A few days ago, I released Chapter 41, and for the first time ever, I completely forgot to add a quote at the beginning. Those of you who have been reading the story know that every chapter begins with a quotation, (either from a song lyric, or a book, or a philosopher, etc.). Today, I was finishing work when I suddenly realized that I hadn't picked a quote at all, or even thought about what it was going to be.

For those of you following Rose Petal's adventures, a new chapter of The Hooves of Fate drops tomorrow. I can't wait to share it with you.

Writing is weird. An idea that I had several years ago for a single line of dialogue took over thirty chapters to actually get spoken, and once it did, it passed with very little fanfare.

Meanwhile, events that I did not foresee at all took me completely by surprise, and disrupted my meticulous little plans (almost in an instant). Characters have likewise surprised me - revealed sides of themselves that I hadn't realized were there.

My series, "Fallout: Equestria - The Hooves of Fate" has hit two milestones at once: 40 chapters; 300,000 words.

Woohoo!

I've been writing Hooves of Fate for over five years now. In that time, a lot has happened, and the story has legitimately taken me by surprise, and dragged me in directions I had never dreamt of going. After a Q&A with some of my Patreon supporters, I decided to start writing about some of the real life events that inspired Hooves of Fate, and to start sharing anecdotes relating to the development of the story.

I had never given fanfiction much thought before I was on the brony scene, and what thoughts I could spare on the subject were typically not very kind.

To all of you following Fallout: Equestria - Hooves of Fate, I have a brief announcement. I am currently in the process of writing a short story that will be released here on FimFic fairly soon once I'm done ironing out all of the kinks. It's a side story that follows one of Rose Petal's other visions. It fits into the Fo:E universe, but doesn't have anything to do with the grand story arcs central to Hooves of Fate.

Today is Veterans Day, and the 97th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. It was my hopes to have Chapter 22 of The Hooves of Fate complete by today and ready for publication. Those of you who have been following the story know that this adventure has been heavily influenced by World War I. It would have been nice to draw that adventure to a close on the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, but I failed in that goal.

It has been a little over a month since I've released a chapter, and I want to let everyone who has been following The Hooves of Fate know that the next chapter is, in fact, coming along nicely. There are a lot of big things going on in the No Mare's Land adventure – things I have to get just right, or my brain hornets will kill me. I'm currently working on Chapters 19 and 20 simultaneously - polishing up one, while first-drafting the other, so it's taking me a little while. I
