“There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.” - Ernest Hemingway
I think I need more charges
Just your average loser writing fanfiction about post-apocalyptic pastel ponies. Life is good.

So I'd planned to make an April Fools Day post that pranked you into thinking OSha was going to be cancelled... but ultimately I couldn't bring myself to do something like that. Instead, have a new piece of art!
Just in case you missed it, OSha's first chapter has been fully rewritten and revised, and the changes are now live! There is only one significant change, but it is important enough that I recommend checking it out. The second chapter will be along as fast as I can manage, and then the beginning will be all sealed up and I can devote all my time to Chapter 6.
I also commissioned a scene from the rewrite!
On July 27th of 2016, a few months after completing Fallout: Equestria, I jotted down a mental image of a Steel Ranger lost in a swamp. I then discovered FiMFiction and the burgeoning sub-fandom for FoE, and knew I wanted to take this idea and turn it into a story. After developing it into draft and receiving positive feedback from others (even an interested Kkat), Fallout: Equestria - Of Shadows was published on October 23rd, 2016.

How about that fifth chapter, huh? Hopefully you now understand why it took so long; it was about the length of two chapters, but I didn't feel right splitting it apart. In the end I'm quite satisfied with the end result, and I really have Typoglyphic to thank for helping out near the very end.
