In a word... whew! I Just want it known that I put on one hell of a push for this, folks, but for as easy as it came, it was joy to do. When your muse is fully engaged, writing becomes fun. Admittedly, having the flu helped, since it meant I could spend working hours on it, and I sure as hell needed the distraction.

Over the years, I’ve found there is an inverse relationship between how much I enjoy writing a clopfic, and how much I can write on it in one sitting. Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, the more fun it is, the less time I can spend on it for reasons I’m sure everybody can guess. That’s actually a good sign for the story, for when I enjoy writing something, it tends to turn out quite well, even if it ends up being a bit late.

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.

Greetings, one and all! Whether you're a long-starved reader of the original story, or a new one just coming in, this is your starting point for Feathered Hearts - Continuation and Chronicles. In it, I will try to anticipate likely questions and explain myself, as to both why I've chosen to do this, and in this manner.

So what is this new story?

Because you’re going to get climactic chapter 31 of the story in just two days after today’s chapter 30. I considered holding it for Xmas, but in the end, it’s just about ready, so with chapter 30 fresh in everyone’s mind and readers (hopefully) eager to see what happens next, it’s on the way and will launch Tuesday night. I will also attempt to have the promised T-rated chapter 29 posted that night as well.

Spoilers for chapter 30 ahead, so don’t read this until you’ve read that.

I accidentally posted the in-progress draft of my new C&C chapter directly to the story, overwriting Chapter 37 with it. It was up for about half an hour before I noticed, so I apologize to anybody who saw it and ended up very confused or thought it was unfinished (because it was). The proper chapter content has been restored. But, since I did that, I might as well give an update on the new chapter.

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.

Wish it were Sunday. That’s my fun day.

Why a quintuple here ? Because I wanted to take care of all the revelations at once and they are a tons. Too much actually and so much so that it makes the story go from grounded to a ridiculous mess of conspiracy upon conspiracy upon conspiracy and coincidences upon coindences that just tries its hardest to work but honestly, the convoluted aspect of it all, despite being prepared for a while, feels forced and honestly makes the story become insanely silly. More so than usual. I'll try to

In the form of not baseball games, but back-to-back releases of both Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles and the second full chapter of Harmonic Resonance. Yep, you heard right—you'll get both a warfic and a clopfic on Wednesday night. I think that pretty much covers all the bases!

For the Summer Sin Celebration. For those of you unfamiliar with it, participating in it means you’re basically part of a story exchange; given an assignment to write someone else’s story request and keep it of limited length. This was the result of AJA’s assignment:

With Into the Storm chapter 3-10 in the book (3rd book of magnum opus, 10th chapter), I would like to first welcome new readers and thank returning ones for feedback. The chapter was received very well, and the graphics I made turned out to be very much appreciated and worth it to make. I'll post one of them here in hopes of enticing more folks to read Firefly.

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

Titled The Ties that Bind and weighing in at a healthy 12.2k words, it will be the final original chapter of this sequence and transition back to the original story. Prereads thus far have been very favorable, and judging by the sheer number of google doc comments from my reviewers, it should spark a lot of thought and (hopefully) good commentary among readers as well.

And now I see a lot better some of what DEL was getting at with certain references and even parts of the storyline.

When I started getting sick on Monday and one of those home COVID rapid antigen tests came back positive. But the symptoms didn’t match, as even though I was shortly running a temperature, I had no trouble breathing, my coughing was productive, and I kept my sense of smell. Instead, I was chilled and achy with a yo-yoing fever.

Hey, folks. After running my new chapter past prereaders and discussing it with them, the conclusion was unanimous—they loved all of it including the powerful combat scenes and especially some very hot adult action at the end, but the ending scene exceeded an R-rating. That left me with a dilemma, as I felt it needed to be there and didn’t wish to dial it back or remove it.

The climactic Battle of Lake Languid chapter has reached 21,000 words at this point, and given I can see the entire thing needing another 5,000 or more words before it’s finished, it’s reached the point where I have to break it up. So you’re going to be getting two chapters instead of one, in what should be reasonably quick succession.

The latest Changeling chapter has 6100 words written, and I consider it likely that I’ll have a completed draft by tomorrow night, running around 9000 words long. I’m doing my best to take DB’s Changeling lore and run with it, with perspectives from all those seen before, and the highlight of the chapter will be a quick confrontation between Queen Lepidoptes herself and Talaeus mage Optio Camilea Aeylyn at battle’s end. I’m trying to expand on her skillset by answering a question regarding
