    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.

It just keeps growing and growing and growing... · 8:59pm Mar 6th, 2023

No, not Marco’s spear thanks to the fertility-potion-spiked cider poisoning. I mean the latest chapter of Continuation and Chronicles.

Even after working on it most of the weekend, it’s now well over 17.4k words long and still growing. Normally I would break it up when it gets that big, and I may still. But for now, we’re going to see how long this gets. Assuming I decide not to split it, it’s possible you’re going to end up with a chapter well over 20k words when all is said and done.

As for why it’s getting to be so long, it’s just that there’s an awful lot I’m trying to do with this. Yes, there’s the clop, but there’s also a ton of worldbuilding and character introductions I want to include. With regards to the latter, expect a bit of an info dump regarding the Changelings as you learn something about their societal structure, military service branches (which readers of Firefly should recognize), an evolved form that even regular Changeling drones can gain with enough love (and no, I’m not talking about the pastel-hued hippies we eventually saw in the show), and even get to witness some of their abilities (both sensual and not) up close and personal.

And of course, that’s to say nothing of the confrontation between Gilda and Tribune Cipio, which will have a surprising M-rated ending (no, I am not going to make the two have sex—it doesn’t involve Gilda except as an observer.) So what’s that about? Let’s just say that you really don’t want to offend the Queen when she already knows you quite well and decides to make a point.

Like I said, it’s possible at this point that I’m still going to break it up, but I haven’t decided on that yet. If I do, the second scene will probably be shunted to the following chapter, but I’m still inclined to keep it here. That way, it’s just one M-rated chapter to worry about and make a separate T-rated version of, not two. In any event, you can definitely expect a battle in this coming chapter, but it’s going to be one of wits rather than arms.

A teaser? Eventually, but I’ll ask for a couple additional days on that to get this thing more finished and smoothed out. Look for one around midweek. I’ll aim for a weekend release of the new chapter, and after that? It’s Eros time.

Please not to huge chapters. Why?
- I want already a chapter :raritydespair:
- I like to have more chapters to comment to :raritywink:
- Proofreading is easyer in my opinion that way :duck:
- Why a teaser if you can give us a 5000-7000 word chapters? :trixieshiftright:
- I make mine around 2000-3000-4000 ish big...
- I have completed chapters ready for publication, yet it is in my humble opinion that you should keep something back to not stress yourself out.
That said... Update? :fluttercry:

All of this sex and my libido is the highest it's been in a while despite recovering from significant surgery. Bring it on!
