    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

    I have reached a decision on Midnight Rising...

    Thanks in part to one final comment that came to me over PM last night. It wasn't a mean comment. In fact, it was nothing but a simple, politely asked question from a reader I hadn't heard from before: do you have to read the griffon chapters to understand what comes after?

Call of Duty Complete, TLaTU On Deck · 4:48pm Apr 26th, 2017

Make that two stories completed this year, and TLaTU will be number three as I'm restarting work on it and intend to push it through to completion, alternating chapters with Rise of Firefly. TLaTU has been submitted for review, by the way, at the Reviewer's Cafe group, and was moved to "In Review" status yesterday. Should be interesting to see how well it does though I don't have high hopes given the dislike the ship tends to garner.

Speaking of reviews, Five Star Service was reviewed and approved for inclusion with an 8/10 rating by the Reviewer's Cafe a couple weeks ago but I haven't announced it or linked the review because I've got major issues with it. I have given the reviewer a private rebuttal and he has promised a second, 'private' review of unknown content. When things are hashed out with him regarding the points of contention I'll link it, but for now I think anyone reading his original review would come away with a bad impression and be less likely to read the story, not more.

As for when the next TLaTU chapter will be ready, probably a week or two. It'll take me a bit of time to get back in the swing of it, as always happens when I'm shifting back to a story I haven't worked on in a bit. Any hints of content? Expect a surprise cameo or two...
