    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.

    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

What's ahead · 4:58pm Apr 12th, 2017

I'm currently working on a new Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare chapter for Raven that is the story climax and may well be the story ending. The rewrite has been going off and in for well over a year now and it's time to conclude it. Those of you curious to see how pony strength, weather control and magic would do against modern human weapons and how the Mane 6 would react to an invasion of Ponyville by well-armed Russian Ultranationalists ala Modern Warfare are invited to read.

Hint: they kick ass in due course and there are some callouts to Rise of Firefly as well. Yeah, it's a crackfic crossover but I've done my best to make it work.

After that? As promised, I'm returning to finish off The Lawyer and the Unicorn, alternating it with chapters of Firefly. Speaking of the latter, to answer a question posed by the last chapter, it has been decided that the story will be marked complete after these final interludes and then resume with a new story; part two of a trilogy. The new story will be linked at the ending of the final chapter of the old one so you don't have to worry about missing it.

Why am I doing this? Because I think the length of this story has become daunting for new readers as it's now novel length and if I ever published this as actual books, that would be the natural breakpoint between one novel to the next. My hope is by launching a fresh story right into the war, the overall story will get a boost of new interest as it's been getting progressively harder to attract new readers and reach the 200-like mark.

And there you have it. I'm also sorry I've been somewhat unavailable online but I've been rather moody lately for reasons I won't go into now. Just be assured I'm still alive and kicking... and writing. TLaTU will be finished within a couple months and conclude... suitably :coolphoto:.

I'm quite looking forward to the conclusion of Firefly Part 1 and the launch of Part 2. I hope you get a boost with the new story as Firefly is deserving of more readers who are currently missing out.

Thanks for answering my question about the breakup up of the stories. I'll be sure to keep in eye out for the next part.

Moody? Something wrong?
