Hey folks--if you're missing your Five Stars fix while waiting for the next chapter, you're invited to check out A Gentleman in Training by Denim Blue. It's a very involved story about a group of human friends undergoing Gentleman orientation and boot camp, and builds on a lot of the stuff described in Five Star Service. The latest chapter, titled The Mare Behind The Mask, has a guest appearance by

Thank you, Haseo55! And to mark the occasion... for those of you who were worried about the next and somewhat penultimate chapter of Five Star Service being delayed from its planned Nightmare Night release:

The chapter draft is complete and stands at just north of 13,000 words. I will be turning loose this fully armed and operational chapter as soon as I have all prereader feedback in.

The new chapter of Five Star Service now stands at 8800 words and will likely be over 12,000 before all is said and done--a double-length chapter for the most important chapter of her life. All the princesses will be there, and you'll at last meet her first human... which readers of a certain DEL work (*cough*Changeling Roun*cough*) should already know the identity of anyway. It's looking good so far and I think everyone's going to love it. I'm aiming for a Halloween release.

For readers of Five Star Service and especially Feathered Heart, I offer up this excerpt of the latest chapter of Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly, which draws heavily on Feathered Heart lore. Set seven hundred years in Equestria's past, this is the story of the Pony/Gryphon War told through the eyes of Firefly, Rainbow Dash's

In the space of ten days, I've completed another three-story cycle of Five Star Service, The Lawyer and the Unicorn, and Rise of Firefly. New chapters were written and released for each in that time, and now I'm back at the cycle start again, on

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

A clopfic one-shot edited by yours truly, it's pure fetish fuel, but if you're into things like futa and tentacles, corruption and transformation, check out Fertile Ground, the story of what happened to the flower trio of Lily Valley, Roseluck and Daisy... on the day of Discord's return.

Awaiting a couple more prereads before posting. Be advised that the tone of this chapter is going to be... different. Expect it to be somewhat somber, in part a reflection of my current mood, in part planned for this point in the story... and in part a response to a very unexpected letter Five Stars receives.

... after putting 100,000 words in on my other works. The Lawyer and the Unicorn has turned into a decent hit given its subject matter, and I just launched a new story yesterday called Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly.

A modest milestone by the standards of some stories, but one that deserved marking... even though this week is all about the launch of my new M-rated Turnabout Storm side story, The Lawyer and the Unicorn.

For those readers of Five Star Service curious to see a sneak preview of this Kraken of a Ship Fic, you are invited to check out this blog entry:

I've completed initial drafts of the prologue and first full chapter of the Turnabout Storm side story, tentatively given a working title of The Lawyer and The Unicorn--it's nearly time for the Phoenix/Twilight ship to sail, or will be upon release of the last chapter of Turnabout Storm. There will be one more chapter readied by that time, at which point the story will be unleashed on an unsuspecting fandom. All I can think right now is this:

Hey folks! A belated Happy New Year from your friendly neighborhood Firesight!

Hey folks... hope your holidays are happy ones, wherever you are and whatever you celebrate. Plenty planned on this end as we head forward into the new year... though sadly, a New Years' Eve encounter with Braeburn in Las Vegas isn't likely to happen for real. Oh well...

Love you all. Plenty more Five Star Service, Turnabout Storm, and additional works to come. Thanks for following me and my stories, and may all your Xmases be bright.

The new chapter of FSS stands at about 4200 words right now. This one's been causing me more trouble than usual, trying to make it good and believable.

Clop is a funny thing. It's hard to write--or at least write well--unless I'm in the right mood for it, and that mood can't usually be induced. I know the direction I want the new chapter to go, and I know how it ends--hell, the ending is already written. It's getting there that's the real trick. Hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end.

The recent site update fucked up the formatting schemes I was using for chapter and section headers, so I'm going to have to go through the entire story and fix them. In the meantime, the story is best viewed against a light background. And to the site administrators, whatever happened to 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'? Turnabout Storm was affected even worse.

It was yesterday, actually, but deserves to be marked. My first solo ponies story has been both rewarding and frustrating, and there's probably another year to go on it. It's been a modest success by the standards of the Gentlemanverse, and it's been a slow trickle of new readers all the way, but I'm okay with that. The story of Five Stars needs to be told, and I'm just glad nobody else beat me to it.

I lost my desktop. And by 'lost', I mean I took a power surge that went right through my surge suppressor and fried everything. Power was apparently out for two hours on Saturday. I was out running errands, but when I came back... I found my clocks blinking and my system wouldn't turn on. Replaced the power supply, and all that happened was a momentary whirring sound from system fans and a couple lit LEDs on the motherboard.

Hey folks... been a while since I wrote a blog entry. For those who are curious, here's what's happening right now:

A milestone! A modest one by some standards, but one I'm happy to reach nonetheless. As a thank-you to all, the next Five Star Service chapter will be ready in a week or so.
