With a major denouement planned, this is going to be a big one; maybe reaching 14k words or more before all is said and done. I've still got a lot of writing to do, and I'd rather not break it up into two chapters if I can at all help it. Only reason I would is if it reaches 16k words, which is kind of my unofficial limit on a single chapter.

A teaser? Sure, a brief one. I promised there would be a new perspective on this war, and I'll reveal it here:

The next entry of Eros is finally nearing completion, as I intend to finish the chapter draft tonight and submit it to prereaders. It contains the start of our favorite group’s viewing of Midway, and I did make sure to include some screen captures of the movie with it.

It’s ready for review, but—stop me if you’ve heard this before—I broke up the chapter, since it was getting too long and a completed version would be upwards of 20,000 words. A bit too big for a clopfic, but fortunately, there was a natural breakpoint at 11k words. So that’s what you’ll be getting.

Chapter will launch when it’s in, either tonight or tomorrow night. Aside from that, the chapter is loaded and ready and has already had its editing passes. As I have a good chunk of the next chapter already written, I’ll continue with the story after. And since you’ve been so patient, and the chapter is now a couple weeks late, I’ll offer up a small (sanitized) teaser, showing another example of the google doc-type comment chains I’m incorporating into the new chapter as a narrative device.

Hey, folks. Apologies for not getting a new Nightmare Night chapter posted as I said I would over the winter holidays, but I've found I was simply burned out on it and needed to step away from it for a while. Sex scenes, while enjoyable, can also be surprisingly stressful to write.

It's just started, with the first 500 words down, but I've already worked out battle progression, which is what was giving me fits before. Best guess is it'll be a finished draft around V-day and launch the following weekend. So what to expect?

After writing six chapters over the past two and half months for Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, I'm heading back over to Nightmare Night to resume work there in a few days. But first, I need some down time after the heavy push I put on the last two Firefly chapters, which contained some very difficult action and exposition scenes. I also need to reset my focus and mindset from warfic to clopfic.

Even a lightsaber-wielding Ron Paul is excited to know that not one but two Firefly chapters are on the way, and both are draft complete. One by me, and a guest chapter by our good friend and Changeling guru Denim Blue.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

In the form of not baseball games, but back-to-back releases of both Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles and the second full chapter of Harmonic Resonance. Yep, you heard right—you'll get both a warfic and a clopfic on Wednesday night. I think that pretty much covers all the bases!

Well, I've been a busy boi. In the past week, I have written a whopping 16,000 words on both the main and side story, though mostly the side story. I've worked on two chapters for that, with a brand new one completed at 11k words. Though at that length, there's a good chance I'm going to break it in two, and then turn what it describes into a three-chapter arc. That would give me no less than five finished side story chapters, and put us on track for a Memorial Day weekend (late May) publish

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.

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.

I promised that once the Griffon Kingdom arc of Midnight Rising was finished, I would try to do a single chapter of Continuation and Chronicles before working on Nightmare Night. So here we go. Thankfully, I already have about 7000 words to work with that I removed from the ending of the previous chapter. So hopefully, it won’t take too long. I guess it depends on how easily I’m able to ease back into it after five months since the last chapter.
