Interesting thanksgiving, DA was in the hospital but doing well now so not exactly the thanksgiving we planned but it all turned out ok

I wish I knew, but its a crap shoot. No one wants to teach anymore

I haven't but writing for NaNoMonth, be updating soon, they hopefully more often

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates (again) but I've been working like crazy. My wife and I are planning to take a trip to visit the Midwest at the end of December so I've been working extra to save money. Hasn't stopped progress on the story but I am sorry that the updates here have been lacking. Hasn't stopped me from reading all of your posts and theories. Always a treat!
Anyway, onto the Reality Check for the past two chapters:
- Jack's voyeuristic streak is somewhat of a personal confession. I haven't experienced it the way he has but I am self-aware enough to know that I probably would have reacted the same way were I in the same situation. It was difficult writing about it but it has introduced new dynamics for the character.
- The prom night (sans the sex parts) is almost exactly like how my Junior prom was.
- Jack dancing with Rhona is based off of something I did with a high school coworker of mine at my last job (she was 17, I was 22 so there was no funny business). She'd been unable to attend prom so I gave her a short dance to the music over the PA system. Wasn't great music but it was something, at least.
- What happened at Craig's party is a combination of something that actually happened at a Halloween party I attended and something that happened with a couple of guys I knew (their reactions were identical to Joe and Sam's)
- Likewise, Jack's fears of how the school would react once they heard all about it were very similar to my own.
- The way Jack described Catcher in the Rye was exactly how I described it to my English teacher after we were done reading it. My feelings on it have changed since then. My teacher was delighted with my response.
- I had a blowup like Jack's when I finally had enough of my campaign buddy's obsession. It may have been almost word-for-word, come to think of it.
Hope everyone's doing well and keeping warm. I know the winter is coming on fast (Winter is Coming) so hope you're all bundled up and ready for the holidays. I'm going to endeavor to get the next chapter out before Thanksgiving.
See you all soon!
On a more sober note, please send your best thoughts and prayers to the people of France. I don't know if I have any French readers but I have had a couple of friends in France (they are safe) but let's come together just for a little bit and keep them in our thoughts. <3

Maybe it's just me but that chapter seemed a bit short or maybe I just breezed through it quickly as I hung on every word. Very well written so it seems you got through the writer's block just fine.
Dying to know what happened with the plane so please don't take another month for the next chapter!
As for the Oaks/Carla storyline, I could see him as an ally for Max and company at some point, unless he gets killed with this stupid scam.

Lest WE Forget.

As long as it isn't the family's.

Yep, still writing. Kinda got stuck but I think I'm on a good roll here. Should have a chapter up soon, and I promise we'll see this story to a proper end, just may take a bit.

@jelad Eric has posted another chapter.
B

DA has own thread but she doesn't go on it a whole lot. I do enjoy her comments here because Mangus seems to avoid HIS thread and it is nice to know someone in the family is still around. I know he will blame it on RL - BUT !!

I don't think I could understand the next chapter without going back several and them coming forward. However he has been good in several cases of providing background info in the story. Some have criticized him for that in the past but I think it is helpful to those of us without photographic memories. I just hope he posts again SOON !!

Glad you retired ! In you profession sidetrack = DEAD.
Shame on Chrissy. Your fans want more of your series.
B

Only problem too long between posts and we lose track of relationships.
B

Don't I know it !!! Been reading his series for over a year - he has slowed down in his updates though. He seems to have gotten more evil with some of his updates.
B

Not sure I like that.
