For which I have an announcement. Into the Storm will be marked complete with this final chapter release.
I’m about half done with the latter, with four images generated and several more remaining as I need them to show the progression of battle and ensure my narration makes sense. Current plan is to release the chapter, titled The Daisy Regiment, tomorrow night. Feedback so far from AJA and others has been quite good, so here’s the promised teaser, with one of the finished graphics at the end:
There is a problem. What is the problem, you ask? This:
You’re looking at the comment list of Eros Chapter 16. It’s empty. 
Courtesy of changeling aficionado Denim_Blue. A quick teaser follows, told from the perspective of Captain Rachnia, commander of Queen Lepidoptes' Royal Guard as matters become quickly dire in their hidden hive beneath the streets of Mosclaw:
It’s with prereaders and has topped 11k words. I’m just waiting to receive everyone’s feedback, including the commissioner before I release it. Best guess for that is Tuesday or Wednesday night. In a late addition to the story, I decided to conclude it with one final, brief section at the very end to potentially set up a sequel or side story. Suffice it to say for now, it would appear that certain beings have a natural immunity to Sunset’s memory erasure spells.
We have a 9500 word chapter thus far, tentatively titled Lunar Lust, and it's a doozie. I promised to take Luna to the very edge of temptation, and this chapter does indeed deliver that. Be warned it may also rustle some jimmies, not so much for what happens but for admissions of what happened in the past. Needless to say, Luna has very good reason not to allow herself to fall into darkness again or be corrupted by this curse. So, will Nightmare Moon herself appear, you ask?
To make a long story short, we once again have an endlessly expanding chapter that’s already several thousand words bigger than I thought it would be. It’s now over 17k words, which means we’re reaching the territory where I have to consider breaking it up again. Regardless, I plan to finish it this weekend. I’m back to work on Monday but off on Tuesday for Independence Day, though I don’t know how much work will actually be done by anyone when you’re talking one working day between the weekend
As promised on a blog in early December, I’m coming back to Midnight Rising with the intention of rewriting the poorly done ending to the Molly/Vesuvius duel to something far more fitting and appropriate. And once that’s done? I’m proceeding directly into the next chapter with the intention of putting the story back on track, finally focusing on Lemon Zest.
Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.
Hey folks--I’m sorry for the delay in getting this teaser out. I know I promised yesterday, but work has been very unpleasant of late, with me in no less than ten hours of meetings over the past two days and really sapping my energy and time to work on this. But better late than never, here it is...
... and will likely be finished within the next few days as It’s coming pretty quickly. Will be aiming for a midweek release. As promised, this chapter will not be clop, but rather, one last round of worldbuilding before the grand finale to follow, much of it taking place over a chess match between Edgeworth and Celestia. Among other things, you’ll learn some very interesting facts about Celly and her role in on Earth over the centuries, such as:
As promised, here’s a teaser for the new chapter, which is about half done. I could actually break it off right where I am, but I won’t this time. This will be another double-sized chapter to describe the final escape from Epsilon, and all the myriad battles that happened within it. Duels, sharp fights, and naval action will be the order of the day, and you’ll get to see our Naval bridge crew and commanders in combat for the first time.
As work proceeds on Firefly book 2, I am also working towards a new TLaTU chapter release. Part 33 currently stands at just north of 6000 words, and I have an eye on publishing it this weekend, most likely Sunday. What kind of chapter will it be? A mixture of sexytimes and summer fun involving the Fairgrounds, a Ferris Wheel, and some evening music. I have one last surprise to spring that will be hinted at here, but you'll have to wait one more chapter to get it. Expect this chapter to be
The Battle of Fort Spur is over. But the Battle for Cloudsdale is about to begin. Part 6 of Flight of Firefly launches tomorrow morning at 9am Eastern. It’s time to welcome to the story a pony with a tragic past. A pony who is nigh-unbeatable in battle and perhaps the most terrifying living weapon that exists on either side...
After some discussion with my prereaders as to how best redo the climactic scene, most notably AJ_Aficionado who offered some very good advice, I believe I have settled on a new approach.
The first few hundred words are down. Titled "Rarified", which should by itself give away who the focus is on and its major scene, I will be attempting to get it ready in time for Christmas--or New Years' failing that. Why this instead of going back to Spike or the CMC? For two reasons: first, it's been too long since we teased what was about to happen to Rarity, and second, I think I owe one of my prereaders for last chapter, which I'm pretty sure he didn't enjoy reading. As he has expressed
Have everypony screw everypony else Well, yes, that, but the manner in which it's delivered is the question right now. I know from experience that serious clop chapters shouldn't *usually* be overlong or overstuffed with too many scenes; it's preferable to just focus on one or two scenes at a time. Yes, there are exceptions I make to this, as anybody who's read the ending of The Lawyer and The Unicorn can probably attest, as I like to end such stories with the sexual equivalent of
It's coming in at just under 7000 words and will launch as soon as all prereads are in--I'm only waiting on one more. Aside from continuing to build the story to its (hopefully) Halloween climax, expect the new chapter to do at least one thing I've been wanting to generally for a while and plug a major plot hole in the MLP movie. Which hole? You'll find out in the course of reading it and the author's notes. 
Progress has slowed a bit over the past day, but that might be because I've been working at a breakneck pace until now. I have the first three clop chapters completed and off to prereaders, with a combined total of around 18.5k words. The 4th and 5th chapters are in progress with about 5k words written between them.
As promised earlier. All prereads are in and the first of two editing passes has been completed. It's now tipping the scales at a whopping 12,100 words, but I'm not breaking it up as I consider it a climactic chapter of a major story arc. As such, it needs to be read as a single entity. Expect one hell of a roller coaster ride, folks, and for the story to earn its dark tag in the final section. I won't say more than that, except I intend to show just how sensual and desirable, yet darkly
