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.
Wow, I am getting really off schedule recently... I gotta work on that. Promotion time!
-Imperfect Stasis - A story by Mocha Star that is sadly hidden for how good it is. A simply wonderful Sci-fi fic. Read it.
This story was introduced to me after reading Hat Man's reviews on other Scribblefest stories, and it immediately piqued my interest for a large number of reasons. The first was some similarities between this and my own entry, as both featured an Earth pony taking to the skies, as well as being more interested in the technical aspects of it, which appealed to my engineering background. I have, in fact, studied aerospace and find it very interesting.
Like I said in a previous blog, I will be making a routine for all my stories so I don't just post one every time. This is for a few of reasons:
1. Have variety in my posting so you won't read the same things over and over
2. Continue the other stories
3. I can try to get a schedule working
It currently stands at 8500 words and will likely be over 10k when all is said and done. For that reason, I’m considering splitting it into two parts to give the climactic third section its own chapter and focus, same as I did for the Blossomforth/Cloud Kicker scene. We’ll see what my prereaders say on that score. If so, I’d simply release the two halves a couple days apart, and don’t worry; the second section has some sexytimes of its own!
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
I think I've figured things out for the issue I mentioned in the last blog post, though this chapter will only represent the first part of the setup for what is coming. Currently coming in at 9632 words, the chapter will launch as soon as prereads are in and I can make some musical selections. In the meantime, have a preview, told from Firefly's perspective:
EAS Loyalty
Cloudsdale
Central District Airship Anchorage
Alrighty y'all, I'm back in business.. sorta. From what you've probably gathered by now is that I've finally received my internet and honestly, life without internet was splendid, you guys/gals should try it sometime. Anyhow, yes, I am on the way of releasing the new chapter on Odd Beginnings and another on previously mentioned ongoing stories. And for the fact that holidays are gone, I won't be writing as much because of assignments, assessments, etc. but just know that I am working on
Titled When Friendships Falter, AJA and I have completed collaboration on it. It’s now in the hands of our other two prereaders, Silentwoodfire and Silverblade5.
What this means is it will launch as scheduled on September 1st, and it currently musters a healthy 10.3k words. It’s time to hear from the Highborne again, and learn what happens when an equally infuriated Fell Flight and Firefly come to blows over Gavian and Thunderbolt. Here, have a teaser:

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.
OK nerds, gotta question for yaz:
Who has more on-screen time in the air (as in off the ground): Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie?
Greetings, Turnabout Storm readers from your former editor and new story author. For those who did not see my blog post from yesterday, Raven Regios has passed ownership of Turnabout Storm to me. Why? For the very best possible reason: she's eight months pregnant, expecting in February!
After three months working more or less exclusively on it, Nightmare Night goes on a brief hiatus. Here's the full status on it plus future plans:
I kept my promise to get two more Temptations & Transformations side story chapters posted this past week for seven total. With more content comes more likes; I picked up four new upvotes there over the past couple days.
Courtesty of BirdsBooksBrownies, who requested and received permission to put together an effort to do a voice reading of the first four chapters with the possibility of more in the future.

Thanks to all who read and a warm welcome to those who came aboard! Please comment, folks, as I’ve seen only one so far on the new Feathered Hearts chapter as of this blog post.
