The Columbus Day Update · 6:09am Oct 13th, 2018
I've been delaying this update for quite some time. I initially planned to get it done by July 3rd (around the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg), but instead I've had to delay it, mainly because of writer's block, motivation, and admitted personal laziness. Although Columbus Day is (was) usually observed on Monday, the actual landing occurred today on the 12th.
I have just uploaded chapters 14 and 15. These chapters start a new mini-arc which will end in Chapter 16, which I have written most of and plan to release soon. The story arc in the city served to demonstrate just how cruel and vicious the wasteland could be, while this mini-arc is here to remind our characters that there are still glimmers of hope.
After I finish 16 and 17, I will begin the second major arc of the story. At the glacial pace I have been writing so far, I fear that by the time I finish writing (if I ever finish writing), there won't be any bronies left to read it. However, this will not deter me from at least trying. I was surprised to find that my story has now surpassed 100,000 words, since the story is only just beginning.
