Work on the next Firefly chapter is underway

... As I need a break from Nightmare Night. The next chapter will bounce back and forth between the pony and gryphon sides again, and generally foreshadow things to come, though there will be no direct combat this time. The Loyalty is on its way to thestral lands in search of the missing Cloudsdale, not knowing the reception from the thestrals they will receive.

When the new chapter is launched, I will be moving the Equestrian War Declaration bonus chapter to near the end to put it in its proper place in the story timeline. This will also proceed a small section from Celestia from the new chapter in which she will issue her general war orders and begin laying the groundwork for a prolonged conflict, for she knows full well that a longer war favors Equestria. And for it, I feel it worth stating again that this is my version of Celly, not the show one. This is how I feel Celestia should be--powerful and wise with centuries of hard-learned experience in both war and peace backing her.

I also did some reorganization of the original Rise of Firefly story, moving all the bonus chapters to the ending as appendices to try to give the main story better flow. That was a complaint I heard from at least one reviewer before, and looking at it now, I think they're right and it works better this way.

Updates will follow on the new chapter as release gets closer, but for now, 2000 words are already written and I'll be aiming for probably another 10k-word entry when all is said and done.

Yay!

I always love how meaty each chapter of Firefly is. They always easily justify the wait.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

I can't wait to proofread this one! No doubt I'll have a lot to say about the thestrals, especially Starry Skies the Based and Bat-pilled reincarnation of John Hunyadi.

I don’t think you’ll have long to wait at this point! It’s coming quick.

Thank you! I enjoy making meaty chapters. They don’t always come quickly, but this one seems to be. Guess I was ready to work on it again!

I always look forward to getting to read these chapters, so I’m pumped, heh. Remind me to send you more of what I’ve written for future contributions to Firefly; hopefully you’ll like them!

By all means! Send them right along. I’d love to see what you’ve come up with.

Interesting comparison! Starry Skies will definitely be heard from again, and quite soon.

I'm extremely interested in the thestrals for this universe as well
