    Midnight Rising update; Feathered Hearts C&C teaser...

    Hey, folks. Here’s my weekly writing update. I’m tagging this as C&C since that’s what the teaser below is about, but the blog is about both it and Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising.

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

    Still waiting on Midnight Rising prereads...

    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.

    Mind changed on removing the griffon arc from Midnight Rising + teaser

    After receiving pleas from multiple readers to keep the Enter the Griffon chapters in place, I have decided to do so and go with my original plan, which was to simply offer new readers the chance

    One final thing...

    I have been advised by no less an authority than CHS acting Vice-Principal Ms. Cheerilee to use the upcoming Midnight Rising chapter as strictly a recap to relaunch the story, and not get into Lemon Zest until the following chapter, when I can devote a full entry to it without any split in focus.

New Rise of Firefly Chapter Up Next... · 6:19pm Sep 14th, 2015

Hey folks. As per my now-customary story rotation of working on a new chapter of Five Star Service, The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly in turn, the Firefly story is getting a new chapter next.

Though it's very nice to see (for now) zero dislikes on the story, Leo and I have been a bit frustrated by the otherwise low interest, and we'd like to know if anyone out there has suggestions as to what we might do to attract more readers. There's a sharp drop off in reads from the prologue to the first full chapter, which makes me think there's something wrong with the intro that it's not grabbing readers.

If you have any thoughts on the matter, something we could fix, add, or otherwise do differently, please let us know in the blog comments. In the meantime, the story continues... look for a new chapter release next week.
