    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

    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,

New M-rated Story by AJ_Aficionado... · 6:56pm Jul 24th, 2021

For the Summer Sin Celebration. For those of you unfamiliar with it, participating in it means you’re basically part of a story exchange; given an assignment to write someone else’s story request and keep it of limited length. This was the result of AJA’s assignment:

[Adult story embed hidden]

Yes, it’s foalcon (as was desired by the requester he drew), and no, I don’t personally have an issue with that--I wouldn’t have edited the story otherwise. :twilightsmile: It’s well-written, and AJA did superbly with the story parameters he was given and the limited word count he had.

This was a change of pace for him, and he not only pulled it off nicely, but he was even willing to put his name on it despite the negative attention it was certain to garner--the downvotes on it are just a reflection of the subject matter and no measure of its actual quality. If you like the topic, I won’t judge. If you don’t, that’s fine too--as long as you don’t turn it into some great moral crusade, which I’ve seen a little too much of in certain comment sections of late. :ajbemused:

And for those wondering when I’ll be back to writing M-rated content myself... probably not until September, when I’ll finish another Firefly chapter in time for its four-year anniversary (whoa! :pinkiegasp:) and have gotten further on Feathered Hearts as well. The other issue is that I’m back to being low-T right now--quite literally, as the last round of testosterone pellets I got implanted in March have completely dissolved. It’ll be two weeks until my next set is implanted, and then two more weeks for it to fully kick in. Then I’ll feel like a randy teen again and probably just start plowing through Midnight Rising and Nightmare Night in the leadup to Halloween once more!

In the meantime, enjoy AJA’s latest if you like, and be looking forward to more Feathered Hearts from me next--and don’t worry; I haven’t forgotten about the side story there, either!

I appreciate the blog, Firesight. I loved some of those edits you added in there. I'd never ask for you to do this blog for me given how admittedly controversial the story is (Sweetie Belle is pre-teen by request) but you did it anyway. I'm glad you got my back, Sensei.

I'm not sure what it says that my story featured. It made it to 15/1 before the outrage mob showed up but I would really like to believe that someone out there saw something to like about the story itself: The prose, the characterization, the scenario, the slick editing, just something. For what it's worth, you and all my prereaders did enjoy it and so I'm going to try my best not to dwell on the absolute shitshow that is my comments section.

Thank you!

Two stories featured in a row now! Just be sure your head doesn't get TOO big :ajsmug:

Oh, I'm not going to get too cocky over this one. Not with this ratio.

I do hope if you read it, you'll leave a comment about the story itself instead of generic support/rejection of foalcon. You would be the first.

Okay, that's not entirely true. Firesight DID leave actual, useable feedback.

*looks at ratio*

Hoes clearly mad.

I''m glad to see that you are going to work on Midnight Rising and Nightmare Night again after the anniversary of Firefly.

They always are over foalcon. :trixieshiftright: Basically downvoting it for subject alone, which I never respect, on the grounds that you’re somehow promoting all sorts of nefarious things.
