    Feathered Hearts C&C chapter 40 will launch tonight

    I apologize for the long delay. The chapter draft was submitted to prereaders a month ago and well-received, but the graphics have taken me a while and several false starts. The main reason is I tried multiple methods to include unit icons in the maps of Aresia, but the end result always seems more cluttered than anything else. Here's an example:

    Without unit icons:

    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    Still pecking away on Midnight Rising and Feathered Hearts...

    The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    Still working on Midnight Rising...

    At the rate of about 800-1000 words a day. That’s my key to getting stuff done that’s causing you issues; just be sure you put at least a little time in on it this day to have some forward momentum. The two chapters are now up to 24,100 words. I’ll work on it more this weekend, at least around continuing work around the maps and battle graphics I’m making for Feathered Hearts.

    Did two things this past weekend...

    First, I ran 10k for the first time in two months after laying off that long to let my ankle bursitis subside, trying to allow the area to generally heal up. It appears that it worked. To my delight, there was no ankle pain after and I hadn’t even lost much stamina thanks to hitting an elliptical machine twice a week for an hour instead of jogging. My upper legs are another matter, though.

Five Star Service Chapter 25 will post Friday or Saturday... · 2:37pm Feb 9th, 2017

Only awaiting final preread of the chapter draft. The next-to-last article in the series goes into the formation and initial staff hires at G4M as a prelude to the hiring of gentlemen themselves, which will be told in the final article. And that final article will be double-length, one last tale of sexiness... telling the story of a very special gentleman; the very first Five Stars ever recruited, in fact. Who is he? You'll find out, but there's a hint given here. All I'll say for now is that this was inspired by some comment questions a few chapters back.

Be looking for the new chapter soon! But to whet your appetite... here's a preview:


Once again, my congratulations to you both, Hot Topic! I’m definitely looking forward to the wedding next summer, and I’m truly honored by your request for me to be a bridesmaid along with his handler and other trainers. I also hear he’s already selected his own ‘best man’ and ‘groomsmen’ for the occasion among his Gentleman and stallion friends.

One interesting side effect of these articles is that for all the anger we’ve received from jilted stallions, we’ve actually had a few stallions start coming to us asking for training in becoming better lovers for their marefriends and herdmates! That is particularly gratifying to me, as I have said that one of my goals was to make stallions not take their mares for granted and realize that there’s more to rutting than, well, rutting. It would seem some have actually taken that to heart, and are actively trying!

It’s funny, actually… I seem to recall that in the last Q&A session, a human question writer asked if such training would be made available, and the answer is now yes--it’s starting to become a bit of a side business for us; we now have a few stallions sitting in on our classes! And do they get training? They have to pay for it, but yes, they may. Which, by the way, is a very interesting reversal--stallions paying for mares to have sex with them? Who would have thought such a thing would ever be?

I did complete my duties at the new branch office. As it’s now attracted its own motley group of protestors, it would appear the secret’s out, so there’s no point in me not saying it’s in Hoofington, an industrial city on the edge of the Everfree. I consider it a mark of our success in that even places that aren’t large cities or entertainment centers can support a G4M branch office, and I visited for what was actually the second time in several months in order to give our Gentleman a few final lessons as well as their final exams… though this time I had to take my bodyguards with me. To this point, they haven’t had to intervene directly to protect me, as just the sight of two large and intimidating griffins tends to keep trouble at bay.

Still, as I was down there, I couldn’t help but reflect that these few men together with a ‘handful’ of secretaries, trainers and security staff were all that we originally started with in Manehattan too. Our beginnings were even more humble there, in fact, given that we didn’t have any existing experience or established procedures to draw upon, and if I said I thought then we’d take off the way we have, I’d be lying. Back then, the struggle was just to get G4M off the ground with nothing more than myself and Platinum’s business plan. We had to learn as we go, and believe me, we made more than a few mistakes along the way...


See you soon!

Gotta admit, I didn't see your choice coming.

You just know that last scene is going to be epic! :pinkiehappy:

Looking forward to the update!

My one regret is that I just can't think of anything to ask for the Q&A thing...
