The New Plan for 2024 · 1:34pm March 10th

Hey, all!

So, Royal Equestria Cavalry will be wrapping up in April, with just ~4 chapters left to go (and maybe an epilogue, we'll see).

Next up, thanks to some recent rebinging of a certain sci-fi classic, is going to be:

Roadmap Update · 2:47pm Sep 11th, 2023

Whew! Well, Cyberpony: 1077 ran a little overlong thanks to me sucking at sticking to the chapter layouts and pacing I start out with. It's certainly a chronic issue I have :( (side-eye's Legacies :trixieshiftright:) But, it is concluded, and so now we shall move on to the next story on the docket: Royal Equestrian Cavalry: Blood and Honor.

Celestia as my witness, I'm going to try and fail to keep this one to ~100k words!

Tomorrow marks 9 years and almost 2 million words for me on FimFiction!

Wow...

That's, like, 2 Harry Potter series worth of writing on this site. If I'd invested that time writing "real" stories, I might have become a world-famous author by now!

Meh. Who needs that kind of pressure in their life?

Back to torturing tiny technicolor horses for my and your amusement!

2023 Roadmap · 3:03am Dec 26th, 2022

Hey, y'all! Not dedz, I super promise!

Been working hard this holiday season, which means hardly working on my writing :/ But that changes in January. Yay! There are a few stories in the pipe that'll start posting with the new year. Not firm on how frequent there will be chapters, but they will be monthly at a minimum. I'm (mostly) confident I can do 1st and 15th updates through just about the whole year; we'll see.

First out of the gate:

A(nother) Slight Delay! · 10:11pm Apr 10th, 2022

As was mentioned in the notes of Chapter 51, the ending's getting pretty lengthy. It's just about wrapped up, but I will need a couple more days to close it out. Should be posted no later than Wednesday, but most likely Tuesday. I think I'll still be able to get the epilogue out by the 20th, but we'll see...

Slight Delay · 12:52pm Mar 19th, 2022

Hey all! I came down with a nasty flu last weekend that laid me out for a few days, which put me pretty far behind on my writing. So chapter 51 won't be up until the 30th. Sorry about that!

Good New/Bad New · 1:34pm Oct 19th, 2021

So...Bad news first:

Chapter 39 is going to need to be pushed back a little bit due to Real LifeTM things.

As for the good news, also there's no good news!

Just kidding; both chapters 39 and 40 will be up on the 30th :P

See you guys then!

Accelerating Chapter Updates · 3:25pm Oct 27th, 2020

So, Covid has left me with a lot more writing time than I'm used to and, as a result, I've now found myself with a SIX CHAPTER buffer for Ashes. It's a buffer that's only likely to grow with time, and it's getting kind of ridiculous.

As a result, starting in November, Ashes will be getting chapter updates on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month until further notice.

If the buffer keeps growing after that, we'll see about weekly updates, but that feels like pushing it, honestly.

Next Story · 11:09am Apr 16th, 2020

So, The Lost Empire will be wrapping up next month, which means that a new story will be started in its place.

The trouble is, I'm having a hard time deciding which of the three currently in-production stories I should focus on. At the moment i'm bouncing between them and if I keep that up for the next month I risk falling behind in whichever one I ultimately decide on. Covid-19 has given me a LOT more time to write, and I want to see how long I can keep doing biweekly updates.
