An even 6000 words for the former; already 3300 words down for the latter, which will open with a short section from everybody's favorite bat-eyed badass, Fell Flight.

You know what? Forget next week. I got on a roll, worked all day today and thus completed the next Firefly chapter, which will have undergone all its prereads by Sunday. And that means the chapter can launch tomorrow!

A teaser? Sure, why not. Here's a preview of one of Rock Biter's sections:

Equestrian Army Encampment
Rear Gate
Twelve miles southwest of Maresk, astride the road to Detrot

I've always wanted to do something like this, but What do you think is going to happen in my story?

Specifically, when you read title combo'd with the story cover.

When you read "Fallout Equestria: Fireflies and Ire" and see an armor-clad pony in the middle of the glowing sea, what is your first impression? And, based on that, what do you think the story is going to be about?

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

For fans of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, I will be aiming for a new chapter release this weekend or early next week, depending on how quickly I can get the rest written. The new chapter currently stands at 3500 words and should be at least double that length by the end. Expect it to be the second part of a three-chapter arc dealing with the Empire's first-day attack on Cloudsdale, and as promised previously, it will be told from a new point of view, the identity of whom

Prereads are in, but I promised both readers and myself I’d wait to publish until I got the battle maps made. If you want to know why it’s taking so long, here’s why:

As anybody who has read my stories knows, thestrals figure just slightly prominently. Five Stars had a thestral herdmate who later became a famous singer, Fell Flight has thestral eyes and ancestry in Firefly, and over in Nightmare Night...

Well. Anybody who reads that knows what's happening there.

Nothing is ever as bad--or as good--as it first seems. So do yourselves a favor and don't obsess over Coronavirus; checking news feeds and numbers constantly. It won't change anything and the overly-sensationalistic (and often false) coverage won't accomplish anything except to heighten anxiety. This thing will run its course and we'll come out the other side of it in decent shape; in the meantime just take care of yourselves and take what precautions you can.

I had planned to shift over to Nightmare Night after this latest chapter, but I find myself with momentum on the story again after a successful release--I really enjoyed the comments this time, folks; they told me I hit the mark I was aiming for on this chapter quite well--and a scene I very much want to get to.

Tentatively titled "Cavern Clash", which should give some clue as to its contents, it currently stands at 5200 words and climbing; I suspect it will be at around 8k when all is said and done. As I started into it, I realized I had yet to address a nagging question leftover from the first book--namely, what happened to the two Ravens captured at Epsilon the evening before the war? You know,

Wish I had a new chapter to mark the occasion, but by coincidence I did release a new chapter of Rise of Firefly on the same day. Hard to believe it's been nearly two years since I started this, and the end is now in sight, around six or seven chapters away. It's been a long, slow climb to 200, but I've certainly gotten some help along the way, from DEL most notably--his advertising my story caused a surge of new readers in the spring, and his indulgence in letting me tell the story of

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

Just wanted to let everyone know that in the first half of the month, I'm going to start a revamp of The Lawyer and The Unicorn, giving it the same attention and treatment I gave Turnabout Storm last year. That means edits, cleanup, fixes, and even the possibility of some new content.

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

But writing motivation has been lacking as issues in my personal and professional lives have picked up. For the latter, I've worked a slew of additional hours the last couple weeks, and on the home front, I've got a painful shoulder and knee as well as a home desktop that just failed and requires replacement.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Into the Storm has been reorganized into a magnum opus containing several discrete stories as opposed to a single enormous one. The story page and chapter names have been updated to reflect this, with the former now given subheadings that describe the individual stories, while the latter reflects their place in the individual story they're a part of.

I believe that is something that everyone, including my prereaders, have wanted to hear for a while. I have about 1000 words of new content already written, and this next chapter will be critical, not so much for its ending scene (which I intend to be epic) but for getting there properly and building tension for it. I promised everyone an answer as to who the biggest badass in the Equestrian military was, and you're going to get it in a scene I've been planning for some time.
