I’ll edit part seven tonight, so that it’s ready to go when six is approved in a couple of days.

Just added the beginning of a new map for the nation of Agreseus, where Danica is sent on a task in part six to the city of Gottside.

Had another surge of votes, and unfortunately that tenth 5 vote put Part 5 in troll territory.  A single 1 vote dropped it down completely off the radar, and a subsequent 5 has done little to recover it.  Such is the way of things when you’ve got people hanging around with nothing better to do than try and kill story ratings.  At least it made it’s “H”, and I suppose it genuinely could have been someone who just didn’t like the story, it just doesn’t seem all that likely under the circumstances =P  I’ve got two parts yet missing H’s, and they both have straight fives as well.  Odds are they’ll both end up in the same boat unless they pick up a four or something along the way.  Making the top 10 is a guranteed troll slap it seems.  I guess it is always possible a Lit Troll sweep could wipe out those 1’s and recover my real rating, so I guess I can hope for that.

Duke Cerebus is transforming even as I write it.  A character I slapped in there more or less for the sole purpose of introducing the main characters and the setting has jumped her reins and taken on a life of her own.  This is now starting to feel more like a small series than a short story.  I guess you’ll not only get introduced to Mindblind and Christi in this tale, but  get to know Arilee as well.  I’ll be learning about her at the same time you do, because frankly I think she’s writing this one at times.
