Old news off to the cache.

I’m really on an excited kick with Danica.  The story is flowing through my head rapidfire now.  Writing itself quickly.  Once I finish closing out the Laresa chain, I’m going to jump in both feet.  I’ll be sending out some emails soon.  I want a proofreader or two.  First, I want someone to look over some edited chapters of Danica.  I’m going to correct the style, some errors, and a few other little things, in order to bring it up closer to par with my current work.  I want at least a good chunk of them re-edited and online before I start posting Book II.

The prize for taking on this task will be advanced reading of SOTM, because I’ll want somebody who knows Danica well to proofread the new chapters before they hit Lit too.  So whoever is willing to help with the edits, and I can work with the best ( one or more ) will get to see new SOTM Danica stories before anyone else.  No need for major grammar checking, I just want someone looking out for things my eyes might miss, and perhaps contradictions I might make while writing half-asleep.

The new chapter of Laresa is out, Fear of Freedom is Ch. 22 of Laresa.  Go RVC it! =)

I’m writing Ch. 24 now, my final chapter in the chain, and the penultimate chapter as well.  25 will be the last Laresa story in the chain, although we all agree that Laresa stories don’t have to end with the chain.  Many of us have ideas for Laresa stories to write, probably for a long time to come =)

The sequel to Blackhawk is just as clear in my mind as Danica, but Danica will have priority, because I put out an Arilee story not too long ago, and it’s time for Danica and the girls to get some time ^_^

If you haven’t voted on my Valentine’s contest entries, go do it!  Links in posts below.

We had some shakeups in the Laresa schedule, so I have Ch. 22 and Ch. 24 as well.  I just finished 22, and I’m getting ready to send it off for editing.  For those on SOL, you’ll have to read these on Lit.  There are just far too many elements of the greater plotline in these chapters, and unless you read the rest of the chain, they just won’t make enough sense.

That means that my other stuff is sort of on the back-burner for the moment.  I’m also finishing my last Vday contest entry, and I have another short story I’m going to post in a chain for FTF as well.

Once I clear that backlog out, I’ll get back into Danica’s world, promise ~_^  I decided that the transition story I was writing felt more like part of the main tale than a transition, so I’ve folded it into Book II.  That means that two chapters of SOTM are almost done, rather than a chapter and a half of a transition story.  I’m going to get at least six chapters finished, and several chapters of Danica re-edited, before I start posting SOTM.  I’ll post them about one a week/week and a half, trying to keep my writing ahead of the postings.  With the shorter chapters, it should be easier than it was on Book I of Danica.

That’s all for now, don’t forget to vote and comment on my stories.  My feedback has been falling off lately.  That’s the only payment a free author gets.  Those votes, PCs, and emails mean a lot to us.  They’re the inspiration to keep writing!

Genie Valentine is up at Lit.

An entry in the Valentine’s contest.  A family in need of healing finds it in the genie, Laresa.  Once again, contest stories need 25 votes to qualify, so go have a read and a vote.  Be a pal!

The next story bridging the gap between Ch. 15 ( “Deified” ) and 16 of Laresa is also out.  This story immediately follows “Of the People”: The Beast Within
