Not much to report this week. A few tweaks here and there on the site as I have time to clean up how things work... mostly streamlining while I try to think of work arounds for more complicated bits and pieces. 

From the story side of things: I've got a new story and character from Morpheus to share with everyone. Also, coming up in the next month or so, We'll wrap up Odds and Ends (and with that, close out the first year of school in the original timeline). I've got a piece introducing my Fall 2007 freshman character, Esoteric... and Morpheus has been waiting eagerly to sweep in and fill most of the cottage himself.  I understand we also have a couple summer break stories in progress. Some of the titles I've seen people mention progress on include "Boys of Summer" and "I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore."  

On the Gen 2 side of things, E.E. and Bek are working to get the next part of Road to Whateley out the door to you... which will let us release the last part of Calamari and move on to the 'third' story in our Gen2 plotline, where we reintroduce you to Whateley Academy. Then we might release a few Gen 2 origin stories. There's Bek's origin for A.J. "The Curse of the Dragon Queen", and Morpheus has Bianca's backstory "Written in Blood" ready; and there's Tia's story from Nagrij tentatively called "Down the Rabbit's Hole"...  Of course, we probably won't get through ALL of those before we move on to story four of the main plotline, which will be from my character Shieldwall's pov... called "Good Cop / Bad Cop."

While a lot of this isn't done 'right now'... most of it is getting close and the only reason I'm not releasing things faster is that there are a few linchpin pieces that we want to release 'in order' that are going to act a lot like the latches on the overhead storage compartments on airplanes when we finally do get them up. I think it's safe to say that 'most' of the rest of the year should be very positive in quantity of stories released... especially if I can get the fan fic team moving forward (not that THEY are dragging their feet, it's mostly ME that's the bottleneck in that system right now... and I want to solve that problem).

Dear Kristen and the rest of the gang

Yes, I have been wanting more wonderful canon fiction but don't feel any pressure on my account. This stuff is invariably well worth waiting for and I totally understand that this is all a labor of love on your collective part(s).

When I saw "Glow" posted I was actually a little sad not to see a "News" posting. I read them all and try to take all of your advice to heart.

Lots of praise and kudos to the authors and also to the admin folk!

:-)
