Work to build up a queue continues.

I have two chapters of FTMD out and checked.

Working this weekend to build that up to four, as well as start the Rogue Rules queue.

Happy Friday all.

Didn't get much writing done today, (Massive Migraine), but managed to get some down of Rogues Rules 4).

As always, your thoughts, comments and votes are welcome.

Now, back to bed

So, just now, I sent my pre-readers two Chapters for FTMD, what will be Chapter Four in the story, and the second interlude, dealing with some of the events of Chapter Four.

Right now, it looks like you guys want to make sure that you have at least one chapter a week of each story to look forward to, so this is what I'm going to do.

Until I get four chapters ahead of each story, I will be posting one chapter for each story each week. Probably FTMD during the week, Rogue's Rules on weekends. But once I have four or more chapters in the buffer, I will post chapters more frequently but not dropping below four chapters waiting, that way, even if something should go wrong, I'll still have a month of material ready to post to you guys.

Oh, and I threw an Easter Egg in chapter 4. One eagle eyed reader spotted a common mistake I made in Chapter 1, and I reference it in Chapter 4.

May the stars light your path till next we meet (a common Farewell in the Terran Federation)..

So, first of all, nearly 10K downloads across all my stories this week.

I'm flabbergasted. I'm shocked.

I question all of your collective sanity.

No, not that last one, it means so much to me that you guys read and comment and vote on my stories. When I started to write again, I hadn't set a number of views as a goal, but if you told me I was going to get 10,000 views in a week (9848 according to my story portal), I would have hid under my desk, unable to write, thinking there was no WAY I could write something that so many people would enjoy.

I would have been wrong.

So, I spent a lot of today writing, and I have the next interlude for Free Trader Mary's Dream already written (it will follow Chapter 4 in the storyline. Chapter 4 itself is about 50% written, and I hope to finish it in the next 24-48 hours.

That brings me to my question to you, the people that I write for, the reason I do this. Would you prefer I post chapters as soon as I get them back from the pre-readers, or would you like a preferred, guaranteed schedule of one to two chapters per story a week?

You'd likely get more of the story quicker if I just post as I go, but a set schedule means that you would have a guaranteed chapter waiting for you on a schedule, also allowing me to build up a backlog of chapters to post in case the muse temporarily abandons me.

Anyway, whatever you decide, I'll follow. Just keep reading, and writing, and voting.

Even if y'all are crazy in praising me so much ;)

You end up posting the first draft, and not the spellchecked, updated version.

Thanks for your patience, all, the upgraded and updated chapter 3 of FTMD is in the queue.

To make up for it, I'm giving you a bit of a preview of what's coming up early next week when Rogue's Rules 3 posts.

Our "hero" is flush with money, and finds various ways to spend it, and ends his day with the sole attention of two lovely ladies in the throes of emotion, and then meets up with an old acquaintance.

Arin Wolf just popped into my brain, asking me "Why do I have the feeling you enjoyed writing this chapter more than I did living it?"

He's right you know.

Anyway, back to bed on a rainy cold saturday. May All the Gods Above and Below (an eight kingdoms reference) bless your weekend!
