Time Scope 2 concluded this week. I know it is a cliffhanger ending, but considering where the story will go from this point, I felt it to be the best breakpoint.

I finished the review process of Sauce for the Gander this week, 8 chapters total, and uploaded the first chapter to SOL for posting on Tuesday of next week. Due to the way the posting system works, I cannot upload the remaining chapters until the first chapter is posted for reading. I'll upload the 7 remaining chapters next week for posting on Tuesday at 1-week intervals.

I have received numerous feedback messages asking about The Ark Part 2, so many will be happy that I've gone back to working on The Ark Part 2. Currently, I have about 6 draft chapters complete; a lot of revision will be needed for everything to flow together. I will also have to do a lot of research to gather the details necessary for a somewhat realistic scenario, so progress will be slow.

If you've read Part 1, you know that the Ark is an underground shelter and it has four access tunnels. The main tunnel opening is outside Auburn, Ca on the ranch Jon owns. The starting situation for Part 2 is the meteoroid storm has arrived and the Ark's 1.4 million residents (Arkians) have contracted the virus and been inoculated; most will be very sick and a few will not survive. Outside the Ark, the virus's casualty rate is expected to be about 95%. But unanticipated events will increase that casualty rate in California.

Well I need to get back to writing the story, so bye for now.

SOL is changing its feedback system. As of Saturday June 3rd, 2017 the new feedback system will go into effect.

The new system is an internal messaging system. Your feedback messages to me will be available to me on-site. The replies I sent will be available to you on-site.

This means we will all need to access the SOL website to read the internal messages.

The Webmaster will be providing details of the new system.

For those of you who wish to contact me directly by email, my email address is REP1000@outlook.com. I will respond via email.

I hope you are enjoying Time Scope 2.

Chapter 11 was posted last Tuesday and while it is not yet apparent, Jeb and Alicia's lives are about to change dramatically. Of course, if you have been reading between the lines regarding what is happening on the Altarian spaceship, then you can see there is some handwriting on the wall that indicates something will happen. You may not be able to read what is written on that wall, but you know something big is in store for Earth.

I have fallen behind on writing my coming stories as a result of several factors. Currently, I am in the process of finalizing Sauce for the Gander. As some of you may have noted, a story with an identical title has been recently posted. I have been in contact with the Authors of that story and we are in agreement to use the title for both of our stories.

I have about 8 weeks to finalize Sauce and have it ready to post when Time Scope 2's final chapter is posted. I decided to wait and allow the other Authors to finalize their story before I start posting my story. Hopefully, they will complete their story before the last chapter of Time Scope 2 is posted. If it takes them longer than 8 weeks to finish their story, I will have to re-evaluate my decision to defer posting.

Somehow I saved the wrong file as my current Opening Earth Chapter 18 file and then posted it again.


Had to go back and fix the problem again. This time it looks like I got it right. Last 2 posts were only 10 pages. This one is 20 pages, so a lot was left out.

I received several feedback emails to inform me that I appeared to have omitted several paragraphs. Thank you for letting me know about this Ooops! That little mistake actually omitted about ten pages of text.

I fixed the problem and I have submitted it for reposting. It should be reposted in a couple of hours.

You may want to reread the last half of the chapter. The portion omitted included the scene where Sandy tells Doug she is going to marry Fitz and they discuss the arrangements for the wedding, which is the background for later chapters.
