Not a bad showing for a story that breaks the rules of most successful Fimfiction clopfics, for a) not being about the Mane 6, b) not involving ponies, and c) not being a second-person, anon-based futa or anthro fic; never mind the fact that I was borrowing another author’s story and characters for its basis. Then again, I already did that in Five Star Service and The Lawyer and The Unicorn, which were also quite successful over time, so that’s a good or bad habit of mine

Thanks to what I think is severe tendonitis in my elbow due to excessive weightlifting, for which I’m seeing an orthopedist. Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop me from typing, so my writing continues. As promised previously, I’ll be moving right along into the final ascension chapter of Harmonic Resonance involving the human Twilight, which I plan to finish within a week. In fact, I want to finish off the entire story, including the concluding post-ascension chapter, by

Thanks to all who read and a warm welcome to those who came aboard! Please comment, folks, as I’ve seen only one so far on the new Feathered Hearts chapter as of this blog post.

Though I’ve been tempted in the past to do joke chapters of my more serious stories for April Fools Day, when it comes down to it, my writing talents simply don’t include effectively pulling off that kind of parody. In fact, the only author I ever knew who was good at that kind of humor was the long-gone and still-lamented Denim_Blue. I asked him once or twice if he could write an April Fools Day prank chapter of Firefly as a guest author of sorts, but he declined and then eventually

For two reasons. First, the combined chapter keeps growing—now 21.2k words—and I’m finding it very mentally taxing to write. And second, part of the reason it’s taxing is I don’t have much mental energy to spare right now. Work is very difficult and stressful at the moment due to a Saturday deadline (that might get pushed back a week), and I’m coming home most nights frazzled and in no mood to do anything creative. Or be social online a lot of the time.

Hey folks. Thought everyone would be interested to know that I have gotten in touch with the Father of the Gentlemanverse Demon Eyes Laharl. Thanks goes to HorseWordFan for informing me that he had been active on FanFiction.net recently, posting and updating his first new story there since 2018

I still need to do the graphics, find some suitable music, and do my customary two editing passes by listening to the chapter recited back to me using the site's narration function, of which I find the mobile version far more quick and tolerable. We will aim for a Saturday or Sunday release, and for those curious, the chapter has reached upwards of 11,000 words.

Sorry for the delay, as I made multiple passes over several days and kept coming up with things that needed adding or fixing. But it's finally ready. The content is dramatically expanded over the previous version, now containing over 10,400 words. So it should be plenty juicy; my prereaders said it was very compelling to read. Click the following link, and you'll see the new chapter available at the bottom. No account is needed to view.

I’m home as of Sunday morning but still jetlagged after ten full days over there. I regret I didn’t get rich at the poker tables <wistful sigh>, but I had a blast anyway. Enough so, in fact, that I’m going to make you guys suffer through some pics. Yes, you will finally get to know what your author actually looks like... when I get my online album finished, that is.

I have an actual vacation on the way after a full month of extra hours. It’s been approved for next week, and I plan to do little but decompress and catch up on chores. Actual travel will be limited to maybe a day at the beach.

The new chapter is at 15.2k words and still not done, with it very likely to be broken up again. I see a natural breakpoint developing after all the memory replays are shown, and once again, it would seem best to let them—and the alternate perspective of events/major and minor revelations they show—have the spotlight instead of extending the chapter to include a major trailing M-rated scene. So it will end on the doorstep of it as our favorite Tribune finally manages to fatally offend

For all the love and support I’ve gotten the last couple weeks over my blog posts on the story, I’ve decided it’s only fair to reward everyone with a new C&C chapter, which I will be starting this week. It will be sharing creative space with the next chapter of Midnight Rising, which I’m in the middle of writing as we speak, but I’ll aim to have a completed C&C draft out in three weeks, and a chapter launch in time for April 1st.

There is a problem. What is the problem, you ask? This:

You’re looking at the comment list of Eros Chapter 16. It’s empty.

To make a long story short, we once again have an endlessly expanding chapter that’s already several thousand words bigger than I thought it would be. It’s now over 17k words, which means we’re reaching the territory where I have to consider breaking it up again. Regardless, I plan to finish it this weekend. I’m back to work on Monday but off on Tuesday for Independence Day, though I don’t know how much work will actually be done by anyone when you’re talking one working day between the weekend

Sorry for the delay, but I ended up writing a whopping 3100 words of it that I didn’t use, though I hope to find a place for it in a future chapter. Unfortunately, as hot as I found it, it just didn’t fit at this point in the story. Ah well.

As promised to certain readers who aren’t interested in clop, all R-rated and M-rated chapters of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles will be getting T-rated equivalents from here on out. That includes the first M-rated chapter I posted, which was Part 29. Its T-rated counterpart will be published this evening.

The new Firefly chapter is coming along nicely at this point, with 5700 words down and my writing proceeding fluidly--which believe me, does not always happen. It's always nice when it does, though. The working title is Redemption and Retreat, and will open with a section written from the point of view of a pony not heard from yet in this story--Blindside. Depending on how quickly I get it done, including making musical selections and some additional graphics in addition to

Target release date is Xmas day for the currently-6k word chapter. Be advised that this is heavily gay human/griffon action, though there’s certainly teasers for other types of action thrown in. No preview possible because there’s no part of this chapter that’s not M-rated. This is probably as close as I get to actual ‘drumfire’ clop, folks.

The end is in sight, both on this software release for my day job and the new chapter of C&C I've been promising for a month. With regards to the latter, I finally settled on showing three new perspectives—Giraldi, Tribune Cipio, and his aide, Optio Virgo—and limiting the chapter to those, as any more than that would overwhelm the reader and already had overwhelmed the author.

Just because that for all my writing talents, I’m not that good with humor. I once asked the great Denim_Blue if he might be willing to do a gag chapter of Firefly in the style of his Art of Warmance parody play (it was in one of his Gentleman for Mares stories) as an April Fool’s prank, and at the time he had some interest. But in hindsight, he was already on his way out of the fandom at that point, and nothing came of it. Oh, well.
