Well, I told you this was going to be a short run, and here's the last chapter in it:

* Interactive: "The Girl in the Palm of Your Hand" 
* Public: "The Girl in the Palm of Your Hand" 

Separately, I've posted an almost content-less "Commentary" thread in the forums about this branch: "Commentary: "Of Paralysis and Procrastination""   Why?

I liked writing the commentaries on the "Doppelganger" plotline, and I liked better that it seemed to give some readers permission to ask questions and post comments of their own. So I think I'm going to start doing that from now on.

In this case I don't have much to say about this very short four-chapter branchlet, but Mia is a character that other authors have sometimes mentioned an interest in. Maybe one of them will pick it up from here, or will at least say something in the forums.

But what about tomorrow's chapter, I hear you cry.

Set the Wayback Machine for "The New Job" . Will has been experimenting with the book's spells, to the point of copying his face and mind into a blank mask, and gathering dirt for a golem. But it's expensive, and to pay for it he's taken a job at his dad's work, where he has become friendly with another Westside student who works there, Sean Mitchell.

That chapter branched in two, but I deleted one of those branches (a single chapter, actually) though I moved it to the NC-BoM interactive. But tomorrow, I'll bring it back (with some serious revision) as the start of a new branch. I was pitched a story idea, and after giving it some thought I realized that this long dormant section of BoM could be reactivated as a playground for that idea.
