    Midnight Rising update; Feathered Hearts C&C teaser...

    Hey, folks. Here’s my weekly writing update. I’m tagging this as C&C since that’s what the teaser below is about, but the blog is about both it and Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising.

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

    Still waiting on Midnight Rising prereads...

    Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.

    Mind changed on removing the griffon arc from Midnight Rising + teaser

    After receiving pleas from multiple readers to keep the Enter the Griffon chapters in place, I have decided to do so and go with my original plan, which was to simply offer new readers the chance

    One final thing...

    I have been advised by no less an authority than CHS acting Vice-Principal Ms. Cheerilee to use the upcoming Midnight Rising chapter as strictly a recap to relaunch the story, and not get into Lemon Zest until the following chapter, when I can devote a full entry to it without any split in focus. No, really. She did. You’ll see what I mean when the chapter launches, but basically, I’m

The first twelve chapters of Turnabout Storm have been updated... · 1:46pm Jan 30th, 2018

Everything through the end of the first day of trial (part 12) has been completely revamped. The chapters have been carefully edited and expanded to include additional detail and dialogue, and use a lighter touch on the early shipping. I also dramatically cut back on overuse of Lavender Unicorn Syndrome (or Violet Unicorn Syndrome in this case--it really made me grimace rereading this how often I did it back then), fixed some of the more stilted lines, added a few additional Ace Attorney game references, and even put in new evidence graphics borrowed directly from the videos. Last but not least, I added a few things that reference events that happen later in the story or even TLaTU.

Feel free to check out the changes, and I would like to know what folks think. I'm down with the flu right now, so I wouldn't mind a few comments while I'm convalescing.

woah holy shit. I had it in read later, so I guess the first time I've read it will be the revamped.

Well, it's going to take me a while to completely go through the story to edit everything--many months, in fact, given the sheer number of words and chapters--but if you want to start now with the first 12 chapters, feel free. I wouldn't mind hearing the opinion of someone coming in cold to the updated version of how they like it.
