I like the chapter name today lol. That a reference to what I think it is?

In response to "Taking Longer Than I Thought ..."

That's all OK. Take your time in Hollywood. Spending more time at a cabin in the woods is enjoyable while we wait for the next blockbuster.

"The Five" is much older than "The Stalker," from a time before he joined up with the artist he now uses.

As a long time Chronicstuss fan, I can’t say I remember “The Five.” The premise you describe though seems to be more along the lines of “The Stalker,” but regardless of the name I’m excited to see what you wrote!

"The Five" in question is from a long time ago, one he deleted from his account, so I can't link to it. It's my favorite chronicstuss story.

I'm not even sure I want to say anything about it because, y'know, spoilers.** So the only hint I'll offer is that it involves five high school students vacationing on an island, unaware that there's something sinister going on around them.

** My adaptation expands on the original, both with some prefatory material and also deeper dives into the characters, but is very faithful to the original, even to verbatim dialogue. So, seriously, there would be spoilers if I described the original in any but the most hand-wavy detail.

I did tone down the ... method ... by which identities are assumed, because I didn't feel like diving into some pretty grotty details over which the original webcomic glosses.

The Five? Like, the story about five tattooed guys that wear skinsuits of hot women to try to kill Saddam or something, where the tattooed guys are basically The Rock and Vin Diesel?

(Why yes, I am familiar with chronicstuss, which is why it took me by surprise. Not that I know him, but I've seen his work - specifically Simple Simon, The Cult, The Shaman, The Skinwalker, Fast Teddy, etc.)

I was gonna go with Jenny but I let that slide.

It'll be interesting to see a Gordon x Cassie relationship, though.

Sorry to hear that man, hope things get better soon. Putting down a dog is always heartbreaking.

In response to "New Poll; Another Interactive; Catching Up"

I'll mention that since the chapters are mine, any GPs will wind up going to me but I'll be sure to pass them along to Seuzz. So if you're the type to donate in these polls they'll still be going to the right place, it'll just involve a middleman.

A Poll for this Branch!

I am supposedly working on a non-BoM project, but I am still working on BoM in odd moments because I would like to have a backlog of chapters in place when I resume it in December.

The current storyline is one I want to continue, but I'd like to give the readers a say in where it goes. Besides, it's fun taking polls—I like knowing what you want.

So let's have some polls to see what you'd prefer to see in this branch.

I'm going to give us a running start, though. The first poll doesn't have to do with the choices at the end of today's chapter, but with the choices at an earlier chapter. We'll then move down the branch until we reach the terminal point.

The first poll is for "The Popular Kids"

: Will is disguised as Lindsay, and he has just learned that Andy Jensen, who is disguised as Andrew Webb, want to date Lindsay. Does Will go along with this, or does he look for another option?

There are two ways of casting a vote:

Free poll: To vote in this poll, go here—[Poll completed and deleted]

GP poll: To give your choice more weight, click on one of the chapters below send me a tip through the form at the bottom of the chapter.

* Start dating Andrew: [Voting choice deleted per completion of poll]
* Find another option: "The Complicated Love Life of Lindsay Cho"

In the final vote tally, each vote in the Free Poll will be worth 1/2 the average of the GPs contributed during the round. GPs voted for losing choices will be refunded in full to those who voted. GPs voted for the winning choice will be divided among those who voted for losing choices, in proportion to their share of GPs voted for losing choices.

In other words, if you vote GPs for a losing choice, you will get your GPs back and will likely collect a dividend proportional to the size of your GP vote. If you vote for the winning choice, your GPs will count as a kind of commission payment for seeing that storyline continued.

The poll closes at 3:00 PM (EDT) on Wednesday.
