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.

Sorry for the delay. Was waiting for final prereads to come in, and I’ve been sick this past week with what might have been the norovirus due to symptoms I’d rather not mention.

Hey folks--I’m sorry for the delay in getting this teaser out. I know I promised yesterday, but work has been very unpleasant of late, with me in no less than ten hours of meetings over the past two days and really sapping my energy and time to work on this. But better late than never, here it is...

... and will likely be finished within the next few days as It’s coming pretty quickly. Will be aiming for a midweek release. As promised, this chapter will not be clop, but rather, one last round of worldbuilding before the grand finale to follow, much of it taking place over a chess match between Edgeworth and Celestia. Among other things, you’ll learn some very interesting facts about Celly and her role in on Earth over the centuries, such as:

As promised, here’s a teaser for the new chapter, which is about half done. I could actually break it off right where I am, but I won’t this time. This will be another double-sized chapter to describe the final escape from Epsilon, and all the myriad battles that happened within it. Duels, sharp fights, and naval action will be the order of the day, and you’ll get to see our Naval bridge crew and commanders in combat for the first time.

As work proceeds on Firefly book 2, I am also working towards a new TLaTU chapter release. Part 33 currently stands at just north of 6000 words, and I have an eye on publishing it this weekend, most likely Sunday. What kind of chapter will it be? A mixture of sexytimes and summer fun involving the Fairgrounds, a Ferris Wheel, and some evening music. I have one last surprise to spring that will be hinted at here, but you'll have to wait one more chapter to get it. Expect this chapter to be

The Battle of Fort Spur is over. But the Battle for Cloudsdale is about to begin. Part 6 of Flight of Firefly launches tomorrow morning at 9am Eastern. It’s time to welcome to the story a pony with a tragic past. A pony who is nigh-unbeatable in battle and perhaps the most terrifying living weapon that exists on either side...

After some discussion with my prereaders as to how best redo the climactic scene, most notably AJ_Aficionado who offered some very good advice, I believe I have settled on a new approach.

The first few hundred words are down. Titled "Rarified", which should by itself give away who the focus is on and its major scene, I will be attempting to get it ready in time for Christmas--or New Years' failing that. Why this instead of going back to Spike or the CMC? For two reasons: first, it's been too long since we teased what was about to happen to Rarity, and second, I think I owe one of my prereaders for last chapter, which I'm pretty sure he didn't enjoy reading. As he has expressed

Have everypony screw everypony else Well, yes, that, but the manner in which it's delivered is the question right now. I know from experience that serious clop chapters shouldn't *usually* be overlong or overstuffed with too many scenes; it's preferable to just focus on one or two scenes at a time. Yes, there are exceptions I make to this, as anybody who's read the ending of The Lawyer and The Unicorn can probably attest, as I like to end such stories with the sexual equivalent of

It's coming in at just under 7000 words and will launch as soon as all prereads are in--I'm only waiting on one more. Aside from continuing to build the story to its (hopefully) Halloween climax, expect the new chapter to do at least one thing I've been wanting to generally for a while and plug a major plot hole in the MLP movie. Which hole? You'll find out in the course of reading it and the author's notes.

Progress has slowed a bit over the past day, but that might be because I've been working at a breakneck pace until now. I have the first three clop chapters completed and off to prereaders, with a combined total of around 18.5k words. The 4th and 5th chapters are in progress with about 5k words written between them.

As promised earlier. All prereads are in and the first of two editing passes has been completed. It's now tipping the scales at a whopping 12,100 words, but I'm not breaking it up as I consider it a climactic chapter of a major story arc. As such, it needs to be read as a single entity. Expect one hell of a roller coaster ride, folks, and for the story to earn its dark tag in the final section. I won't say more than that, except I intend to show just how sensual and desirable, yet darkly

The next Firefly chapter is well on the way, but even at 8300 words written is not coming quickly. The last three chapters, I found, pretty much wrote themselves as I was doing scenes I'd envisioned for a while. This time? I'm trying to thread a very difficult plot needle and so far I haven't succeeded, either according to myself or the one prereader who has looked at it. Without giving away the game, this has turned into a Fell Flight-centric chapter that's trying to set something up;

Hey, folks. After eighteen months of hemming and hawing about it, I'm finally doing the promised updates and major editing pass to The Lawyer and The Unicorn. The early chapters especially need the latter as I read some of the stuff I wrote back then and wince. No more violet unicorns, more showing and less telling, and fewer ellipses, which I had tendency to severely overuse back then.

But it needs to be perfect before I hit the publish button. Reaction to the previous chapter has made very clear I have to absolutely nail this next one to validate it and address some of the concerns people have raised. Current plans are to release tomorrow, Monday the 24th, which is Memorial Day--a time to recognize fallen soldiers as well as officially kick off the summer cookout season--here in the USA. Memorial Day should be a fitting day for a new Firefly chapter release.

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.

Apologies for not checking in earlier as I promised. To make a long story short, the surgery happened on time and went off without a hitch; I was sent home a few hours later with a stack of gauze and medical tape to catch the seemingly endless drainage. It also hurt, but it turned out I didn’t need more than a couple pills of hydrocodone when all was said and done.

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
