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.

Midnight Rising:

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.

With regards to that debate...

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.

With a new chapter of Midnight Rising and the first M-rated entry of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles done—and I'm pretty sure the former influenced the latter given the ending scene I wrote for C&C!—my erotic writing efforts of October continue with a second Midnight Rising chapter.

An enormous milestone that the release of the companion story, Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night helped it reach. So a huge thank-you to all readers, both old and new! This is easily my most successful story, and one I immensely enjoyed writing. Yes, I have promised additional bonus features and a Shadowbolt-centered sequel, and be assured they are not forgotten. It seems unlikely I can get to the latter this year, but I will aim for late winter or spring of next.

After three months working more or less exclusively on it, Nightmare Night goes on a brief hiatus. Here's the full status on it plus future plans:

Seven side story chapters posted

I kept my promise to get two more Temptations & Transformations side story chapters posted this past week for seven total. With more content comes more likes; I picked up four new upvotes there over the past couple days.

I said before that the next Feathered Hearts main story chapter would cover the events of chapter 7 of the original story in its entirety. Unfortunately, the chapter got too big, and I’m not going to give readers a 17,000 word entry that’s basically an info dump instead of action. So I’m splitting it up. On the bright side, this means you’ll get two ~8500 word releases in a matter of days.

Well, with the latest Midnight Rising release in the rear view mirror—a warm welcome to new readers, and I’m still hoping to see a few more comments!—another new MR chapter is on deck; this one for Sour Sweet. With regards to her, I have to be honest—of all my original story chapters, hers was probably my least favorite.

Finally into my turkey week vacation and hoping I don’t get called back into work in advance of a weekend software release I’ve got some code in. I’ve got a slew of cleaning and painting chores to do around the house, and for fun, I plan to visit a local pistol and rifle range at least a couple times along the way after spending way too much money at a gun and knife show this past weekend. But I’ve also got two writing tasks in front of me, both having to do with Continuation and

The new Nightmare Night chapter is now well over 14k words and climbing as it's still not finished. I have one more sequence and transition to complete, which will likely leave this up over 16k words by the time all editing passes/prereads are done. That's on the verge of needing to be split up, but I'll try to avoid that, as I'd honestly prefer this epic battle of friends-turned-foes to be contained within a single chapter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With apologies, I tagged the wrong story when I first posted this blog, so I'm reposting it now under the right one. Previous version of the blog post was deleted.

The first of several chapters in the runup to Halloween is underway. As I've delayed it long enough, it's time for the resolution of the duel/mating round between Night Owl and Shadowdash, as well as advancing the story further over in Canterlot.

Also, I've just about decided to make a new bonus chapter for the original Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising, as the new chapter will reference a previously unseen event in it involving Rainbow and Gilda.
