    C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

    Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

    Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

    But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

    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.

T-rated version of TLaTU is go... · 2:49pm May 8th, 2018

I asked for ten yea votes to do it, and I got nine. :rainbowhuh: But there were also two yea votes by different readers for the T-rated version for the trial, so counting those, that makes 11. Threshold exceeded, so as promised, a T-rated version of The Lawyer and The Unicorn will be released.

Best guess is that it will take me 2-3 weeks to complete a modified version of the original, so I will aim to publish it around Memorial Day weekend (last weekend in May). More information and perhaps a teaser or two will follow as the release date gets closer.

I emphasize that I am not pulling the original, which I'm in fact quite proud of. I'm simply doing what I now realize I should really have done all along--release two versions in parallel, one M-rated and one T-rated so there would be something for everyone and readers could choose which version they wished to follow.

But live and learn. I'll be using this dual-version strategy going forward into future TAS/TLaTU sequels as well. Those of you who've been waiting for a Turnabout Storm sequel you could follow are about to get a 200,000 word story with a twelve-chapter trial unlike anything Phoenix has ever experienced before. And who knows? Maybe this second release also will drum up some interest for the original, which has gotten tantalizingly close to 300 likes.
