*holds up hands helplessly* Guys, I don't choose these things. The characters talk. I write. That's what this is. And Kupper had a lot to say. Just like Roan and his elf, there was already a template to follow along to, it only needed updating. The Ryo no longer exist as a species that can breed with outsiders. They never were supposed to, but I liked the idea of Zigz glowing. I gave that up. The old version still exists over on my page under Woofajuana. The new version follows along, but skips off the path a few times, most notably by chapter 5. I hope you enjoy this revival. I'll post on Thursdays until I'm out of material or it's done. Maybe some weeks I won't post, at all. All depends. No promises made with this one. Kupper is quiet but mighty. When I hear his voice, it is short, clear, and concise, and then it's gone. Then it's back, whenever he chooses to speak. And funny enough, Roscrow has no clue he exists. He knows almost everyone else trapped in here with me, but Kupper has eluded him for years. He swears he can hear music when Zigz skips by... But, look, Roscrow! Roan gets to spank his bitch! You know why you don't get this? Because it took you 20 years to tell me you were an elf. Punishment.
Speaking of Roscrow... I know I said I would post a new chapter every other Friday... But he's so close! My beta reader is 2 more chapters away from being ahead. I really want him to get there. Like, more than I'm worried about disappointing any of you. If it does disappoint you, well, that sucks. I would hope you'd want the best story I could put out. With that in mind, I will instead post the next 3 chapters he went through. "In the Serpent's Gaze, Cost of a Bounty, and The Adventure Begins." "What are Friends For" got split into 2 smaller chapters elsewhere, but is still one chapter in my copy. Once he goes through that, he will be caught up, and the one after will be fresh content. I hope you all understand, and if you don't, that sucks. Moving on.
I love his suggestions so much, they inspire me to go through "The Rat and the Dragon" with the thought "What would Psycho say?" I hope it shows as we go forward. That story waves to the original path, blows it a kiss, and skips along through the woods. Let's go!
