Yo, yo, peeps. There's a new chapter published for Ballad of the Dawn. Catch it here!

Good news is that we're nearing the climax of the first arc in Ballad of the Dawn! I'm excited to show the new revelations that this new chapter has.

Bad news... my writing sucks in Chapter 10, so it may be another complete rewrite. Given that I have to introduce a plethora of new characters and at the same time expand more on the antagonist, the chapter is in surplus of 10k words itself. This will be a doozy, but I hope to release this chapter within the next four weeks.

Over the past couple weeks, I've been working with the editors at Equestria Daily to get the story featured on the site, and after a couple of changes, it finally did! A special thanks to AugieDog for helping me out with the finer details.

Expect the next chapter before the end of this month!

Hey guys! This is the last pre-written chapter I have in Ballad of the Dawn, so it's now on to brand new content! Enjoy!

So I finally finished the rough draft of Chapter 4 of Ballad of the Dawn. Honestly, it was a hard chapter to get through because, A) I needed to get someplace in the story in that chapter and B) there's a lot of character introductions to pad out their arrival to the story destination. It took me almost all month to finish the dang thing, and I'm finally where I want to be.

The title says it all! Go read and have fun even though this is one of the most depressing chapter's I've ever written.

Yo guys! Just wanted to do a quick update for you!

• The next chapter of Ballad of the Dawn is going smoothly. Just need to figure out an arc for it, and we're all set.
• More one shots will come out soon! I'm out of a writers block, and am up and kicking. Expect a lot of content out of me this coming month. I'm saying this because...

So, I can say for the most part we all saw this coming. It was leaked about when Season 8 was, and now it's confirmed. FiM is ending.

So, the show itself is something that I've been a fan of since I was fifteen (geez, five years), but I've always been more of a fan of the creativity of the fan base. Things like fan fiction, art, music... I've not seen a fan base so talented and artistic.

Hey guys! So with Arc 1 having finished up and me taking a little break from the main storyline, it's going to be a little bit before the next chapter arrives. So, I decided in the meantime to share the 'beta' stages of Ballad of the Dawn with you guys. These were the chapters that I submitted to EqD when NaPoWriMo 2017 concluded. I ended up padding out the first arc a lot, and nearly gutted chapter 4 (now chapter 8 and 9). So if you want to figure out how it all started,

Yo guys! New chapter of Ballad of the Dawn! Go read it!

Hey guys! So just letting you know that the new chapter will drop tomorrow. It's a little later than I had anticipated, but that happens sometimes. It's unapologetic filler, but I just needed to give Trixie a little bit of a break after what's happened. The next chapter after this is going to focus on Opal and her backstory, so stay tuned for that as well!

This literally happened just a couple days ago. Taking a shower and then a flood of ideas come to my brain; I wanted to make Ballad of the Dawn into a trilogy. That was what that previous 'ideas' post was about.

Yooooooooooo! It's finally here! Go read it!

There's a new chapter for Ballad of the Dawn available! Will Trixie and Discord escape the underground Zebra village in one piece?

Sorry about the wait, the whole COVID situation sucked the creative juices out of me.

Hey guys! Taka here. Chapter XV is out! Go read it!

(I also really need to not put a time or release date on my chapters, because I never follow through with them. But chapter XVI is coming, with a story arc starting with one of our secondary characters.)

... Let it not be said I'm not a man of my word. I'm just a very slow man of my word!

Anyways, chapter is out! Get a load of that sweet sweet filler. Trixie just needs a break, okay?

Also, expect the next chapter by July 21st. We're going to be deep diving into some juicy backstory with Opal. Then, arc two will kick off.

Enjoy~!

Hey all, Takarashi282 here! Chapter VI of Ballad of the Dawn is now available!

(I promise that this is the last filler-esque chapter, just needed to give Trixie some character development!)

Read it here!

Welp, with the turn to November finally here, it's time to strap myself into my word processing software and write for dear life.

See you on the flipside.

Hey guys! Thanks for your patience. This chapter has been in the works for a while, and it's the last filler chapter before Act 2 for the book starts up proper. Go ahead and give it a read, and I'll see y'all in the next chapter.
