    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?

Casting Call for Rise of Firefly - Voice Actors needed! · 4:22pm Feb 22nd, 2019

Courtesty of BirdsBooksBrownies, who requested and received permission to put together an effort to do a voice reading of the first four chapters with the possibility of more in the future.

As you can see, a little money is being offered (by me) for this effort as well. The rates stated are per chapter the VA is needed and reflect the relative amount of dialogue he or she has. I'm planning to audition myself this weekend. If you're interested and would like to be in this, just sign up at the website and record a few of the lines.

As for the next chapter, it stands at 11,500 words and I've not been able to put a lot of work on it this week, mostly due to my day job being quite busy. Still have a section and a half to write, but I definitely think folks are going to like it. I intend to spend this weekend attempting to finish it and starting graphics for it. The latter will probably take the longest.

If the chapter gets too long, I will consider splitting it into two chapters, but for now, it remains just one. I don't mind big chapters for climactic scenes and battles.

Ooh, nice! I'll have to check it out :pinkiegasp:
Also, nothing wrong with a long chapter if the pacing fits. I've certainly read 20k word chapters before that worked just fine.
