Home in the Black - New Chapters incoming, Session Summaries updated · 10:19pm Sep 14th, 2020
Hey all, just a quick update on where Home in the Black is going.
Currently there are two stories underway in production. One is by myself, focusing on the chemistry between a couple of characters you are all very familiar with. The second, is by Napalm Goat returning with his third inclusion in this series after Mongoose and Castle of Glass, focused on a set of characters that have not yet been met in the stories here, but will be familiar to anyone who's read the session summaries!
It's not certain which one will come first yet, as we're both writing. Both seem set to be quite large, probably larger than any chapter thus far with the exception of One of Those Days. (Maybe longer, with how Goat's sounds!) So plenty of reading is coming.
I can't give a timescale, as ever I work on a 'when it's ready' mindset with this story. But I thought you'd all appreciate knowing.
In more news, Snipehamster has done some more sterling work in the Session Summaries, following the Jammers through their adventure in Site 2. If you haven't checked that out yet, then there's some more waiting for you now! Do note the Summaries are now in two parts due to the scale. Part 1 and Part 2
Thanks for checking it out all.
Looking forward to it!
I really enjoy your work. I brought your print of MN7 and it's only one of the few books I'm happy to read over and over.
I was at the airport waiting for my delayed flight (before COVID) and was reading it at the bar. I got talking to a couple at the bar and they asked me about the book, as they both quite liked reading and what not. I told them what it was about and explained the plot (left out it was a fanfic of MLP lol) and they where saying how interesting that sounds and the women seemed shocked she hadn't heard of it as she was really into fantasy.
Asked me if I had brought it at WHS Smiths or Waterstones (Two massive book sale retailers) and I said no I was able to find it online, they'd say that they would look and I remember her putting the name into her phone. I always wondered what she came across when she looked that up.
But again, thank you for your work.

It still makes my head spin to think about it being "out there" like that. That's amazing.
And don't I know the feeling, when I mention I write at family events or in job interviews and suddenly have to give the redacted explanation, what a time to have an ISBN book published in my name but can't tell so many about that.

If you removed the stigma of being a fanfic of MLP I truly believe it could be a best selling book like hunger gamers and such, it's a shame it takes basic knowledge of MLP it understand the MLP FOE world or else it would be widely more popular.
MN7 is truly a gripping and compelling story. And without blowing smoke up your arse I can't think of a really different story which has effected me in the same way. Murky wasn't a character in the end but rather to me a real living creature. When I talk to people about it like the couple I mention they truly find it fascinating as it gives a unique take on the post-apocalyptic world. I was once told that being animals instead of humans made it more interesting because humans view animals differently then humans and where more sympathetic to there characters no matter if evil or good.
Fun fact, during the early 1800s an artist made a poster about putting different type of animals up chimneys to clean them as the artist was against putting children up there to clean them and wanted to see how people would react if he suggest animals instead. This caused so much outrage that soon after it became against the law to put children up chimneys and the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) was created
