Not quite a record time for turning out a new chapter, but close. Weighing in at around 8500 words, it was a scene and sequence I'd been wanting to do for a very long time, and certainly one I'd been hyping here for quite a while. There will be no teaser, and it's possible it will released tonight as I get prereads in and edits finished. Just need some additional music selections, and we're good to go!

No, like, the absolute worst in the multiverse. I do, however, have something to offer you instead of a review...

And that would be some recommended readings:

With the latest chapter more than half-done, I'm currently projecting a Thanksgiving-ish release (Thursday, November 28th for the non-American readers) for when you want relief from family or are otherwise immobilized by too much turkey and trimmings.

As the title suggests, I'm rewriting the 'Bright Flight and the Mysterious Colours' from start to finish. That's the main reason why it was on hiatus for the longest time. Hopefully, this gives you some insight on what will be happening for the next few weeks and holidays are nearing (for me at least) so I will possibly have more progression completed by the time that session rolls around.

Yeah, I'm re-visiting old fics I've reviewed a lot lately, and this is one that I enjoyed last time I reviewed it.

Thankfully this time isn't going to be completely blind since I have started reading this fic since the last time I reviewed it. It's a good story and does a good job of telling what story it wants to tell.

With apologies, as it's currently looking unlikely I'll have anything ready by Xmas as I hoped.

New Flight of Firefly chapter now at 14k words and with another 2-3k words to go. I have major momentum on it now after struggling with it for some time, as it's finally taking shape and being fleshed out. For those who know me on Skype, I'm mostly unavailable until I finish this. Best guess at this point is it'll be draft complete tomorrow and released within a couple days after, once prereaders have given it a thorough check and thumbs-up.

I've just added a commissioned picture to A Steady Heart - part 3. SunnyWay did a gorgeous pic of Steady and Mark flying together on their date. Here it is for your convenience.

Prologue plus four full chapters are ready as well as two bonus chapters containing the Gryphon War Declaration and Celestia’s War Proclamation. I’ve also started work on the battle and campaign maps, which are admittedly in a pretty rough state right now. Remaining is a single bonus chapter to be posted at the end of the original Rise of Firefly detailing Equestrian and Gryphon rank structure, song selections, and the completion the battle and campaign maps followed by their

Tentatively titled Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, This is the story of the first half of the Pony/Gryphon War, and it opens with a bang. Here’s a preview of the prologue:

Of all the ways I thought war with the Gryphons might begin, ‘twas not with an ambush or surprise attack.

As promised in my last blog, it's now live.

Changeling Space Program.

In matching the tone of Kerbal Space Program, the changelings in general are going to be a lot less monstrous and more genial (and goofy) than normal. So will Chrysalis, to a lesser extent. And of course Cherry Berry is back.

I'm sorry for the delay, but I had one of my worst bouts of writers' block in recent history over the third chapter of the Cloudsdale battle, unable to figure out how it was going to work--how civilians and retired veterans away from the weather factory could or would successfully fight back against the Knights and Ravens. But being down with the flu for the past few days was good for one thing; it gave me plenty of down time to think about it and I'm pleased to say I finally broke through and

From all the time taken into creating this chapter, I hope everyone enjoys reading it! Share it with your friends if you think its good enough for others to see and critique as well as giving some support to the story and to me! It definitely free, no strings attached, no rope behind my back and no handcuffs in my pocket! Now, I'll be working on Bright Flight and the Mysterious Colours along with The Conquest for Equestria. I also have a plan for a new story underway but it won't be released

Though I find I’ve hit a bit of block and ended up deleting an entire multi-paragraph sequence last night when I didn’t like what I wrote. Let’s just say for now I’ve been presented with a slightly thorny tactical issue I’m still trying to solve, bugging me to the point I ended up dreaming about it last night. The dream even suggested a solution (involving Gavian!), though I’m not sure it’s one I can use. I’ll discuss it with prereaders later.

The climactic Battle of Epsilon chapter is draft complete and currently tipping the scales at a whopping 15,194 words. Musical selections are also made--expect some very heavy metal from a particularly appropriate album courtesy of AJ_Aficionado!--and it's now awaiting prereader passes. After due consideration, it is not going to be broken up into two parts. It's a big chapter because it needs to be in order to tell the full story of The Battle Beneath the Storm.

Tentatively titled “Storm Warning”, I'd hoped to have the new chapter draft complete by now, but it's not. It's about 2/3rds done, standing at around 6300 words currently. I've got the start, the ending, and the first of the middle sections more or less written, but two other sections remain. And then I have to make some graphics. Be advised, it's going to be a big chapter; probably 10k or more words.

It's coming, but slower than I would like. The chapter currently stands north of 13.3k words and is going to be released no later than Thursday morning even if I have to break it in two--which I really don't want to do. What's holding this one is up my busy work schedule and many little scenes and battles that have to be included; they require a lot of thought and careful planning. This one is going to set a record for number of different perspectives; each one is both essential and must

As I've been working on Nightmare Night lately and will continue to do so for at least a couple more chapters--I have momentum and a desire to keep working on it at this point since it's near its climax--I haven't put in much work on Firefly lately. There is, however, news on it. The VA work for Firefly continues, and several pieces of artwork/advertising are on the way. More guest chapters are coming, and I have made one minor but important retcon to an earlier chapter:

It's coming in at a record 17.5k words, pending any prereader-recommended changes. There will be no chapter split, and no respite for either the readers or the characters. Expect this one to go at a breakneck pace with lots of action and perspective shifts, as well as a couple twists.
