Just submitted story 499 of the 500 for this pen-name. It is called Tarzan Jr. Makes His Bones. It will be only six chapters and a total of about 15K words. The final story for this pen-name will be "Dirty Bomb in the City" as story #500. It is to be a ten chapter story of about 25K words and will mark the end of this pen-name's new content with the exception of finishing all unfinished stories. The current yellow stripe status is a total of 7 stories with 5 of those already in process leaving only 2 yellow stripes out of 500 stories. Estimate is that it will take about 12 months to finish off about 80 stories needing more work. The 14 other pen-names of Harry Lime will be cleared in the same time frame.

Just submitted a Zombie story conclusion for a short zombie story that was not popular because it didn't have the softer touch of a more personal character development. The story-line was too ambitious and the scope difficult to follow. I had to disallow voting on it because it was a target of the hidden zombie hordes. Haha just kidding. Another zombie story that is more popular is in process and will be in tomorrow. I will probably conclude that one as well because zombie stories are being overused right now and the interest is waning. Still hoping to update and/or conclude all yellow stripe stories in the next 30 to 60 days. The original Harry Lime file shows 498 stories. There are currently 23 yellow-stripe stories and they are first priority. The 2 stories to complete the block of 500 stories are already written and will be added as soon as the last yellow strip is removed. Of the total 500 stories, I have 72 stories that are not yet concluded. I will try to move them all to fully concluded status ASAP. Also within the mix of 500 stories, there are 23 stories that are planned for novella or novel length and they will be concluded in order of popularity.

As of today, Harry has 495 stories under his pen-name. As previously stated, the total number of Harry Lime stories on SOL will be 500. That means only 5 more new stories to be submitted. Most of the newer Harry Lime stories are limited in size and that is with the intent to eventually reach a point where all stories are completed and no additional chapters will be added. The stories might be revised to upgrade the quality and edit out errs. Harry has a dozen other pen-names with about 300 stories. Some of the other pen-names have longer stories of novella or novel size and they are ultimately more time-consuming. The Harry Lime pen-name has about two dozen stories that are marked incomplete and they will be slowly eliminated from that list to reflect a completed status. The additional dozen pen-names have a combined total of about 35 stories in an incomplete status and they will be addressed after the Harry Lime file is completely updated. No new stories will be added to any of the Pen-names after the 500 story limit is reached in the Harry Lime file and that will make it easier to update the remaining stories on the SOL site. In about 18 months, it is expected that 800 stories will be listed under 13 pen-names with all stories showing a status of "completed".

Just submitted chapter seven for this story. This is the pivotal chapter and the following chapters 8 thru 10 will cover the incarceration period of the story. I apologize for the length of time it has taken to write this story. I will be sure to accelerate the concluding chapters. Thank you.
