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.
But enough of that. There are chapters to read! Some of it here and there is recapping, but there should be plenty to show at least a few of the t...

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. Those two patrons also made up an entire quarter of my income, so I'm going to have to rethink some things and make absolutely sure that Sharing the Nation ...

Some day I will actually write early enough in the month for this system to work…

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 to all Patrons in order to meet the end of the month deadline. Chapter 13 will be posted to FimFiction.net tomorrow-ish, and 14 will be a few days after, in case anyo...

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, even ugly as it was, except there were outright contradictions and referenced to deleted sections until I did the final editing pass. The last scene might still change a bit...

There was gonna be an April Fool's Day thing.
It didn't work out.
Guess April will have to be a double month.

Jeeze, 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 around there, I lost some patrons who were only here for Sharing the ...

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.

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 pass, so hopefully that'll be interesting.

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 badly:
- I will write words.
- When a scene break happens, I will provide the chapter up to that point for my top-tier patrons.

And here we have the first half of Twilight's Chapter. This one was threatening to all become a single scene, too.

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 Sunset chapter will be 09 or 10; they shouldn't conflict regardless.
As a note: I will be enforcing preview windows from now on regardless of deadlines (disc...

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 be changing a few things around, so make sure to keep an eye out!

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.

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 and a half days)

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.

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 often for one reason or another.
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 chapters out for February.

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.

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 will definitely go up before the end of the month.

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 out it was a good motivation to finish things within a month, but had somewhat the opposite once the deadline has passed, which is counter productive.

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.

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. Definitely picking up again as I near the end of the chapter, though.
