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

As promised on a blog in early December, I’m coming back to Midnight Rising with the intention of rewriting the poorly done ending to the Molly/Vesuvius duel to something far more fitting and appropriate. And once that’s done? I’m proceeding directly into the next chapter with the intention of putting the story back on track, finally focusing on Lemon Zest.

It’s with prereaders and has topped 11k words. I’m just waiting to receive everyone’s feedback, including the commissioner before I release it. Best guess for that is Tuesday or Wednesday night. In a late addition to the story, I decided to conclude it with one final, brief section at the very end to potentially set up a sequel or side story. Suffice it to say for now, it would appear that certain beings have a natural immunity to Sunset’s memory erasure spells.

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.

Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to try to release a new chapter of Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night in time for Christmas, as a gift to readers. I'm not sure how feasible that is with only six days to go, but I'm going to try. It may slip a day or two simply for being the holidays, and if so, apologies.

Despite not having worked on the story for a few months, my muse was with me and I punched out the chapter in record time. The full chapter draft is complete; it's just awaiting prereads before posting. A preview? I'll pass this time, but I will say this:

Hot Topic's search for her missing Gentleman will finally reach its resolution! Be looking for it tomorrow or Thursday...

Or such is the plan. After struggling with it for several weeks around other writing projects, it now stands at just short of 6000 words after I finally got some momentum on it and figured out what I'm going to do with it.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or just plain Happy Holidays if you prefer. I regret I was not able to get the new Nightmare Night chapter finished for everything else going on, but it's about half-done now and I'm still going to try and get it finished in the next couple days around family affairs. But since I feel something is owed, please accept the gift of a teaser...

If all goes well and I get it finished and my prereads back in time, that is. There are currently 5500 words written and only the climactic (pun intended) section left. Who's featured this time? All I'll say is that attention will shift away from Sugar Cube Corner for now so yet another Mane 6 member may strut her stuff and continue the chain of corruption, and you'll be able to tell instantly from the chapter title who it is.

Tentatively titled “Spoiling Strike”, it’s been very well-received by prereaders to this point, but I’m having a horrible time with the second combat section involving Kaval/Gaius, and if’s not finished to satisfaction by September 1st, I’ll release the chapter without it.

Tentatively titled Answers, it's coming quickly now, and will likely release well before September 1st. Which is fine, because that means the second chapter can be reserved for the anniversary of the story's launch. Expect no combat in this chapter but its aftermath, and a tearjerker scene or two including another harmony-fueled song inspired by a certain famous fantasy series.

A teaser was promised. And so it is delivered:

Target release date is Sunday, September 30th. What to expect? No major battles this time, as I think we need a break from them, but we'll get into the aftermath of the raids, including the gryphon search for the mole at Raptor, a parley at Epsilon, a check-in with Royal Navy Battle Group Four, another meeting with Sky Sentry, and... a song.

As of this morning, I've written another 17k words of NN content, 11k of which are contained in two completed chapters. They have already been received very well by my first prereader, though admittedly I wrote what he liked the most as a bit of a gift and thank-you to him. Which is not to say I didn't enjoy it myself!

I was reviewing the draft of the first Gilda chapter this morning, and decided it needed a great deal more fleshing out, including adding names and at least brief bios of certain supporting characters, as well some extra spice in the form of additional sexiness. So that's what I'm doing, meaning you're going to be getting a bigger and hopefully better chapter out of it.

Even after I'd been doubting I could finish the new Firefly chapter and asked others for help, it turned out I didn't need it--it wasn’t easy as the tactics and battle progression were still giving me fits, but I felt my way forward and finally found the path, grinding through the remaining 3000 words of the new chapter yesterday to complete the initial draft, to good reviews along with some suggestions for enhancements and elaborations from my prereaders.

Currently 4300 words down. Will be putting on a big push to get it done this weekend, though it's unlikely to release before next week. But since you've been so patient, here's a teaser:

News that we were planning a counterstrike was an instant morale boost to my beleaguered troops.

Or maybe it was food poisoning; take your pick as the result was the same ()--I'm resuming work on Firefly, with work being done on not one but two chapters. The release of the last one was a roaring success and easily the most popular chapter yet, judging by the number and content of the comments. I'd like to thank everyone who dropped a comment, and welcome new readers to the story as well. Interestingly, the story did NOT feature upon launch of the latest chapter, but

I'm still pecking away at the new Nightmare Night chapter, which is now nearly 10k words and will probably be upwards of 12k when all is said and done. Since I'm not finished with it yet, the Sunday release will probably slip. On the bright side, I have a three-day weekend, so there'll be plenty of time to work on it.
