This is a little progress report to help put the final version of Moondust into a better perspective.
So after three years of serving fried chicken I left my job last month. No worries, it’s all good.
Now that I have some free time on my hands, I have the chance to write more, art more, and get my life back into balance. Still no promises when it comes to speed and dates for chapters and things, but my creative juices are flowing a lot more smoothly now, which is good.
It's been a while. Chapter 19 of Moondust is trucking along. No set date, as usual, but it'll definitely be out before Christmas, and it'll be the largest chapter by far, so hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
For now, here's some worldbuilding talk. I want to explain a concept that I won't have the chance to properly explore until Golden Ghost Library: Thau-nuclear Force, or "TNF". Colloquially known as magic.
In my uneducated opinion, Terry Pratchett and George R.R. Martin are probably polar opposites.
I'm not sure where the year went, but I'm still here, trying and failing to be productive. Chapter 15 is in the final clean-up phase, so expect to see that before the end of next week.
For those of you who aren't aware, I do artwork over on Derpibooru alongside my writing here on Fimfiction. Derpibooru recently held its Anniversary Community Collab Thing, for which I entered a fully coloured picture of Skycroft and "Sleipnir"!
Moondust version 4? Maybe, but not right now. Some things just need to be left on the shelf until later.
Just a little update and how things are going.
What I've posted of Moondust so far constitutes the first rough "arc" of the story. The next few chapters are completed and ready to go, but I want to finish up the second arc before doing that. I need to make sure everything is as it should be.
The first new chapter is up! I'll probably post the next one on Tuesday and the next a little after that, etc.
I was going to make an updated cover image for the story, but it was taking way too long for too little of an upgrade, and I didn't want to risk stepping past the halfway mark of September before starting to post the new version. Don't want to keep people waiting any longer than they already have.
