Of Firefly and Midnight Rising. We’re going to see if I can crash the feature board with not one but two featureable stories. Prereads are in and I have one more editing pass to do on both, then they’re good to go. Can’t offer up much in a way of teasers right now, except maybe the campaign map I made for the new Firefly chapter:

With Into the Storm chapter 3-10 in the book (3rd book of magnum opus, 10th chapter), I would like to first welcome new readers and thank returning ones for feedback. The chapter was received very well, and the graphics I made turned out to be very much appreciated and worth it to make. I'll post one of them here in hopes of enticing more folks to read Firefly.

Titled The Ties that Bind and weighing in at a healthy 12.2k words, it will be the final original chapter of this sequence and transition back to the original story. Prereads thus far have been very favorable, and judging by the sheer number of google doc comments from my reviewers, it should spark a lot of thought and (hopefully) good commentary among readers as well.

Titled “Upper Crusted” and sitting at 7.5k words long, it’s with prereaders now. The chapter will go live when they’re done with it and I’ve completed my usual pair of editing passes, most likely tomorrow. As promised, the chapter centers around Midnight’s punishment of Upper Crust but starts with the well-earned ending of the Pinkie/Ember scene.

And now I see a lot better some of what DEL was getting at with certain references and even parts of the storyline.

When I started getting sick on Monday and one of those home COVID rapid antigen tests came back positive. But the symptoms didn’t match, as even though I was shortly running a temperature, I had no trouble breathing, my coughing was productive, and I kept my sense of smell. Instead, I was chilled and achy with a yo-yoing fever.

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.

Hey, folks. After running my new chapter past prereaders and discussing it with them, the conclusion was unanimous—they loved all of it including the powerful combat scenes and especially some very hot adult action at the end, but the ending scene exceeded an R-rating. That left me with a dilemma, as I felt it needed to be there and didn’t wish to dial it back or remove it.

The climactic Battle of Lake Languid chapter has reached 21,000 words at this point, and given I can see the entire thing needing another 5,000 or more words before it’s finished, it’s reached the point where I have to break it up. So you’re going to be getting two chapters instead of one, in what should be reasonably quick succession.

The latest Changeling chapter has 6100 words written, and I consider it likely that I’ll have a completed draft by tomorrow night, running around 9000 words long. I’m doing my best to take DB’s Changeling lore and run with it, with perspectives from all those seen before, and the highlight of the chapter will be a quick confrontation between Queen Lepidoptes herself and Talaeus mage Optio Camilea Aeylyn at battle’s end. I’m trying to expand on her skillset by answering a question regarding

And another 15k words down on Harmonic Resonance between the final two chapters, with another 3500 down on Feathered Hearts. I’ve been a busy boi, but neither is near ready for release. It’s possible at this point that the last Harmonic Resonance ascension chapter will have to be split again and end up being a three-parter, but we’ll see what shape it’s in as I get closer to done with it.

We’ll start with Harmonic Resonance first. In short, I’m making it official: The climactic Twilight chapter of Harmonic Resonance is being broken up again, as it will take a three-parter to complete and do justice. I expect the chapter draft of part 2 to be finished within the next day, so you can expect at least a 9k chapter sometime in the next week. How fast it’s out will depend on how fast I can get feedback from prereaders and the commissioner back on it.

I have to say, folks... I’ve been very happy with how the last two chapters have been received. There’s been tons of positive feedback, and I’ve picked up a slew of new likes and watches. So why not keep working on it? The next chapter will be draft complete and off to prereaders today. After that, it’s a new chapter of Eros I’ll aim for next weekend, and then I’m back to working on the next chapter of Harmonic Resonance.

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.

No, not Marco’s spear thanks to the fertility-potion-spiked cider poisoning. I mean the latest chapter of Continuation and Chronicles.

The mods have approved me posting the updated original Feathered Heart chapters to my story!

In the end, it all came to me quickly, as did the prereads, and thus I'm releasing it tomorrow—once I've done a few more editing passes and am fully satisfied with it, that is. It's normally a very good sign when I find the writing easy, and my prereaders thus far—AJ_Aficionado, SIlentwoodfire, and Silverblade5—have all said they enjoyed the chapter, which has also sparked no end of discussion from them regarding what should come after.

Read More

Chapters 10-13 R-rated/M-rated updates to Continuation and Chronicles are targeted for release on Sunday morning, with the remainder following at the rate of one additional M-rated entry plus any changed preceding chapters (which will typically be R-rated) every two days. As things stand, chapters 10-12 will be R-rated and 13 will be M-rated, though I’ve been tempted to go further with 12 as well.

The first couple prereads are in and very favorable. After all the angst and issues this chapter gave me, it appears to have turned out well in the end. Given it's gotten very long—now nearly 20k words, split between three unique perspectives—I'm giving all prereaders until Sunday morning to hit it, when I'm planning to launch it.

A warm welcome to any and all new Feathered Hearts readers, folks, whether you read Eros or just Continuation and Chronicles. I hate calling those two latest Eros chapters an ordeal, but they were at times simply for much I was trying to do and how much I wanted to include, both in terms of sex and worldbuilding. It took over a month to write what ended up being all 25,000 words, though it seems to have turned out well in the end.
