    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 update · 7:53pm Jan 21st, 2020

As I've been working on Nightmare Night lately and will continue to do so for at least a couple more chapters--I have momentum and a desire to keep working on it at this point since it's near its climax--I haven't put in much work on Firefly lately. There is, however, news on it. The VA work for Firefly continues, and several pieces of artwork/advertising are on the way. More guest chapters are coming, and I have made one minor but important retcon to an earlier chapter:

Part 17 - Escape from Epsilon

... I complete this following section just before leaving for the Loyalty, which awaits its aerial duel with the Arnau over the Naval drill fields of Polaris Base. The Commodore of the Polaris group, Prince Blueblood himself, is said to be insulted that his flagship was not selected, but ‘tis certain the Loyalty is the most famous ship of the Royal Navy, and for it, ‘twould be just as much an insult now as it was then to not meet the gryphons with our best.

Yes, Prince Blueblood. There is a good reason for this, one that will only become apparent in time. Sometimes the Prince is depicted as a callous and/or useless fop, other stories have shown him with much more depth. I've depicted him both ways in my stories--see Nightmare Night for the former and Five Star Service for the latter--but for Firefly, we'll get the deeper and more cunning version. Needless to say, the Blueblood line goes back a long way, and it has a claim to military fame that comes from the Great Pony/Gryphon War itself.

I will work on the story as a break from Nightmare Night, but for the time being, it is not the first priority. But be assured it is not forgotten. It will continue before Spring.

Momentum is important, I understand. Especially when heading towards the climax (I see what you did there :trollestia:)
Can't wait for more Firefly though! Cheers :yay:

One of my favorites fanfics had a sympathetic Blueblood: The Best Night Ever. You also made the Prince quite sympathetic in Five Star Service. I approve of your decision to give him a place in Firefly as well.
