Wonderful images! Great work!

[Evie]

Oops, I almost left out a few other important (though secondary) characters, so I have added them to the end of the "Additional Characters" section.

[Demercia]

I love these. Hoping it means a story is imminent.  Squee.....
And I love these pictures of Cecile.

Nope, this is it! This is the entire story! 

OK, maybe not. Approximately 330K words of story are heading this way soon. That's 66 chapters and an epilogue. Please don't anyone ask me to write a sequel to it anytime soon! 😱

[Evie]

OK, so my posting schedule for the last two stories was early mornings on Mondays and Thursdays. But those are now two of the mornings when I have to wake up super early to get my granddaughter to daycare, and while you would think waking almost an hour earlier would be an asset to getting chapters posted in time, in actuality I am usually scrambling to get myself ready for work before heading out the door to pick her up in time so her mom can get to her own job.

So what I am considering this time is sticking to the same or a similar schedule, but posting the chapters at night, maybe before my usual bedtime. If I do a Sunday and Wednesday night posting schedule, that would mean my UK readers would get their usual Monday/Thursday chapters, only even earlier in their day. And my US readers can get a head start on their reading, at least if they are night owls, or just wait until the next day to jump into the chapter.

Any thoughts?

[Demercia]

I think whatever works best for you.

[Nezz]

Any thoughts?

Dooooo eeeeeeeeeeet!

[Evie]

Any thoughts?

Dooooo eeeeeeeeeeet!

It's after lunch, so I done et.

Oh wait, not what you meant.... 

[Jerusha]

My goodness Evie; you are amazing!

My goodness Evie; you are amazing!

Heh. We'll see if you are still saying that about midway through as I'm putting my characters through the wringer.
