll be the last Common Ground chapter published for a while, but more are already written and coming after the next spate of Camaraderie is Sorcery chapters are out. I'll have to talk with my editor, but I'm hoping to start in the new year publishing a bit more frequently, potentially twice a month.

"The Master Plan": Camaraderie is Sorcery · 3:26am Aug 16th, 2017

With the publication of a new chapter of Camaraderie is Sorcery, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share my plans for the story. It's a very ambitious plan, as I think you'll see, and while it excites me to work on it, it also worries me because of the potential time it will take, but more on that later. Let's take a look at my plan for what I've dubbed the "Camaraderie-verse."

Main Storyline
Camaraderie is Sorcery
The core of this project is the story Camaraderie is Sorcery, in which I'm attempting to rewrite the plot of Friendship is Magic in a dark fantasy setting, converting many chapters and adding my own. This, by itself, is a large undertaking, as I intend to convert eight seasons (though it's likely that as seasons advance the proportion of added to converted chapters will grow larger). To facilitate this, I will be breaking the story into eight publication cycles. After each season (including an additional arc at the end of each season), there will be a short "hiatus" during which I will be publishing another story in the Camaraderie-verse (see Side Storyline below).

Forged in Fire: Equestria's Unification in Three Parts
A story taking place approximately 30 years after the end of Camaraderie is Sorcery, Forged in Fire tells the tale of a great war that changes Equestria forever. There's not much more I can say at the moment without spoiling some of the things I have planned for Camaraderie is Sorcery.

Beyond Camaraderie
A collection of short stories spanning several thousand years after Forged in Fire, chronicling the development of Equestria. Once again, not much else I can say without spoilers.

Side Storyline
Lady of Love
The first side-story in the Camaraderie-verse, Lady of Love tells Cadence's origin story and will be published in between the first and second seasons of Camaraderie is Sorcery.

The King in the North
The second side-story in the Camaraderie-verse, The King in the North tells of the war between Equestria and the Northern Empire after Emperor Borealis became corrupted and became King Sombra, and will be published in between the second and third seasons of Camaraderie is Sorcery.

The Other Side of the Mirror
This will actually be published as seven stories, subtitled Volumes 1-7, and mirrors the Equestria Girls films (the first few, at least) in a setting similar to early 20th century and WWI Europe.

Publication Order
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 1 chapters)
Lady of Love
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 2 chapters)
The King in the North
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 3 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 1
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 4 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 2
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 5 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 3
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 6 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 4
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 7 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 5
Camaraderie is Sorcery (Season 8 chapters)
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 6
Forged in Fire: Equestria's Unification in Three Parts
The Other Side of the Mirror: Vol. 7
Beyond Camaraderie

So, as you can see, this is a pretty large and ambitious plan, as I said before. To help achieve this goal, I will be changing my publication style. Alternating back and forth between stories hasn't been working well for me. I believe the added turnover time from switching mental gears in writing is detrimental and it would be more productive to write several chapters in a row for each story before switching. So, there may be a bit more time between publications of chapters in a single story, but hopefully that will mean more chapters published in rapid succession.

So, yeah, there's my long-term and short-term plans for Camaraderie is Sorcery and publishing in general. Questions or comments? Leave 'em down below. And, as always, happy reading.

Until next time,
