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.
It’s going to be draft complete by tonight at what I'm guessing will be somewhere around 11k words, at which point it's off to prereaders following one initial editing pass. But as so often happens in my writing, the chapter got too big for its wingboners and I couldn't put everything I wanted into it without doubling the length. I suppose I could do that, but as my general clopfic philosophy remains that heavy M-rated chapters should be careful not to do too much at once, the griffon chapters
Though I’ve been tempted in the past to do joke chapters of my more serious stories for April Fools Day, when it comes down to it, my writing talents simply don’t include effectively pulling off that kind of parody. In fact, the only author I ever knew who was good at that kind of humor was the long-gone and still-lamented Denim_Blue. I asked him once or twice if he could write an April Fools Day prank chapter of Firefly as a guest author of sorts, but he declined and then eventually
We're reaching the last stretch ! Moon stupidity will continue and the genocide of characters will start soon and hopefully, I'll get through it without issue. I hope I'll be able to convey as best as I can why things are the way they are and how I feel about them. In any case, let us dance for one of the final times.
Let's go !
Well, folks... work is finally easing, and if all goes well, you’re going to see two chapters from me in the next two days. Firefly is nearly ready except for the songs and graphics, which I’m still working on, but I’ll share the base map of Harness Hill here:
It seems I have friends in high places, because StraightToThePointStudio (also on Fimfiction) was requested to do a reading of the first chapter of DayBreak, "Hurricane!"
Hey, folks. Just a quick note (okay, not-so-quick) to let everyone know that the next chapter of Midnight Rising launches this evening, following one more editing pass. Prereader response is generally good so far, though I’m still waiting on two at this point. And I’m already 8000 words into my next writing assignment, which is a new chapter of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles.
I’m forced to break one chapter into two, because it got too big. The next Feathered Hearts chapter was already well over 17k words and probably on its way to 20k, which is a lot more than I typically allow in a single entry. It also had a natural breakpoint mid-chapter, so I elected to make use of it. This means you will be getting not one, but two new Feathered Hearts chapters in short order, each around 10.5k words each.
Though after the intense writing effort I put into the latest entry of Eros—I put a ton of work in on it, so if you read it, please comment, folks! —I’ll probably wait a day or two before starting the new chapter of Nightmare Night to try to recharge mentally.
It’s with prereaders now, delayed by my workload, which has resulted in nearly 40 extra hours worked over the past two and a half weeks--and I damn well better get some comp time for that! Unfortunately, even when prereaders finish with the new chapter, it’s not ready yet--I still have to make some graphics and do song selections for it, which will take some time. So I ask your indulgence for a little longer. It may be a week, or it may be less, but the new chapter release is coming.
And I thank my prereaders profusely, including most especially AJ_Aficionado, for pointing out a couple glaring issues I had to address. As I have now done so, and the chapter has received a resounding stamp of approval from AJA and others, I’m going to launch it tonight instead of tomorrow. Happy Halloween, folks! 🎃 Hopefully this will be both a trick and a treat.
I'm going to attempt my first-ever story commission. It will be M-rated and Equestria Girls-based, involving the one-by-one ascension of each of the Humane 6 to the same kind of Goddess form like Daydream Shimmer. M-rated because the ascensions themselves will be a very... sensual process.
On Feathered Hearts. I say that because this latest chapter has been coming a lot slower than the previous ones, and I’m having trouble focusing on it. Perhaps it’s just time for me to set FH aside for a bit after the massive amount of content I’ve generated for it over the past few months—120,000 words between C&C and Eros? I mean, I pretty much wrote an entire novel in a four-month time frame.
Sorry for the dearth of info lately, but I’ve been busy with some not entirely pleasant stuff, whose nature I will not divulge. But here’s where my stories stand right now. I’m tagging this Midnight Rising only because it’s first in line for release; I really wish they’d allow us to tag more than one story in blog posts at once.
But I’ll get to that in a second. First, I’d like to once again warmly welcome new readers to the story, and thank everyone who gave feedback. There were plenty of posts along with a lot of discussion and even some outright debate in the comment section. All I ask with regards to the latter is to please keep it civil.
I apologize, folks, but you’re going to have to wait a bit for new content. The reason is that there’s been a lot of not-entirely-pleasant stuff happening to me of late, including a long road trip and a minor medical procedure that took up two days of my time—one that required first fasting and ingesting half a gallon of a very unpleasant substance followed by a lot of sitting. 
Work has picked up as well, and as a result, I’ve had neither much time nor emotional energy to write
The delay is to give at least one more prereader time to catch up and fully review it. It’s more or less ready except for a second editing pass and tweaks, including one final addition for another prereader who requested it.
And sorry to be a broken record about it, but I’ve had a very stressful few weeks both at work and at home I won’t go into further here. Maybe later. The story chapter is part of the stress, given it keeps growing as large as Queen Molyneux as she rises to challenge the Dragon Lord.
