Sharing the Nation Chapters 1 & 2
Well, this is awkward. 10k words, but they're not evenly divided into complete chapters. I made a blog post on fimfiction.net explaining things, but to summarize it: I will not be posting this there until next month, by which time I hope to have a more complete presentation, including more chapters, a cover, etc.Bu...
A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapters 15 & 16 【Posted/Preview】
Oof, cutting it close, here. These are unproofed and will be on Fimfiction.net after a few days, maybe as much as week, depending.This is a bit of a milestone, as Sunset has finally lived her last days as a changeling.Lost two patrons to life, which is understandable, but i'm also not gaining any to replace them. T...
A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapters 15 & 16 【Scene-by-Scene Preview】
Some day I will actually write early enough in the month for this system to work…
A Sparkle-ling Perfection: Chapter 13 & 14
9,960 words—acceptable.I swear, at least I can write under pressure. Chapter 14 came SO much easier than Chapter 13. There's still an awkward transition or two at the end of Chapter 13 I'm going to take a look at, but otherwise I think it's okay.Anyway, as I've discussed in the past, this is going out...
【Preview】 A Sparkle-ling Perfection: Chapter 13
Sooo, yeah. Trying to force things hasn't worked out. I wanted to post an April Fool's Day chapter and I wanted to post the first chapter of the StN sequel, but it's just been fighting me at every turn, so here we are, back to skipping the scene-by-scene due to time crunch (I really would have posted it, ev...
Sooo…
There was gonna be an April Fool's Day thing.It didn't work out.Guess April will have to be a double month.
A Sparkle-ling Perfection: Chapter 12
SummaryChapter 11: 6,640 WordsChapter 12: 3,101 WordsFebruary Total: 9,741 WordsJeeze, this month was terrible. I started out all gung-ho, on pace for a 20k-word month… then I got sick and most of that momentum was wasted and I started to ask myself if I really wanted to go this direction with Twilight. Somewhere aro...
【Preview】 A Sparkle-ling Perfection: Chapter 11
Geez, it's been nearly a week since I finished the first draft of this, but then I got sick and all progress stopped. Finally got back to editing it today, and now here it is. As always, comments and corrections are not required, but extremely appreciated.
【Scene-by-Scene Preview】 A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapter 11
I'm rounding up on finishing another single-scene chapter, so I guess something needs to change. I'm going ahead and putting the preview up (same URL as last chapter) as-is, incomplete scene and all. This is also completely unedited at this point, but it's there and I'll post a diff after the editing pa...
A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapters 9 & 10
As I mentioned to those who received a preview of Chapter 9, I'm changing things around to ensure I give all off my patrons the rewards they signed up for. Because of this, these chapters are currently only available at the above Google Docs link! The posting cycle should be as follows from now on, unless this goes...
【Scene-by-Scene Preview】 A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapter 10
And here we have the first half of Twilight's Chapter. This one was threatening to all become a single scene, too.
【Preview】 A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapters 09
I was determined to make sure that scene-by-scene updates were upheld this month, so of course things would conspire to make this chapter one giant 5400-word scene. Nevertheless, here it is.You'll notice that this is Sunset's POV when normally the cycle is Twilight, then Sunset. I haven't decided yet if the...
Sharing the Night: Chapter 21 Posted on Christmas, Epilogue to be posted at midnight
I realize that this is a tad irregular, but I'm going ahead and putting this here now just to ensure that it registers for the correct month. The epilogue is almost 5k and counting and will definitely be posted tonight.Expect more posts very soon concerning the future of Sharing the Night and this Patreon. I'll...
Sharing the Night: Chapter 20 Posted
Woooooords.It occurs to me that I could actually post chapters here at the end of the month and delay the FimFiction posting in order to guarantee a decent "preview" time… I'm not sure if there would be much point.
【Preview】 Sharing the Night: Chapter 20 (38%)
I really must apologize for being lax in providing these previews. For all I have myself a month to write, things are never ready until the matter is all but moot anyway. Hopefully this is a good teaser for the full chapter which is due in… three and a half days!(Hopefully there will actually be a chapter in three an...
A Sparkle-ling Perfection: Chapters 8 & 9 Posted
ASP is a bit short this month, but STN was was long last month, so…I'm pretty sure that's how most people would prefer the balance anyway.
Preview of Sharing the Night: Chapter 19 is up
An actual chapter! The first scene or two were posted previously, but some bits have been edited and the vast majority of this is completely new. My greatest apologies for not having scene-by-scene updates for my highest tier patrons; I believe I am going to have to come up with a different reward, as I do this far too...

A Sparkle-ling Perfection scene-by-scene (sorta) preview
Okay, so I utterly failed at the whole 'scene-by-scene', thing, but it still counts as a preview!This one's a bit low-energy, so I'm still hoping to power through the second chapter. As I said on Twitter, though, I'll be doing Sharing the Night in March regardless of whether I get one or two chapter...

A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapters 3 & 4 posted!
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/274900/a-sparkle-ling-perfection
A Sparkle-ling Perfection Ch. 3 & 4 now open for pre-reading.
Only 9,200 words this time, but the first two were 15,000 combined, so my average is doing fine. Be sure to let me know if you notice I botched anything, but otherwise—just enjoy! I'll be posting both chapters tomorrow.
A Sparkle-ling Perfection scene-by-scene updated: Chapter 3 done, Chapter 4 started.
Hrm, not sure how I should handle this. I could start pre-reading for chapter 3, but I'd have to make a separate file, and there's always the possibility that I'll want to tweak something… I guess I'll hold off for now, though if it doesn't look like I'm going to finish chapter 4, chapter 3 wi...
A Sparkle-ling Perfection Chapter 3 scene-by-scene preview updated
Up to 3,306 words now. As a reminder, ASP chapters will be targeted at 5k words a piece. I may only get one out this month because of… circumstances… in which case I'll release it, but won't mark it here on Patreon until chapter four is also done.Oh, and I really need to remove that $300 goal… It turns ou...

Calling it done. Sharing the Night Chapter 16 ready for prereading
I still haven't had a chance to give it a full read over, so I may very well tweak some things if anyone spots anything strange. No complaints from the people who were reading it scene-by-scene, though, so here's hoping.
Scene-by-scene preview updated again
If anyone has a better idea about how I can make these notifications, I'm all ears. In any case, it's nearly 9k words now, and there are only a few scenes left. I hope those middle sections don't put anyone off… I still feel like they might be kind of aimless, but I've been looking at them too long. D...
