I've currently got 5000 words written with at least a couple thousand more to add; I will aim to have it ready by the weekend for a Sunday launch or sooner. Slight change in plans to chapter content, however.
Up until now, I'd been thinking I'd continue working on Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night following this weekend's release, but unfortunately, I find I need a break from writing M-rated stories for a bit.
And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:
Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.
A day late, but not a dollar short. Current progress report is that the prologue plus first two chapters are written, with the third chapter underway and to be finished tomorrow. As I want at least five chapters ready to go, we are on track for a pre-Halloween release!
Here’s the promised teaser:
Started it on a whim last Sunday and going to try to release it this weekend. It's the first of a series of bonus chapters describing what happened during UtM through the eyes of other Mane 6 members, written by them as addendum to Sunset's text. And first at bat... is Applejack! Be afraid, folks... 
Been a wild ride, but it has to end... for now. In suitably appropriate manner, of course... 
In celebration of the 300th like, making it easily my most popular story to date, the epilogue goes live on Thursday morning.
And another question for readers for it.
A warm welcome to all new readers of Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night! Thank you very much for the likes and watches. The story featured for nearly a day and a half but hasn’t quite pulled itself over the century mark for total likes yet. Nevertheless, I’m pleased with the reception, and have plenty more planned. Things are just getting started with the end of part 4, and no member of Mane 6 will escape. Will Spike, Starlight and Trixie fall prey as well? Stay tuned!
Yep, a day early! 
And here’s the final update: The prologue plus first four chapters are ready, though I’m going to save chapter four for Halloween itself since it’s still pending some prereads. The clop starts in chapter 2 and though it’s not as wall-to-wall sex as the original UtM was, it’s heavier on the plot this time and I think you’ll like the way it’s written!
With the release imminent, no teaser this time except for the ready-to-launch story cover:
It hit the featured list late yesterday evening and is currently hovering at #7! As a consequence, I’m releasing chapter 4 today to maintain its momentum. Hopefully that will help keep its heat level high for a bit!
I’m very gratified to know it’s a hit, and a warm welcome all new readers! If I could make just one request, folks? Please comment! Comments are a part of the heat level calculation, and I really would like to know what people think!
As a reward to readers for reaching that milestone, I will be doing a new chapter for Nightmare Night as soon as I’m done with the next Firefly chapter. And I will also allow folks to vote on which they’d like to see next:
- The Zecora/CMC scene
- Finish off the Spike scene
- Starlight & Trixie vs Timberannie
The choice is yours, folks. Register your vote in the comments. Thank you for following this story!
it will launch no later than Sunday, or sooner if I get prereads back in time.
Hey, folks. Thought I'd give the first update on my promised Nightmare Night clopfic, now slated for release on Monday, October 30th... or earlier if I can get it ready in time.
It's about half-done at 4000 words right now. To perhaps little surprise, I've had trouble getting back into the mood to write clop with all the crap happening in the world around us, but to that I tell myself that escapes are just made all the more important. So the work goes on.
My job is interfering, as well as worries over a couple troubled friends. The chapter is currently sitting at 11,326 words with at least 2-3k words more to go, meaning I was only able to put around 1800 words on it over the past week.
On the advice of prereader AJ_Aficionado, the-now 37,000 words I’ve written for the end of the Changeling arc is going into Eros instead of the main story. I realized he was right when he said that it was simply too big a scene for C&C and interrupted the flow too much. A single 4-5k word M-rated scene in the flow of the main story is fine, but I can’t afford to spend three whole chapters on it. I was already thinking about that, but he gave me the nudge I needed.
Thank you one and all! Not bad for what was originally supposed to be a one-shot exercise in cutting loose. I haven't forgotten that I promised some bonus chapters and sequel, but I also need to keep promises to get two of my other regular stories completed first. Though I daresay this story had an effect on The Lawyer and The Unicorn as I incorporated a certain *ahem* story element from UtM into it...
Now that we have the site back from that little hardware hiccup, it's time to move forward. The new Nightmare Night chapter is almost ready to go.
But regardless of whether I get it, Nightmare Night - Part 15 launches tonight at 8pm Eastern, as promised. It’s 5500 words long, has two major story twists, and details the emergence of the first true threat to Eclipse’s plans--Sorry, Starlight, but you really aren’t one at this point!
