AP1's 7 year anniversary is coming up very soon. I haven't really been celebrating each year on the blog, but I hope any fans will rejoice with the series being around for so long. I think I'll try to make AP1-related Q&As on Goodreads. I don't think I'll return to VSS365 just for AP1, but I suppose it would be an easy way to celebrate. I've been working on this series since 2010, which is a very long time. It is very close to my heart for sure.
Sometimes I regret adding extra details to AP1. For example, groups like Warhawk, Zaeed Front, and the Afghan insurgent groups were not in the original drafts for the first three Armored Piercings. They do add an interesting dynamic to the world of the series, but it created a lot more work for me. One recurring issue I had while writing AP4 was repeatedly forgetting details I wrote earlier, which resulted in plot holes later on in the book. I don't usually write outlines, but for AP4 I had to write multiple for each main plotline so I could properly keep track. I may need to do the same with AP3. I think I was premature in stating that AP3 will come out in 2026 at the earliest.
Welcome to our group Armored Piercing Operations! A space for us to connect with each other and share our love for the series. Feel free to post your thoughts, theories, etc.
