Lately, I seem to be collecting reviews. The latest is review #5 for Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly:
Rise of Firefly will gift you hours of entertaining readings, especially if you are a sucker for military stories, like me...
Given the way it's developing, it's possible I'll split it into multiple chapters before all is said and done. I'll come around with a teaser when release day gets closer, but until then... I'm going to shamelessly attempt to entice some fresh Midnight Rising readers over to Nightmare Night with an excerpt. If you liked Midnight in Midnight Rising, wait until you get a load of her in Nightmare Night, as the Friendship Map summons Sunset and Sci-Twi to the pony realm
I'm currently working on a third edited chapter for Feathered Heart, which I'm still hoping to be able to post here if I rewrite them enough--basically, that's what they're telling me I have to do in order to not run afoul of site rules. I have not started the next Firefly chapter yet, though I'm certainly thinking about it, and starting to feel some strong tugs back towards Midnight Rising as well.
For Midnight Rising, which I'm pleased to say both featured, and garnered four new likes! 
First, with my sincerest apologies, I initially neglected to link the picture of Ember I used and failed to properly credit the artist. So let me take care of that now:
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.
With my second new Feathered Hearts chapter in the books—thanks to everyone who liked and commented!—I'm shifting back to Midnight Rising. The next chapter, which involves our favorite party animal showing a bevy of female dragons how to have fun, is already 4200 words long and growing quickly. Oddly, I'm finding myself making a lot of lore for the dragons in the process of writing
Well, there are several things to discuss this week, but before I do anything else, let me give a huge shout-out and congratulations to AJ_Aficionado, whose entry into the Found out February clopfic contest soared to #1 on the feature list, and took home the $200 top prize! It was a smashing success, as he played the site's meta game and won it, finding the perfect slot to submit his story in that all but ensured it took off.
In the previous blog post. So be it. All I ask is that folks keep it civil and refrain from personal abuse. 
But before I address that, I want to touch on my previous blog posts regarding my attempted defiance of a workplace vaccine mandate. They generated a ton of comments which, at least for the most part, were fairly civil despite vehement disagreement. For that, I thank all concerned. It's a rare thing nowadays.
3 out of 5 are in with a 4th in progress. And so far they’re quite positive, though I did end up having to excise an 800-word sequence towards the end when at least one prereader objected. I decided after sleeping on it that they were right and it was indeed over the line. That’s why writers need prereaders, folks—to save you from yourself.
Readers will be happy to know that one week after Thanksgiving, I have finally finished most of my leftovers, and what remains will make excellent sandwich fodder. I’ve also got all my Xmas decorations up, making my play to win the neighborhood decorating contest.
There is a poll I posted on an earlier blog against Feathered Hearts: Continuation and Chronicles asking what I should work on next. As I decided it was unfair to tag that story but exclude my others, I’m posting additional blogs for readers of my other active stories as well. If you want to sound off, you can do so
All but one, anyway. So far, the chapter seems to be a hit, leaving us on schedule for a Halloween night release. It'll be a shorter chapter (around 9k words) than those I've released earlier in the year, but that's because it’s a prelude to a much longer and more intense one to come.
The first Eros chapter awaits one more completed preread and an additional editing pass before publishing. I’ll do the latter this evening after I get home from work, as the plan remains to launch it tonight at around 8 PM US Eastern. If I’m lucky, it will feature for the first time. I think the like/dislike ratio is good enough at this point.
Prereader, apprentice, and partner in crime AJ_Aficionado entered the Summer Sin Celebration M-rated story contest with a story that met parameters desired by a random fimfiction user. It was preread and heavily edited/added to in places by yours truly, who greatly enjoyed doing so:

Greetings Gamers!
I just wanted to give you and update on the story. It has quickly become my most popular story, which has never been my intent, which is just so bucking crazy! 
Anywho!
After a couple false starts, I finally figured out how I’m going to fix the last Midnight Rising chapter and am attacking it with gusto now, though I’ve also been sparing some time to tweak the new Eros chapter that is only awaiting its final prereads.
At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.
Wish I had a new chapter to mark the occasion, but by coincidence I did release a new chapter of Rise of Firefly on the same day. Hard to believe it's been nearly two years since I started this, and the end is now in sight, around six or seven chapters away. It's been a long, slow climb to 200, but I've certainly gotten some help along the way, from DEL most notably--his advertising my story caused a surge of new readers in the spring, and his indulgence in letting me tell the story of
