It's looking pretty polished by now and coming in not far short of 13k words, though I keep tweaking it here and there. Even once the preread is in, there'll be a one-day delay so I can create the T-rated version of it. I don't like to do that until I'm satisfied the main R-rated/M-rated version is finished, in order to minimize edits or changes that would otherwise have to be done to two versions of text instead of one.

Sorry for the delay, but I'm still tweaking it and trying to give prereaders more chance to hit it. Just remember that when it does drop, you'll see three new chapters and not just one. That's because I'll be breaking up the prior chapter into three to make the chapter size more in line with the rest of the story, like I said in a previous blog.

I'm sure everyone has an opinion on what I should write next as we go forward into the New Year. On the one wing, I just left Firefly off on a massive cliffhanger after introducing a major new character, who will become the face of the Equestrian Army during the war. On the other, Midnight Rising remains to be updated, and I know my newest followers are anxious for news about when I'll be

It’s a big boi, currently coming in at just shy of 12k words as I bring the bonus material back in for a soft landing to merge it with the original material. This means long-awaited awakenings, revelations, continued intrigue, and coping against a backdrop of an ongoing crisis with the Russian Federation Ibexian Ascendancy.

It’s amazing what a little time off can do for your creative juices. I have a couple rounds of editing and need to make two or three minor maps in Photoshop before it’s fully ready, but ready it will be for launch this evening. Hopefully that will be a good way for readers to start their weekends.

I’ve noticed before that when I release multiple chapters of the same story in rapid succession, the later chapters tend to do more poorly than the initial ones in terms of views and comments. Such was the case here as the fifth Firefly chapter was released with very little apparent interest. There were only three comments on the content, and two of them were to complain about my choice of closing quote.

The last Harmonic Resonance ascension chapter involving Sci-Twi is finally starting to take shape, though I’m finding I have to feel my way through it more than most. The last chapter came to me so quickly, and yet this one isn’t coming fast at all.

Well, folks... I admit I had a couple of shaky moments not long after I released the new C&C chapter, wondering if I'd just made a grave mistake by bumping the rating and including the ending scene. An upvote was reversed and the first two comments the chapter received regarding that scene were negative, which did not bode well at all.

I launched Harmonic Resonance yesterday, and I’m honestly stunned by how poorly it did. Equestria Girls clopfics usually do well, or so I thought; I truly believed this was a surefire feature. I’m honestly not sure what I did wrong in terms of marketing it, either in the story description or the groups I added it to. If anybody has thoughts, feel free to share them.

For two reasons. First, work is picking up again, and it may stay that way through August as we have an important September deadline for my team to hit. Second, I found I needed an extended break from writing after the last two Eros chapters for all the effort I put into them. Needed to mentally rest and emotionally recharge from it before starting something new.

You’re going to get an enormous new chapter of Continuation and Chronicles by this weekend, as I’ve worked obsessively on the latest entry over the past couple days and now have it draft complete at nearly 14,000 words. Which means it’ll probably be up over 15k when all prereads are complete and my various editing passes are done. But with this comes a warning.

I promised I was going to do it in my previous blog, and the first of the updated chapters is ready with two prereads already in. Which is it?

As my surgery pain fades, my libido surges, so it’s time for me to keep a promise and return to the Unleash the Magic series in the leadup to Halloween anniversary of Nightmare Night. And that means, both it and Midnight Rising are going to be worked on almost exclusively over the next several weeks.

Well, folks, I’ve been writing a lot over the past week, but I’ve been splitting my attention between the next Midnight Rising chapter and Feathered Hearts. The former was coming frustratingly slowly as I couldn’t seem to find the correct angle for it, while the latter was coming quite quickly. I was working on the next main story chapter and thought it might be ready within days.

Sorry for the dearth of blog entries of late, and for my online friends, sorry to be scarce. The reason is that I remain rather moody right now, perhaps due to a higher-than-normal testosterone dose that seems to have thrown me for a bit of a loop. I asked for it as an experiment, but maybe it’s just too much of a good thing. Also not helping is continuing difficulties at work, though I’m pleased to report that the release I’ve been working on for well over a month was finally performed

I’m giving it enough time to finish prereads and a couple more editing passes, as well as making a T-rated version once I’m satisfied with the M-rated one. The title is simply Reunions for now, unless I find something better. Meanwhile, the second half of the previously enormous chapter I broke off from it is now approaching 11k words. I’ll aim to have it draft complete this weekend, and launch it a week after the first half. So you’ll get a two C&C chapters in (relatively) quick

Lock and load, and ready your heavy weapons, folks. A fresh chapter of Feathered Hearts - C&C is on the way within days. I find the words for it coming a lot more readily than Harmonic Resonance, whose climactic chapter remains unfinished at a whopping 16k words and is very likely at this point to be broken up again. But I’ll address that separately, as C&C appears to be giving me the break from HR I need.

After a turkey week break from work that wasn’t a full week (had to work Monday) or very restful due to travel, I’m back on the job, both in the office and writing the new C&C chapters. Yes, chapters, as with the total length of this thing now approaching 24,000 words, I’m going to have to break it up one last time. That’s just too long for an adult chapter, even a climactic one. And yes, even one chock full of lore and worldbuilding goodies.

Read More

The first chapter draft for C&C is off to prereaders, weighing in at a whopping 17,775 words. So far I’ve gotten one of those prereads back with another in progress, and the initial feedback is favorable. As I’m still picking at it and slipping stuff in, it’s likely going to be approaching 19,000 or more words when all is said and done. But I don’t think I’ll reduce its size by splitting it this time. It’s a climactic chapter, so even as a clop chapter, it will be of climatic chapter length.

Heyo, folks. Just wanted to let you know that the next Eros chapter is now with prereaders. Weighing in at 10,000 words, it's actually a little light on sex after the initial section, but as the reason involves some character development and worldbuilding, hopefully you won't mind too much. But that's not the only thing I wanted to mention.
