When the statue of Discord disappears from Canterlot Castle, Celestia asks The Doctor and his companion Derpy to track it down before the Chaos god is freed. But what shadow from The Time Charger's past is it that set these events in motion?
As promised, here’s a teaser for the new chapter, which is about half done. I could actually break it off right where I am, but I won’t this time. This will be another double-sized chapter to describe the final escape from Epsilon, and all the myriad battles that happened within it. Duels, sharp fights, and naval action will be the order of the day, and you’ll get to see our Naval bridge crew and commanders in combat for the first time.
Well, it's been 10 days since The Lawyer and The Unicorn (T-rated version) was released, and the response to it has been extremely tepid at best. To this point, in fact, it's underperformed even my low expectations, garnering less than six comments and an even worse upvote-to-downvote ratio than TLaTU-M. I wasn't expecting a blockbuster performance by a T-rated rerelease of an already-completed M-rated story, but I also didn't think that readers would be so few.
Dear readers & writers
Act 1 Part 2 officially begins today, july 13 2017 on my birthday. Yes todays my birthday, no their are no parties in chapter and the story takes a darker path here. So prepare for spoilers, foreshadowing, cliff hangers and most of all references to some of my favorite shows.
Side note: I'll release the chapter about noon where i live, just wanted to get this out of the way.
The next Firefly chapter is well on the way, but even at 8300 words written is not coming quickly. The last three chapters, I found, pretty much wrote themselves as I was doing scenes I'd envisioned for a while. This time? I'm trying to thread a very difficult plot needle and so far I haven't succeeded, either according to myself or the one prereader who has looked at it. Without giving away the game, this has turned into a Fell Flight-centric chapter that's trying to set something up;
But it needs to be perfect before I hit the publish button. Reaction to the previous chapter has made very clear I have to absolutely nail this next one to validate it and address some of the concerns people have raised. Current plans are to release tomorrow, Monday the 24th, which is Memorial Day--a time to recognize fallen soldiers as well as officially kick off the summer cookout season--here in the USA. Memorial Day should be a fitting day for a new Firefly chapter release.
Apologies for not checking in earlier as I promised. To make a long story short, the surgery happened on time and went off without a hitch; I was sent home a few hours later with a stack of gauze and medical tape to catch the seemingly endless drainage. It also hurt, but it turned out I didn’t need more than a couple pills of hydrocodone when all was said and done.
I have an actual vacation on the way after a full month of extra hours. It’s been approved for next week, and I plan to do little but decompress and catch up on chores. Actual travel will be limited to maybe a day at the beach.
Who should help teach her? (It's not Rainbow Dash if that's what you're thinking.)
After a work-enforced two weeks away from writing, I’m finally on a weeklong vacation, and the result has been rapid progress on the next Firefly chapter, now at 6500 words and growing quickly. Though I’m uncertain of its final length, there’s a very good chance you’re going to see it launched on or before the weekend. Prereaders, stand by.
0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious, hurts to watch, a bore, no reason to watch him/her, whatever positive things about him/her are tiny and not enough)
2/10 - VERY BAD (slightly less terrible, maybe there were one or two things you liked kept him/her from being a 1 but still very painful)
... after putting 100,000 words in on my other works. The Lawyer and the Unicorn has turned into a decent hit given its subject matter, and I just launched a new story yesterday called Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly.
With the M-rated Lawyer and The Unicorn side story/follow-on now finished, would there be interest in a T-rated version of the 12-chapter trial that occurs in the middle of it? Called "The Heart's Turnabout", it settles the question once and for all of whether what Twilight and Phoenix feel for each other is real. The premise is that following a fight with Phoenix, Twilight is the victim of an attempted dreamtime possession by The Nightmare, the same entity that once possessed Princess Luna and
A couple weeks ago, I asked if folks would be interested in a T-rated version of The Heart's Turnabout, the trial that takes place during The Lawyer and The Unicorn. I got just three yeas, which was marginal for doing it, while others told me it wasn't worth it.
I’ve been meaning for some time to air some musings on a matter that I’ve always found to be puzzling. The topic is an opinion I’ve seen expressed by a number of intellectuals and artists, most of whom I respect. It is that religion causes wars. As most religions are touted as means of establishing peace, assertions to the contrary are interesting and warrant investigation.
So, here's a news flash. Inspired by Japanese myth, and coming in with a bang, I present to you...
Storms and Shadows.
The Cutie Map has a new request from Twilight, and the rest of the Elements. A land deal in Neighpon has gone sour, and the Elements must fix it. Only, it's not that simple. What originally starts as a friendship problem turns into a adventure spanning the realm of mortals and spirits alike. Plus...Ninjas.
Lots and lots of ninjas.
My version of Midnight Storm from the witching hour!
It's a really good fanfic and I would really recommend reading it! ^.^
... to the comments on the last Firefly chapter yet. But work is a royal mother-of-a-diamond-dog right now, and I've been coming home late and exhausted night after night, in no mood to do anything. I will get to them this weekend, promise. My vacation can't come soon enough at this point; I'll be off to a week or two in Las Pegasus Vegas to get my fill of poker and the desert after Memorial Day. Who knows, maybe I'll run into Aces Up and Double Down (from Five Star
