I hate to say it, but I'm really struggling with this final scene of Chapter Three, so since you all have been waiting patiently for the next chapter, I'm going to split the final scene off into a separate chapter and put up what I have so far. I'll be posting the new chapter some time in the next six to twelve hours, so be sure to look for it then.

From a Skype discussion* between Pusspuss and I about something I'm putting in the final scene of Chapter Three:

[12:06:20 AM] Me: Oh, and tsundere Nurse Faran is tsundere...
[12:06:38 AM] P^2: o.o
[12:06:41 AM] P^2: when did that happen?
[12:06:42 AM] P^2: XD
[12:07:02 AM] Me: It's starting in this chapter that I'm writing.

So, despite having to spend most of Saturday dealing with various issues with my car, I managed to get a fair bit of progress done on Chapter Three today. Three scenes of a planned four are currently complete. The final scene shouldn't take too long, and with luck I'll be able to get the chapter up some time tonight at the earliest.

In other news, GL:A hit its 420th like in the last 48 hours.

I'm currently sitting here with two of a planned four scenes completed for Chapter Three, and gdocs is telling me that it's 8873 words long with just these two scenes. Since the remaining two scenes promise to be about as long, I'm considering splitting this chapter into two parts so that you guys don't have to read another marathon 20K chapter. (And so that you don't have to wait two whole months for the next chapter. ) I'll let you know what I decide in an upcoming

The new chapter is up. Check it out here.

I apologize that it took so long to get this written and published. It's kind of a marathon of a chapter - both to write and to read. It's probably not my best work, I'll admit, but some important groundwork gets laid for future chapters. (And there's a whole lot of ship teasing going on. )

Chapter Two of Greater Lights: Adaptation is nearly done, and after an editing pass, will be posted here. Expect it some time today.

For realzies, this time!

Is nearly complete. Just one more (probably short) scene to finish. I should have it up late tonight at the earliest, if not sometime tomorrow. I appreciate everyone's patience. I know two months for a new chapter is a long time to wait, but the wait is almost over, I promise!

Until then, have the literal version of Under Our Spell to tide you over.

Chapter two of Greater Lights: Adaptation is coming along pretty nicely. I'm most of the way through the fourth scene out of a total of seven. Barring unforeseen complications such as really large chapter dumps of fics I'm following (I'm looking at you, Pusspuss! ), I should have the next chapter complete and uploaded by the time the new episode airs. (Knock on wood, cross my fingers, squeeze the

So, the revisions to the prologue and Chapter One of Greater Lights: Adaptation are now complete and the story has been updated to reflect those changes (as should be obvious from the chapter titles). Hopefully, most of you will find the changes to be improvements over the first version. Also, if I ever do these sort of revisions in the future, the revised chapter will have "(Revised)" in the chapter title until such time as a new chapter is released.

Alternative Title: No Plan Survives First Contact With the Enemy

So, here's the deal with Chapter One. When I originally set out the plan for this story nearly a year ago, I was going to do it in a manner reminiscent of The Hunger Games: three acts consisting of nine chapters each, with an interlude chapter between each act, along with a prologue and an epilogue. This chapter was originally going to have five scenes, each with its own title in my notes:

1) Waking Up

Sorry folks. Looks like I'm not going to make it in time for the Season 5 premiere. I'll keep plugging away at it, though. It'll definitely be done by tonight, though. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not an oncoming train!

I have (qualified) good news for everyone eagerly anticipating the next chapter of Greater Lights: Adaptation. I will mostly likely be able to get it up in time for the Season 5 premiere. However, I will probably be cutting it pretty close to my self-imposed deadline. I had wanted to edit the prologue as well before publishing the new chapter, but that's just not going to happen.

I regret nothing!

So, that happened. Hopefully some of you got to see what it's like to be me for a few hours as I worked on Chapter One. Regreme and I had some interesting conversations about headcanon, and later on BikerPon3 got in on the conversation (and I got to find out just how scarily similar our minds are ). All in all, I'd say a fun time was had by all,

Horse words... Horse words everywhere! But especially here.

Hey, everyone! I've been truly amazed at the amount of attention this story's been receiving over the last week. It's truly an honor, and quite a surprise as well. Some months back, when I first announced that I was working on it, I actually expected the thing to be met with a downvote storm, and yet it was received so positively. You all are totally awesome, and to reward that awesomeness, I'm going to try a little experiment with you all.

Thanks, everyone! It really does my heart good to know that my writing doesn't totally suck.
