Chapter 17, Kiss Me Like A Soldier Headed For War is up.

A huge, huge thanks to those who read and reviewed the last chapter. One again, I owe lots and lots to Starbrow and pencildragon11 for their gentle encouragement.

( Cut for a few research notes and links )

It's been a long time but I finally posted Chapter 16 of Apostolic Way last night.

The previous entry and comments on the story erupted with a bunch of questions, so I'll try to address them there.

So, the whopping (and I do mean whopping) Chapter 15 is up.  I thought of splitting it, but once you read it, I think you'll see why I didn't.  No historical notes, really.  It pretty much speaks for itself.

The first 4,000 words of Chapter 15 (with a notable exception in the first couple of paragraphs) repeats Chapter 1 of Rat and Sword Go To War.  ( Read more... )

Happy Easter!  Or, Happy Cat Sacrifice Day! (based upon a badly translated t-shirt econopodder spotted abroad a few years ago).

Should you be so inclined the story is up, Rat and Sword Go To War.  Once all the Big Bang stories are up, I'll post it on FF and AO3.  Also, I'm very close to posting a companion chapter to AW.  Look for that in a few days.

I spotted this on io9 when I was in Rome (who got it from Tiny Letter who in turn got it from C.S. Lewis' Letters to Children).  I wanted to reprint it here, as it is just lovely.  Lewis is writing to an American fan named Joan Lancaster in June of 1956 about the craft of writing.  I infer from it that Joan must have included  a picture of herself ( Read more... )

I had to google fu More Joy Day. Admittedly, I’m not feeling terribly joyous the last two days due to some badness and woe - one of those situations with a close family friend about your own age going into the hospital for a backache and coming out a day later with a dire prognosis.

Archive of Our Own makes stories available for download to e-readers.  However, I don't have my two large in progress works posted there.  Also, it is possible that the version of all stories is cleaner at fanfiction.net as I tend to review things there and if I spot typos or minor tweaks, I make them there.

In any event, as a reader asked, I've ( Read more... )

Finally, I get Chapter 14 up, after a detour to something hinted at in Under Cover.

There actually isn't that much research that I haven't already discussed before.

The King's Speech took some research to find and while it's quite the info dump, I just didn't feel right editing it.  The part in the House of Russell was in my previous Christmas story ( Read more... )
