Not one, but two chapters near completion. The next chapter of Rise of Firefly is in prereading, and if all goes well, will be released tomorrow morning. Also, the new Unleash the Magic bonus chapter is nearly done; I expect to finish the full draft tonight. I will probably release them on different days, or at least a few hours apart so they don't compete with each other in the feature box, which they both tend to hit.

I know I promised a new Firefly chapter first for New Years, and then this weekend, but it remains not quite ready. What's taking so long, you ask? Well, an image is worth 1000 words:

For my last full day in Las Vegas, I sat down for a single playing session... that lasted nearly eleven hours. I played in the $375 deepstack at the new Aria casino resort about a mile south of Harrah's. How did I do? Here's the tournament board when I went out:

As Rise of Firefly nears its end, I'd like to note that yesterday marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, the turning point of WWII in the Pacific. Why do I mention this? Because there is going to be an analog to this battle in the next book of the Firefly trilogy. Yes, the much-maligned Royal Navy will get its chance to shine and incur a

I'm currently working on a new Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare chapter for Raven that is the story climax and may well be the story ending. The rewrite has been going off and in for well over a year now and it's time to conclude it. Those of you curious to see how pony strength, weather control and magic would do against modern human weapons and how the Mane 6 would react to an invasion of Ponyville by

Well, folks... some time ago I mentioned that there was a project to produce a voice-acted version of the first few chapters of Rise of Firefly. The project is nearing completion, and the first teaser trailer has just been released:

He's put a hell of a lot of work in on this, so give him a like and drop a comment if you can.

After two quick chapter releases. it’s once again a question of momentum--I have it, so let’s continue with it. Hope you folks enjoyed the two chapters in 5 days! Coming attractions? Well, for starters, the gryphons ready their renewed offensive while back in Cloudsdale, Typhoon isn’t done with Thunderbolt yet and engages in negotiations with the Nightborne on behalf of the Princess. If I’m particularly ambitious, It’ll be time for another map as well.

And I'm calling it a success, as it garnered nearly 50 likes, 100 tracks and 80+ comments... as well as featuring as an update at the end! I do wish it had been able to feature immediately as a new story, but that's a very tall order for a non-clopfic, non-one-shot AU war story that doesn't involve a single member of the Mane 6. Despite those handicaps, it did well, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. It's rare that a sequel outdoes the original, but thus far this one has!

... As I need a break from Nightmare Night. The next chapter will bounce back and forth between the pony and gryphon sides again, and generally foreshadow things to come, though there will be no direct combat this time. The Loyalty is on its way to thestral lands in search of the missing Cloudsdale, not knowing the reception from the thestrals they will receive.

I'd like to give a big shout-out and thank-you to Raven Regios, for commissioning a picture of me as a present, surprising me with it this past weekend. She said it was a gift and thank-you to me for all the help I'd given her stories. So thank you very much, Raven! This was very sweet and I appreciate it greatly! I like it a lot and have very happily made it my new Avatar.

Been one hell of a month for TLaTU, folks, with five chapters released. Now that we've completed the trial, what's left for the final few story chapters is setting the stage for the eventual sequel, and some simple if surprising funtimes--oh yes, some major and very sexy surprises in store! Be afraid, folks... those of you who read Unleash the Magic know how far I'm willing to go, and there *might* be such a scene to come...

Surprise, folks! I've just released a new Five Star Service chapter for your reading pleasure, showcasing Five Stars' remaining time with John, her first human lover. In it, reference is made to the following scene from my growing war epic Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly. I'm excerpting it here to show exactly what Five Stars was referring to in the opening section when she said she had to

Wish I had a new chapter to mark the occasion, but by coincidence I did release a new chapter of Rise of Firefly on the same day. Hard to believe it's been nearly two years since I started this, and the end is now in sight, around six or seven chapters away. It's been a long, slow climb to 200, but I've certainly gotten some help along the way, from DEL most notably--his advertising my story caused a surge of new readers in the spring, and his indulgence in letting me tell the story of

Welcome new readers! After a painfully slow initial climb, Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly hit the featured list the last two chapter releases and a slew of new likes, tracks and faves was the result. I'm gratified to see the story gaining traction now, and though it certainly had a rough start as I've had to go back in and make some major fixes to earlier chapters, I'm very happy with it now. This has been my favorite story to work on of late, and I actually wrote the last chapter
