    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.

    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

Work Continues on Firefly · 8:38pm Nov 13th, 2019

Following Monday's chapter release. As I seem to have some strong momentum on the story, I'll continue working on it in lieu of Nightmare Night for now.

The next chapter will pick up right where the last one left off, and I'll be drawing some inspiration from certain scenes belonging to a certain famous captain of a certain famous 1980s/90s sci-fi series for it. You'll also start to get some hints about what injustice Firefly thinks was done the gryphon side, though its full telling cannot be done until deeper into the war. A revelation the gryphons offer in return can be explained before too long, however.

Also know that I'm going to be commissioning some artwork of this story; of certain scenes and characters. More information will follow in due course as soon as I can determine what exactly I want there.

Nothing else to say at this point, except thanks as always to everyone who read and commented!

I'm so happy with how the thestrals have evolved since the early days. A comparison drawing inspiration from Star Trek isn't wrong at all. At this point, there is something kinda Trek about them with the vague loyalties, mysterious unspoken powers and a sense of destiny to play a significant role in the unfolding story. I can't wait to read through your next google doc and all the ones after that!

Interesting perspective :duck:
I definitely wouldn't have noticed something like that unless it was heavily spelled out for me :rainbowlaugh:, so thanks for the heads up!

I'm open to doing something for the art bit. Really enjoying this epic saga. Keep in touch.
