An episode with "mane" in the title, and no Mane-iac? Step up your game, Hasbro.

So the impossible happened and there was a bluepost about a clopfiction contest. That's not something you see every day so I decided, sure why not? It's been ages since I've written anything and I need fresh inspiration. So I'm going to be entering a story with lesbian futanari centered around a pony I haven't really talked about before that I'd built concepts around way back in 2016 for my work on Foolers Rush In. No
To compensate for a depressing last couple chapters, a much happier one awaits with awards and other honors for all. Expect a surprise appearance by a barely-heard-from pony that may well have what it takes to truly humble Firefly. You will also see how gryphon war preparations are proceeding, including how they're going to counter pony weather control. Be warned that being the weather nerd I am, you might see me geek out on the subject. But hopefully the included graphics will make up for
Hopefully, anyway. It's not quite done yet. I have--I think--about 1-2k words left to write on a chapter that's already approaching 10k words. Major M-rated action ahead, folks, but no teasers or spoilers as to the who or what--it's the kind of chapter where I'd rather people come in cold and be surprised; get it full force. And for those who prefer the story plot to the other kind, don't worry--expect a surprise cameo, a decent amount of worldbuilding and character development,
This show produces way too many waifus.
(A song with her and the dazzlings would be actual perfection)
After working on the new Eros chapter for over a week but never finding it easy or enjoyable, I finally figured out why.
Make that two chapters, since the total length of what I’ve written is 22.5k words, and likely to be closer to 25k when all is said and done. Yep, this chapter just kept growing and growing. In the end, that’s way too big for a single clop chapter, and I have a natural breakpoint in the middle. So it is officially getting broken up, but at least that means you’ll be getting two new chapters in fairly short order.
My job is interfering, as well as worries over a couple troubled friends. The chapter is currently sitting at 11,326 words with at least 2-3k words more to go, meaning I was only able to put around 1800 words on it over the past week.
Hit 250 likes! Thank you, one and all!!!
But before that, I've decided that the last chapter was in fact too long and I'll thus be splitting it in half. Unfortunately, I can't do that without posting a new chapter even though it's not new content, so you will see that happen within the next few days. There'll be some tweaks, perhaps, but nothing too major will be changed with it as for the most part, I was quite happy with it. In hindsight, I should have broken it in two at the start and released the two chapters a week apart. 16k is
It had been my intention to shift over to Firefly after the last chapter, but I'm going to continue with Nightmare Night for two reasons: first and foremost, I find myself with momentum and a desire to continue it. And second? I got a lot more comments this time around. Thank you, one and all--it was appreciated and receiving so much favorable feedback gives me additional impetus to carry on with it.
So, now that I seem to have acquired a few more followers since "A Matter of Credit" was featured, I figure this is a good time to put up a blog post.
First off, upcoming stories and status updates on existing stories.
Well, having knocked all but one writing to-do item off my list for November, we move into December with yet another ambitious schedule. We're finishing off the TAS revamp, doing at least two new chapters for Unleash the Magic: Nightmare Night, and hopefully at least one for Flight of Firefly, as well as work on my anthro novel. In between all that, I also have a bunch of stuff to preread for several different people; I believe that list is now four authors and eleven chapters
You know what? Forget next week. I got on a roll, worked all day today and thus completed the next Firefly chapter, which will have undergone all its prereads by Sunday. And that means the chapter can launch tomorrow!
A teaser? Sure, why not. Here's a preview of one of Rock Biter's sections:
Equestrian Army Encampment
Rear Gate
Twelve miles southwest of Maresk, astride the road to Detrot
September 4th, 1139 AC
That I caught the coof and didn’t even know it.
Thank you one and all! Not bad for what was originally supposed to be a one-shot exercise in cutting loose. I haven't forgotten that I promised some bonus chapters and sequel, but I also need to keep promises to get two of my other regular stories completed first. Though I daresay this story had an effect on The Lawyer and The Unicorn as I incorporated a certain *ahem* story element from UtM into it...
Not a lot to say here. The big draw was of course the music, and god was it good.
The basics: AJ had a fillyfriend back in Friendship Camp that she knew as Rara, who apparently made it HUGE in pop music.
Except... her friend has gone full on diva now, as evidenced by Pinkie having to jump through many, many hoops to get her booked for a charity event.
It should be draft complete in a day or two, at which point I’ll pass it off to prereaders and the commissioner. Probably not soon enough for a weekend release, but we’ll see. Expect a three-section finale, with non-mature bookends and an M-rated middle section. And if you’d like something to look forward to, know that there’s an exchange of pranks between Gilda and Rainbow involving some of the alternate verses they saw.
Hey folks. Though it wasn’t my primary focus while trying to get the last main story chapter finished and published--I’m very pleased with how well it was received by the way; I actually had some trepidation over releasing it with some R-rated action--I’ve been working on Eros over the past several days as well. It’s now up to 5k words and will probably be in the neighborhood of 8k before all is said and done.
