SpaceCommie: This story is like Lunatics' fraternal twin brother separated at birth
Sharp Spark: Haha
Sharp Spark: Wait, really? Howso?
SpaceCommie: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/222206/daybreak
SpaceCommie: Shit dude, he's even using the same chapter naming convention as I am
Sharp Spark: Wow. That's... really long
SpaceCommie: My only major advantage, as nearly as I can tell, is that I am funnier. Considerably.
Sharp Spark: Heh.

I was looking through my old files on Google Drive and came across this, which didn't make it into The Lunatics because the characterization was wonky and I couldn't fit it into the plot properly. Still, I figured somebody might enjoy it.

I attempted some marginally more engaging way of writing this post about what I've been up to earlier. It didn't work. So, here we are.

Ghost of Heraclitus needs my help getting readers about as much as a whale needs a life preserver. That being said, I absolutely have to recommend the latest chapter of his remarkable Obiter Dicta, "Love and Other Acquired Tastes", especially to fans of The Lunatics.

So The Lunatics hit 1000 views. That's pretty cool.

To celebrate, how about this? You can ask any character from The Lunatics a question and I'll do my best to answer it in their voice. (Obviously, spoilers are a no-go).

I was absolutely delighted to find out that Lunatics had been reviewed by Seattle's Angels. The people at SA know their stuff and it was a privilege to see what they had to say about my story.

Mostly, very nice things.

I do have to take slight issue with the description of The Lunatics as having a cast of OCs.

This blog post is written for two reasons, as it happens. I was a little late with the last chapter of The Lunatics, so I felt like I owe you guys a little extra. My regular prereader was unavoidably busy, which, while understandable, also left me sitting around trying to suss out any large-scale problems with "Night". Also, I haven't posted anything for a while and that always makes me nervous.

Just what it sounds like on the tin.

Hell or high water, everybody.

Although I'd note that hell and high water pale before the disappointment of a good prereader. So yeah.

But seriously, this is a fun chapter.

This blog's title is a neat bit of advertising fiction. You don't actually get to ask me anything. Spoilers are off the table.

I will answer the most important question right off the bat, which is: "Space, when the hell are you going to publish the next chapter of The Lunatics?"

It's coming.

Soon.

Also, while I have your attention, what sort of chapter length would y'all prefer?

You guys.

I have gotten so much work done today.

Okay, so 1400 words isn't so much to brag about. But I've gotten enough done to have a pretty clear idea of where I want to take the story. And honestly, I think if I manage to pull it off effectively, it's going to be pretty epic.

And I'd like to paste in an excerpt that won't appear for some time, but I think it's a nice piece of writing.

The Lunatics became my third story to hit 100 upvotes today. That's cool. And that also makes this as good a time as any to announce that work has started in earnest on its next chapter, with more than 2300 words down already. I really, really hope I'll be able to get it out in the next two weeks.

Hey, guys. I wanted to assure you that work has started on the next chapter of The Lunatics. Here's a little excerpt that may or may not appear in some form in the next chapter.

There was a stallion sitting there on the floor, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the wall in front of him.

“That explains the smell,” Caballeron noted.
