Between work and my inspiration for one of the new characters being all wrong and needing a rewrite of some of that character, things have really slowed down for "The Stowaway's Keeper" I am still at it when I can. Please be patient.

Thanks,

The next chapter of the Stowaway's Keeper is coming. It will likely post the week of the 30th. I am delaying it as the chapter is titled “America's Birthday” It seems apropos to release it the week of July 4th. I hope when it does post you find it worth the extra days.

The story has been edited and submitted for re-post. Lots of grammar changes an adjustment of Astrid's age but not her behavior with explanation of why. I can say that if a 50 page story took up most of my free time for 3 days I can't imagine how long it would take for one of my stories that is ten times that long. Good or bad news is most of them can be edited in the same way. So let me know what you think of the changes.

I have been writing stories for a hobby for a while, and this is not the site I started out on. It went through these same issues with changes to what was considered acceptable within a story. At Kristensboard it was the hosting company first had an issue with stories featuring under 18 characters. It then went to some other items such as incest, rape and bestiality. I do hope the site manages to navigate the waters better than Kristensboard did. I have tried logging into my account and the site appears to no longer be up. I will be adjusting stories where increasing age could be plausible. For the others I will let them fade into obscurity, if the rules change and stay that way. So while the site has returned to the original rules I would suggest if you like one of my stories and want to read it again, download it. I get the feeling it is going to be a bumpy ride for a while.

I have submitted Bunco for reposting. It is a fairly short story, so it only took three days to run all of it through a new grammar editor. But even those four short chapters had multiple grammatical errors. Which is probably explained by the fact that I did poorly in every English class I ever took. (And English is my first language, by the way. Well, actually, American Redneck is probably closer to my first language.) The biggest issue with going back and correcting the grammatical errors is it takes me away from adding to ongoing stories. Thus I will only do it when writer's block happens or I am really not motivated to add to other stories. (There are 3 other stories that have been started, but I haven't found a clean way to end them that doesn't look like I gave up and just whipped something out.) Enjoy the fix of Bunco and the very subtle changes I made with an eye to maybe doing a follow-on story.
