I'm not a writer, so output is slow. But it has been judged adequate, so that's good for something, eh? ;)

    Just in case it's not clear, I don't have editors or pre-readers or anything like that. So I am posting the chapters after I write them, with just the first pass review done.

    Not forgotten

    I've not forgotten you. Next update is half done. ;)

    Unfortunately this story wasn't voted to top of my todo list, so I'm just working on it when I need distraction ;)

    Apologies for lack of updates

    I have had a hard time fitting writing into my schedule.

    But, I took a vacation block next month, and it's my goal to use most of that time to sit in a coffee shop and write bad MLP fanfic. Wish me luck! ;)

    Finding time

    The challenge has been actually finding time to write - sorry about that. ;) Will get back to it soon.

    No promises of velocity...

    Here's the first chapter. I don't expect this story to be anywhere near the length of the first one, but maybe. I see it as a series of shorter stories. The important bit is unlike the first book, all the major plot points of this one are written down.

    No promises on speed, but hey, comments are motivating ;)

Writing Output Style · 8:40am Aug 23rd, 2023

Just in case it's not clear, I don't have editors or pre-readers or anything like that. So I am posting the chapters after I write them, with just the first pass review done.

As time goes on, I frequently re-read the older chapters to ensure I'm staying more or less on course. During these re-reads I will often correct errors or clarify text to make it a little more readable... so you can treat the initial posting as a rough draft which will be enhanced as time goes on.

After the story is complete, I'll re-read the entire thing a couple of times with some spacing in between, to make any corrections that make sense. Only after I've done that do I really consider it the output version.

In the past, my stories have been "reviewed" based on the draft copies. That's fine, of course, I don't have a timeline by which I say they are done. But do be aware of that.

Anyway, Night Reigns 2 is actually planned, which none of the earlier ones were. If the plan continues, it's only got 5-6 more chapters, although that may grow as the action starts to pick up (my gut says more like 10). It was always going to be much shorter than the first one, with a goal of actually being able to finish it, hehe. It hasn't got a lot of attention yet, but hopefully once I hit the action bits it'll catch a few more eyeballs.

Thanks to your eyeballs for the time invested! :)
