It was unsolicited, but still welcome, and I'd like to thank the reviewer, darksymphony777, for running it past me first before simply posting it to the story comments. His review is twenty minutes long and a bit on the stream-of-consciousness side, but definitely worth listening to as he addresses all the major parts and issues of the novelization in turn.

I'm sorry for the delay, but I had one of my worst bouts of writers' block in recent history over the third chapter of the Cloudsdale battle, unable to figure out how it was going to work--how civilians and retired veterans away from the weather factory could or would successfully fight back against the Knights and Ravens. But being down with the flu for the past few days was good for one thing; it gave me plenty of down time to think about it and I'm pleased to say I finally broke through and

Please enjoy the last sneak peek to my upcoming story MLP: A New Adventure, based on the theatrical film coming out next Friday (or Thursday evening, depending on when you want to see it), which is also when the first chapter will be released.

Till next time!

Though I find I’ve hit a bit of block and ended up deleting an entire multi-paragraph sequence last night when I didn’t like what I wrote. Let’s just say for now I’ve been presented with a slightly thorny tactical issue I’m still trying to solve, bugging me to the point I ended up dreaming about it last night. The dream even suggested a solution (involving Gavian!), though I’m not sure it’s one I can use. I’ll discuss it with prereaders later.

The climactic Battle of Epsilon chapter is draft complete and currently tipping the scales at a whopping 15,194 words. Musical selections are also made--expect some very heavy metal from a particularly appropriate album courtesy of AJ_Aficionado!--and it's now awaiting prereader passes. After due consideration, it is not going to be broken up into two parts. It's a big chapter because it needs to be in order to tell the full story of The Battle Beneath the Storm.

Tentatively titled “Storm Warning”, I'd hoped to have the new chapter draft complete by now, but it's not. It's about 2/3rds done, standing at around 6300 words currently. I've got the start, the ending, and the first of the middle sections more or less written, but two other sections remain. And then I have to make some graphics. Be advised, it's going to be a big chapter; probably 10k or more words.

It's coming, but slower than I would like. The chapter currently stands north of 13.3k words and is going to be released no later than Thursday morning even if I have to break it in two--which I really don't want to do. What's holding this one is up my busy work schedule and many little scenes and battles that have to be included; they require a lot of thought and careful planning. This one is going to set a record for number of different perspectives; each one is both essential and must

As I've been working on Nightmare Night lately and will continue to do so for at least a couple more chapters--I have momentum and a desire to keep working on it at this point since it's near its climax--I haven't put in much work on Firefly lately. There is, however, news on it. The VA work for Firefly continues, and several pieces of artwork/advertising are on the way. More guest chapters are coming, and I have made one minor but important retcon to an earlier chapter:

It's coming in at a record 17.5k words, pending any prereader-recommended changes. There will be no chapter split, and no respite for either the readers or the characters. Expect this one to go at a breakneck pace with lots of action and perspective shifts, as well as a couple twists.

It’s been three months since my last status report, and I feel it’s time for another one. Things definitely haven’t played out as I anticipated them to. For one, I hoped I’d finally get enough free time to make significant headway on all of my pony and non-pony projects. Well, nope.

Tentatively titled “Duels and Dilemmas”, I’ve already got 7k words written and am now aiming for a Sunday morning release. It’s time to introduce, or reintroduce, a previously seen character that was the creation of great Denim_Blue (peace be upon him), Gentlemanverse author and master of Changeling lore. So without further ado, here’s a brief teaser, as told from Rock Biter’s perspective:

I’m about half done with the latter, with four images generated and several more remaining as I need them to show the progression of battle and ensure my narration makes sense. Current plan is to release the chapter, titled The Daisy Regiment, tomorrow night. Feedback so far from AJA and others has been quite good, so here’s the promised teaser, with one of the finished graphics at the end:

I'm 5,000 words into the new chapter, and it'll probably be at least 15,000 before all is said and done for the penultimate action at Epsilon. I'll have to consider breaking it up into multiple chapters if gets much bigger than that.
