Fate of "Tale of 2 Big Boys". I Need Help from Everyone · 5:58am Apr 6th, 2022
Hello Everypony,
ScarFox 9700 here. For a long time now, a lot of you have been asking me about "Tale of 2 Big Boys", and when it'll come out, and well, I have some bad news. As I've said before, this story was a collab project with a user known as "An Iowa Class Battleship", the author of "Rails of Destruction", and other stories. However, as some of you might have noticed, not only has Iowa deleted all of his stories, but he's also deleted his whole account, and has left FIMFiction. And when Iowa left FIMFiction, and deleted his account, as well as deleting "Rails of Destruction", this led to the loss of a PM that had ALL of our story lore in it, as well as VITAL lore that was needed in "Rails of Destruction". So now the story is all on me, and it's seemingly dead in the water. It was almost to a good place where I could have started writing on my own if I had to, but it wasn't there yet, as Iowa still needed to write more about "4-8-8-4", and left me hanging. HOWEVER, make no mistake, "Tale of 2 Big Boys" WILL still be happening! I've sunk too much into it to just let it go, but I need help.
I need help from all of you. There's a lot of people who read my stories, and a lot of people who used to read Iowa's former stories too. Did any one of you download "Rails of Destruction" when it was still up? Or do you know someone who does? It is CRITICAL that I find this story, or even parts of it, as it contains lore that is VITAL to me being able to write "Tale of 2 Big Boys". I can recreate at least some of the lore from the PM from memory, but without "Rails of Destruction", "To2BB" may never be able to happen, as there's too much lore about "4-8-8-4", various characters that Iowa created (Ryan, Michelle, Victoria, Serina, etc) that I don't know about, and cannot recreate easily. So can any of you help me? Do any of you, or anyone you know, have a download of "Rails of Destruction", or any part of it saved anywhere that you can send to me? ANY help with this will be greatly appreciated, and will immensely help as I continue work on "To2BB"
Thank you,
ScarFox

Hello MikiStenbeck,
And more like this story faltered, went off the rails, and then crashed. Now it's being rescued by a salvage team, and is back on the rails, but is being moved to a siding for evaluation, and some reworking before continuing onward with it
