My job is interfering, as well as worries over a couple troubled friends. The chapter is currently sitting at 11,326 words with at least 2-3k words more to go, meaning I was only able to put around 1800 words on it over the past week.
Got it up over 8500 words now, with probably another 5-6k to go. Yep, gonna be another big one, like all the griffon chapters. Among (many) other things, I’m taking pains to touch on everybody else present so you can get an update on what’s going on with them, including the Shadowbolt girls and our illustrious school heads.
And since I mentioned that I’d be using a new narrative device in an earlier blog, I’ll give you a sneak preview of it, told (as always) through Sunset’s point of view:
Prereader, apprentice, and partner in crime AJ_Aficionado entered the Summer Sin Celebration M-rated story contest with a story that met parameters desired by a random fimfiction user. It was preread and heavily edited/added to in places by yours truly, who greatly enjoyed doing so:

For two reasons. First, work is picking up again, and it may stay that way through August as we have an important September deadline for my team to hit. Second, I found I needed an extended break from writing after the last two Eros chapters for all the effort I put into them. Needed to mentally rest and emotionally recharge from it before starting something new.
A warm welcome to any and all new Feathered Hearts readers, folks, whether you read Eros or just Continuation and Chronicles. I hate calling those two latest Eros chapters an ordeal, but they were at times simply for much I was trying to do and how much I wanted to include, both in terms of sex and worldbuilding. It took over a month to write what ended up being all 25,000 words, though it seems to have turned out well in the end.
It’s with prereaders now, weighing in at 14k words. Unfortunately, it turned out I couldn’t put in everything I wanted to without the chapter length approaching around 25k words, which is way too much for a clopfic IMO. But I found a convenient breakpoint (which, me being me, means another cliffhanger!) So there will be one more chapter to close out the griffie goodness of the story and complete the setup for the climax of Nightmare Night.
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.
And at long last, after a month-plus of low testosterone and being sick twice, I feel fully ready to tackle it and write some serious clop. I intend this to be the last (major) chapter of the Griffon Kingdom story arc, though some scattered action will continue there even after it.
So I can get more prereads completed and get another editing pass in. Sorry to make you wait, folks. But trust me—it’ll be worth it. Chapter will now launch on Thursday evening after I’m back from work.
And be warned that the second part of the Enter the Griffons story arc is going to be even crazier than the first.
Even so, it will not conclude it; there will be a third chapter in the arc as the length of the current one has already reached 15k words with still more to come. No teaser since there’s very little in there that I could sanitize enough to excerpt, but expect everything the first offered and then some.
With a new chapter of Midnight Rising and the first M-rated entry of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles done—and I'm pretty sure the former influenced the latter given the ending scene I wrote for C&C!—my erotic writing efforts of October continue with a second Midnight Rising chapter.
Titled Enter the Griffons—yes, it’s a shameless double-entendre—it’s going to easily be the longest chapter yet in the story, checking in at a very healthy 14,000 words and crammed full of more M-rated action than you can shake a stick or a griffon spear at. It’s already well-over my usual clopfic chapter length, and yet I keep adding to it. You’ll also see some references to Firefly and Feathered Hearts along the way, even aside from FH’s favorite birdie boi being present.
It’s going to be draft complete by tonight at what I'm guessing will be somewhere around 11k words, at which point it's off to prereaders following one initial editing pass. But as so often happens in my writing, the chapter got too big for its wingboners and I couldn't put everything I wanted into it without doubling the length. I suppose I could do that, but as my general clopfic philosophy remains that heavy M-rated chapters should be careful not to do too much at once, the griffon chapters
Pun sadly intended. I started writing a new Midnight Rising chapter on Saturday, and so far it’s not been a struggle at all, with over 5600 words already down on it. But then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, given it involves a race near and dear to my writer heart—the griffons. You’ll get to see Midnight as she educates herself on the Kingdom and griffon anatomy along with their rather unique concepts of sensuality, with perhaps a minor assist from Juniper Neptune.
As I put the final touches on the Harmonic Resonance epilogue—it will launch tonight, and if you’d like to see what the resulting personality might look like if Twilight and Midnight Sparkle merged, check out the opening section—it’s time to turn our attention to Autumn, to Halloween... and at long last, back to my long-languishing Unleash the Magic stories.
But before I get into all that, I’d just like to say that I hate Daylight Savings Time. It should be year-round if anything and not make us have to adjust our internal and external clocks twice a year. But I’ll spare you that rant. The main purpose of this blog is to let everyone know that I have not one but two chapters in prereads. Midnight Rising and Firefly are finally draft complete and will be released soon, possibly on the same day, though I do need to make a couple new
Sorry for the dearth of info lately, but I’ve been busy with some not entirely pleasant stuff, whose nature I will not divulge. But here’s where my stories stand right now. I’m tagging this Midnight Rising only because it’s first in line for release; I really wish they’d allow us to tag more than one story in blog posts at once.
I’ll be honest, folks. I’ve been having a very hard time getting back in the groove for Midnight Rising, as I find I can only do a few hundred words of it per day. I’ve got 4000 words down and there a couple parts I like, but the meat of the scene is just not coming quickly. Reading back over the previous chapter, I was actually impressed at how well it came out, and trying to both continue and surpass it... well, it’s a tall order, doubly so since I have to set the scene for what
The new Harmonic Resonance chapter is a big one as befits our Human Element of Generosity, coming in at a healthy 10.5k words. It will be released as soon as prereads are in, and I have the approval of the commissioner on it. In all honesty, this one gave me some trouble as I tried something different in this chapter than the previous ones, seeking a suitable ascension for the lovely Miss Rarity. But it seems to have turned out pretty well. You be
I launched Harmonic Resonance yesterday, and I’m honestly stunned by how poorly it did. 
Equestria Girls clopfics usually do well, or so I thought; I truly believed this was a surefire feature. I’m honestly not sure what I did wrong in terms of marketing it, either in the story description or the groups I added it to. If anybody has thoughts, feel free to share them.
