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.

Another Old Thing Is Renewed Again

Today's chapter—

* Interactive: "For His Love"

* Public: "For His Love"

—suspends the latest branch from a cliffhanger. But even if not a lot has happened on the page, this branch has canonically advanced the overall plot of BoM and opened up a new kind avenue for shenanigans--and for other things. A commentary/discussion post on the branch is here: "Commentary: You or Blackwell? "

.

Coming tomorrow, another commission. This one also takes place in an area that hasn't been visited in a long time.

In "Crap to the Future"

Will, who was trying to get rid of the book, put it in the school time capsule. But it seemed afterward to have vanished from there, or perhaps it never made it in. At any rate, Will (and then Carson Ioeger) become increasingly convinced that something gamey is afoot: that people at school are being replaced with doppelgangers who have subtly altered personalities. Carson's best friend, James, seems to have been a victim.

In "A Collision of Conspiracies"

, Will has the chance to tell Caleb of his and Carson's suspicions. In the road taken, Will chickens out. Tomorrow will show what happens when Will talks to Caleb.

Some of these chapters may not be familiar to readers of the Archives version of BoM (the non-interactive version), because the Archive branch petered out with "The Biggest Secret in the School"

. The missing chapters have now been added, so that you can catch up to where interactive readers have been able to get.
