As some will have noticed, I published the first two chapters of a new saga, Daymon, this morning. While most of those first two chapters presented lots of sex, some future chapters will have a higher percentage of the political and sci-fi aspects that will define the story. I hope to publish single chapters weekly, possibly on NYC Wednesdays.
I have come to some conclusions about Las Amadas and The Team, of which a few should now be obvious. I have jettisoned the idea of chapters being single-author contributions and returned to the date being the more-important definer of chapters. I have combined all entries from individual days into much larger chapters, with the chapter detailing the Saturday of the LA-and-TT time in the compound running over 50K words. Most chapters will not be that long. I have reposted all of the first five chapters but in that combined format. For the short-term future -- hopefully, the VERY short-term future, the already published chapters from 6 to 32 are repeats of the aggregated date-based chapters 1-5. The next chapter -- the new Chapter 6 -- will publish tomorrow, but will replace the old Chapter 6, so the story will not jump back into the top of stories on the SOL feed. However, with that publishing, I hope the SOL powers will remove chapters 7-32, and we'll all be on the same page and the story can continue forward.
However, about that forwardness: Some long-time readers of Beth have objected to the expanding scope of relationships obvious in LA and TT. Because of that, I moved LA and TT to my Ridiculous Universe, and the scope of relationships will expand, possibly to ridiculousness. That's why that universe exists. I'd appreciate long-time readers of Beth's story and its sequel who object to that expansion simply quit reading rather than re-rating the story.
Thanks for reading. --BF
Finally, I will be moving Emma Smythe's story into the LA and TT story at some point soon, so will end A New Tree at that point, hopefully with some sort of resolving event that will enable the story to stand on its own.
