    Closure: Full plot spoilers for Smoke here

    Consider yourselves warned: this whole post is a spoiler. We're well past the point that the only realistic thing is that Smoke is done, so for anyone who wanted to know what had been planned, well, may this post provide you some closure. I'm certain to have forgotten things or misremembered them. It's been a while. But Smoke has only relatively recently stopped attracting new

    Tumblr porn ban

    As most of you know, Tumblr's banning porn on the 17th of this month. Since Smoke is pretty well dead in the water, I won't be bothering to relocate any of the images or other content from the Smoke Tumblr. If you came upon this story after I quit working on it and weren't aware there were images, here's your chance to see them before they're gone. Otherwise, it's your chance to archive them

    Cut content

    So, about a week ago, while naked and wet (just a shower, sadly...), I actually felt a little like working on Smoke again. I haven't yet, and don't know if I will. Let's start off with the honest disclaimers: if you've been here, you know not to get your hopes up when I say anything, and I know not to make any promises. Which is why I didn't post anything that night--I had to dig

    Still not dead.

    I received a PM from Rozen Knight letting me know that some of you were worried about me. That's flattering, but I'm okay. If you followed me two years ago, you know that I'm coming up on a terrible time of year for me emotionally, but that's not why there's been radio silence. It's just that there's been nothing to say. No progress, and I assure you that I'm as tired of making empty promises

    Current chapter is progressing terribly. Can't claim burnout since I've not put out a chapter in months, but something's not working. Chapter's going on the back burner while I put together a piece that builds Smoke's events in parallel with the main story. Style will be different, trying to shift gears. Sorry for the abysmal rate of updates, guys. Once that's done, I'll pick up the

New chapter in hours · 11:31am Nov 7th, 2015

The next chapter is finished and ready to go; I'm just holding off because sufficient bribes have not yet been received I hate being featured, and posting when the site is busier means more popular stories flood me off the front page quickly. I hope people enjoy this one. Some of you have complained that Pirouette is a nag. Some of you have wished to get to know her better. In a few hours, you'll see the Pirouette in my head, Done's best friend--the one that space constraints and her role in the story keep me from properly showcasing.

There's art for this chapter, too. It'll go up on the tumblr when the chapter is posted. The bad news is that my chronic problems with artists for Smoke persist. Fishy finished this image quite a while ago--but it's his last for me. He's decided to move on and set down the pen during college. While I wish I weren't out my illustrator, college is a hectic time, and I wish him the best. This may be the end of commissioned art for Smoke, though. I'm ever so tired of not being able to get things lined up, or lining it up and having it fall apart. I've got $195 earmarked for commissions, too. :P

For now, though, it's 6:30 in the morning, and I hear a stupid bird outside. It's time for me to pass out.

Remind me, why don't you like being featured again? Has it something to do with people not liking MC and complaining about it in the comments? In that case just wait until some Fall of Equestria stuff pops up and nobody will bother you: Compared to that stuff Smoke looks like a PG-12 romantic comedy. :pinkiehappy:

You were right when you said that I would like this chapter. It’s not the Done-Day-Deep threesome I’m still eagerly awaiting - no I’m not try to put any pressure on you, why would you think that :trollestia: - but it’s a close second. This is going to be really interesting. Althought, I'm on the fence about a possibly sex scene between her and Done. Somehow I can't imagin them having sex, but I'm sure you wrote it in a way that feels "right".

He dislikes being featured because, invariably, that winds up bringing in 3-4 downvotes, and very few readers that actually read through and get hooked on it. It screws with the upvote/downvote ratio DG's driven to maintain.

Somehow I can't imagin them having sex,

Neither can Done, really.
