Midnight Rising chapter 16 draft complete · 10:43pm Feb 25th, 2023

It’s with prereaders now, weighing in at 14k words. Unfortunately, it turned out I couldn’t put in everything I wanted to without the chapter length approaching around 25k words, which is way too much for a clopfic IMO. But I found a convenient breakpoint (which, me being me, means another cliffhanger!) So there will be one more chapter to close out the griffie goodness of the story and complete the setup for the climax of Nightmare Night.

Finished chapter draft of Eros at last! · 8:34pm Jul 10th, 2023

It’s been fun, but also an ordeal at times to write, folks. I’m pleased to say that it’s not only finished, but that the first prereader review is already in and quite positive—thanks, AJ_Aficionado! I’ll be aiming for a Thursday night release; expect it to be around 11k words.

C&C part 36 in prereads - teaser available · 3:56pm May 22nd, 2023

There’s good news and bad news. The good news is you’re going to be getting another 12k word entry soon. The bad news is I elected to break it up again, to get it out before I go on vacation. So there will be one final trailing part to this now not-so-mini story arc, whose contents will be obvious once you read the end of the new chapter.

Iceland beckons... · 10:01pm Oct 16th, 2023

I’ll be going on vacation there in two days. And though I hoped to maybe finish a chapter of Feathered Hearts—which currently sits at around 14.7k words and is likely to be broken up again for the length it’s reaching—I’m not going to be able to. Too much on my plate, and I need to be able to relax for a bit.

Feathered Hearts - Eros: Introduction · 1:38pm May 31st, 2021

Greetings to all readers, both new and returning! Welcome to Feathered Hearts - Eros. It's become of a bit of a habit for me to write introductory blogs for new stories, especially ones I worry might cause some eyebrows to raise for one reason or another. This is very much one of them, given it's based on what was originally another author's story.

Who is the author and what is the story?

1/24/2022 Update for Feathered Hearts and Harmonic Resonance · 3:00pm Jan 24th, 2022

Well, folks, two new chapters of the Feathered Hearts main and side stories are in progress, with the former just started and the latter in prereads, aiming for a Wednesday evening release. Sorry for the delay, given I really did want to get it done in time for publishing on Sunday morning. But the reason is that quite simply, the new Eros chapter is one of the longest clop chapters I’ve ever written, topping the scales now at 12,700 words. I had to work all weekend on it just to

Midnight Rising/Feathered Hearts update + Feathered Hearts unused scene · 4:24pm Aug 30th, 2023

I have two releases targeted for September. One is a second chapter of Midnight Rising. The other, Feathered Hearts fans will be happy to know, is a fresh chapter of Continuation and Chronicles. Feels about time to write it.

Not a bad showing for a story that breaks the rules of most successful Fimfiction clopfics, for a) not being about the Mane 6, b) not involving ponies, and c) not being a second-person, anon-based futa or anthro fic; never mind the fact that I was borrowing another author’s story and characters for its basis. Then again, I already did that in Five Star Service and The Lawyer and The Unicorn, which were also quite successful over time, so that’s a good or bad habit of mine

Eros and Personal Update... · 3:33pm Jun 12th, 2023

Haven’t given an update on Eros in a while. The short of it is that I did resume work on the new chapter over the past few days to the tune of getting it up to nearly 4,000 words, but was only able to write it in fits and starts given I’m still recovering from this illness.

Now 30,000 words written on C&C... · 4:25pm Dec 8th, 2023

And as a result, the originally planned climactic chapter is going to have to be broken into thirds to keep the chapter size manageable. But for all that, I still don’t quite have a finished chapter pulled together, whether part 1, 2 or 3, though part 1 is close and should hopefully be off to prereaders this evening. The main issue is that I’ve got lots of individual sections and scenes written, but piecing them together and making the progression and escalation of events make sense is giving

Another Mea Culpa on Midnight Rising · 8:27pm Dec 12th, 2023

Well, folks, it appears that I laid an egg with the last release of Midnight Rising, which was supposed to wrap the Griffon Kingdom side arc. I received not one, but two critical comments on it, with the latest coming just in the past couple weeks.

Plans for Cloptober · 3:12pm Sep 29th, 2022

As I put the final touches on the Harmonic Resonance epilogue—it will launch tonight, and if you’d like to see what the resulting personality might look like if Twilight and Midnight Sparkle merged, check out the opening section—it’s time to turn our attention to Autumn, to Halloween... and at long last, back to my long-languishing Unleash the Magic stories.

From Cloptober to Novembare · 9:03pm Nov 1st, 2022

Well, that was a good and productive October, folks. I did everything I said I would, coming out with two new chapters of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles, two of Midnight Rising, and one of Nightmare Night. So I’m going to try to keep the momentum going into November.

C&C M-rated Updates... update · 4:26pm Nov 6th, 2022

To make a long story short: Five updated chapters (10-14) are now in prereads, and given the amount of text involved, I’ve given my prereaders a full week to work on them. A sixth updated chapter is nearly done (22: Know Thy Ally) and a seventh is planned (25: Battle of Bale, Part 1) by the time we’re ready to go.

Nightmare Night Chapter 38 draft complete · 3:12pm Jan 19th, 2023

It's now with prereaders with the working title of Agni Kai, for its Avatar - The Last Airbender-inspired firebending battle—though that's far from the only thing it references. It's currently coming in at just shy of 16k words, meaning it'll probably be over 17k by the time I'm through with editing passes and all the additional detail I usually add.

In some pain... · 3:56pm Jul 16th, 2022

Thanks to what I think is severe tendonitis in my elbow due to excessive weightlifting, for which I’m seeing an orthopedist. Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop me from typing, so my writing continues. As promised previously, I’ll be moving right along into the final ascension chapter of Harmonic Resonance involving the human Twilight, which I plan to finish within a week. In fact, I want to finish off the entire story, including the concluding post-ascension chapter, by

'Twas the night before FH:E release... · 2:00am May 31st, 2021

And it would be a lie to say I don't feel some anxiety over it. Still some work to do, from writing the Author's Notes to the introductory blog. It's been a six-week journey coming to an end tomorrow... or maybe it's only beginning. How, I can't help but wonder, will it be received? You just never know. It might be a huge hit--you don't see much griffon/human action on site, so this could certainly be filling a neglected niche--or it could end up flopping and doing damage to the main story in

Next Midnight Rising chapter launches Thursday night · 7:15pm Sep 26th, 2023

I’m waiting a couple more days to give the rest of my prereaders more chance to hit it. Be warned that I did decide to break up the chapter again, so you’ll essentially be getting part 1 of Queen Moly vs Dragon Lord Vesuvius with a lot of additional commentary—and a major revelation or two—from the Humane 6 peanut gallery as Sunset continues to tell the tale.
