You haven't even introduced the characters for the video game club! You really do have quite alot of ideas to get too. I can't wait to see them.

So, I really, really wanted to have something done by now, and under normal conditions maybe it could have been possible, but this is going to have to go on hiatus until at least mid-May, if not as late as the beginning of July.

I just have too many irons in the fire right now. I'm about to get a degree, leave my career, and permanently move seven thousand kilometers away. When these things are out of the way, I'll be able to finish act one. Hang tight.

Much appreciated. Best wishes for all these changes! :)

May your life be no more disrupted by these changes than it needs to be. When you're ready to write, I'll be ready to read :) .

Well, I'm still alive.

This is a post to announce that I've been getting some work done on this; namely, I made a few edits to the last chapter (well 900 more words,) which is sort of my ritual whenever I come back from hiatus, because I always find stuff I can't stand after a few months of distance set in, and rewriting my old stuff helps me get back on track for new stuff. Hopefully I can get the next chapter done pretty soon, though we all know my track record by now.

On the other hand, I'm happily unemployed and have the next seven months of rent paid up, so the situation is a little different.

I'm personally happy to hear all the good news: 1) alive, 2) writing, 3) secure. :)

I have a particular fondness for:

4) happily unemployed

Been there. Actually, am there. (How else do you think I get my chapters done so quickly? I'm not a machine like that brythain guy :wink:.)

'Happily unemployed' sounds like an oxymoron. But hey, I'll saddle that gift horse. I'm looking forward to more jaded commentary from my favorite AU character!
And we're back.

Congrats! I only managed three or four months of happy unemployment before I needed another job. That was some of the best time for me in the last few years (Mostly cause I fucked up college, but I hear that's part of the college experience)

Having space to think and not have pressure is wonderful, and I eagerly await the next chapter (As usual.)

Yeah, yeah. I'm still working on it. You aren't being cute.

Actually, Scene Twelve is done. Problem is, it's only about 900 words, and I need to have a discussion with my braintrust once the next two scenes are finished about whether the manner in which I'm deciding to conduct this is even meaningful.
