Short and sweet again – I’m still without regular internet at the moment.  Danica Epilogue is done.  If I don’t have my regular connection back by Monday, I’ll sacrifice the long distance minutes to send them off for proofreading then, if I don’t do it before.

That means that Pt. 20 and Epilogue should come out on two consecutive days, if not the same day.  I’ll announce the progress of final editing and submission here.  When I say it is in the Lit editors hands, you only have about seven days to wait for the end of Book I.

My Halloween tale should be back from editing before long, and it will go into the queue on October 1st.  If the previous contests are any indication, it may very well go live at Lit that  day.

The Arilee Prequel to Blackhawk Hall is proceeding as well.  I’ll likely post each chapter as I finish it at Literotica, but I’m still deciding whether to post it “In Progress” at Storiesonline or wait until it is finished.  I’m actually leaning toward posting each chapter upon completion there as well, asking that votes be held until the story is finished.

Without regular internet, I’m a bit stalled on my next Laresa chain chapter.  I need to do a little bit of research before I can really get started on it.  I know the storyline I plan to write, but I need some details to flesh things out.  I’m really pleased with the overwhelming response to Outlaw’s Redemption, and I hope the next chapter will be received just as well.

I have a lot of things ready to add to the website, but I just don’t want to spend the long distance minutes to upload them at the moment.  As soon as I have a regular connection, everything will go up here.

Back to work, and thanks for your patience with my unpredicatable muse.

Danica 20 is now a little over half done.  I’m estimating that it will be closer to three-quarters than half by the end of the night.  I’m also estimating that it will finish this weekend.

I’ll probably let it steep for a day or two, writing the epilogue at the same time, and then send it off for proofreading.  Once it’s back, and fixed if necessary, I’ll probably still wait to submit it until the epilogue is close to finished, if not done.  I want the final chapter and the epilogue to come out almost on top of each other.

My Laresa’s World chain story chapter was submitted tonight, so look for it in the new stories list, and be sure to keep your eye open for Ch. 04 by Black Tulip before mine 🙂

I’m not going to post this story here until it goes live at Lit.  As soon as it does, it will go up here, along with modifications to the story pages that make the back links jump closer to the point of origin than they do now.

Alicia should hit Lit soon.  My Halloween story is off to Roust for editing.  Should be getting the preceding chapter for my chain story soon.  Writing a critical scene in Danica, so I’m mulling it over carefully.  The next scene is also critical, but it has been crystal clear in my head for ages, and will flow out quickly.  Most of the rest of the chapter is the same, so I should have an estimation up soon.

Updated the website with a new map, a zoom in on the Duchy of Cratel.  This is the setting for “Blackhawk Hall” and the upcoming Arilee tales.

Alicia is out at storiesonline, go vote!  A few more days until the Lit debut.  Still chuggin’ away on Danica 20.

Just got back a thorough commentary on my Halloween piece, and so I’m going to be reworking it a bit based on those suggestions.  Very detailed, many thanks RL!

Just waiting on the preceding author to finish so I can get my Laresa chain chapter finished and off to Roust.  It will probably go up here, and at S.O., a little bit before it goes live at Lit, so keep it under your hat if you see it!  Special preview for those who check the website or read me at S.O.

Finished updating all the short stories with the new whimsical borders.  I’ll go in and put in some better links soon so that the “back” buttons click back closer to the point of origin from the stories next.

Danica 20 continues apace, fear not!

The main purpose of this update, however, is to announce that Queen Alicia is now live on the Short Stories page.  You’ll probably notice some changes to that page, and a new format for the stories themselves if you look at Alicia, Danica Prelude, or Blackhawk Hall.  Blackhawk has also *finally* been transformed over to webpages.  I’ll continue to get all the stories in line with the new format soon.

Alicia has been sent out to both Lit and Storiesonline.  S.O. will have it up in short order, and it should be live at Lit in about a week.  If you read it here, go vote when it comes out on Lit and Storiesonline!
