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!

In response to "Happy New Year!"

"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.

Bon Appetit

Today's chapter—

* Interactive: "The Hunger"

* Public: "The Hunger"

—wraps up this storyline for now. What will happen next here? Vote in the poll!: [Poll completed and deleted.]

Note that I'm running this poll using the complicated, gift-point system. Basically, you can vote for free in the linked vote. But if you want to give your vote more weight, go to {chapter:}, scroll down to the choices at the bottom, then click on the choice you want to see continued. In the page that opens, use the Tip feature at the bottom to send me WdC Gift Points. This will increase the number of votes for that choice; and the more GPs are gifted, the more votes it gets.

If your choice wins, you forfeit your GPs. (It's like you're paying for a writing commission.) If your choice loses, you get your GPs back, plus a proportional share of the GPs that were voted for the winner.

So, if you vote using GPs, you increase the chances that your choice will win; and even if you lose, not only will you get your GPs back, you might earn bonus GPs as well!

* * *

What will tomorrow bring in terms of new chapters? I'm going to gamble on the branch that I'm currently writing, and hope that I write to a stopping point before the publication schedule catches up to me. It starts with "Keith's Confliction"

.

Will gave away the book, but it has since reentered his life by falling into the hands of friends of Will's friend Keith, and they have recruited him into a plot wherein they will impersonate and replace some other people at school. (They are doing it under the excuse that it's some kind of sociological experiment.) Will and Keith, on their own, however, have decided to use the scheme as a way to get back at Seth Javits, a bully who persecutes them both. The plan is for one of them to impersonate Seth's girlfriend, the cheerleader Cindy Vredenburg. But which of them is going to impersonate her ...?

Note: The Archives broke off this storyline with "Special Effects"

. You can catch up with the interactive now with "Doubles for Pleasure"

and four more chapters after that.
