I'm sure everyone has an opinion on what I should write next as we go forward into the New Year. On the one wing, I just left Firefly off on a massive cliffhanger after introducing a major new character, who will become the face of the Equestrian Army during the war. On the other, Midnight Rising remains to be updated, and I know my newest followers are anxious for news about when I'll be

I think I've figured things out for the issue I mentioned in the last blog post, though this chapter will only represent the first part of the setup for what is coming. Currently coming in at 9632 words, the chapter will launch as soon as prereads are in and I can make some musical selections. In the meantime, have a preview, told from Firefly's perspective:

EAS Loyalty
Cloudsdale
Central District Airship Anchorage

On the next Nightmare Night chapter, as motivation to write has been lacking of late due to a variety of reasons, both professional and personal. Nevertheless, it's coming along bit by bit. To this point, I've finished about 2500 words and close to two sections of it, but the primary two sections regarding the battle between Night Owl and Shadowdash remains to be written.

It had not been my intention to immediately start work on the M-rated side story to Feathered Hearts, following in the wingbeats of Demon Eyes Laharl's own M-rated side story Feathered Heart: Preening. But my prereaders, to say nothing of my very muse, all but demand it, and it does seem to be coming to me (no pun intended) fairly readily right now. There are just too many ideas for scenes I want to get down, and my production team has been full of thoughts and ideas for this as

The next Nightmare Night chapter is well underway at already 4000 words long with one section completed. I'm aiming for a release within a week, and this next entry will be all about Luna. It is my intention to take her to the very edge of temptation and conversion to see if she can withstand it, having a lot of fun along the way. By direct request of Redmar--who I thank greatly for always commenting on each chapter--we'll also be checking in with Twilight's old classmates (Lemon Hearts,

Well, folks, I’ve been writing a lot over the past week, but I’ve been splitting my attention between the next Midnight Rising chapter and Feathered Hearts. The former was coming frustratingly slowly as I couldn’t seem to find the correct angle for it, while the latter was coming quite quickly. I was working on the next main story chapter and thought it might be ready within days.

As my surgery pain fades, my libido surges, so it’s time for me to keep a promise and return to the Unleash the Magic series in the leadup to Halloween anniversary of Nightmare Night. And that means, both it and Midnight Rising are going to be worked on almost exclusively over the next several weeks.

Well, folks--it’s almost time. For those who are curious, I’m getting a midline glossectomy tomorrow to reduce the size of my tongue, and thus, its blockage of my airway during sleep. And yes, it’s every bit as fun as it sounds.

I’m happy to say the pain is slowly subsiding, and with it, the need for painkillers, though I still need a modicum of them to eat anything more than a protein shake. I made some spaghetti and meat sauce yesterday and ate it rather gingerly, in very small pieces. Might have been a mistake because my throat felt raw and inflamed afterwards, probably from the acid in the tomatoes.

To the Memorial Day launch of Feathered Hearts: Eros, and I now have no less than six side story chapters ready to go--which was my targeted minimum for launch, along with a new main story chapter to help direct readers to the side story. I have until then to finish more side story chapters, and I will indeed target having 1-2 more chapters finished in time. This should mean there's plenty of material available for both the initial launch of ~3 chapters, and for daily releases of

It’s amazing what a little time off can do for your creative juices. I have a couple rounds of editing and need to make two or three minor maps in Photoshop before it’s fully ready, but ready it will be for launch this evening. Hopefully that will be a good way for readers to start their weekends.

Welcome to milestone blog #500! I’ve now been on Fimfiction for nine years...

Into writing the next Nightmare Night chapter, which is already 2k words long and growing. it's possible, if unlikely, it'll be ready for release this weekend, but a more likely timeframe would be the middle of next week. As promised, this one will shift scenes back to Canterlot to our converted thestralcorn friends in their assault on the Canterlot Castle Command Center, followed by the intervention of Luna herself. Funtimes are promised, and this should be a four-section chapter, with

Titled When Friendships Falter, AJA and I have completed collaboration on it. It’s now in the hands of our other two prereaders, Silentwoodfire and Silverblade5.

What this means is it will launch as scheduled on September 1st, and it currently musters a healthy 10.3k words. It’s time to hear from the Highborne again, and learn what happens when an equally infuriated Fell Flight and Firefly come to blows over Gavian and Thunderbolt. Here, have a teaser:

To give my prereaders more time to hit it. In the meantime, you are invited to reread the previous chapter (”10: Pinkified Dragonessess v2”), as I finally went back and made some long-promised changes and enhancements to it. Back during its initial release, commenter MSie95 suggested at the time that the dragon females needed a bit more description and variety:

It’s a big boi, currently coming in at just shy of 12k words as I bring the bonus material back in for a soft landing to merge it with the original material. This means long-awaited awakenings, revelations, continued intrigue, and coping against a backdrop of an ongoing crisis with the Russian Federation Ibexian Ascendancy.

The last Harmonic Resonance ascension chapter involving Sci-Twi is finally starting to take shape, though I’m finding I have to feel my way through it more than most. The last chapter came to me so quickly, and yet this one isn’t coming fast at all.

Lock and load, and ready your heavy weapons, folks. A fresh chapter of Feathered Hearts - C&C is on the way within days. I find the words for it coming a lot more readily than Harmonic Resonance, whose climactic chapter remains unfinished at a whopping 16k words and is very likely at this point to be broken up again. But I’ll address that separately, as C&C appears to be giving me the break from HR I need.

Because I’m ill. I started getting sick last Monday and by Wednesday I was down hard with a severe cold. Not COVID, and not the flu, but maybe it was that RSV thing that’s been going around. I’ve only been slowly getting better, taking two and a half sick days off from work, but sleeping has been an apnea-filled adventure at times with my nose so stopped up, and my energy has been very low. As a result, despite all the time off, I haven’t been writing much.

Sorry for the dearth of blog entries of late, and for my online friends, sorry to be scarce. The reason is that I remain rather moody right now, perhaps due to a higher-than-normal testosterone dose that seems to have thrown me for a bit of a loop. I asked for it as an experiment, but maybe it’s just too much of a good thing. Also not helping is continuing difficulties at work, though I’m pleased to report that the release I’ve been working on for well over a month was finally performed
