On the train today I came up with an idea for an extra, secret, chapter focusing on a pony that hasn't even been mentioned yet.
If you can guess it, you'll be PMed with a synopsis, and then asked to keep posting guesses so that nobody can cheat. I will not confirm or deny any guesses in the comments.

I ain't even giving you hints so lol.

In addition, progress on Retreat is going slowly, but I should have it done by late friday.

I just wanted to take a second out of my day and say thanks, thanks to all the followers, commenters, readers, critics, and everybody that I've been in contact with in any way. You're all awesome, this community is awesome, and I love you all.

Part 2 is gonna be huge. What follows is a list of expected short plot lines.

Stargazer, a member of National Police Force, investigates the disappearance of griffon citizens. He runs up against the Night Guard. Expect it to read like an X-Files episode. Will feature UFOs, pondering on the existence of aliens, and conspiracy.
Wildcard goes home.
Ren Excavo fights in the trenches on the southern front.
Spitfire leads the fleet.

As of the next chapter ACHNE will be longer then From the Desk of Ambassador Wildcard.
And it's only 1/5th done.

It's also going to absolutely huge, possibly as long as Wetwork. I originally planned for it to be a lot shorter, but there's a lot of baggage that came with Regency.

Luna, we've got a shitload of Luna!

Part 1 of 2! The next chapter is Retreat, and should have more action.
Board room meetings, war, that's me.

It's complete, but rather bare-bones at the moment. Get your comments in now, I would like to have it out tomorrow.
That's right, 24 hour countdown begun.

IT'S COMING

Next up: A two part arc-chapter involving everybody.

Somebody will meet their end in: Regency.

OH MY GOD

Go hog wild. It's about 40% done.

So I was kinda writers blocked, and decided to work on basically a gigantic piece of Lunar Exposition. It's very wordy, not really a story, and a whole lot of introspection. As such it's marked as 'Intermission', and can be safely ignored without degrading the story. I feel it's some neat background though.

Password is still Magnificent.

Will be published tomorrow, I think it's pretty solid as is, and is just a little side post.

Not much yet, and the draft is as of now filled with spoilers, pre-read links later. I just wanna post this and say that it's gonna be a lot lighter then the previous two. It also has a buttload of Luna, some Bat Ponies, and Spitfire, lot's of Spitfire. Delving into ~my made up head-canon~ backstory for her too.

Black Friday will be published in 24 hours, and I will then begin work on the last 'short' chapter before the next major events.

Get hype, we're going to have one less major character soon. Who is it?
I DUNNO

I'm asking the pre-readers to start commenting on it now, all I have to do is close it off and edit it. There's a few things noted that I would like looked at specifically.

The start and a bit Flash's background might be reworked a little, but otherwise it's around 80% complete.

Intermission chapters are being re-marked as "Shorts", since I might be penning a few chapters closer to the original intermission chapter from Wildcard.

Shorts focus on a specific person, or people, within the greater events of the war. These will effect the lives of those in the short, and specific parts of the greater whole, but won't have far reaching implications. The chronology is also much looser.

Intermissions are short dialogues, focusing specifically on a few people.

The password is Magnificent, since I figure anyone that cares enough to read my blog can go have a look. I'll warn you though that before these get published they generally change a lot, so unless you're curious about the inner workings of how I make these you should probably just wait.

It's really early right now but I figure I'll throw it out there now.

Tune in at some point for the next one, the second last chapter before the next major event.
What exactly is going on in Manehatten? What happened to Flash Sentry? Find out next time on: Black Friday.

Flash Sentry is getting the next chapter.
Flash Sentry in: Black Friday.

This signals 24 hours to 'release'. Pre-readers please hit me up with notes.
Luna's dialogue with Wildcard is do for a rework, other than that it's just minor clean up as far as I'm concerned.

Spitfire chapter following this, I'm not even gonna try and guess when that will be done, these are ending up far larger than I expected each time.
