Seriously contemplating starting chapter 26 already...
It's actually very complete! Just needs art for it. Now, I had received word from paper pony around March that he was eager to participate again. I showed him the chapter, and he read it. He was pleased and enthusiastic!
My hands are freezing, as I just came in from the chilly outside, having watched some fireworks.
Anyhow,, here's a sketch of a grimy and weary Rosy from our guest artist.
And here's something to celebrate the new year with!
Paper pony has sadly informed me that he can't work on FPV, citing a lack of interest in drawing. He didn't sound like the happy guy I knew him as. I don't know if his lack of interest might be depressing, or if he has depression that saps his artistic drive. I can only tell with certainty that I feel understandably dispirited. While it's possible he may return to drawing (and FPV) in the future, there's no telling when that will be. But I wish him the best, and we remain friends. So, as much

The first pass of edits have been done. This is then followed by a second or final pass, and then the art. I can't say how long that takes, but I'm guessing around two weeks. I suppose it could go faster with a few more analytical eyes inspecting the chapter, but I won't dedicate this blog post to editor soliciting. I'm only letting you guys and gals know that he chapter's shaping up.
Yep. It's coming. The final review stage has begun! Now, I still don't got an ETA, unfortunately. I don't even dare to give a rough guess. I think I'll have a better idea on what the publication date will be once the illustrations are being implemented.
