But Feathered Hearts - Eros is on deck, as it’s the most overdue of all my active stories for a new chapter.
It seems to have come together rather nicely in the end, settling in at not far under 12k words with more likely to be added before it goes live. I think with this one, readers will like the coda as much as the main action, and there’s a good measure of side action in here as well that might set the stage for future bonus material. At this point, it’s waiting for feedback from the commissioner and my prereading team. Best guess for launch is Tuesday or Wednesday night, depending on how fast I
After a full year away. Sorry, folks, but so many other things had my attention and priority before this. The ending of the story has to wait for Midnight Rising to be finished in order to properly set up the climax, but there’s room for at least one and possibly two more intermediate chapters in the meantime.
With two chapters of Midnight Rising released along with two M-rated chapters of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles this month, all that leaves is the final thing I promised—a new chapter of Nightmare Night. I said I’d have one out in time for Halloween, and having worked on it steadily all week, I’m pleased to say it will be ready, launching Monday (Halloween) night.
Well, folks, after a very successful release of all my previously unpostable Feathered Heart chapters—five new likes! —there is one last order of business for me to finish before I shift over to Unleash the Magic for the next six weeks, and that’s the promised next chapter of Feathered Hearts.
The nice thing about working for a bank is bank holidays, of which President’s Day is one. So I’m off today, and I figured I’d give folks an overdue update on the new chapter of Midnight Rising.
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
To make a long story short, I continue to get slowly better while the new Eros chapter is at 8300 words and being written only incrementally. Its likely size is 12k or more words before all is said and done, with probably another week before it's draft complete. For the record, that's longer than I usually make clop chapters, unless they're climactic ones—in the story sense, not the sexual one. But as it happens, we're approaching the climax here, of both the story arc and the
To all new readers of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles! The latest chapter featured, netting the story a slew of additional upvotes and tracks. And a downvote, but that's the curse of featuring—greater story visibility means greater opportunity for disapproval. They may sting a bit, but I care more about getting new readership than an occasional thumbs-down.
I’m currently turning the first half of Feathered Heart Chapter 4 into a brand new chapter, fleshing it out with a great deal of new content, especially at the start. It should be available within the next day or so, tipping the scales at over 11k words.
First, I have a new Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles chapter in prereads, but even when the edits are in, I’m not going to release it yet. I promised before that I would not release more until I got the story written to the start of the Cloven War, at which point I’ll release the chapters in rapid-fire, one per day or every other day. I expect that to happen by Christmas if not sooner. Consider it my Xmas gift to readers, if so.
And not helping is the fact I had a recent health scare I'm still recovering from.
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.
Though I’d hoped to have it draft complete by the previous weekend, the final ascension chapter of Harmonic Resonance is coming quite slowly, for the reason stated in the title. I’m only 5k words into it even after a week-plus, and I rather suspect that’s going to end up being less than half the size of what’s probably going to end up being a 12k-word chapter.
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.
Harmonic Resonance Chapter 7 - Twilight Part 1/2 will launch on Sunday morning, likely weighing in at around 10.5k words. For all the trouble it gave me, it seems to have come together pretty well in the end as I’m more or less satisfied with it. I’m just waiting for word from the commissioner and a couple prereaders.
... In the form of a new Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles chapter which has just been sent off to prereaders. So get ready to ring in the new year with the start of a new story arc that picks up after the events described in the latest chapter of Eros. It’s back to business—mostly—but the new chapter will recap events in the Eros arc (including the as-yet unreleased chapters there) and start laying the groundwork for the next phase of the story, which will
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.
