    Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

    But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

    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

New Firefly chapter draft complete, but... · 9:37pm Jan 1st, 2021

I still need to do the graphics, find some suitable music, and do my customary two editing passes by listening to the chapter recited back to me using the site's narration function, of which I find the mobile version far more quick and tolerable. We will aim for a Saturday or Sunday release, and for those curious, the chapter has reached upwards of 11,000 words.

I would also like to give a warm welcome to all incoming readers who signed on to see me finish Demon Eyes Laharl's Feathered Heart, which, for those of you unaware, was one of the main inspirations for the griffons in this story. I'm shamelessly using DEL's griffon lore, including their societal and military structures for Firefly.

In fact Feathered Heart actually referenced the fact that there was a great war between ponies and griffons in the past. To make a long story short, the Firefly series describes that war. So for those of you awaiting Feathered Heart, which I will be starting into in the New Year, you are invited to check out my Firefly series. It'll hopefully both satisfy your craving for epic war stories as well as give you some sense of the writing abilities I'll be bringing to bear on DEL's military thriller masterpiece.

It just so happens that it's also canon to The Lawyer & The Unicorn, if I'm not misremembering that I saw it in there somewhere.

Whelp, this is one of those rare posts where I see multiple stories I am quite interested teased. I look forward to see what comes of the revival of Feathered Heart and of course more chapters of Into the Storm.

Yaas, much excited :yay:
It's really interesting to read this story, knowing the amount of work that you put into it.

Also, are you going to be posting new chapters for Feathered Heart on your profile, or did the admins give you access to the original? I'm just curious how it works to take over an abandoned story.
