*Fanfare!!!

Yes! I have finally got back round to writing some O&C. In fact I've spent all of today on it.

Chapters 1 to 6 have been significantly re-written, and the brand new chapters 7 & 8 have been uploaded!

It might be a good idea to re-read from the start, or from at least Chapter 3, since I've made a few changes which just won't make sense otherwise.

Even better news, I now know whih way to take the plot. I'd hit a bit of a quiet spot in the story and I didn't know how to keep it interesting until the next good bit. I think I now know what to do.

It's gonna get good=-)

Anyway, enjoy. BTW, FYI, O&C is now at around 16000 words. How long is an average short story?

Damn... after all the nagging I'd have thought someone would have been interested.

*BUMP*

I'm already half way through chapter 9 BTW.

Chapter 9 is up. Oh yeah.

Anyone picking up this thread on Monday morning and not looking at earlier Posts, Chapter 1-6 have been significantly altered. A re-read is recommended...

Having stayed up 'til 7 this morning writing, chapter 10 is now up. Amazing what you can get done when your girlfriend is out of town.

BTW, as always feedback, typos, inconsistencies and speculations about the direction of the plot are always welcome by PM or email.

Chapter 11 is underway...

D, don't read anything into the lack of posted reactions. First of all, it's the weekend. Things are usually slower around here on the weekend. Wait till Monday and people start getting back into and reading the forum. Second, you stated you did pretty much a rewrite of the exsisting sotry, so it's going to take some time for people to reread it and get accuainted with the characters again. It's hard to read 9 chapters all in a sitting, so it may take a few days.

But it's great to see you getting back to the story. I have been missing it, and I know others have as well.

Thanks Geo. I'm aware of all those things and I'm not nagging. Well... not much. Besides, if I can make ppl wait 3 months for the next chapter, the least I can do is let them read it in their own time.

Still, I'm really getting excited about this. There are some really cool bits coming up...
