VeryWellAged: Blog

I have created the Prologue and now the question remains, which authors do I invite to participate. If you know of any quality authors on the SOL site who don't rely on tricks (magic/MC/fantasy worlds/etc...) and you think they would be someone I should invite, please nominate them! I will then contact them.

This will have nothing to do with my work as an author. While I have written the prologue and the initial bible for this saga, I doubt I will post any of the stories. Rather I will act as a clerk.

Those authors who want to post a story in the Series will be given access to the universe, one at a time! So my job will be to manage the first come first server process and to work with the authors to make sure we keep the 'bible' current.

If you are an author here and want to see a copy of the initial bible, which I have yet to get posted as Lazeez and I are not fully set up yet, drop me a note here and I will provide it.

Here is the synopsis:
This is a multi-author, time-sequential saga of the thirty-one years of the Disciples. Each story will start as the previous story has ended. Each author will add to the saga new pieces to the saga that will be carried on by the following authors. The Disciples are Faith, Hope and Felicity. They are of this world. The lives of a small select number of people will be forever changed. Will it be for better or worse? Even the Disciples don't know.

For those who are complaining that they can't find my work on ASSTR, it is at: https://www.asstr.org/~VeryWellAged/index.htm

For those of you who are demanding I just update the stories here and come back to SOL, allow me to explain again what I have explained here before.

SOL does not permit the format needed in my stories. These include footnotes, links to (non-sexual and non-infringing) material (text and photos), various fonts, margins and colors (used in reference to textual content of included emails, and SMS text conversation). I understand the nature of how this site works. It is simply not compatible with my needs. This is NOT a compliant on my part. I am only acknowledging the fact.

SOL does not permit any sexual content related to individuals younger than 14 years of age. (Some of my work here is grandfathered in but new stories of that type are not allowed.) I understand and respect the Webmasters need to adhere to the laws where he functions. This is NOT a complaint on my part. I am only acknowledging the fact.

And so, no, I cannot update the stuff that is here because the updates include the newer format requirements I have. And, no, I cannot post anything new here, for all the reasons above.

I wish it could.

I know many still read my older and uncorrected works here. I do wish I could update what is here to reflect the updated/corrected versions and post new works. Such is not the case.

So this is just a note to announce my new novel Fifteen is available in HTML, PDF, ePub, mobe, and azw3 formats on the ASSTR website under my author's site VeryWellAged.

Some folks seem to think that if a story is part of Thread #2 that they need to read Thread #1 first.

No... that is not right. Threads are not continuations but alternative realities. Number 2 happens instead of #1 because Jake gets a visit from his aged mother. His life takes a completely different trajectory.

Number 3 happens because while in #2 Jake has to make a choice of seeing one woman or avoiding her because of a text he gets. That choice spins #3 to a completely different result from the one in #2.

The Package Deal is another Thread... we don't know how Jake gets into it as it is told from the daughter of a wife Jake marries but clearly is more related to #2 and #3 than number 1.

The new story (not yet posted) is not a new thread. It belongs tied to the reality of Thread #2 alone and has nothing to do with Thread #1.
