So it’s Friday, which means if all has gone well, you’ve read updates for All We Are, The Best Thing, Damaged, and the additions to Fiction Graveyard. Yay! If it’s gone badly, well, there’s not much I can do about it now.

Anyway. Before we get into the nitty gritty, The Best Thing is going on hiatus again for at least two weeks. I know, you guys must really hate me by now, but hey, if you’ve been putting off reading it because it’s too long, this is a fantastic chance to grab the ebook that has all the current chapters (even through Chapter 21) so you can be fresh and ready when the second half the story starts.

I ran out of my buffer chapters again, oy. I tried to get one done in time for next week, but I know even if I rush the next chapter, it likely wouldn’t be beta’d in time, and there’s no way I’m going try and hurry it through Cora, who has her own life going on. So, a slight hiatus is best for everyone.

But it’s okay because not only do you get both TBT and All We Are this week, but starting March 16, shorter episodes of Damaged will be posted, each about three scenes long which are much easier to write since I do one a day. You’ll have a lot to read, so you might not even miss TBT so much.

If you did not receive an email with Episode 005 of Damaged on Monday, then you’re not signed up for those specific updates. Damaged is on a separate website so it can have a different look, but it does not share the same update list. Please go to the website and sign up! Otherwise, you’re stuck waiting until I get around to a summary update after I post All We Are on Fridays. So go sign up! Don’t miss it when I start posting twice a week!

Yesterdays was the featured story since November 2014, but now, your featured story is The Witness. I know it’s been featured before, but I can’t help myself. Of all my older stories, it’s my personal favorite. Read, revisit it, let me know if you like 🙂

Okay, with that out of the way, what are your updates this week?  In the Fiction Graveyard, I posted all of Lupercalia. I was going to add more but it looks like the stories that are left to add all have the same editing issues that keep me from posting Poisonous Dreams #1 in bulk, so Fiction Graveyard is off the regular roster for updating again. I’ll work on getting chapters edited, but it’ll be updated when I get the chance.

You also have Chapter 21 of The Best Thing, which officially delineates our halfway point. Omg, you’re saying, I’m sure, this bastard has another 21 chapters to go? What the hell. Ha. I feel ya. I still have to write those 21 chapters, how do you think I feel? This was not supposed to be so insane, but I added the first part of the story to the outline, in which Jason and Elizabeth fall in love again–I had originally planned to just open the story with them engaged, so you know, yeah, that added a good sixteen chapters to the whole thing. I have issues.

You have Chapter 5 of All We Are, of which I am particuarly proud. It took a week to write in order to strike the right tone, but I think I nailed it (if I say so myself), and I’m looking forward to posting Chapter Six, which is the last of the calm before the storm. I’m writing this story pretty fast, so as soon as it’s finished, I can dig into Mad World have that ready to for posting.

And of course, Episode 005 of Damaged, which finished up my introductory arc of five super long episodes to build and establish my version of Port Charles, April 2014. Episodes from the future arcs will begin again with the numbering, so you’ll get Episode 001 of an Untitled Arc starting March 16.  Damaged also has a new theme to make it more distinctive from this website and I’m still working on it 🙂
