Maretian Announcement, and Props · 9:55pm Nov 9th, 2018
I've decided to go ahead and add that tech appendix, plus a brief introduction, for The Maretian. This is more due to an ulterior motive (more on that in the author note for the appendix) than demand, but I think it does need doing.
But before I do that, I want to mention what really inspired me to attempt a daily update story.
What inspired me is Admiral Biscuit's SIlver Glow's Journal.
For all of you who kept complimenting me on managing daily updates (at a rough average of 1650 words a day), Admiral Biscuit managed the same feat, with a story that went over two months longer than I stretched Maretian... and over double the word count. Over 2600 words per day, and all in a single voice and format- all done consistently and consistently well. If was I did was an accomplishment, what he did was an exemplar.
And it's not just the one story. I've released ten stories on FimFiction, two of which haven't been completed. (And I really still want to finish Melancholy of Pinkie Pie, honest, even if nobody else cares.) The Admiral's done one hundred forty-three stories so far, long and short. In output he has me beat a mile, and most of it is not just good but excellent.
So, if any of you aren't aware of this stuff, be aware. And go check it out.
I doubt I'll ever match the output- writing is usually a difficult effort for me and only rarely an automatic thing- but it's still something to shoot for.
Biscuit's a machine, but The Maretian put you in my favorites list for a reason. :)
the maretian is a grate story, but before you under take a Callaghan like this i would spend some time chatting with Admiral Biscuit.
>Good luck!
I like your Writing style far more.
I have so many stories in my box, I shall definitely take a look.
The Maretian ticked all the boxes for me, this was a gem imo
Making a release a day would kill me. Just dead, right there, over the keyboard.

I'm fuckin impressed by Biscuit
I still think an amazing sequel would be The equestrian. Some how Mark is trapped on Equestria, and while survival is a little easier, he has to politically navigate Cantalot, rouge changelings, Chrysalis' maneuvers and maybe some kind of other threat that can't immediately be beaten by the now advancing technology. Maybe a Unicorn cult, using emp magic's shutting down all the tech they have been building? The martian was a Gem, and your series' encouraged my to buy KSP (though I'm not very good at it yet. Can just about get a stable orbit.)

May I use some of those ideas for Equus Tales?

Sure, I'm not writing anything at the moment, go nuts.
