    Feathered Hearts C&C chapter 40 will launch tonight

    I apologize for the long delay. The chapter draft was submitted to prereaders a month ago and well-received, but the graphics have taken me a while and several false starts. The main reason is I tried multiple methods to include unit icons in the maps of Aresia, but the end result always seems more cluttered than anything else. Here's an example:

    Without unit icons:

    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    Still pecking away on Midnight Rising and Feathered Hearts...

    The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    Still working on Midnight Rising...

    At the rate of about 800-1000 words a day. That’s my key to getting stuff done that’s causing you issues; just be sure you put at least a little time in on it this day to have some forward momentum. The two chapters are now up to 24,100 words. I’ll work on it more this weekend, at least around continuing work around the maps and battle graphics I’m making for Feathered Hearts.

    Did two things this past weekend...

    First, I ran 10k for the first time in two months after laying off that long to let my ankle bursitis subside, trying to allow the area to generally heal up. It appears that it worked. To my delight, there was no ankle pain after and I hadn’t even lost much stamina thanks to hitting an elliptical machine twice a week for an hour instead of jogging. My upper legs are another matter, though.

The first twelve chapters of Turnabout Storm have been updated... · 1:46pm Jan 30th, 2018

Everything through the end of the first day of trial (part 12) has been completely revamped. The chapters have been carefully edited and expanded to include additional detail and dialogue, and use a lighter touch on the early shipping. I also dramatically cut back on overuse of Lavender Unicorn Syndrome (or Violet Unicorn Syndrome in this case--it really made me grimace rereading this how often I did it back then), fixed some of the more stilted lines, added a few additional Ace Attorney game references, and even put in new evidence graphics borrowed directly from the videos. Last but not least, I added a few things that reference events that happen later in the story or even TLaTU.

Feel free to check out the changes, and I would like to know what folks think. I'm down with the flu right now, so I wouldn't mind a few comments while I'm convalescing.

woah holy shit. I had it in read later, so I guess the first time I've read it will be the revamped.

Well, it's going to take me a while to completely go through the story to edit everything--many months, in fact, given the sheer number of words and chapters--but if you want to start now with the first 12 chapters, feel free. I wouldn't mind hearing the opinion of someone coming in cold to the updated version of how they like it.

Of course. I will when I have time.:twilightsmile:
