Punched out a full chapter draft in three days. Awaiting prereads, then it will go live. But this time, I'm not going to give you a chapter preview.

Reservations are made for Las Vegas next week (I only wish it was Las Pegasus!). I'll be staying at Harrah's on the strip for six nights, leaving crack of dawn Sunday and returning Saturday to get my fill of poker, good food, and other vices. A couple people have requested updates on my play while I'm there, so I'll be posting regular blog updates while I'm there. Win or lose, I'll share.

Within the next few days, most likely, and we will follow up with a second one soon. As we're at a proper point for it, these will be interlude chapters, telling the backstory of two future Bolt Knights, one directly and one indirectly. Who, you may ask...?

Work is still a pain, but a bit more manageable right now. I regret my current moodiness is still no good to write clop, but it's perfect for writing a war fic. As a result, change of plans--I've begun work on a new Rise of Firefly chapter that will be up next. Currently 6,000 words and growing; look for it to be posted this weekend or sooner, depending, so prereaders stand by. It just notched its 100th like, so it seems appropriate to release a new chapter in commemoration as well.

I updated the two Order of Battle bonus chapters with additional information about the Office of Owls, Ravens, Red Talons and even a blurb on Princess Celestia herself. Minor changes only, all in the auxiliary units sections. Also modified the fight

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

New dialogue, new expansions, a new scene, and new musical accompaniments thanks to James CyberLink. I simply felt that the original version of the chapter had two issues--first, Windshear's explanations weren't quite believable, and second, there was little explanation of how Firefly bridged the gap between not being able to beat Windshear and then doing so. I wanted to explore her training in more depth and make clear that Firefly is very much Windshear's creation, that her skill as a warrior

Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly notched its 50th like last night and is still pitching a shutout. Had a couple good spurts of new readership of late, and it seems to finally be gaining some traction. I thought about marking the occasion with something fifty-related, but what is there with fifty in it other than Fifty Shades of Grey? XP

Well, by coincidence, this is my 50th blog, so I guess that's covered.

Hey folks. As per my now-customary story rotation of working on a new chapter of Five Star Service, The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly in turn, the Firefly story is getting a new chapter next.
