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.

Well, my pre-Christmas week vacation was memorable for all the wrong reasons, given I fell ill last Tuesday and ended up laid out pretty good, down for several days with what appears to have been a bad cold (not COVID, as my home test was negative, and it didn't feel like the flu). It left me miserable and unable to safely travel, especially not with last week's big storm crossing the country with flooding rains followed by howling winds and plunging temperatures—not what you want to deal with

I know you’re all anxious for a new chapter of Eros, but I regret to report it won’t happen this month, which is given over to writing for my Unleash the Magic series. I do pledge to have one out before the year’s end, but in the meantime, there might be something to tide you over.

At this point, I’m strongly considering releasing a T-rated version of the chapter since after rereading it a couple times, I’m thinking it got a bit too R-rated for non-clop readers in a couple places. If so, you’ll see it posted in the next few days.

Read More

And you’ll get the next M-rated chapter upgrade on Tuesday, which will be chapter 22: Know Thy Ally. There was a slight change in plans as I elected to include chapter 14: Feathered Heart with yesterday’s initial batch, as I decided it wasn’t fair to make folks wait for the full 5,000 words of Marco’s and Gilda’s first time. Not with the ending of chapter 13 leading right into it.

I've mentioned it on other blogs and batted it around in my head for a bit, but I've decided to come back to Midnight Rising to do a bonus chapter, this one centered around Gilda the Griffon's appearance and experience when she crossed over to confront the human Rainbow. What sparked this was a sudden image I had of her that I wanted to commission from an artist, and from there it turned into a fantasy about how it might have happened in the course of Midnight Rising.

It’s draft complete and already approved of by the Commissioner except for one minor request; I’m just giving myself the chance to finish it and prereaders a chance to hit the chapter before it posts. Next up in the goddess pantheon is everybody’s favorite pony-turned-human girl, and I’m taking a different approach with her.

Coming in at 6000 words; it'll be a nearly double-length chapter to close out the Ponyville Post Office story arc. Which is not to say we won't hear from this group again, both in this story and in the parent Nightmare Night adult epic! I'd like to thank AJ_Aficionado for the rapid preread, and I'm pleased to report he liked the stuff I was doing. As for who the focus is on, as there's only one unaltered pony left, it'll have to be Priority Parcel by definition, but making him the center

Aiming to be draft complete tomorrow, at which point we’ll see about a teaser. Graphics will take longer, but it’s a three-day weekend for me, so there’s plenty of time to work on it. One of the perks of working for a bank is we get all federal holidays off, including Presidents’ Day.

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.

I'm writing for her next, even though she'd find baseball a pointless pastime given pegasi could snag both grounders and fly balls nearly instantly and it would be therefore impossible for an opposing team to get hits.

Got it up over 8500 words now, with probably another 5-6k to go. Yep, gonna be another big one, like all the griffon chapters. Among (many) other things, I’m taking pains to touch on everybody else present so you can get an update on what’s going on with them, including the Shadowbolt girls and our illustrious school heads.

And since I mentioned that I’d be using a new narrative device in an earlier blog, I’ll give you a sneak preview of it, told (as always) through Sunset’s point of view:

And at long last, after a month-plus of low testosterone and being sick twice, I feel fully ready to tackle it and write some serious clop. I intend this to be the last (major) chapter of the Griffon Kingdom story arc, though some scattered action will continue there even after it.

The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?
