    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

If Sabaton made songs about Thunderbolt · 1:05am Feb 10th, 2017

Hey folks...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm starting work on the next Firefly chapter this weekend. Currently, I'm alternating chapters of it with Five Star Service and will continue to do so until the latter is complete in two more chapters. And after that? Will alternate between Firefly and The Lawyer and the Unicorn.

Probably be another week before the next chapter is ready. But in the meantime... a special treat. Some of you may have heard the Sabaton song To Hell and Back, which is about Audie Murphy, one of the most decorated American soldiers of WWII... and one who suffered from severe PTSD afterwards. For that reason, he and the song remind me of Thunderbolt, and thus I've written alternate lyrics for the song to make it about him. So read and sing along, and you'll get some hints as to what's in store for our favorite future Bolt Knight... oh yes, and he'll be appearing one last time before the outbreak of war in either the next chapter or the one after. So without further ado...

A stallion Lieutenant
A soldier so strong
Defending a village
When all went so wrong

Grief turns to rage
And a demon takes hold
Both tragic and triumph
His story is told

Flight
A Bolt Knight
If there be
Salvation in war
Let it come
To those like him

Who knew he would never come back

Gravestones grew on IS-2
Where his force couldn't fight
And all died in his sight
Through Phoenix Fire
On vengeance' pyre
In Altair and Rial
The Lucavi did fall

His warrior soul wounded
His friends still he mourned
But his city was threatened
And his demon reborn

Slew all attackers
Saved all he could
Defender of Harmony
Cloudsdale still stood

Might
A Bolt Knight
If there be
Any glory in war
It belongs
To those like him

Who fought knowing he could not win

His friends were slew at IS-2
Where betrayal and lies
Meant those he loved dies
When death did wait
Did not hesitate
Bought time for his friends
Now his spirit ascends

So listen closely
As whose life we now review
A stallion
Whose love and faith were true

And from the Inland Shores
Where his thunder still roars
His courage ensures
That Equestria endures

His plaque sits well where his friends once fell
When the fighting did cease
He at least found his peace
His demons slain
He no longer knows pain
He launched an attack
Knowing he'd never come back!
