With the posting of "Leaving Francistown" underway, I've decided to post another story in its entirety. This one is a little different from the first two stories I've posted, and it's also somewhat shorter. It's a sci-fi detective/mystery story set in the early 23rd century. There are two female protagonists who, besides being PI's, are also musicians. Like the other two stories, it's a no-sex story with AI assistance, although this one has somewhat less help from AI than the others.
I'll post the story (8 chapters) later today. My intent is for it to be the first book in a series with the same characters, in the same universe. The universe will be called Zora's Aurora, and the first book is titled Glory's Shadow.
A few days from now, I plan to post a short summary (just a few pages) of the universe I've created for these stories. It won't be necessary to have read this summary before reading ZA - Glory's Shadow.
You'll see a small flurry of posts from me later today. I've decided to post the remainder of "Echoes of the Empty Earth" (chapters 10 through 12, plus an epilogue) now, and move that story to Completed status. The rest of the story should be up soon.
Admittedly, I'm doing this because I'm anxious to start posting the next story in the pipeline. It's called "Leaving Francistown". It's a simple present-day romance that's set in a location many readers may not know much about. It has cross-cultural issues that are more pronounced than those found in "Echoes of the Empty Earth". It has the No Sex code and also the Slow code. In this case, a Slooooow code might be more appropriate. The romance aspect is very slow to develop, for reasons that will become apparent.
Because of that, I plan to post the first three chapters of the new story today. The story is somewhat longer than its predecessor - 21 chapters total. My intent for now is to post chapter 4 on Wednesday, and then follow a twice-a-week posting schedule with new chapters going up on Wednesdays and Sundays. Also, like its predecessor, the story contains some AI-generated content and will also have the "AI Generated" tag, although much of the writing is my own.
I've finished writing "Leaving Francistown", so it's just a matter of posting the chapters. I do reserve the right to speed up the posting schedule later.
I've just posted Chapter 1 of a new story. The story is 12 chapters long, plus an epilogue. I plan to post new chapters twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The story is fully written, so there should not be any delays.
Full disclosure here: I've assigned the "AI Generated" tag, as it does contain AI-generated content. That said, much of the writing is my own - it's probably better to describe it as "partially AI generated" or "AI enhanced". I've gone over the AI-generated sections and edited out all of the errors that AI-generated content seems to always have - repetition, logic inconsistencies, et cetera. Hopefully, the final product is one that is worth reading. I believe it's an interesting story.
I have a few other similar stories that are nearly complete. I plan to post them one by one, following EEE. These stories will have similar themes: romance, little or no sex, usually having a cross-cultural aspect.
