    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,

Five Star Service - Final Q&A posts tonight! · 5:36pm Mar 31st, 2017

All prereads are in, and four different Gentlemanverse authors contributed multiple sections. It's coming in at over 13k words, which seems appropriately large for the story's grand finale. Just a couple minor things to take care of and it'll be ready to go... including my setting up a Patreon account.

Yep. You heard right. For as much work as I've put into to these and my other stories, I've decided I'd like to see if I can get at least a little money for them. From here on out, whenever I finish a well-received story, I'll invite donations. Just optional tokens of appreciation. It can be whatever you like, but even a buck or two (or whatever currency you use) is welcome. Account information will be posted with the final chapter.

Regardless, after a three-and-a-half year journey, thirty chapters and nearly 225,000 words, Five Star Service will be marked complete. It's been a hell of a ride, and I'll have plenty of thanks to give from everyone who's ever preread for me to the father of the verse, Demon Eyes Laharl himself for his approval and occasional contribution of his own. I've done my best and occasional worst to tell a compelling tale of Five Stars, incorporating all the lore of the Gentlemanverse in the process, and I'm very pleased with how the story turned out.

I'll have more to say in the Author's Notes, but needless to say, thanks for sticking with the story all this way and enjoy the final chapter of my very first entry on Fimfiction!
