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.
