    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,

    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.

TLaTU and Midnight Rising Bonus chapters offered for Patreon donations! · 4:30pm Mar 29th, 2018

For readers of The Lawyer and the Unicorn and Unleash the Magic: Midnight Rising, I've set up a series of goals on my Patreon account, offering omakes/bonus chapters to existing adult stories of mine:


Goal #1: $100

For those of you who enjoyed The Lawyer and The Unicorn, I offer up the following omake: the untold Pinkamena/Phoenix scene that would have occurred between parts 37 and 38. It will be written and posted as either a standalone story or TLaTU bonus chapter upon donation goal being reached!

Goal #2: $250

For those of who enjoyed The Lawyer and The Unicorn, I will offer up a second omake: the eventual result of the lost bet between Phoenix and Twilight, which is rule 63 Phoenix x Mane 6. It will be written and posted as either a standalone story or TLaTU upon donation goal being reached!

Goal #3: $500

A series of three bonus chapters or omake for Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising describing the untold story of Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna, and Dean Cadance... during the events of Midnight Rising!

Goal #4: $1000

The long-awaited Chrysalis/Shadowbolts-based sequel to Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising will be written!


Other goals will be offered as the first ones are met, but let's see how these do first. I honestly have no idea how realistic these numbers are, but I'm going to give them a chance, anyway. Note that for now, my existing unfinished stories (Into the Storm and Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night) will still be written for free.

So why am I now offering additional material to these stories for Patreon donations? Well, because after giving the fimfiction community five years and 1.2 million free words in my stories, never mind the editing efforts I've made on others, I think I've earned it. I think I'm good enough to write professionally and it's time for me to see if I can turn this into any sort of money-making sidelight. So if you've enjoyed my stories and would like to see more based on my completed ones, please donate.

If I could tag two stories in this, I would, but site rules won't allow that. So this blog will be posted twice; once for TLaTU readers and once for UtM readers. If you've enjoyed my works over these past few years, please show some appreciation and hit the proverbial tip jar. When I'm enjoying them, these stories do take a lot of time and effort!

Ah, what a time to be a broke college student.

Hey, as far as I’m concerned, you’ve paid me handsomely in longpost comments.

True, but if I could contribute in ACTUAL cash to see those written, and generally to help someone whose work I greatly enjoy, I would. Doesn't help that even if I wasn't broke, I'm somewhat paranoid about spending cash online.
