    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. No, really. She did. You’ll see what I mean when the chapter launches, but basically, I’m

Trick or Treat! · 12:20am Oct 28th, 2015

The new chapter of Five Star Service now stands at 8800 words and will likely be over 12,000 before all is said and done--a double-length chapter for the most important chapter of her life. All the princesses will be there, and you'll at last meet her first human... which readers of a certain DEL work (*cough*Changeling Roun*cough*) should already know the identity of anyway. :ajsmug: It's looking good so far and I think everyone's going to love it. I'm aiming for a Halloween release.

No trick, folks. Hope you'll enjoy your treat! :pinkiehappy:

How do you only have 99 followers? :rainbowhuh:You should have WAY more based on your writing content.

3501415 At least to me.

I shall enjoy this treat.

I appreciate you saying so, thanks. Unfortunately, what I don't have is an established hit, and given my habit of writing involved plot-driven stories instead of 2500-word one-shots, I'm not too likely to have one. I did write a very large chunk of the Turnabout Storm novelization, which garnered 1500 likes, but almost all the watches for that went to the story owner, Raven Regios.

I've tried to be patient and earn my likes and views. it's been a long, slow climb on this story, but at least I'm seeing some success towards the end. As for my other two stories, The Lawyer and the Unicorn is controversial for obvious reasons, while my most conventional story, Rise of Firefly, is having trouble attracting new readers. All I can do is continue to write, advertise, and hope something eventually breaks through.

I daresay you will! :pinkiehappy:

3501754 I'll tell my friends to check your story's out. Did you not get credit for your work?

3501769

Plenty. But a lot of times people don't read the authors notes or comments where credit is given. I'm fine with it. The main thing for me is that I kept a promise in completing it, and I did a bring a decent chunk of the readership over to read The Lawyer and The Unicorn.

3502320 I found The Lawyer and The Unicorn on YouTube when someone recommended me to read it after I asked about a extension of the story.

Really? Where? Under the videos themselves?
