THE BLEP INTENSIFIES!

Big thanks to Saxopi for this one!

-Chessie

I have written and completed a story BESIDES Starlight Over Detrot. I know, impossible, right?

Believe it or not, I hammered it out in less than two days. It's been sent to my editors for proofing, but it's not THAT long (8000 words or so) so it shouldn't require too much fixing. (To the editors: You guys don't have to do this one if you don't want to. You're all volunteers after all and it's just a silly story, but I would super appreciate it if you could at least give it a glance.)

America's collective suicide attempt this last week and various other things have been bogging me down a little, but the story is on track for a chapter here in a few days. I'll be sending something to the editors tomorrow or the next day.

I'm not dead. It's just been a stressful month.

-Chessie

Please, take care of each other. There are good things in the world and ponies are still there.

-Chessie

The cast looking sharp...and Swift looking AMAZING! That's one of my favorite representations of her ever!

-Chessie

Something incredibly adorable! This is from Nightmare Night, the non-cannon side-fic.

A really good cast shot. I love Swift's expression in this one and Taxi's is SO spot on.

I actually debated with myself posting this one, because this is GRIM. Still, it's one of my favorite pieces to date.

So...the next chapter is FINALLY done. It went a direction I wasn't really predicting, but I had fun with it anyway. No biggie. That happens from time to time and I do get a laugh out of it.

The chapter is headed to the editors right now.

It took me longer than I thought it was going to to recover from my mother's presence, but...yahknow what? Fuck it, I'm doing better. I'll do my best to get back on schedule!

-Chessie

So, my mom is in town. My conservative, Christian mother who controls my inheritance.

The nudist, anti-theist, perverted, pony, tranny freak is having to tuck away her strangeness for a couple of days, at least a little, so I'm presently on a delay where Starlight is concerned. It IS BEING WRITTEN, but...

Phew.

I had a full body giggle-gasm over this...

Because Robot Chicken.

Incidentally, the next chapter is available for the editors! Go to it my brilliant friends!

-Chessie

Well, that's a thing. I've had not one, but two different users go through the ENTIRETY of Starlight Over Detrot and pull together a fantastic collection of every single Scholar's Note.

I have the absolute best readers. You guys did that HUGE undertaking in under 12 hours, no less. That's...thank you so much! JUST...thank you.

New Chapter out today!

-Chessie

I...I'm trying to write a Scholar's Note for the new chapter. Unfortunately, long ago, I did a REAL stupid. A really bad stupid.

I didn't keep track of what I've already done Scholar's Notes on. Seriously, how did I fucked that up?

Anyway, I now am faced with a two-fold problem.

My foot hurts. This has been a problem, since it means exercising is a right bastard.

I'll get over it.

MEANWHILE! Fresh art from Detrot and a new chapter on the way to the editors.

First off, an adorable picture from Derechoes who doodled this just for you guys!

Hardy is a strong stallion, but not necessarily all that handsome...

Regular readers might have figured out I've got a bit of a transhumanist streak and I'm wishing for that robotic body right now harder than can be described.

Yes, I just finished the latest chapter. It's off to the editors for revision and then to post inside of a week. We're heading for the ending here at warp speed (or what qualifies as warp speed for Detrot).

In the meantime, I've busted my neck. Fuck. All. This.

Alright editors...it's your time.

This fucker almost killed me, so give it your best. I tried a completely new and experimental writing style. It's been hard to keep it straight as things progressed, but I think the end result is pretty good.

For everyone else, we should be releasing in a couple of days. The chapter is a bit on the long side.

-Chessie

So, I gotta say, I don't put a trigger warning on my stuff very often. I think most everything I've written so far has mostly sold itself on emotional impact rather than the purely visceral. I hate trigger warnings and think they're largely bullshit.

With that said...

FUCKING...TRIGGER...WARNING.

If you have a weak stomach or if the heavy psychological terror from earlier in the story got to you, this chapter might break you.

My partner actually suggested this one and whilst I won't be able to write it myself, I thought I'd offer it to my community in case it inspires someone.

'Celestia's Home For Unfortunate Cutie-Marks'.

A place for Princess Celestia to put ponies whose marks are either incredibly dangerous or incredibly likely to get them taken advantage of. This story came out of a discussion of Taxi's talent and sort of evolved from there. Makes a pretty good setting and is ripe for conflict.

Alright ponies...the latest chapter of Starlight Over Detrot is going to be in your hooves soon. It's a bit short, but I was having a stressy week and I think it's a pretty good one.

That said, we're going to be moving into an INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL chapter immediately thereafter.

It's going to be hard for me to write. I'm going to be drinking heavily the entire time. I may end up fucking a bear at some point.

Well, if I'm going to be a writer and take this whole business seriously, I might as well make some effort to let people pay me. It's a definite improvement over describing men's penises for money. Yes, I used to do that. Paragraph long descriptions of male genitalia for three bucks a pop.

Kill me.

Anyway, I'm opening a Patreon and I've got a few goals up.

Read More

Dear lord, that took forever!

Alright, so this chapter is going to be a little bit loosey-goosey. Editors...when you read the chapter, if you see anything massive that I missed, lemme know! This was a HARD thing to write.

Read More

I'm currently plagued, so I'm going to do as much writing as I can...but that's not much.

Like, seriously, I've blown my nose on an entire roll of toilet paper. My upper lip looks like I've been making out with a cheese grater.

Fuck headcolds. Fuck'em.

They may be a delay.
