    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.

    C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

    Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

    Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

    But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

New M-rated story from AJ_Aficionado... · 1:28pm Oct 2nd, 2016

... Though he could also be called the RLV_Aficionado, as he's got a definite soft spot for the flower trio's Roseluck & Lily Valley! His latest offering is Foolers Rush In, a loose sequel of the Unleash the Magic-esque Fertile Ground, in which Roseluck decides it's time to break the shy and stallion-averse Lily out of her shell by taking her to a filly bar. Only the first chapter is written thus far, but with cider flowing freely, a pub full of experienced fillyfoolers and Roseluck in some ways as repressed as Lily, I'm certain you can guess the various M-rated mare-on-mare shenanigans that will ensue! :pinkiegasp:

I enjoyed editing it and I'll vouch for it. AJA's been a very good friend and prereader over the last couple years, and his comment longposts have always been a favorite of mine. Those take a lot of time and effort to do, but he always makes it a point to give one to me on my chapters no matter which story it's on. So if you're into fillyfooling with sides of plot and worldbuilding, give his latest a read and some love! He's got decent stuff but doesn't get the attention he deserves. You can find Foolers Rush In and his other works here: http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=category&user=196773

And oh yes... there will be a bonus chapter posted for Unleash the Magic within a month! :rainbowwild:

And what about Firefly? The wait is killing me.

4237091

I have promises to keep, including writing two new chapters of Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare for Raven Regios and cleaning up the previous chapters a bit first. Sorry, I want to get back on that story as well, but other things have to happen first.

In truth, I'm also frustrated with the pace of new readers for it. I'm waiting on a review from the Pleasant Commentators group, and hoping that might get me a few new ones.

4237091 Argggh! That face!


4237102 I'm frustrated with the reception Firefly has gotten too. Criminally underappreciated.

Love the RLV Aficionado joke. I've always just sort of been fascinated with the idea of Roseluck and Lily together. I took my queues on Lily's character from an obscure ask blog and started construction on top of it. The idea of Lily being small, socially awkward, and having a relationship with Rose were all taken from there. I'll admit that some of Lily's character is self-insert in the sense of being able to relate with how confusing and frustrating interacting with others can and how burned out one can get through constant failure in that regard.

I have a lot more fun writing Roseluck because she's so completely unlike me, but Lily Valley is far and away my most respected character based on feedback. I guess a lot of us know that feel!

Thanks for the promotion! :heart:
