    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?

Firefly Part 15 and casting call update · 4:07pm Mar 19th, 2019

I'm 5,000 words into the new chapter, and it'll probably be at least 15,000 before all is said and done for the penultimate action at Epsilon. I'll have to consider breaking it up into multiple chapters if gets much bigger than that.

Meanwhile, we're still looking for voice actors for the Rise of Firefly reading, and we need some more female ones in particular (for voicing Celestia, Firefly and Wind Whistler). There is a bit of cash ($5 - $15 per chapter) for those who are selected depending on the meatiness of the role. You still have a couple days to audition if you like!

The roles for such important characters like Sergeant Major Windshear are still available. I'm pleased to say that I'll be voicing at least two minor roles personally--I will be the voice of Sergeant Bone Deep (Fort Spur's head healer), and perhaps fittingly, the voice of the Alicorn Amulet! :trixieshiftleft:

Write on and good luck finding voices

Nice. I put the world out on a forum I'm a part of.

I dont have the equipment else I would totally do it for one of the Male voices, or particularly Tom female if needed. :rainbowlaugh:

Just a thought though, what kindve equipment is particularly needed in todays VA world? I know absolutely nothing of it, but am interested. :twilightsmile:

Thanks! :twilightsmile:

Very much appreciated, thank you! :pinkiehappy:

My voice isn't any less amateur-tier! :rainbowlaugh: But I do have the advantage of knowing how the characters sound to me in my head when I'm writing them. Actually making myself sound like them is another matter; I didn't realize how hard this was until I tried! Ended up with several coughing fits at intervals, and I had to keep sipping water between takes.

All it takes is a microphone (like a gaming headset) and some sound software (there's freeware out there; I don't remember what I used but I can remind myself when I get home) to capture and save the audition in a format the website will accept. I do plan to get something a bit nicer for the job, at least, rather than cheap one I was using. It had trouble dealing with sharp volume changes.

Well, I've never done such, but if you find you need another Male, or what not. :twilightsheepish:

Can guys do voices for female roles?

If you want to try, sure. Girls do guy voices all the time. Spike’s VA in the show is female.
