Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day.  Light a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
The great Dwarfen Philosopher Urist McConfused said it best:  "Light a kitten on fire and it will run screaming into the booze stockpile and catch the whole fort up.  I know, we tested it in twelve different forts and it always happened."

not just a PTW but honestly "the" PTW. Are you putting them all together in an actual book? Or are your dwarves still scrambling around putting the quires together?

Once this story ends, I need to put a push on for the next book.  I have an outline of where it is going, and it is one third sketched.  There will likely be a hiatus.

Also, I have another story after the next book.  Also a good one.

It feels like the first book needs a final page to cover the inevitable fall of a Dwarf Fortress. Whether from invasion, accidental magma/water flood, tantrum spiral or whatever, there's always another seven ready to head out and start over.

The second book will cover the life cycle of a fortress.  I am concerned, however, that I may have bit off rather a lot. . .

I'm just getting to the stage where things are functioning "normally".

Actually, Dwarves make surprisingly good dancers.  You should see my all-dwarven rendition of "Carp River".  It's graceful and elegant, with plenty of screaming.

The internet encourages thoughtful, intelligent discussion and if you disagree I hate you.

Trust me.  This would look way cooler if it was animated.

This fluffy wambler is apparently sharp as a razor. . . Maybe I should keep some as ammunition in my next Fortress.

One of the greatest triumphs of Dwarf Fortress ever told, now in glorious shades of pencil coloring :P  Bravo mate.  Once I realized where you were going with this set, I immediately reread the bunny story, and then lost several hours just revisiting the Hall Of Legends.

And then he makes Fluffy Wambler stew.
No? Well I am pretty sure he's hungry after that ordeal.
