Reply Subj: Untold Tales #400 was especially good.

    I am tempted to do a later issue that explains where I'd have taken things had the PVB not petered to near-domancy. I was just working up to some quite major stuff with a new team when most of the posters went AWOL. At the same time Shrike turned unpleasant again, making me uncomfortable utilising his cast.


I've been uncomfortable using his cast for years now. \:\)

And I don't know why posters suddenly went AWOL, but I kind of feel like I share the blame for it. I've been exploring new writing styles, and in doing so my stories started to get longer, meaning they take longer to post. And I've been getting less and less brave with making changes to PVB chars, which means I've been posting stories that not many people here read. So I guess I haven't exactly been solving the problem.

    Given dwindling responses and mounting pressure of other work I "parked" the writing part way through #349, though the HH Homepage actually even lists the intended chapter titles up to #350 and my plots were drawn up past #360 (which, given the way my stories tend to proliferate, meant I was good to go as far as #380 easy).


I need to stop writing so many stories at once, and just finish one or two of them. \:\)

    I do have one major story that I full intend to finish when the mood takes me, and that's the Herringcarp Gothic serial. I'd have done it this Hallowe'en but I didn't get the run up time to get into a dark enough mental place.


Easy to fix. Watch the American election coverage.

    I can't imagine how it must be to live somewhere where even your home is threatened with destruction by random weather phenomenon.


It's all about preparation. You get about 5 days' notice to make sure you have enough food and water. And most of those storms only cause minor inconvenience for a few days - a really powerful one is extremely rare. Sandy was not very powerful at all, it just hit an area that was not prepared for it. And to be honest, New Englanders are stubborn and think they know better, which means they didn't bother to prepare.
