The next Nightmare Night chapter is well underway at already 4000 words long with one section completed. I'm aiming for a release within a week, and this next entry will be all about Luna. It is my intention to take her to the very edge of temptation and conversion to see if she can withstand it, having a lot of fun along the way. By direct request of Redmar--who I thank greatly for always commenting on each chapter--we'll also be checking in with Twilight's old classmates (Lemon Hearts,

Titled "Command Corruption", it's become a doozie, in the immortal words of Pinkie Pie , and once again borrows heavily on AJ_Aficionado's too-good-not-to-use thestral lore as the Canterlot Castle Command Center is corrupted and converted, with all the M-rated action it implies.

4000 words in, and as usual, the chapter's taking a bit of a turn from what I initially intended as I find myself shifting from section to section, working on each a little in turn. But that's fine. There remains at least a slight chance I'll have it done by this weekend; it depends on whether I finally break through and start knocking out the rest quickly, which sometimes happens in my writing. The first half comes slowly, and then the rest comes rapidly as I get more into it and the chapter

Into writing the next Nightmare Night chapter, which is already 2k words long and growing. it's possible, if unlikely, it'll be ready for release this weekend, but a more likely timeframe would be the middle of next week. As promised, this one will shift scenes back to Canterlot to our converted thestralcorn friends in their assault on the Canterlot Castle Command Center, followed by the intervention of Luna herself. Funtimes are promised, and this should be a four-section chapter, with

I should have it draft completed for review by AJA tonight. Most likely it will launch Saturday morning, but no later than Sunday morning. Looks like it'll come in a bit under 8000 words. No teaser, sorry, only because this is one of those chapters that I really don't want to to give anything away so readers get it full force. You already know who wins this, but as they say, the fun is getting there! And it's time to check back in with Starlight, to see how she's holding up under constant

I've currently got 5000 words written with at least a couple thousand more to add; I will aim to have it ready by the weekend for a Sunday launch or sooner. Slight change in plans to chapter content, however.

The first of several chapters in the runup to Halloween is underway. As I've delayed it long enough, it's time for the resolution of the duel/mating round between Night Owl and Shadowdash, as well as advancing the story further over in Canterlot.

Also, I've just about decided to make a new bonus chapter for the original Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising, as the new chapter will reference a previously unseen event in it involving Rainbow and Gilda.

Coming in at 6000 words; it'll be a nearly double-length chapter to close out the Ponyville Post Office story arc. Which is not to say we won't hear from this group again, both in this story and in the parent Nightmare Night adult epic! I'd like to thank AJ_Aficionado for the rapid preread, and I'm pleased to report he liked the stuff I was doing. As for who the focus is on, as there's only one unaltered pony left, it'll have to be Priority Parcel by definition, but making him the center

Or actually, just my two-month writing plan from here through Halloween:

But writing motivation has been lacking as issues in my personal and professional lives have picked up. For the latter, I've worked a slew of additional hours the last couple weeks, and on the home front, I've got a painful shoulder and knee as well as a home desktop that just failed and requires replacement.

Just as soon as my prereaders have finished with it and I've given it an editing pass or three, possibly as soon as tonight. Readers of Nightmare Night who enjoy the figurative plot more than the literal kind may wish to give this one a look, as the chapters are shorter and completely given over to M-rated action without any of the scene-setting or world/character building I've got in the parent story.

On the next Nightmare Night chapter, as motivation to write has been lacking of late due to a variety of reasons, both professional and personal. Nevertheless, it's coming along bit by bit. To this point, I've finished about 2500 words and close to two sections of it, but the primary two sections regarding the battle between Night Owl and Shadowdash remains to be written.

It's a bit of a special-interest work, but for those of you who are into it, he's written this story to help christen the brand new earplay folders of the My Little Fetish group. And trust me, it's a doozie.

I haven't actually started the next chapter yet, having taken a week off from writing following the last one. As much as I enjoyed telling the story of our birdy boi Perry, it was also quite draining, and in the end I needed to step back from clop for a bit to recharge.

I have around 5500 words on the new chapter and three of four sections completed, though the 4th--the all-important Peregrine section--I have yet to start. I expect to finish it this weekend; depending on how quickly it comes (no pun intended) there's at least an outside chance the chapter will launch on Sunday.

The first 2100 words are down, and the four sections are sketched out. You already know the main scene here--expect a very interesting twist in the final claiming of our birdy boi Peregrine, which I'll be keeping secret--but for a side one?

Well, I think it's time we hear from another interested party. So how'd folks like to see Midnight emerge again? A small teaser follows:

Now that we have the site back from that little hardware hiccup, it's time to move forward. The new Nightmare Night chapter is almost ready to go.

It's about half-done at 4000 words right now. To perhaps little surprise, I've had trouble getting back into the mood to write clop with all the crap happening in the world around us, but to that I tell myself that escapes are just made all the more important. So the work goes on.

After writing six chapters over the past two and half months for Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, I'm heading back over to Nightmare Night to resume work there in a few days. But first, I need some down time after the heavy push I put on the last two Firefly chapters, which contained some very difficult action and exposition scenes. I also need to reset my focus and mindset from warfic to clopfic.

I'll be resuming work on Nightmare Night by month's end, after one more Firefly chapter. We'll see how easily I get back into it after a couple months away. In the meantime, check out the latest offering from prereader and occasional partner in crime AJ_Aficionado, which is both topical and a clopfic contest entry:
