    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.

A successful C&C release, but... · 7:15pm May 8th, 2023

At this point, I’m strongly considering releasing a T-rated version of the chapter since after rereading it a couple times, I’m thinking it got a bit too R-rated for non-clop readers in a couple places. If so, you’ll see it posted in the next few days.

In any event, I’m going to proceed directly into C&C chapter 36 at this point, since I already have so much of it written. My thinking is that I owe it to readers to at least finish off the mini Gilda/Cipio story arc before moving onto something else. I won’t give an estimate on how long it will take except to say that’s as it’s going to be heavily M-rated (for obvious reasons), that tends to take me more time than a non-clop chapter. Don’t worry; it will very definitely get a T-rated treatment as well.

I’ll be starting into it in earnest this week, hopefully aided by a couple days off I’m planning to take in the next week or two. That software release that’s been bedeviling me for the past month did go out this past weekend but had to be rolled back because one of the production test cases failed. Doesn’t look right now like the problem is in our software, but the other end of what it sends out, so hopefully I won’t have to work on it more than minimally.

Also starting to think about a real vacation starting on Memorial Day—the last weekend in May. Can’t come here fast enough at this rate. Going forward, I have plans to work on Unleash the Magic and Eros as I take what’s likely to be a significant break from C&C. As I’ve posted four new chapters and 60k words since Christmas with a fifth chapter coming, you’ll understand that I need to step away from it for a bit.

That sounds alright. I hope you finally have time to relax a little. I think you have done a pretty good with C&C (Can't help but feel like we are speaking about Command & Conquer :rainbowwild:)at the moment and you should probably try and take a break from griffons & undead spider armies .

I think it's perfectly fine as it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty sure you not really own us anything, but we are very thankful for all your efforts ♡

Looking forward to future stuff when it is updated time. Magnificent work ♡

Ha! There totally needs to be Gryphon Kingdom and Cloven mods for the Red Alert 2 and Tiberian War engines. And Gryphon Empire/Firefly-era Equestria ones as well.

Appreciate the concern, and yeah, I do need to get back to my other stuff. But I also feel I owe readers the ending of this little story arc.

Thanks, but not everybody goes for clop. Just trying to keep the readers who don’t like it happy.

Thanks for saying so. :pinkiesmile: It’s always nice to hear some acknowledgment of them.

Looking forward to future stuff when it is updated time. Magnificent work ♡

Looking forward to more of your comments! :heart: I’ll let you know when the updates are coming.
