    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.

    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.

Independence for Turnabout Storm! · 4:14pm Sep 5th, 2019

In a manner of speaking as its number of likes just reached 1776, the same number as the year of American Independance! I'd like to thank yet again everyone who read, enjoyed, or commented on the novelization, as well as the original author, Chrome Regios, who took on this Herculean task to begin with and churned out the first 42 chapters. The stories this work has spawned live on as well, in the form of the The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and the Firefly series. And of course, let's not neglect the author of the original video series, NeoArtimus, who started this whole thing with an all-time classic crossover and ended up inspiring so many other stories, including four of my own works, in the process.

Plans going forward? I keep saying I want to give TLaTU the same editing pass that TAS had, and James Cyberlink has already started into it. Unfortunately, my motivation to do so remains low at the moment, as other writing projects like Firefly and Nightmare Night still take precedence, as does my long-languishing second novel. Nevertheless, I will try to at least start it in the next couple weeks. And no, I haven't forgotten about a promised sequel, but at this point, with so much other stuff to do, I think I'm more waiting to see where the new online series goes first to see if it's usable for the purpose.

I do have at least one new story for those interested who haven't already heard: After seeing the HBO series Chernobyl, I was inspired to create a story where Celestia and an initially ignorant Twilight visit the place in the modern day, with the former presenting it as a mystery to be solved without initially explaining what happened there or why she wants Twilight to see it. It takes place in the Phoenixverse, which is what I'm calling the verse with Turnabout Storm, Firefly and TLaTU, giving teacher and student a reason to be on Earth. It's been well-received, and at just 15k words can be devoured fairly quickly. So if you're interested, here it is:

Last but not least, I also ask again for donations to the original Turnabout Storm story author, Chrome Regios, along with her new family. They've fallen on hard times on the Philippines, and they could use some financial aid. A credit card is all you need to donate, and even a few bucks goes a long way over there given the exchange rates. I've made the initial donation myself.

I wouldn't ask this unless their need was real, folks, so thanks in advance.
