So, if that doesn't make it obvious... today's story is going to be about Danny, Kayda's younger brother. Here's Part 1 of Elrod's new story arc "What's New, Pussycat?"

Remember to leave comments and post some feedback!

This week, we have a piece to share with you from E. E. Nalley. "The Banshee's Tale" 

I won't exagerate and claim that this story changes EVERYTHING... but hold onto your hat, it's gonna hit you with some surprises. :)

Don't forget to leave comments and post feedback in the forums. That's all E. E. eats... if you don't leave him comments, he'll starve.

I don't know how many of you have been affected by the same weather patterns I have but... it has been very hot out for mid-June this past weekend and will continue to be for the next couple days. It's been miserable, to say the least. At least the nights have been reasonably (relatively) cool, but about all we can do is find AC or keep hydrated and sweat like crazy. It's so hot in my apartment that my gummy vitamins that I take daily are kinda mushy. Craziness!

Something else that's crazy hot is these Whateley Authors. E. E. Nalley gives us another look at Tansy's road to redemption today with "Tea and Daggers". And JG's "Siblings and Savages" finishes up today as we share with you Part 3 of that story. 

Enjoy! Comment! Come to the Forums and give Feedback!

And if you're affected by the heat, be sure to drink plenty of water and stay safe. Find somewhere cool to be if you can, even if that means wandering the aisles of Walmart for a few hours during the hottest part of the day.

Today we get a bit of old school Team Kimba through the looking glass of Hank as our newest author gives you a bit more from him in "Hank 5: To the New Year!" Be sure to thank Phoenix-Spiritus with a comment or feedback in the forums! 

We have two continuations for you this week, one from JG... and one from Morpheus. We have Part 2 from JG's "Siblings and Savages" and, from Morpheus, Part 2 of "A Little R&R 2: Alyss in Wondercute Land."

For those of you who haven't been paying attention this week, there have been a few changes on the site. You'll find that the story pages themselves have a bit different header section, with some new information... including the ability to subscribe to a story/mark it as a favorite. This allows you to quickly reference the story from a "My Favorites" sidebar menu option in the STORIES menu zone. 

You'll also find that the stories (and the lower left sidebar tag cloud) now open a more effective list of stories by tag. For the moment, these new tags are limited... the ability to work with them has been installed and the tags exist... but we haven't yet gone through all 500+ story files and put the data in yet.

We've also added a couple new data fields to our story files... in addition to being able to tell which characters are in the story by their tags, we've added a specific PoV character field. This will, once all of that has been entered on the data side... will allow you to search for all stories with a given character as PoV. Likewise, we've added an "in universe" start date field.

There are also some nice changes in the search and filtering features. The results aren't great at the moment... but once all the tag data and everything is updated, these should be very powerful and able to get people to the stories they are looking for fast.

Anyhow, that's the update for the week. Enjoy the stories, don't forget to comment and give feedback! There's also a rating/vote option at the top of all the stories now, don't be afraid to use it!
