Chapter 8 delayed in favor of 3 new upcoming projects. · 12:26am Oct 25th, 2018
Hello everybody!
First and foremost, sorry for another delay... But this time, it's not because I'm running away, quite the contrary actually!
I was thinking about how "slow" The Nameless Queen is in terms of progression. Once a new chapter comes up, I wait for around 2 weeks for votes to come in, then, I go through the votes and take around 1 to 2 weeks to come up with a new chapter that not only follow the previous votes, but also takes into consideration how to leave an open enough ending so that more voting can occur, making sure that all the options are properly balanced in terms of risk/reward, appeal, and if they'll have enough weight in the story to make sure that everybody that participates know how much their choices really impact the story. Suffice to say, that's a lot of work and there is always the odd rewrite or scrapping of the original idea that makes each chapter take longer than usual!
Because of this long process, there are a lot of stories that I wanted to write related to TNQ that are kept on hold, waiting for it to be complete so I have more free time to work on them. Now, call me paranoid, but the prospect season 9 being the last season of the show is a possibility that heavily worries me, and for a simple fact; The Nameless Queen (and its side projects) are comment driven stories, meaning that they need readers to not only survive but to move forward as well.
Because of that, I've decided to work on and publish all the other 3 projects related to TNQ now, leaving only 1 project on the waiting line as it requires the completion of the original story.
My focus still is completely placed on the completion of TNQ, but these side projects will act as "buffers" whenever I'm stuck at some chapter or if I'm on a writing spree, allowing me to cycle through them while waiting for the comments of the other.
Now, some of these projects have already been presented before, but I'd like to show you them again, together with the new ones!
The first one is Ecstasy's Delights!
I've previously introduced this story before. But, in summary, it's a side story to E-Quet-ria (which shares cannon with TNQ XD) where you help Arch Queen Ecstasy build and take care of her own brothel, eventually expanding the business into other areas like blacksmithing and potion making! It will be a funny story, full of quirky characters and lots of kinky moments 
The second one is Exiles. 
In this story, you control a group of rogue, elite changelings that have been exiled from their hives and now they've bound together to turn Equestria into their private hunting grounds, allowing no pony or changeling to stand in their way! This story delves into the really dark parts of what changelings are capable of, leading to some pretty disturbing situations. Not really for the easily disturbed, but sure to be a good read for all of those who want a little break from the friendly, lovey-dovey changelings that The Nameless Queen has become
The third and last one is Decadence. 
This story is a big "what if?" In this case, "What if Nameless fails to stop Chrysalis during the invasion of Canterlot? I don't want to spoil this story too much, but this story will not only deal with the harshness of survival in an apocalyptic setting, but it will also carry a lot of feels with it, and not the heartwarming kind 
That's it for now, ladies and gentlemen, I just wanted to keep you all on par of what I have planned for now. After each of these stories are out, I'll resume working on chapter 8 of TNQ which I'm totally not stuck at, of course... XD and it's 3k views special.
See you all later! 
-A.M.
Please let me know what you think of each story! Your feedback will allow me to gauge interest and shift the priority in favor of one specific story!
All three of these new projects sound great, but you know me... I am the lovey-dovey kinda gal so Ecstacy is right up my alley.
Exile is also interesting only for me to mitigate the damage the others will certainly make... Yes! I am talking to you Apathy and Lightning!
especially rescue as many ponies as I can... Mommy will take good care of them
As for the third, I am quite impartial as I would like strategy and survival, but I don't want to burden you with too much work so this is my last option or resort if the other two won't be picked.
Excited with what you are going to come up with, The Discord Team is always here to support you
