    Feathered Hearts C&C chapter 40 will launch tonight

    I apologize for the long delay. The chapter draft was submitted to prereaders a month ago and well-received, but the graphics have taken me a while and several false starts. The main reason is I tried multiple methods to include unit icons in the maps of Aresia, but the end result always seems more cluttered than anything else. Here's an example:

    Without unit icons:

    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.

Work on Firefly resumes soon · 4:11pm Mar 2nd, 2020

I believe that is something that everyone, including my prereaders, have wanted to hear for a while. I have about 1000 words of new content already written, and this next chapter will be critical, not so much for its ending scene (which I intend to be epic) but for getting there properly and building tension for it. I promised everyone an answer as to who the biggest badass in the Equestrian military was, and you're going to get it in a scene I've been planning for some time.

Depending on how big it gets, there's a chance I'll have to break it up into two chapters and reserve the big scene for the second one, but regardless, I intend to release at least one new chapter of Best Warfic (no, I'm not humble about it) before we hit April.

For those of you unaware, the reason I haven't been writing in this story is because I thought I'd spent enough time in it last year and I owed my only other active story, Nightmare Night, some serious love. It's nearing it's climax--pun very much intended, given the subject matter--but after one or two more short (~3k wordish) chapters for its new side story, I'll put that on hiatus at least long enough to write at least two more Firefly chapters, with possible guest author chapters as well. As always, stay tuned for teasers and more info as I get deeper into it.

We all know that the biggest isn't technically in the military, but I'll be curious who the official #1 is.

:trollestia: That may or may not be correct faithful reader, I am indeed the tallest pony.

Because I’ve learned over the years it’s not that easy. Because muses are fickle things and I found that mine wanted to work on Nightmare Night for a long stretch there. And because I’ve noticed in the past if I keep alternating back and forth between stories, I have to shift mental gears repeatedly, resulting in losing focus and not performing as well on either story.

It hasn’t always happened that way, but often enough for me to take notice.

Do we? :raritywink: But yes, Celly wins the tallest pony contest, hooves and horn down.

Glad to hear it! The suspense has been killing me, and I'll definitely be interested in more details on power hierarchy.
