I know I promised a new Firefly chapter first for New Years, and then this weekend, but it remains not quite ready. What's taking so long, you ask? Well, an image is worth 1000 words:

The new Firefly chapter is coming along nicely at this point, with 5700 words down and my writing proceeding fluidly--which believe me, does not always happen. It's always nice when it does, though. The working title is Redemption and Retreat, and will open with a section written from the point of view of a pony not heard from yet in this story--Blindside. Depending on how quickly I get it done, including making musical selections and some additional graphics in addition to
Target release date is Xmas day for the currently-6k word chapter. Be advised that this is heavily gay human/griffon action, though there’s certainly teasers for other types of action thrown in. No preview possible because there’s no part of this chapter that’s not M-rated. This is probably as close as I get to actual ‘drumfire’ clop, folks.
Or even sooner if all prereads are in and everybody’s happy, most notably the original commissioner. After reading what I had, he asked me to extend the main sensual scene further, so I did, adding another 1800 words to it. Now waiting for his input, and that of prereaders, who have promised to get to the story today. In the meantime, I’ve readied the story for launch:
The end is in sight, both on this software release for my day job and the new chapter of C&C I've been promising for a month. With regards to the latter, I finally settled on showing three new perspectives—Giraldi, Tribune Cipio, and his aide, Optio Virgo—and limiting the chapter to those, as any more than that would overwhelm the reader and already had overwhelmed the author.
WARNING - This chapter is, for a lack of a better word, saucy...
I'm about 7k through chapter 4 give or take a few hundred words. It's went places that I definitely didn't expect I'd get to, but its definitely nearer to a climax point for the chapter. This continues to be fun to write but boy everytime I do cute stuff in this story like the next chapter has to have like a dark moment that just kind of blindsides me out of nowhere. Thanks brain lol.
Sorry for the delay. Was waiting for final prereads to come in, and I’ve been sick this past week with what might have been the norovirus due to symptoms I’d rather not mention.
Yep! Commencement! So have a chapter! Last extra one for a while.
If you were wondering, Master's of Science in Sociology.
Chapter 1 has just released along with the new release schedule. You can go find both on the Alone's story page, enjoy!
Okay, just because I'm such a nice guy, and I've just finished plotting out the basic story for it, I'm releasing the basic premise for my own Canterlot Wedding story now titled "Aftermath (And all the things that come with it)" , that's been fully fleshed out. Here you go:
Well, folks... I promised a graphics teaser for the new Firefly chapter, so here it is:
And very heavily guest-written. There will be one section by me, one by AJ_Aficionado, and one by Denim_Blue, each highlighting a different race/faction who will shortly have to choose sides in the war. And since I can't resist despite earlier saying there wouldn't be one, here's a teaser...

Got 2 out of 3 prereads in at this moment, both positive. That means the chapter will launch either tonight or tomorrow morning, tipping the scales at 9k words. Two sex sections and two non, with the latter being seen from Sunset’s perspective on her entry into the castle and first meeting with a curse-corrupted Twilight.
So someone asked if my latest story Valhalla was my only focus now, and if I had dropped my other stories.
I want to make clear that no, my other stories are not dropped. However I will admit to have grown a bit tired, not of my stories, but just of being stuck. I needed something new to get into writing, and I really wanted to release something new to get pumped about writing again. It has helped, as I have been able to write a lot lately.
Readers! I’ve got a real treat for you today! As you may have heard, Axtara – Banking and Finance is getting a cover at last. And no, it is not the featured image for this post. That was an amusing mock-up which, to some of you, will explain a post title from earlier this week.
I haven't actually started the next chapter yet, having taken a week off from writing following the last one. As much as I enjoyed telling the story of our birdy boi Perry, it was also quite draining, and in the end I needed to step back from clop for a bit to recharge.
Not quite a record time for turning out a new chapter, but close. Weighing in at around 8500 words, it was a scene and sequence I'd been wanting to do for a very long time, and certainly one I'd been hyping here for quite a while. There will be no teaser, and it's possible it will released tonight as I get prereads in and edits finished. Just need some additional music selections, and we're good to go!
Alright, the two new chapters, both a part of the Sunrise Section, are now available for the viewing! Massive thanks to Skyward Sword for giving me his feedback and general thoughts on the story!
There are going to be further chapter releases per week, so stay tuned to see where it's headed!
