Short version is, in better keeping with the Fallout crossover theme, I adjusted the year the bombs fall in Renewal from 1067 to 1077.

Chapter 20 coming on Sunday! · 9:49pm May 9th, 2020
Chapter 20 is drafted out from start to finish and only needs a last proofing before it goes out tomorrow! I've taken some of the comments to heart and kept this one to a manageable size, opting to confine it to 20,000 words and moving some scenes into Chapter 21. I can't wait to get this one out to you folks, because things are beginning to happen!
And that's all I can say about tha-yut! :)
See y'all tomorrow!
Ah, looking forward to it; thanks!
And thanks for keeping the length down to what, at least in this sub-fandom, isn't that long a chapter. :D
Hopefully nothing else too big will come up and I'll be able to get to it fairly swiftly. :)

I can't complain too much, given FO:E is a genre about exploring the changes between show canon, past and present. Chapter just went up, I hope you enjoy!
5259687
Interesting. Why that specific reason, if you don't mind me asking?
And thanks! :)
5260381
Reason for the size, or?
5260459
...Er. I'm afraid your answer has made me significantly more confused? You appear to be asking me something? I'm not sure what, though. Sorry.
If it helps, I was asking about "FO:E is a genre about exploring the changes between show canon, past and present", and it being given, I thought, as a reason why you couldn't complain too much?
5260476
Oh! It's not meant to be literal, I'm not complaining at all. I'm enjoying this genre immensely! :)
5260481
...It's actually getting kind of amusing how we still seem to be talking past each other here? Puzzling, though. So, er, I'm, again, confused, and i'm not sure what you're talking about not being literal or how that's relevant.
I don't know, I'm still curious, possibly more so at this point, but do you think it's worth trying to continue this thread? I thought I had a simple question about how those features of the genre related to chapter length, as I understood it, but that doesn't seem to have gotten across and/or your answers aren't getting across to me.
Your concluding sentence there, though, is happily clear, and I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so much. :)

Hoooboy, haha.
What I meant was, Fallout: Equestria's setting lends itself to multiple stories within a story. For example, there's Canterlot as it was before the bombs and New Canterlot built up from the ruins of what wasn't pulverized when the bombs sent it sliding downhill. Every window has more than one pane of glass to peek through, which lends more room to a story to explore. Makes for girthy chapters.
5261191
Oh, glad you got some amusement from it too. :D
Ahh, thanks! At last, I (at least think I) fully understand your answer there. :D
(Also, I don't think I'd picked up on that detail about New Canterlot's location yet; neat, and thanks.)
5261206
Oh, yeah I described it during Julip's scene with Minister Primrose. Canterlot collapsed during Armageddon and a new capital was built by the Enclave not far from where the ruins came to rest. They repurposed scavenged material of the old castle to accent the chapel the two meet in.
5261236
Ah, thanks. Well, I don't recall how much of that I got then (sorry), but from your comment I'd thought that it was built actually on and incorporating the ruins, rather than nearby, so I've still been corrected. :)
5261239
Oh, no, but that would be an interesting route to take to be sure... though my brain immediately bends toward picturing Aurora planting a balefire bomb beneath the city and blowing it up in some murderous finale xD
5261243
...Huh. Why, if you don't mind me asking (and you have an idea why your brain did that)?
5261257
;p Just an author's mind looking for opportunities to be theatrical. It'd be pretty out of character for Aurora to pull something off like that, but something to pack into my head for the next fic!
5261264
Ah, something about dramatic scenes in old displaced ruins, then, I'm guessing? :)
Anyway, thanks, and thanks!
