    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

What's ahead · 4:58pm Apr 12th, 2017

I'm currently working on a new Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare chapter for Raven that is the story climax and may well be the story ending. The rewrite has been going off and in for well over a year now and it's time to conclude it. Those of you curious to see how pony strength, weather control and magic would do against modern human weapons and how the Mane 6 would react to an invasion of Ponyville by well-armed Russian Ultranationalists ala Modern Warfare are invited to read.

Hint: they kick ass in due course and there are some callouts to Rise of Firefly as well. Yeah, it's a crackfic crossover but I've done my best to make it work.

After that? As promised, I'm returning to finish off The Lawyer and the Unicorn, alternating it with chapters of Firefly. Speaking of the latter, to answer a question posed by the last chapter, it has been decided that the story will be marked complete after these final interludes and then resume with a new story; part two of a trilogy. The new story will be linked at the ending of the final chapter of the old one so you don't have to worry about missing it.

Why am I doing this? Because I think the length of this story has become daunting for new readers as it's now novel length and if I ever published this as actual books, that would be the natural breakpoint between one novel to the next. My hope is by launching a fresh story right into the war, the overall story will get a boost of new interest as it's been getting progressively harder to attract new readers and reach the 200-like mark.

And there you have it. I'm also sorry I've been somewhat unavailable online but I've been rather moody lately for reasons I won't go into now. Just be assured I'm still alive and kicking... and writing. TLaTU will be finished within a couple months and conclude... suitably :coolphoto:.

I'm quite looking forward to the conclusion of Firefly Part 1 and the launch of Part 2. I hope you get a boost with the new story as Firefly is deserving of more readers who are currently missing out.

Thanks for answering my question about the breakup up of the stories. I'll be sure to keep in eye out for the next part.

Moody? Something wrong?
