Merry Christmas, all!

My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in

Nothing this year, sorry

Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something

More burned out than I thought

Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.
Shocking, I know.

Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though

It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?
Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

(^† It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

What the hell, me? What. The. Hell.

It's been... a little over twenty-four hours since I declared that I had hit the 5k word mark on chapter twelve. Now? I'm looking at 8k and wondering where they all came from. I'm honestly clueless. It's not the OCs, because I've done that before. It's not the brevity or the subject matter. I just don't know what went... right.

That said... I am so very glad that the last few chapters have been almost solid comedy (Not counting, uhh, you know, Celestia) because if this one comes across half as strongly reading it as it's been writing it, it's is going to be a pretty rough ride.

Since i really like your brand of comedy, i'm also very glad that the last few chapters have been very comedic.
One thing i thought about on the fly though that i had been meaning to ask about in the story comments:
What's with the "big" words? for example:

“but still, I’m not some kind of unstable concoction that could go exothermic at any moment.”

wouldn't it be easier to just say "explode" or similar? this is not the only case, if it was i would have chalked it up to merely being there because twilight would use them.

Some of it might be a case of thesaurus-soup, though I try to be very mindful of that. Situations like the one you quoted are very much because Twilight is Twilight, though
