    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

TLaTU review · 1:37pm Jul 18th, 2020

By Darksymphony777 on his YouTube channel. He reviews fanfictions and previously reviewed Turnabout Storm. Presented without comment except to say give it a listen and if you like, give him a thumbs-up or subscribe. YouTube's a hard world to gain traction in, after all, and I appreciate the time and attention reading a story like this takes, doubly so when you're doing it for review.

As for TLaTU, I still need to get back and resume editing it, but more immediate writing projects keep taking precedence--chiefly Nightmare Night and Into the Storm. However, I do remain proud of this story, as despite the issues--several of which he points out--I succeeded in what I set out to do. It remains my most read and commented-on story short of Turnabout Storm itself, which wasn't mine to begin with, and I did a great deal with it. Perhaps more than I should have, but honestly? No regrets. I had a good time writing it, and that's ultimately what counts.

Your effort in producing the review is appreciated even if it's not favorable. Thanks for taking the time to produce it!

It's ok I really wanted to like this story. But it was not meant to be.

Also I never got a chance to say my favorite part the story on the video, so I thought I would let everyone know here.

My favorite part is the sheer unintentional hilarity of having a sex scene play to "it has to be this way" from metal gear rising revengence. Considering I have played that game. The idea that a theme song played when fighting a overly buff American senator with nanomachines (SON!) Over a sex scene was just hilarious. Firesight, please note I will hold this over you for as long as I can. Just like people need to hold CHAZ over that mayor from Seattle

Sounds like a moment I'm holding over Clopficsinthecomments where he used "wounded pigeon" as a simile during a sex scene involving a pegasus. How can something be so terrible and so perfect at the same time?

Edit: Context is for the weak but somehow makes it even funnier.

Exactly. I busted out laughing when I saw the song right before the sex. Thinking "this has to be the most out of context song ever for sex" for context here is the song, since the link is broken in the story

https://m.

And also context on who Armstrong is?

Senator Steven Armstrong is the main villain of metal gear rising and is known as one of the most popular metal gear characters, despite showing up plum fuck out of nowhere at the end of the game. He's basically a Uber patriotic who wants to become president to reshape America into a dawinist utopia, where everyone can fight and kill for what they believe in (he was also compared to trump because Armstrong did say make America great again, but that was coincidence since Reagan coined the phrase)

I meant the pigeon thing.

Oh....well egg on my face then

I just though to listen to that song. To be honest, I never listen to music in anyone's stories. I love it! It sounds like early 2000's nu-metal but it's actually done right and doesn't make me cringe.

i love it. fits the characters for armstrong and raiden well
