    Word is that Ian's home internet is unavailable, and will be until Monday, Jan 4th at the earliest. Until then, he will be unable to post new chapters or read and reply to other people's work and comments.


A few days ago, flooding inundated my ISP's server bank and took out pretty much their whole cover of the north of England and all of Scotland. Apparently there was some kind of knock-on effect with software that took an inordinate amount of time to reconnect. The upshot was my inability to send or receive e-mails or to access the internet.

I've now got patchy intermittent connection, but only by reverting to my antique 15-year old modem which seems better able to handle fuzzing signals than my shiny new 2015 one. My ISP and I are engaged in ongoing dialogue regarding my requirements and expectations.

Meanwhile, UT#351 is written, sans epilogues that I think I need to add in. It is a bit longer than a "standard" chapter, which in turn are about 70% longer than what I used to call an "average" chapter. This one's about a sixth of a novel long. I'll proofread it and complete the end bits in the next couple of days and, ISP willing, get it up by midweek. Apologies for the delay.

Indeed. Proceed.
