I had Boobiliscious finished. I still needed to do some editing and posting, but I had the writing done. And then the VMI use for writing crashed, hard. I wasn't able to rescue anything from it.

I had the story file backing up to dropbox, but apparently the timing of the crash was such that I didn't get any of that work saved.

So at some point I need to get back to writing, but I haven't gotten over losing the final chapters yet.

I've been through the whole story and made minor changes to bring the early story in line with some ideas I didn't have until later in the writing process. I'm posting updated chapters a few at a time, and once those are up, I can actually start adding new chapters to the story. I never get a lot of mail about this story, but a fair number of people seem to have downloaded it. If nothing else I'd like to finish it just for the sake of completeness.

I just finished up the last chapter of Meagan's Breathing Lessons. I'll need to get everything cleaned up for posting, but all the chapters have made it to rought draft state.

I still feel bad for the state of Boobiliscious, but I've started another Samantha story. I think that the order of work is:

1) - Post MBL
2) - Write on new Samantha Story
3) - Clean up Boobiliscious
4) - Try to avoid the distraction of new story ideas I have while working on Meagan.

Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer for new Meagan chapters to start showing up.

I'm excited for two reasons. First, I can get this story off the incomplete and inactive list. Second, I've got some ideas that get from where I left off to the story conclusion in an interesting way. Not liking any of the ideas I had for finishing the story is what led to it sitting on the back burner for ages.

I'm re-reading the whole story, and I'm going to be posting updates to the existing chapters. Some of the dialogue changes a bit to make the overall story a bit more clear and cohesive, but no plat changes. And I caught a few typos and similar goofs that I can clean up by posting updates. I don't think I've had any email asking why I never finished the story, but I'd still like to finish something I started.

I've got two more chapters to put the finishing touches on to finish up the current Samantha story, so that's what will get posted next. Then updates to Boobiliscious followed up by the 4 unposted chapters. Depending on what new gets written while I'm working on that I'll either finish up Boobiliscious or start posting Meagan's Breathing Lessons.

I've got a rough draft of the first chapter written. Probably more importantly, I've converted the first two stories that were written in a standard word processor into Plume so it's a lot easier to outline and track story details for continuity.

Hope everyone is enjoying the progress of Samantha's lessons in the meantime.
