An early post today (because I had time) and a late post yesterday means there's a bit of an overlap. New storyline starts here: "Double Dealing and Double Dates" (public) + "Double Dealing and Double Dates" (interactive) Last storyline ends here: "Party Favors" (public) + "Party Favors" (interactive) The new one is going to be on the short side, running for about a week. |
Oops. I forgot to post a chapter yesterday and I nearly forgot to post a chapter today. But here it is, late: "Party Favors" (public) + "Party Favors" (interactive). And that's it for that storyline. Tomorrow I shift over to another storyline, a sequel to "Teases for Two" . That's a closely related chapter to the storyline I just got through with. Background: Will is working with Keith, Philip Fairfax, and the others, after discovering that they've been trying to improve his reputation. He has taken on the guise of Jenny Ashton in order to help them with that project, but he has also talked them into launching a second project: Switching Yumi Saito and Chelsea Cooper without the two girls realizing what is going on. Will has his own private agenda, though: He wants to arrange it so that Chelsea (inside Yumi's mask) starts going out with his beta. As the sequel opens, Will has to get Yumi into a place where the switch can be made without screwing up the date that he has arranged for Yumi and his beta. |
Okay, so, I really and for true did not intend to vanish for a couple of weeks. But I hope I'm back now. It wasn't anything big that caused that unexpected hiatus. It's just that my schedule has changed recently, and that threw posting schedules and writing times out of whack, with the result that I fell behind in my writing schedule. After a week of struggling to catch up, I decided to sit things out until I had finished a storyline, that way there wouldn't be any more day to day hiccups. But it took longer for me to get a batch of chapters written than I thought it would. But I do have a backlog now, so there shouldn't be any interruptions going forward. I am also going to give you guys thirty chapters at a minimum, publishing into October, even if I have to spend the first week or so of October getting them written. So, here's the resumption of the story that I was working on: "Frenemies in High Places" (interactive) + "Frenemies in High Places" (interactive). It's for a commission, and I've written all the chapters owed in that commission, and that will run through the 28th. After that I will be publishing another short commission (also completed) of six chapters that will take us into early October. |
So, here it is: "What Goes Up Should Come Down" (public) + "What Goes Up Should Come Down" (interactive). It's the first chapter in what should turn an arc that was commissioned from me. I'd say more, but I'm only one chapter ahead, composition-wise, and I need to get to work writing more. |
