I’ll be honest, folks. I’ve been having a very hard time getting back in the groove for Midnight Rising, as I find I can only do a few hundred words of it per day. I’ve got 4000 words down and there a couple parts I like, but the meat of the scene is just not coming quickly. Reading back over the previous chapter, I was actually impressed at how well it came out, and trying to both continue and surpass it... well, it’s a tall order, doubly so since I have to set the scene for what

Pun sadly intended. I started writing a new Midnight Rising chapter on Saturday, and so far it’s not been a struggle at all, with over 5600 words already down on it. But then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, given it involves a race near and dear to my writer heart—the griffons. You’ll get to see Midnight as she educates herself on the Kingdom and griffon anatomy along with their rather unique concepts of sensuality, with perhaps a minor assist from Juniper Neptune.

It’s with prereaders and currently weighing in at almost exactly 10k words—and that’s only after I decided to remove the trailing 4500 words to save for the next chapter. Yeah, it was getting too big too quickly, but at least writing the chapter following won’t take as long.

First and foremost, 🎇Happy New Year, folks! 🎇And second, the first preread of C&C Chapter 38 is in and favorable, courtesy of Silentwoodfire—thanks, SWF. Hopefully the rest will be as well. But while we’re waiting for that, I’d like to go back to Eros for a bit, both to work on and wonder if I made a mistake by releasing the first part of the new Changeling arc as one big chapter.

I’ve given them a week to hit it, and I’ve already started into into a brand new chapter, with the first 500 words down. At long last—and sorry again for the long sideshow there; I will address that directly in the first part of the text as Sunset gets dinged by creative writing instructor Ms. Cherilee for letting her narration lose focus—it’s time for Midnight to deal with Lemon Zest. Probably going to be a two-parter this go-around, but we’ll see.

Draft ready and will be posted as soon as it has a prereader seal of approval--including a surprising one from my good friend AJ_Aficionado! Look for it this weekend. This will be the longest chapter yet, and definitely have some surprises! You already know who's getting it in this time, but just how it happens may surprise you... Zesty is indeed the worst of the shadowbolt bunch, as will shortly become plain. What else to expect? More WTF Pinkie moments, a couple surprise cameos... and

Let's get some worries out of the way:

1) I'm not dead. I still come on here to read the fics while I'm at work during break and lunch.
2) I'm not quitting TMS. I vowed I'd get the series done before the end of this year (which is especially special since this is my chinese new year, the rooster, though I'm not sure if that's a good motivator).

Awaiting final preread before posting. Titled "Midnight Daydream", this is the climactic chapter in more ways than one, folks... you all wanted SunLight, you're going to get it. In spades. It's going to be the longest chapter of the story, and quite deservedly.

A teaser? Well... okay. But nothing suggestive. That's best saved for the full chapter so it can hit full force.

How's it been going, guys? I don't have much of an excuse for why I'm getting slow on updates in my fics, mostly because my new job has been making me stress out and exhausted by the time I get home. Sure I still had more time the rest of the afternoon/evening before I start again in the next one, but don't you ever just not want to do anything after having such a shitty day? Even when I do want to write, ideas either come and go, or I feel like focusing more on one story than the other, and

Hey folks--

Two new chapters of Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising are nearly ready, along with a fresh chapter of Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly. You'll be seeing them all in the next few days as follows:

December 23: Unleash the Magic chapter 6

Halloween approaches, and that means that after a several-month hiatus, it's time to resume work on Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night! To that end, and helped along by a one-week vacation, I intend to complete two and hopefully three new Nightmare Night chapters with the last one released on Halloween. If memory serves, there are no less than four major pending scenes--we have to finish off things at Sugar Cube Corner, show Shadowdash's subjugation of the Ponyville weather teams,

If you're not already reading Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night, I invite you to at least read its latest chapter, which is an interlude that shows the counterpart Halloween party happening at Canterlot High and is (as yet) untouched by the insanity breaking loose on the other side of the portal. No sex, sorry (as it's intended to provide a brief break from it), but it also includes some tantalizing clues as to the outcome of the (as-yet) unwritten sequel involving the

With the latest chapter of Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night behind me (and if you haven't checked it out, what's keeping you? ), I'll be aiming for a release of the next (and next-to-last) chapter of The Lawyer and The Unicorn either this weekend or early next week. It should be a schedule I can keep, given there are 4500 words already written--I was halfway through it before I stopped to work UtM-NN in the lead-up to Halloween. Regardless, since we're now in the

After a very good week for not just it but all my stories, the newest incarnation of Unleash the Magic stands as of this writing at 155/20. As a thank you and reward for all readers, both old and new, I'm writing a fresh chapter of it next. Be looking for it in a couple weeks, with updates and teasers as we get closer.

Just waiting for one final preread. It’s a shorter chapter, and for a change, it will only include a single extended scene--not the Thunderlane sequence (sadly), but Cloud Kicker/Nymphaea, which I decided after all that build-up and the length it was becoming needed to have its own chapter. So watch and read along as Blossomforth-turned-Nymphaea finally realizes her heart’s desire! It’s 4500 words long and has been well-received so far. And don’t worry--I’ll give the same extended treatment to

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.

Sorry for the wait, folks, but I *really* had to conclude that last battle in Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly before I moved on from it. But it's all good--I'm actually rather eager to work on Nightmare Night now, having had enough of writing some very bloody and complicated battle scenes! The irony of the Unleash the Magic series is, it has/will have some major battle scenes as

Hey, folks! You are invited and encouraged to check out the latest M-rated offering from longtime prereader and partner in crime AJ_Aficionado:

And be warned that the second part of the Enter the Griffons story arc is going to be even crazier than the first.

Even so, it will not conclude it; there will be a third chapter in the arc as the length of the current one has already reached 15k words with still more to come. No teaser since there’s very little in there that I could sanitize enough to excerpt, but expect everything the first offered and then some.
