The Big Weekend + February Fics · 4:25am Jan 28th, 2015
Some big things are happening this weekend:
Some big things are happening this weekend:
Ok. Let's see how I did with last year's stuff:
1. Finish polishing Let Byhooves be Byhooves so I can get it out of the way.
- Done a long time ago
2. Get a proofreader(s) for Return to Flight - Relaunch
- Done and then undone, rinse and repeat. It's been a revolving door all 2014.
3. Start on Brayside Crush
- Definitely done
Now, a mixture of fan fiction and art resolutions for 2015:
1. Complete at least six comics for the year.
All righty. Some announcements:
1. If you haven't noticed by now, the revamped Chapter 1 and 2 of Return to Flight are now out. I'm releasing Chapters 3 and 4 on November 15 and 22 respectively.
2. Once those chapters are out, Brayside Crush will be coming out of hiatus. Chapter 4 needs plenty of editing but it should see the light of day before Christmas. Let's just say you'll be reading more about a certain redhead:
Thanks to Astral Fray for making this:
First revised chapter comes out on 10/24. I decided I'll just link to the Fanfiction upload for anyone that wants to read the old version.
Great news!
I will finally start releasing the improved Return to Flight in about a week or so. I will make the old version available via link while replacing the FIM chapters one by one. There's no set timetable on when new material comes out but eventually, you'll be able to read a story that's (hopefully) closer to Brayside Crush's quality.
Chapter 2 will come out next month. I haven't decided the exact date but it will probably be the 15th or 22nd. It depends on how fast I can edit it.
There will a comic coming out this Friday to tide you over, though.
Oh, and here's another art piece. Very likely you'll see this scene in Crush:
First off, I (again) thank everyone that has put up with the eternal delay for Brayside Crush. Reception is about where I had expected given it's the off-season; decent but not great reception with an average number of views. I'll take it because I'm really doing those that have been banging on my door about finishing off this series. You know who you are.
Damn. That's all I can say about that.
One other thing - my last comic before Brayside Crush's release. Blossom welcomes you even though she doesn't appear right away.
Just a reminder that Chapter 1 of Brayside Crush is coming July 04, less than one month away. Yay!
This is the point where I'd ask for an editor but it's getting to be too much of a hassle finding that one reliable person that will stay with this project until its conclusion. I'll just have to do it on my own, I guess.
The day you'd thought never would come is finally arriving.
Chapter 1 of Brayside Crush is coming out July 04, 2014.
Because of the tweaks currently being made to both Return to Flight and Top Wings, that will delay Chapter 2 for an indeterminate amount of time. However, I'd at least like to give everyone that has waited for far too long something to chew on.
I've released not one but two comics.
There's also some new art and a twist, animation. Enjoy!
I'll let the picture say it all:
Update on Brayside Crush - I've just finished writing the first draft for Chapter 4. While I have no real schedule, I'm thrilled that I have a fair amount of material at this point of the game. Given my abysmal luck with editors recently, I'm afraid to ask for a permanent one for Crush but I don't have much choice. I need those set of eyes right about now because if I can get Chapters 1-4 polished up, I can finally set a release date. Otherwise, Summer 2014 can turn out to be
I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I'm currently writing Chapter 4 of Brayside Crush. I'd much like to keep writing Crush but I may have to stop at some point soon. As I've mentioned before, I can't release Crush at all before letting everyone read the revised Return to Flight. That whole piece, 90K words in all, requires quite a bit of editing, which I wanted to handle with my occasional stepping in to tweak passages and whatnot.
That hasn't been going too well.
Hi there!
Brayside Crush is coming along a bit slow but that's okay. The first few chapters are the hardest, having to work with 10+ characters and establishing setting for a new town. Just to give you an idea, the story spans over five days and even after 15K words, I'm still stuck on Day 1. Crossing my fingers that once I get past that hurdle, everything else will fall in place and I'll have enough material that I can upload one chapter a month.
No, it's not April Fools Day and neither is it a "I'm hoping to start on it at some point" type of deal.
The treequel to Return to Flight and Top Wings, Brayside Crush, is finally being written. In fact, at the time of this post, I'm just under the 10K word count, enough that I could post almost two complete chapters.
But I can't release anything just yet.
Two pieces of news:
1. I have another comic coming out on Friday. A short one but next month's will be the longest. I even have a comic completed for May. With luck, I can pump one out monthly.
2. Also on Friday, I'll be making an announcement. That's all I can say for now.
That is all.
Two things.
One, I have openings to add OCs in my April comic. You can read about it here if interested.
Two, I'm chipping away on the Return to Flight rewrite although not having an editor hurts. Otherwise, I'm certain that I can finish the whole thing in a month and then write Brayside Crush.
So close and yet so far.
As I promised, the Valentine's Day comic!
