    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?

Minor change to latest Firefly chapters and future plans · 5:20pm May 28th, 2020

As Silverblade5 pointed out, the duel between Gavian and Thunderbolt lasted considerably longer than five minutes. And though it's tempting to say that this simply happened on DBZ time, using their definition of five minutes (where it lasts eight episodes), I won't.

I recited the duel sections to myself with a timer running to figure out how long the fight lasted in real time, and came up with just short of ten minutes. So I've modified this last chapter and the one before it to state that. Instead of five minutes, Typhoon's technique now lasts for around ten minutes, and costs you ten days of pain. Poor Gavian. :ajsleepy:

All that said, this was a wildly successful and well-received chapter, for which I'm both relieved and grateful. My scheme to have this fight was honestly no less insane than Typhoon's, but I think I pulled it off in fine fashion. With no little help from my prereading friends. Thanks again, AJ_Aficionado and Denim_Blue!

As for going forward... I'll be leaving Firefly for likely a couple months to shift back over to Nightmare Night. In all honesty, I find I'm a bit burned out on Into the Storm after pushing six chapters in two and a half months, including two very difficult ones over the past couple weeks. But guest chapters are possible and perhaps even likely over that time, with AJA contributing more Highborne perspective and DB, the Changeling one.

Thanks for following the story yet again, and a warm welcome to new readers I've picked up during that time. Firefly will continue, but it's time to give my other active story series some attention.
