Sorry for the delay, folks. The reason is that I have some additional enhancements requested by the commissioner, who has to approve them—after I’ve finished them, that is, though it shouldn’t be much longer. At this point, expect something north of 12.5k words, meaning you’ll be getting a very juicy double-decker burger of a chapter with the first half dedicated to finishing Twilight/Midnight’s transformation. Expect it to happen in suitably sensual fashion, with two new fetishes

Getting up for work this morning was a bit rough, even three days after my return from Vegas and the three-hour time difference from there to here.

It’s back to work for me both at the office and writing Firefly. But only after finishing a busy week that included surgery and convalescence (which involved a lot of bloody tissues), a slew of occasionally expensive chores like installing a new toilet and buying some new clothes, and working tirelessly on Harmonic Resonance.

Hello, folks. To borrow the iconic phrase from The Hangover:

Let’s start with some good news. AJ_Aficionado is now a week-plus removed from his procedure, which basically kinks his lower esophagus like a spiral sink trap right above the stomach to prevent acid backwash. He reports he has some minor reflux after surgery, which is said to be normal and should disappear with time along with the post-operative pain. He went home at least briefly, but is staying with family for at least as long as he needs to remain on a liquid diet.

It seems I have another issue to address.

I have to admit, I’m regretting doing the griffon arc right now. For as much fun as it was for me to write, it should have been a side story given how much of a distraction it turned into. And even those who liked it continue to complain about even the revamped ending, wanting the dragons to have won.

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 to skip over them when they come and then write the current chapter to catch anybody who does skip

The next chapter of Nightmare Night is well underway and currently coming at a slow to moderate clip. I've got 6100 words down so far and as these are the story's climactic chapters, there's a good chance that this will double that length before all is said and done. I think now that the entirity of the Sunset/Twilight duel will be done in one chapter as opposed to two, though.

Hey guys, sorry for the recurring delays, but I'm happy to report that my new computer is up and running, playing games like a dream. Here's what my upgraded work station looks like:

And I do believe I am at this point, as I fear I've taken on too many writing assignments. By actual count, I have no less than six projects in play, listed here in rough order of priority:

1. Rewrite of Unleash the Magic: Midnight Rising
2. Update and Continuation of Feathered Heart
3. Continuing third book of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly
4. Finishing Unleash the Magic: Nightmare Night

Hey, folks. Just a quick note (okay, not-so-quick) to let everyone know that the next chapter of Midnight Rising launches this evening, following one more editing pass. Prereader response is generally good so far, though I’m still waiting on two at this point. And I’m already 8000 words into my next writing assignment, which is a new chapter of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles.

Now that the release of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles is in the books, it's time to turn my attention back to the Unleash the Magic series. And yet, even though they involve entirely different themes and verses (and ratings!) working on Feathered Hearts gave me a very tempting idea for both Midnight Rising and Nightmare Night; a thread that

I’m forced to break one chapter into two, because it got too big. The next Feathered Hearts chapter was already well over 17k words and probably on its way to 20k, which is a lot more than I typically allow in a single entry. It also had a natural breakpoint mid-chapter, so I elected to make use of it. This means you will be getting not one, but two new Feathered Hearts chapters in short order, each around 10.5k words each.

Though after the intense writing effort I put into the latest entry of Eros—I put a ton of work in on it, so if you read it, please comment, folks! —I’ll probably wait a day or two before starting the new chapter of Nightmare Night to try to recharge mentally.

And I thank my prereaders profusely, including most especially AJ_Aficionado, for pointing out a couple glaring issues I had to address. As I have now done so, and the chapter has received a resounding stamp of approval from AJA and others, I’m going to launch it tonight instead of tomorrow. Happy Halloween, folks! 🎃 Hopefully this will be both a trick and a treat.

The latest chapter release of Five Star Service was, by most measures, a success. It featured for a couple hours for the first time in perhaps a dozen chapters, and gained nine faves for it. However, it also picked up three downvotes, which never happened on a single chapter save the first. That's the problem with featuring; it gets your more notice but you risk more downvotes as well... and downvotes tend to affect your story rating much more than upvotes.

The next chapter of Nightmare Night now stands at 6500 words, with four completed sections and two half-finished ones. The latter, to little surprise, are the CMC scenes. They were coming along agonizingly slowly until I found the proper angle for them. Like Rarity, they needed proper treatment that respected their characters and even let them shine. Is that possible here? Based on what I came up with, yes! But no spoilers there.

I have two releases targeted for September. One is a second chapter of Midnight Rising. The other, Feathered Hearts fans will be happy to know, is a fresh chapter of Continuation and Chronicles. Feels about time to write it.

Haven’t given an update on Eros in a while. The short of it is that I did resume work on the new chapter over the past few days to the tune of getting it up to nearly 4,000 words, but was only able to write it in fits and starts given I’m still recovering from this illness.

Not a bad showing for a story that breaks the rules of most successful Fimfiction clopfics, for a) not being about the Mane 6, b) not involving ponies, and c) not being a second-person, anon-based futa or anthro fic; never mind the fact that I was borrowing another author’s story and characters for its basis. Then again, I already did that in Five Star Service and The Lawyer and The Unicorn, which were also quite successful over time, so that’s a good or bad habit of mine
