There are a lot of reasons why Freeville Chronicles failed, some of them in-universe and some of them connected to real life events, but the most pronounced in-universe reason is probably the impossibility of its beginning. Some very simple and basic considerations inevitably lead to the conclusion that Freeville and its inhabitants and characters are impossible. They cannot exist for a number of reasons, but the most important one is also the simplest: The time frame is too short.

As I mentioned in my last blog post, Taking a Step Back from Fall of Equestria, I had the rest of Freeville Chronicles as well as a rough concept for a sequel mostly planned out. Since I'm likely not going to finish it, but I think it was an interesting concept and possibly would have been a story worth telling, I'm going to give you a rough idea of the concept I had. Instead of going

This decision has been a long time coming, but due to recent events, I have an announcement to make. I am taking a step back from my involvement in Fall of Equestria for an unknown period of time. I’m still in the process of determining what exactly that means, and whether it will be permanent or just temporary, and I already have the help of some of my good friends in the fandom in figuring it out, but as I said, it was a decision that had been in the making for a long while.

“Three crowns had the First King of the stags. One for the sun, a crown of baleful gold. One for the moon, a crown of mournful silver. And one for the earth, a crown of fateful bronze. Three crowns shall the Last King have, too.”

As promised, here is the outline and time frame of what the caribou invasion would have looked like in the Redux invasion story. Before we provide our own outline and timeline we had planned, I would like to give a quick rundown of non_creepy_nickname’s original timeline, so the problems of it become apparent. This will show how we solved most of them, and also the few issues we weren’t able to solve. Despite the fact that the invasion story isn't happening, this outline is still considered

Readers of my stories may have noticed that Freeville Chronicles is set to “On Hiatus” now. You don’t need to worry though, there will be more Freeville Chronicles stuff soon. I’ve set the story to “On Hiatus” because I have decided to slightly rework the earlier chapters. They have issues that I believe need to be sorted out. I can’t say how long this will take, but it shouldn’t take too long. This isn’t a complete reboot like the one in April 2015 or the one in July 2016, but rather just a

http://talefoundry.tumblr.com distinguishes between two different concepts of narrativity. They’re not really genres, though I guess you could call them meta-genres. In essence, they’re two different ways in which stories grow. These two concepts are Tale, and Myth.

Myth is defined as a story that originates from or changes through mimetic mutation.

As most people know by now, the FoE Redux project aims at remaking the Fall of Equestria universe, with a specific emphasis on the time from the Lindisbarne landing up to Equestria’s surrender, with the purpose of turning it into a consistent canon and then writing stories in this timeline, leading up to the Canterlot conquest and then to the conquest of the rest of Equestria. Of course, some heated debates have taken place in the course of this process on how exactly this can be done, and what
