But it will probably be a few more days yet. Currently sitting at 10k+ words, but the chapter is only about 2/3rds done. It's tentatively titled The Attorney and The Earth Pony, which, yes, is a deliberate play on the title of a certain other story I do.

Sorry to disappear for the past few weeks. My update is that work is a royal pain the flank right now, and I'm not finding much time or emotional energy to write at the moment. Work continues--slowly--on the climactic Firefly chapter for the Battle of Outpost Epsilon, and after that, as promised, I'll shift over to Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night for a couple chapters. Work, unfortunately, is not likely to let up for at least several weeks, and after that, I'll be looking

After an unpleasant couple weeks of work, I've got a three day weekend to unwind and take advantage of. Here's my writing schedule to come, in order of priority:

1. Unleash the Magic:

Thanks to the long weekend, the next Unleash the Magic: Midnight Rising chapter draft should be finished by Monday or sooner, and will be posted as soon as it passes prereaders. Needless to say, I think you all know what happens next...

2. The Lawyer and The Unicorn

I'm going to take a break from my usual story rotation schedule for at least a couple weeks. There are two reasons for this. First, I think my prolific pace this year has finally been catching up with me a bit. I've been sensing a measure of burnout, particularly around writing clop. The next chapter of The Lawyer and The Unicorn is a major adult chapter, and I don't want to write it until I feel I can do it justice. Similarly, as happy as I was with the bulk of the last Five Star

Well, folks... I'm calling the latest and craziest TLaTU chapter a success. Three new likes, and TLaTU part 37 was certainly a popular chapter by read count. It's been very well-received thus far--doubly so for it being the wildest thing I've written yet! I have to admit I had some trepidation about how well it would go over, but it turned out I needn't have worried. I was also pleasantly surprised by how eager folks seemed for the ending, even after everything that had already come. I knew

August comes, and as promised a couple months ago, I've been working on my anthro novel, though I've found the going much slower and harder than I would like. I'm stuck at one place in particular right now that's giving me fits. I'm finding it hard, unfortunately, to slip back into the mindset that writing this kind of anthro fiction requires and re-immerse myself in this world I created several years ago. I can only hope that will

Greetings, Turnabout Storm readers from your former editor and new story author. For those who did not see my blog post from yesterday, Raven Regios has passed ownership of Turnabout Storm to me. Why? For the very best possible reason: she's eight months pregnant, expecting in February!

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.

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.

It’s with prereaders now, delayed by my workload, which has resulted in nearly 40 extra hours worked over the past two and a half weeks--and I damn well better get some comp time for that! Unfortunately, even when prereaders finish with the new chapter, it’s not ready yet--I still have to make some graphics and do song selections for it, which will take some time. So I ask your indulgence for a little longer. It may be a week, or it may be less, but the new chapter release is coming.

Before I talk about the edits, I have a couple of facts for you. This story peaked at number 1 featured story for a short period of time between 1 and 2 PM and 3 PM-4 PM US Central Time on 2/19/21. The second is that this story has accrued more upvotes than any other story I have posted since 15th September 2015. How long ago was that? Let me give you a list to help me explain:

- The United States president was Barack Hussein Obama.

Well, folks... Midnight's vengeance is complete! Hope you enjoyed the ride! You know what's coming next, but not right away. There are a couple things I have to get to first, including an editing job/rewrite of a friend's story and adding a new chapter to one of my other existing works.

The latest chapter release of Five Star Service was, by most measures, a success. It featured for a couple hours for the first time in perhaps a dozen chapters, and gained nine faves for it. However, it also picked up three downvotes, which never happened on a single chapter save the first. That's the problem with featuring; it gets your more notice but you risk more downvotes as well... and downvotes tend to affect your story rating much more than upvotes.

I'm 5,000 words into the new chapter, and it'll probably be at least 15,000 before all is said and done for the penultimate action at Epsilon. I'll have to consider breaking it up into multiple chapters if gets much bigger than that.

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.

I’m pleased to say the latest Firefly chapter was very well-received, so I’m going to officially say that I did Denim_Blue’s changeling lore and characters proud. Queen Lepidoptes has basically turned into the anti-Chrysalis as far as Changeling Queens go, so I’m now making plans to bring her descendant-led hive into Feathered Hearts.
