I wonder if Oyster50 going to ever finish Community Still Here?
https://storiesonline.net/n/32546/the-beach-house-by-oyster50 is not part of the Community stories, although it feels as though it should be.
I think I saw a comment from him - maybe in that story's comments - confirming that it was not Community.
Perhaps I should have made it clear I was only mentioning The Beach House to confirm the author is still active.
I agree that the story does have a 'smart girl' feel. Oyster50 has made a communityist about-turn and added stories to the Community Universe previously after they started out free-standing.

His last blog post on 8 31 2024 says he wants to resume the Community stories...and it looks like he has email if someone wanted to contact him
Yes, Oyster has intentions of going on with Community.
There is a chapter in progress. Retirement did not open the floodgates of writing as he imagined it would.
Oyster hisownself.
Another phrase comes to mind as well:
A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
I'm reminded of a famous quote: " The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men 'oft gang astray!"
Which one of his characters quotes in Carlie.
hisownself
Yorkshire has a much better word - hissen
Hissen, pron. C. Himself. His-sel is also very common, but not so frequently heard in the E. R. as His-sen.
Ex. He 'll a'e ti gan wiv hissen.
