With Sincerest Apologies... · 3:00am Jan 4th, 2021
I know I promised a new Firefly chapter first for New Years, and then this weekend, but it remains not quite ready. What's taking so long, you ask? Well, an image is worth 1000 words:
I'm an IT Brony who writes stories based on a show for 8-year old girls whose content is meant for anything but 8-year old girls.
I know I promised a new Firefly chapter first for New Years, and then this weekend, but it remains not quite ready. What's taking so long, you ask? Well, an image is worth 1000 words:
I still need to do the graphics, find some suitable music, and do my customary two editing passes by listening to the chapter recited back to me using the site's narration function, of which I find the mobile version far more quick and tolerable. We will aim for a Saturday or Sunday release, and for those curious, the chapter has reached upwards of 11,000 words.
And for readers of Firefly, your presents are as follows:
1. The next Firefly chapter, tentatively titled Rock of Equestria, should be draft complete this weekend and be off to prereaders. Afterwards, I need to create the promised graphics before I release it. Total length will probably be around 9000 words or so as we start into the battles around Maresk and the struggles of the Equestrian Army to escape envelopment and bloody the gryphons a bit five days into the war.
Firstly--the new Firefly chapter stands at 6000 words and growing. I still intend to release it on or before New Year's. And secondly... I have tried and failed to get in touch with Gentlemanverse founder and Feathered Heart writer Demon Eyes Laharl, who it appears has pretty much
An even 6000 words for the former; already 3300 words down for the latter, which will open with a short section from everybody's favorite bat-eyed badass, Fell Flight.
I'm close to finished. I intend to have it draft complete tonight, meaning release should follow in the next couple days, once prereaders have their say and I do my customary couple editing passes, which I do by listening to it recited back to me with the site's voice narration feature. You'd be surprised how many issues you catch and fix by doing that, from missing and misspelled words to just questions of word choice and sentence flow.
Well, in terms of travel, they're nonexistent since my parents told me to stay away. No Christmas with family this year, though I know I'm hardly alone in that. But as for writing...
Well, I've decided a couple things. I think, after nearly four months of doing it continuously, I've burned out on clop. That's bad news for the Unleash the Magic series, but good news for Firefly. And possibly one other story.
My knee is improving and creative energies recovering, enabling me to write again. And thus, having received enthusiastic prereader approval (thanks, AJA!), the next updated Midnight Rising chapter is going live late this afternoon before I head for the gym to get swole--about 5pm US Eastern.
Or in the case of this story, probably Order 69! For reaching this auspicious number, I'd like to offer a quick thank-you for all readers, including new ones that may have come in from my ongoing update of Midnight Rising.
Sorry to not keep readers updated, but I've found it hard to feel creative over the past week. You'll understand, it's a little difficult to be interested in writing, especially sexual stuff when you're recovering from knee surgery (or really any surgery), as your body devotes its energy to healing instead of to more pleasurable pursuits.
