It seems to have come together rather nicely in the end, settling in at not far under 12k words with more likely to be added before it goes live. I think with this one, readers will like the coda as much as the main action, and there’s a good measure of side action in here as well that might set the stage for future bonus material. At this point, it’s waiting for feedback from the commissioner and my prereading team. Best guess for launch is Tuesday or Wednesday night, depending on how fast I

To all new readers of Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles! The latest chapter featured, netting the story a slew of additional upvotes and tracks. And a downvote, but that's the curse of featuring—greater story visibility means greater opportunity for disapproval. They may sting a bit, but I care more about getting new readership than an occasional thumbs-down.

I’m currently turning the first half of Feathered Heart Chapter 4 into a brand new chapter, fleshing it out with a great deal of new content, especially at the start. It should be available within the next day or so, tipping the scales at over 11k words.

Sorry for the delay, folks. The reason is that I have some additional enhancements requested by the commissioner, who has to approve them—after I’ve finished them, that is, though it shouldn’t be much longer. At this point, expect something north of 12.5k words, meaning you’ll be getting a very juicy double-decker burger of a chapter with the first half dedicated to finishing Twilight/Midnight’s transformation. Expect it to happen in suitably sensual fashion, with two new fetishes

There is a poll I posted on an earlier blog against Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles asking what I should work on next. As I decided it was unfair to tag that story but exclude my others, I’m posting additional blogs for readers of my other active stories as well. If you want to sound off, you can do so

Which is apt, seeing how my writing plans are ever-so-slightly falling through.

Don’t worry, there will be no delay on the third chapter. However, it was reaching well north of 16k words, so I was forced to split it in two. I’m of the opinion that writers shouldn’t force people to read anymore than 14-15k at a time/per chapter, and even that is pushing it.

It’s back to work for me both at the office and writing Firefly. But only after finishing a busy week that included surgery and convalescence (which involved a lot of bloody tissues), a slew of occasionally expensive chores like installing a new toilet and buying some new clothes, and working tirelessly on Harmonic Resonance.

I’m back from Iceland, though I had an unpleasant experience getting home that involved an emergency visit to the hospital. Relax, I’m fine. Let me explain.

... In the form of a new Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles chapter which has just been sent off to prereaders. So get ready to ring in the new year with the start of a new story arc that picks up after the events described in the latest chapter of Eros. It’s back to business—mostly—but the new chapter will recap events in the Eros arc (including the as-yet unreleased chapters there) and start laying the groundwork for the next phase of the story, which will

Let’s start with some good news. AJ_Aficionado is now a week-plus removed from his procedure, which basically kinks his lower esophagus like a spiral sink trap right above the stomach to prevent acid backwash. He reports he has some minor reflux after surgery, which is said to be normal and should disappear with time along with the post-operative pain. He went home at least briefly, but is staying with family for at least as long as he needs to remain on a liquid diet.

To make a long story short, I continue to get slowly better while the new Eros chapter is at 8300 words and being written only incrementally. Its likely size is 12k or more words before all is said and done, with probably another week before it's draft complete. For the record, that's longer than I usually make clop chapters, unless they're climactic ones—in the story sense, not the sexual one. But as it happens, we're approaching the climax here, of both the story arc and the

Still stuck at home for at least one more week for his long convalescence from surgery, AJ_Aficionado updated his M-rated crossover fiction Equestria Mystery Dungeon for the first time in two years:

Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going to do about it.

Heroine: “Y’know C-Heroine… I think I’ve gotten used to you and your many many sisters.”

C-Heroine: *Happy monster noises*

Heroine: “Heh… well, now that this is all sorted, we should probably—”

*A cybernetic Heroine soon enters the metaphorical stage*

Cybernetic Heroine: “Greetings, I am H3R01N3, version 1.5.7. But you can refer to me as Heroine, HeroineBot, Cybernetic Heroine, Sweetie, or Hun.”

C-Heroine: “Uh…”

Heroine: “Oh come on! How many more or me are there?!”

I’m forced to break one chapter into two, because it got too big. The next Feathered Hearts chapter was already well over 17k words and probably on its way to 20k, which is a lot more than I typically allow in a single entry. It also had a natural breakpoint mid-chapter, so I elected to make use of it. This means you will be getting not one, but two new Feathered Hearts chapters in short order, each around 10.5k words each.

It’s with prereaders now, delayed by my workload, which has resulted in nearly 40 extra hours worked over the past two and a half weeks--and I damn well better get some comp time for that! Unfortunately, even when prereaders finish with the new chapter, it’s not ready yet--I still have to make some graphics and do song selections for it, which will take some time. So I ask your indulgence for a little longer. It may be a week, or it may be less, but the new chapter release is coming.

Well, folks... work is finally easing, and if all goes well, you’re going to see two chapters from me in the next two days. Firefly is nearly ready except for the songs and graphics, which I’m still working on, but I’ll share the base map of Harness Hill here:

Though after the intense writing effort I put into the latest entry of Eros—I put a ton of work in on it, so if you read it, please comment, folks! —I’ll probably wait a day or two before starting the new chapter of Nightmare Night to try to recharge mentally.
